How to fix encounters not spawning
If you’re stuck on completing encounters, these steps resolve most issues:
- Advance time and revisit the location, especially at night
- Fully exit the area or relog, then return
- Double-check progress under Quest → Encounter, not other quest tabs
- Confirm story prerequisites like Chapter 1 completion
- For Moonveil, confirm Celestial Seize was actually successful
