The talk with Goven was filled with lots of valuable information about the new world. For example, John learned that there would be a massive spawning of resources inside the new zone.
This was largely dependent on luck, but there was a chance for extremely valuable mines to appear, mine crystals of high mana density, rare ores like Mithril or Adamantite, and rare herbs that could be used in alchemy.
Furthermore, Goven explained the mechanics of zone expansion. "If any members of your race manage to clear another pocket trial while your protection period is active, that new zone will merge with your existing one.
It expands the physical size, increases the resources, and even slightly increases the protection period. This chain can continue until your race hits a ten-zone count."
Once a race reached that ten-zone threshold, the rules shifted. New pocket trials would start appearing at a significant distance from the main zone.
