🎓 Learn Tab: Describe Sounds (How It Works)

Learn is where you describe what you hear on the Radio — and the game rewards you for it.

Your descriptions help us collect real “sound world” data and train Reverie Field’s future audio model: better recognition, smarter lore responses, and stronger sound-based systems over time.

Last updated: 2025-12-25 (server snapshot).

What you do in Learn

While you are 🎧 listening, you can write a short description of the sound you hear and press Send Description.

  • You get 🧩 Relic Fragments (always, if your submission is accepted).
  • If you have ⛏ Mining Pass, you also get a chance to earn SONO.
  • With the right talents, Learn can also roll Sonic Relics (and sometimes a 🎒 duplicate).
  • You also get an optional AI “interpretation” reply (flavor + guidance, with a daily cap).

Important: Learn is designed to reward real participation, not spam. That’s why it has daily limits and a cooldown timer between submissions.

How to use Learn in the UI (step-by-step)

1) Activate Learn

  • Start 🎧 listening in the Radio.
  • Open the Learn tab.
  • If you’re not listening, the UI can stay locked (button disabled + reminder message).

2) Choose reward destination (SONO only)

In Learn, you can pick where SONO should go if SONO mining succeeds:

  • Off-chain (🛒 store balance) — credited to your in-game wallet.
  • On-chain — minted to your linked wallet.

This setting only matters if you have ⛏ Mining Pass and you roll a successful SONO reward.

3) Write your description

  • Write what you hear in the text box.
  • Keep it short and clear — max length is 256 characters.
  • Press Send Description.

4) Read results

  • You’ll see a confirmation message, and your remaining daily attempts update.
  • 🧩 fragments are added instantly and your UI updates.
  • If SONO drops, you’ll get a popup showing how much you earned and where it went.
  • If a relic drops, you’ll see a relic popup (and maybe a duplicate popup).
  • AI response appears below (if you haven’t hit the daily AI limit).

Daily limit + cooldown

Learn uses two protections:

  • Daily limit — you can only submit a certain number of descriptions per day.
  • Cooldown timer — you must wait between submissions.

In the UI you can always see: Daily Descriptions Left and Time Until Next Description.

Base values (no statuses, no talents)

  • Daily submissions: 5
  • Cooldown: 60 minutes

Why it exists: Learn is a “quality input” feature. Cooldowns help keep the dataset readable and the economy fair.

Status upgrades that change Learn

⛏ Mining Pass (turns on SONO mining)

  • +5 daily submissions (so 10 total before other bonuses).
  • Unlocks a base SONO reward chance of 2.5%.
  • When it succeeds, you earn a random amount of SONO (1–125, then talent bonuses can increase it).

🌌 Sonic Explorer Status (makes Learn faster + richer)

  • +5 more daily submissions (so +10 total from both statuses).
  • Boosts SONO chance by +50% (2.5% → 3.75% before talent bonuses).
  • Changes the base cooldown to ~15 minutes (then talents can reduce it further).
  • Boosts base 🧩 fragments per description (see below).

Talents that affect Learn

🧸 Sound Interpreter (the main Learn talent)

Sound Interpreter scales the Learn loop in four ways:

  • Daily submissions: +1 per talent level.
  • 🧩 fragments per description: +1 per talent level.
  • Cooldown reduction:
    • without 🌌 Explorer: cooldown reduces by 3 minutes per level (down to a 60s minimum).
    • with 🌌 Explorer: cooldown reduces by ~1.4 minutes per level (down to a 60s minimum).
  • SONO chance: +0.5% per level (only matters if ⛏ Mining Pass is active).

In plain words: Sound Interpreter makes Learn feel “alive” — more attempts, more fragments, and shorter waits.

🧪 Token Alchemist (bigger SONO payouts when SONO succeeds)

Token Alchemist does not increase your SONO chance. It increases the amount when SONO mining succeeds.

  • Level 1 → +5%
  • Level 2 → +7%
  • Level 3 → +9%
  • Level 4 → +11%
  • Level 5 → +15%
  • Level 6 → +18%
  • Level 7 → +21%
  • Level 8 → +24%
  • Level 9 → +27%
  • Level 10 → +30%

🧩 Fragment rewards (always)

Every accepted description grants 🧩 fragments. The total is:

  • Base fragments:
    • without 🌌 Explorer: +1
    • with 🌌 Explorer: +3
  • + Sound Interpreter bonus: +1 per 🧸 level (always added on top)

Example: if you have 🌌 Explorer and 🧸 Sound Interpreter 6, you get 3 + 6 = 9 🧩 fragments per accepted description.

🪙 SONO rewards (only if you have ⛏ Mining Pass)

If you have ⛏ Mining Pass, every accepted description rolls a SONO chance.

  • Base chance: 2.5%
  • With 🌌 Explorer: 2.5% × 1.5 = 3.75%
  • With 🧸 Sound Interpreter: +0.5% per level (added on top)
  • Amount on success: 1–125 SONO, then 🧪 Token Alchemist can increase it

Reward destination tip:
If you pick On-chain but you don’t have a linked wallet, the game can still accept your description and grant 🧩 fragments — but SONO won’t be minted until you connect a wallet. If you want guaranteed usability, choose Off-chain (🛒 store balance).

Relic generation from Learn (late-game synergy)

Learn can also generate a Sonic Relic, but it’s intentionally gated behind a synergy build.

  • Requirements: 🧸 Sound Interpreter ≥ 10 AND 🎭 Task Artisan ≥ 10
  • If a relic is generated, it will appear as a popup and be added to your collection.
  • If you also have 🎒 Field Recordist Bag ≥ 10, there is a chance to duplicate the generated relic.
Why is it gated?

Because Learn is already a strong economy + data feature. Relic generation is meant to be a “build reward” for players who invested in the right long-term talents.

AI response (what it is, and why it can be limited)

After a successful submission, the game can display an AI response to your description. This response is mainly:

  • Flavor (worldbuilding / interpretation)
  • Light guidance (help you notice patterns and engage with the sound world)

AI responses have a daily cap. If you hit it, you’ll see a warning message and can continue submitting descriptions (you still get 🧩 fragments and other rewards).

What makes a “good” description

The best descriptions are short, specific, and structured.

  • Source: wind / voices / traffic / birds / machinery
  • Texture: hissy / crunchy / smooth / metallic / muffled
  • Motion: approaching / fading / looping / pulsing
  • Space: indoor / open field / tunnel / distant / close
  • Mood: calm / tense / eerie / joyful

One small rule: please avoid personal data. Don’t write real addresses, phone numbers, or anything sensitive. Describe the sound — not private information.

Quick “clean Learn session” checklist

  • Be 🎧 listening before you try to submit.
  • Watch the Time Until Next Description timer.
  • Keep descriptions under 256 characters.
  • Pick the right reward destination (🛒 off-chain vs on-chain).
  • If you want the “full Learn build”: aim for 🧸 10 + 🎭 10, then 🎒 10 for duplicates.
