After the lacking item is presented to the user, the information management means 202 gives the lacking item to the user when the value medium (jewel) of a predetermined amount has decreased.

<Effect of invention>
According to the computer program of the present embodiment, it is possible to prepare the game content necessary for the strategy of the game while preventing the user from duplicating operations such as selecting an event multiple times.

[Other embodiments]
In the above embodiment, an example is described in which the presentation means presents the missing items at the start of the quest, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the presenting means may determine the timing of presenting the missing item to the user based on the identification information of the user.

For example, if the user's level is low, the presentation means 206 presents the missing item to the user at the start of the quest, and if the user's level is high, the missing item is presented when the remaining time of the quest is less than a predetermined time. can be presented to the user.

Also, the missing items may not be presented at the start of the quest, and the missing items may be presented, for example, when the user attempts to retire the quest.

Insufficient items may also be items required for synthesizing to generate new items by combining items. For example, if the pitfall trap is an item that can be created by combining a net and a trap tool, and the pitfall trap is an item that is necessary for clearing a quest, if the user possesses only the net, the trap You can also make tools a missing item.

For example, a server device or the like cumulatively stores information about which items other users have cleared quests, and the missing items may be determined based on the cumulative information.

Also, in the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a multi-mode game has been described, but the present invention can be applied to a solo-mode game as well.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the timing (at the start of the quest) of presenting the missing item arrives, an example is described in which the missing item is unconditionally presented, but the present invention is not limited to this. can't

For example, it may be determined whether or not the missing item is presented according to the remaining time of the quest and the remaining physical strength of the boss. In this case, for example, when the remaining time of the quest is less than 10 minutes and the remaining physical strength of the boss is more than half, the missing item is presented.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example is described in which the user is presented with a missing item including at least one missing item, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a lineup of missing items may be presented to the user from which the user may select an item.

In the above embodiment, an example is described in which it is possible to purchase the missing item by consuming gems, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to purchase the missing items by charging (decreasing the value medium) with a credit card or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the user selects an item owned by the user for each quest, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a property box in which items possessed by the user are stored may be prepared.

More specifically, the inventory box stores items that the user has acquired in previous quests (obtained as a reward, collected during a quest, purchased, etc.). Then, when the user selects a quest, items necessary for the quest are automatically set as possessed items from the inventory box. Here, when the determination means determines that there is a shortage of possessed items based on the comparison result of the comparison means, the presentation means can display a screen prompting purchase of the shortage.

Further, when an enemy character to be subjugated is newly added to one of the game fields while the quest is in progress, a missing item suitable for the added enemy character may be presented. The determining means checks the contents of the items possessed by the user at a predetermined timing after the added enemy character appears, and determines the missing items. That is, the determining means may check the possessed item immediately before the progress of the game without checking the state of the possessed item at the start of the quest.
