The Normal Mode within the Arcade System offers challenging gameplay accessible to players using starter-level gear. This mode is primarily sought after by those aiming to obtain the Infernal Cape upon successful completion.
The Infernal Cape is a hybrid cape. Players engaging in Normal Mode also earn Arcade Tokens during the arcade minigame.
In Normal Mode, players receive one Arcade Token per wave number they complete, accumulating tokens progressively as they advance through the waves.
For clarification, consider the following illustration:
- Wave 1: Yields 1 token.
- Wave 2: Results in the acquisition of 1 token plus 2 more, totaling 3 tokens.
- Wave 3: Yields 1 token, in addition to the 3 previously earned tokens, resulting in a total of 6 tokens, and so forth.
The Arcade's wave system is categorized into several sections, each awarding bonus tokens upon successful completion:
- Beginner Waves (Waves 1-20).
- Experienced Waves (Waves 21-30).
- Advanced Waves (Waves 31-40).
- Dream Waves (Waves 41-50).
These distinct sections provide a structured progression path and bonus tokens, contributing to the comprehensive reward system of Normal Mode gameplay.
