Like all monster encounters in the main game, all villages, shops, Arenas and Armories will be destroyed for the encounter's time. Monsters will arrive at a specific point on the world map (same as before in the main campaign). When the world map is cleared of monster skirmishes, another set three locations will become infested. This will occur indefinitely, and players may always visit the Tower of Valni and Lagdou Ruins at any time. Even if the Secret Shops were never entered in the main story, they can still be visited from the map. The Member card still has to be in a unit's inventory, however.
