Island’s Heart
Island’s Heart are no longer required to travel to the Procyon Sea like it was in Season 1. That being said, it is still highly useful to get 20 Island’s Heart, as this grants a potion that gives +6 Skill Points.
Knowing this, there is a short term benefit in traveling to Island’s Heart that are especially challenging to complete near an early server launch, such as Slime Island or Estella. Note that as time passes from a server launch, these islands will be more accessible, especially at ‘dead hours’ of the server, so it’s not pertinent. Progress carries over from Season 1.
After 20 Island’s Heart, the next very useful reward is at 50 Island’s Heart, which provides the Heroic Guardian Rune, which when equipped on a skill provides an 8% Max HP Shield while the skill’s casting animation is in effect.
Island’s Heart grants the Compass special equipment which bestows passive bonuses related to sea navigation and island travel.
Adventure Journal & Mark of Ignea (New)
Adventure Journal will be expensive early on. While you’re trying to rush to 50 and get your most important daily activities out of the way, it should be neglected and returned to later. It is highly time-consuming and reaching 100% at a server launch on any continent won’t be very conducive.
Since Season 1, the Adventure Journal rewards have been reinitialized. You’ll find at most of the continent 80% rewards is now the former 100% Artifact affinity item reward. 90% is usually an Expedition Territory ornament that serves as both decoration as well as passive bonuses for your Expedition Territory when equipped to your manor. 100% is always a Mark of Ignea now, a collectible item with powerful rewards. Progress carries over from Season 1. 
The best rewards require 5, 8, and 9 Marks of Ignea. These are a powerful rune, skill points, and a Key of Nonfrost. You will come back to them over time and reach 80% on continents that grant Artifact affinity items to help you push affinity. Affinity items should be carefully allocated depending on what collections you want to pursue.
- They can be used to rush 100% on a continent to collect the Mark of Ignea sooner.
- They can be used on certain NPCs whose rewards are important for collections as well, such as Sasha in Arthetine for a Giant’s Heart.
