Explorer's Shores

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Explorer's Shores are mysterious locations in Builders 2 filled with materials.

Overview[edit]

These islands are strange places with some peculiarities:

  • Each island is based on a certain biome, and contains blocks and materials related to the biome.
  • The game cannot be saved while in an Explorer's shore.
  • Each island is procedurally generated each time the player embarks towards one of them. Due to this, it's not wise to build on them.
  • Each island has two lists of blocks, items and/or animals that the player must find. Upon doing so, the builder unlocks the ability to use a material with no limits for free while crafting.
  • Each island always generates a "Builder's Best" build. There, players can scout human npcs, but only one per visit to the island.
  • There is always a set number of minibosses -how many depend on the island-, who might drop rare loot and unlock new recipes upon being defeated.

While in multiplayer it's possible to visit them, and visitors can help fill in the unlimited material lists.

There are nine diffferent islands in the base game, plus an additional island from the Hotto DLC, and another from the Aquarium DLC.
