Community is what makes games even more enjoyable.

It brings together like-minded players to chat, share information, and sometimes set aside time to play together.

DNF Mobile also has several types of communities, and I’d like to briefly introduce them here.

Friends and Guilds

Most games have friend and guild systems. The details vary depending on the game’s overall style, though. Since DNF Mobile is built around short, focused play sessions that you can jump into anytime and anywhere, its friend and guild systems are designed to fit that approach as well.

Each character can register up to 100 friends. Of those, you can send Friendship Points to 40 players per day and receive Friendship Points from 20 players. It is also convenient that sending and receiving Friendship Points can be handled in bulk across every character on your account.

These Friendship Points can be saved up and used to buy useful items such as Catalyst Fragments, potions, and gold, so players sometimes compare them to an emergency fund or a savings account. It is satisfying to ignore them for a while and then suddenly realize a surprisingly large amount has built up.

That is why it is a good idea to add at least 40 friends as soon as you create a character. On days when a new character is released, such as Male Striker or Male Spitfire recently, world chat can end up filled with messages from players looking for friends.

The same applies to guilds. If you run dungeons while in a guild—in other words, while spending Fatigue Points—you earn Contribution Coins based on that activity. Since those Contribution Coins can be exchanged for Catalysts, joining a guild is effectively essential.

That said, joining a guild does not mean you are forced into any specific content, and many guilds use free joining with immediate approval, so the barrier is fairly low.

Open Chat Rooms

The guild I am in also runs a separate open chat room.

Members share patch notes and developer notes posted on the official website, post useful tips, and sometimes group up for raids or Disaster Dungeons. There is also plenty of everyday conversation.

There is not much pressure because you can simply join and stay quiet if you want, although that naturally depends somewhat on the guild’s atmosphere.

In addition to that, I am also in an open chat room for a fixed party.

Players who have been with DNF Mobile for a long time usually raise a lot of characters, so to cut down on party recruitment time, they form fixed parties in advance, set a schedule, and quickly clear raids and Disaster Dungeons together.

The Official Website and Activity Badges

DNF Mobile also has a system called Adventure Group Activity Badges.

It works like an achievement system, and you can display whichever badge you want on your main profile screen.

Some types of Activity Badges can also be earned through community activity on the official website.

If you consistently write strong answers on the question board, you can be selected as an Arad Expert,

if you write strong strategy guides, you can be selected as an Arad Strategist,

and if you post impressive creative works, you can be selected as an Arad Artist.

If selected, you receive a special title and an Activity Badge, and if you are selected 3 times or more, you also receive a special aura. The official website community also sometimes gives out separate badges that can be equipped in-game.

Separate from that, your Community Rank rises based on how active you are, and the standard Danjin face icon can be upgraded all the way to Golden Danjin.

It does not provide direct in-game items, but there is still a sense of progression that makes it enjoyable in its own right, so many players now participate actively on a regular basis.

Closing

As you can see, community systems offer practical benefits while also making the game more enjoyable. If you find a community that suits you and make good use of it, it can become a helpful part of getting even more out of the game. Which community are you part of?
