Embarking on your journey through the enchanting Ligneus Region in *Atelier Yumia* with Yumia and her friends, you'll soon discover the joy of setting up camp to bond with your companions. However, figuring out where and when to establish your camp can be a bit tricky. Let's dive into how you can make the most of camping in *Atelier Yumia*.
Unlocking the ability to craft Camping Sets is a breeze once you've cleared the manabound Dux Lighthouse, the first such area Yumia tackles in the story. After you've built a base on the newly uncovered land, make your way back to the Ligneus Survey Base and have a chat with Erhard to unlock the camping feature.
To craft a Camping Set, you'll need the following materials, which are easily found around the Ligneus Survey Base:
You can gather Water from wells scattered throughout the region or by harvesting plants near riverbanks, which also yield fiber. Charcoal is a byproduct of mining ore. Once you've collected these materials, head to the Simple Synthesis menu and ensure you have a 4×4 space available to craft your Camping Set. If there's no room, your set will be sent to your stash at the Atelier or one of your bases.
With your Camping Set ready, you can pitch your tent almost anywhere there's a clear, open space. Avoid narrow cliffs and dense forests; instead, look for more open areas. There are several designated campsites like the River Campsite near the Ligneus Survey Base where you can set up a little base and enjoy camping.
If you've got a Camping Set in your Exploration Bag, check the radial menu. If the Camping option in the bottom right corner is highlighted, you're good to camp in that spot. If it's greyed out, you'll need to find another location.
Camping isn't just about resting; it's your only chance to cook the delicious meals you've gathered while exploring. It's crucial to find a spot to camp before tackling a tough boss or venturing into a manabound area, especially on higher difficulty levels.
Moreover, camping offers a unique opportunity to deepen your connections with your companions. You'll enjoy special dialogue that, while not crucial to the main storyline, helps you understand your friends better and enriches your journey.
And that's everything you need to know about camping in *Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land*. Enjoy your adventures and happy camping!
