Quick Training Path

Welcome to the Vault
The MycoDex is a living collection game built around Vault-Specimens, starter signals, incubation, currencies, battles, showcases, learning paths, cloning, and marketplace activity. This page keeps the first step simple.
Unlock
Training and Vault Keys can unlock specimens, incubation events, currencies, and MycoDex rewards.
Collect
Each Vault-Specimen can have its own stats, traits, quirks, rarity, size, and collection identity.
Play
Battle, showcase, explore, clone, trade, and build toward rarer shelves once the basics feel familiar.
Starter-Safe Signal Preview
This preview is intentionally limited to the easiest entry-level signals. Bigger chase groups are kept out of this beginner preview so new Myco-Patrons can learn the system without skipping straight to the heavy shelves.

How Training Works
Training is your first tiny mission. It teaches the basic loop, grants one beginner-friendly starter, and introduces incubation.
Your First Mission
- Learn the basics. Vault-Specimens are collectible creatures and entities unlocked through training, Vault Keys, capsules, events, and missions.
- Receive a random starter signal. Training grants one beginner-friendly Vault-Specimen from the entry-level pool.
- Watch it stabilize. Your starter enters a short one-minute incubation so you can see how reservoir countdowns work.
- Claim your specimen. Once stabilized, it joins My MycoDex and becomes part of your collection.
- Choose your next path. Collect, showcase, battle, explore discovery missions, or redeem more Vault Keys.
One-Minute Incubation
Training introduces incubation in the safest way possible. A short starter countdown teaches you that some specimen signals need time before they fully stabilize.
Your starter specimen enters the reservoir, stabilizes for one minute, then becomes claimable. This helps you understand incubation before redeeming bigger packs or rarer codes.
What You Need to Know Before You Play
This is the quick version. The full MycoDex Guide goes deeper, but these basics are enough to start.
Begin Crash Course
Start your first MycoDex training sequence. When completed for the first time, you receive one random beginner-friendly Vault-Specimen signal and begin the starter stabilization process.
