Lumas
Lumas are companions you can raise and the focus of the game. They can help you look for treasures and give you Luma Energy daily, which is essential to level up your profession. You can collect many Lumas on the Island, but you must complete the Ancient Farm Temple to find your first. The temple is near the entrance to the homestead. Completing the run will involve solving puzzles, fighting off monsters, and avoiding traps. Once you reach the end of the temple, you’ll find a treasure chest containing a Luma Egg.
After acquiring your first Luma Egg, you’ll need an Incubator. They can be found at the blue and white shop that sells blueprints. After crafting the Incubator, you need Luma Life and Spirit. Once you have all the items, combine the Luma Life and Spirit in the Incubator and wait for the egg to hatch your first Luma.
