Metopia can be divided into 10 different regions with unique biomes. At the beginning, players will only have access to the easy regions. However, as the town expand, and grows bigger, the players will be able to unlock more regions to explore.
The Border of each region can be accessed by the players at any time; however, in order to adventure deeper into each regions, players will need to find the Metopia Fragment. This is usually dropped by the Guardian, but not always guaranteed.
Deeper regions have better materials, and much harder enemies. So, be prepared!!
Adventure is the core gameplay of Metopia, this is the primary way that you can gather materials to upgrade and decorate your town. You can go on the adventure solo or with your friends.
As you level-up your town, you will be able to explore deeper regions of Metopia, finding better items, and challenging harder bosses.

Initially, players have access to the Shoreline, Plateau, and Forest; as players progress and level-up the town, they will unlock more difficult regions with harsh environments like Marsh, Jungle, Desert and Valley. In the late game, players will be unlocking the most difficult regions, Volcano, Cave, and Tundra.
Each region is unique yet interconnected, this means that each region will have their own set of region-specific materials; as well as items that exists in multiple regions. However, this also means that during an adventure, you may encounter creatures from another habitant. Fortunately, this cross-habitant behavior only appears in the deeper layers of the region.

Each region is divided into 5 layers of difficulty, intrinsically identified as the level of difficulty of the region - Border, Outer, Inner, Depth and Core. Players can freely explore and adventure the border of any regions; however, in order to progress into a deeper region, you will need to obtain corresponding Metopia Fragment to temporarily open an opening in the barriers.

Metopia fragment is a powerful crystal that can temporarily break a portal and granting adventurers access to deeper layer of the region, and of course, wealth. The fragments can only be obtained by defeating the region's Guardian, and it can drop fragment of the same layer, or the next layer.
Not all fragments are the same, each Metopia Fragment is imbued with different amount of power. Hence, can only maintain an opening for fixed amount of people. So far, we have discovered fragment for 2, 3, 4, and rarely 6. This number indicates the maximum number of adventurers can go through the portal. Most certainly that you can try to challenge a 6 adventurer fragment by yourself; but, safety is not guaranteed.
If your health reaches zero during an adventure, you will be fainted on the ground, and await helps from your teammates. Your teammate can help you up by using First Aid skill on you. Once you are up, your health will be at 10%.
In an unfortunate event that the entire team fails the adventure and are all fainted on the ground. There are couple items that you can use to get back up and continue to adventure:
The Phoenix Elixir
Grace of Phoenix
Phoenix Blessing
However, if the team does not have a method to get back up; they will unfortunately have to forfeit the adventure, and return to the town. Everything found during the adventure will be lost.
Everything you have collected during an adventure will be temporarily put in a stash box. This stash box is available for each player to claim once the boss is defeated. If players did not successfully defeat the boss, all rewards and loots are lost.
It's ALL or NOTHING.
When player enters an adventure, they will be transported to a procedurally generated map; this is a unique instance of the map that cannot be re-entered. It would be crucial for players to be prepared for the adventure in advance.
