QR Codes in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl function as a system for players to exchange in-game data, primarily focusing on Grimoire Stones and Guild Cards. This feature allows for enhanced customization and player interaction.
Key Uses of QR Codes
The primary content shared via QR codes includes:
- Grimoire Stones: This is the most prominent use. Players can generate QR codes for Grimoire Stones they possess. These stones grant characters skills, including those from other classes or even monster skills. Sharing Grimoires via QR codes enables players to acquire specific, often powerful, skills for their party members, greatly aiding in character builds and strategic planning. The quality and skills on a Grimoire Stone are preserved when shared.
- Guild Cards: Players can create and share their Guild Cards. These cards display the player's guild name, a custom message, character roster, and potentially a character that can be enlisted by the recipient as an AI-controlled guest in labyrinth explorations. It's a way to showcase your progress and assist others.
- Special Content: Occasionally, Atlus would release official QR codes for special Grimoire Stones or other minor promotional items, though player-to-player Grimoire sharing is the most common application.
Scanning and Generating QR Codes
Interacting with the QR code system is handled within the game:
To Scan a QR Code:
- Access the "Read QR Code" option, usually found at the Explorers Guild.
- The Nintendo 3DS system's outer camera will activate.
- Align the camera with the QR code you wish to scan (displayed on a screen or printed).
- Upon successful scanning, the game will process the data and add the Grimoire Stone or Guild Card to your game.
To Generate a QR Code:
- For Grimoire Stones, navigate to your Grimoire Stone list, select the stone you wish to share, and choose the option to generate a QR code.
- For Guild Cards, access your Guild Card menu and select the option to display its QR code.
- The game will then display a QR code on the 3DS screen, which can be photographed or saved for others to scan.
This system significantly extends the gameplay possibilities by allowing the community to share valuable resources and build optimized parties more easily.
