Vocal, looks and soul levels
During the quest, Ursula's skills as a performer, represented by vocal, looks and soul, will have to be leveled up. To this end, Ursula must be sent on specific "Lesson" Merc Missions which reward stamps of the specific skill the lesson focuses on. As an example, Soul Lesson 1 will reward a Soul Stamp, but no Vocal or Looks Stamp. After receiving a set amount of stamps in a skill, it will level up, granting higher level lesson missions and possibly unlocking event Merc Missions. Some of the latter can also yield stamps for all three skills.

Vocal, looks and soul levels also increase the number of Ursula's fans. As such, the level of all three skills are added together to then multiply the base amounts of fans gained through lesson and event Merc Missions.

The amount of stamps required to level a skill is the same for all three skills:

Fans
As the quest progresses, Ursula will gain fans. To finish the quest, Ursula will need to have gained a total of 5,000 fans. Fans are gained the first time a lesson or event Merc Mission is completed, with repeated completion of the former having no effect on the number of fans. Lesson missions always reward 3 fans while event missions can reward either 12 or 16 fans depending on the mission.

The number of fans gained through Merc Missions is then multiplied by Ursula's vocal, looks and soul levels, added together, to give the total number of her fans. If event Merc Missions that give 12 fans are called minor events and missions that give 16 fans are called major events, the formula is:

Number of fans = (number of lessons x 3 + number of minor events x 12 + number of major events x 16) x (vocal level + looks level + soul level)

Results
"The concert is a success. Ursula gives a stellar performance in front of a packed audience."
