FOREVER:NEON // ARG MANUAL // OPTIONAL PRACTICE COURSE

Training Operations

Seven permanent practice operations teach the main skills used by the Book 1 ARG. Training is optional. You may ignore this page completely and enter active operations through the book.

PRACTICE OPEN // SIGN IN TO FILE LOOSH63 LOOSH AVAILABLE
Training teaches skills. LIVE establishes history. Each operation pays its listed LOOSH amount once to a registered URP. Replays remain available but pay no additional LOOSH. Training completion never creates a LIVE receipt, faction result, Orange Star fragment, Book 1 completion credit, or other canonical progression. Return to the ARG Manual.

Course rules: 7 operations, 63 LOOSH maximum, one reward per operation per registered URP. Anonymous practice remains available. Hints and accessibility assists do not reduce the reward. The other original rehearsal missions are no longer part of this permanent course; their mechanics and assets are reserved for active ARG development with distinct LIVE puzzle solutions.
