Vortex Gaming

· To start the Beginner Explorer Certificate quest, find the NPC Zafiria.
· Exit your house, turn left, cross the bridge, and head towards the ranch.
· Pass the ranch, turn left, go past the small houses, and keep going straight to find Zafiria. A cutscene will play when you approach her.

· Talk to Zafiria to register as a beginner explorer.
· For the next step, head to the entrance of the Moonlight Forest and use the provided slingshot. The slingshot should already be in your inventory.
· The Moonlight Forest is behind your house; you can easily find it by going out the back door and following the path.
· To enter the forest, you need to hit three bright spots with your slingshot to open the gate. This is the first step to entering the forest.
· Most exploration-related quests take place inside this forest. There might be NPCs outside the forest you need to talk to.

· Follow the path to bypass the blocked area.
· You need to repair a broken bridge. If you don't have the materials, gather them and repair it.
· If repair is not possible, use your pickaxe to mine the necessary materials.
· Each time you repair a bridge, a new teleportation point opens, so it's recommended to repair them as you see them.
· You need to defeat a Runebird located near the first teleportation point. When fighting Runebirds, using simple pellets as ammo is more effective than regular stones. Defeating the Runebird completes the quest.

· After completing the quest, you need to return to Star Sand Island.
· You can now pass through areas that were previously inaccessible. This allows you to travel in a large circle and return to your original starting point.

· Return to Star Sand Island and talk to Zafiria again.
· Select the 'Become a Beginner Explorer' option to finalize the quest.
· You are now a Star Island Explorer.
