Overview
Nameless City Residential District Investigation is a Nameless City Exploration Quest, in which you collect Exploration Points by defeating Enemies, completing Trials, and collecting Unlock Sign.
The map is comprised of 3 unique sectors, 2 currently available with the 3rd one releasing in a future update.

Exploration Points 
are earned through defeating by defeating Enemies, completing Trials, and collecting Unlock Sign. They are used to open Chests.
You will lose 50% of your current Exploration Points if you are incapacitated, because of this you want to maintain a balance of opening Chests and collectiong Exploration Points.
Enemies drop differing amounts of Exploration Points based on their Enemy Cost. Additionally Elite and Silver Enemies drop x2 Exploration Points, with Golden Enemies dropping x10 Exploration Points.

Exploration Point Rate Up
An Exploration Point Rate Up modifier will be applied after a set amount of time has elapsed in the quest, this only applies to defeated Enemies, not Trials or collected Unlock Sign, this makes defeating enemies a more efficient method of Exploration Points during the higher multipliers.

Exploration Point Debuff
As you obtain more points you'll receive a Damage Taken Debuff, this will multiply the damage you take based on the level of the debuff, with the first debuff being applied at 1,500 Exploration Points.
This debuff can be removed by reducing your Exploration Points, this can be done by spending Exploration Points by opening Chests or by being incapacitated.
