Monster Research

The Monster Research System is a permanent character progression feature inspired by Ragnarok Origin. As you defeat monsters throughout the world, you unlock research milestones for each monster. Claiming these milestones grants Research EXP, allowing you to increase your Monster Research Level and permanently improve your character's stats.
