#### Acquiring a Microphone <a href="#id-1.-acquiring-a-microphone" id="id-1.-acquiring-a-microphone"></a>

* To use voice chat in the General Channel, you must purchase a microphone item from Miharu, the NPC at the Tool Shop.
* However, in the Party Channel, voice chat is available without a microphone item.

**\[When You Have a Microphone Item]**

* Voice transmission range: within a 30m radius. Voices outside this range will be attenuated (volume will gradually decrease).

**\[For Party Channel]**

* Voice chat is available between party members without a microphone item.
* You can use voice chat from anywhere as long as you're in the same party.\
  ※ However, voice chat may be restricted if you're in different instances.
