Restoring Irinid's Ancient Artifact

	Name	Restoring Irinid's Ancient Artifact	NPC	Arenen, Voight
	Information	You will be running two RP dungeons over the course of this quest. Both RPs are extremely similar, the latter being done with a partner. If your partner has the quest, it will also be completed. All mobs will multi-aggro. Extra caution is advised since there are no Phoenix Feathers to revive the fallen member during the Voight and Ilsa RP. You may obtain them from the mobs found inside.
Instruction	Talk to Voight in Cor to receive the Partially Restored Irinid's Ancient Artifact. Talk to Arenen in Calida Exploration Camp to receive Arenen's Engagement Ring. Drop the ring at Maiz Prairie Ruins in the Rano region to start a solo Role Play quest. The dungeon is Maiz Normal. Arenen possesses Smash, Defense, Counterattack, and Windmill. Although Arenen has an Ancient Taming Cane and 10 bait, he has no skill with it. He can gain the Taming Wild Animals at Novice by wielding the cane, though it is very ineffective. Arenen has a Red Sunrise in his inventory. Using it will increase his HP by 21, Strength by 10, and Luck by 7 while decreasing his Dexterity and Intelligence by 5. Arenen does has 3 AP, which is useful for ranking Sword Mastery to rank D. Arenen may level up at least once while inside the RP Dungeon. It is possible to deal 6 normal hits with his dual Hooked Cutlass, which can be crucial for finishing the mobs in a single combo. There is no boss at the end chamber; just a cutscene. Talk to Voight to receive Ilsa's Handkerchief (2x2). Drop the handkerchief at Maiz Prairie Ruins to enter Voight's RP quest. It requires 2 people. You play as Ilsa and your partymate plays as Voight. The dungeon is the same difficulty as before, but from Voight and Ilsa's perspective. Ilsa's only offensive skill is Rank 9 Lightning Bolt while Voight attacks with Rank 7 Combat Mastery, Rank 5 Critical Hit, Rank 9 Smash, Rank 6 Counterattack, Rank 5 Windmill, and Rank B Charge. The player playing as Voight must do most, if not, all of the fighting. Ilsa also has rank Novice Combat Mastery which may be ranked to F for slightly more HP. Ilsa can help primarily by getting the monster's attention and then Playing Dead to take some heat off of Voight, especially in the multi-aggro situations. It is possible for Ilsa to learn Counterattack by simply getting countered, but may be more trouble than its worth. Neither characters have Phoenix Feathers, so incapacitation can be quite critical. The only way to obtain the feathers is by monster drops. Voight comes with a BnR and a Kiss on the Lips. The BnR can increase Voight's HP by 25, Strength by 15, and Luck by 10 while decreasing his Dexterity and Intelligence by 6. The Kiss on the Lips can increase Voight's HP by 22, Strength by 13, and Luck by 9 while decreasing his Dexterity and Intelligence by 4. The food effects will not stack. Either use one or the other. Voight may level up at least once while Ilsa may level up several times. Talk to Arenen to receive Rain Maker Crystal. Clear the quest (22,000 EXP). Wait for the next one. You will receive a Wings of the Blue Goddess to Cor Village upon completion.

Rain Maker - Irinid

	Name	Rain Master - Irinid	NPC	Kousai
	Information	You will be running a special version of the Longa Desert Ruins. The ruins is comprised of mobs from the Gem Arrow Longa Ruins (Topaz, Amethyst, and Emerald). You are allowed to bring a party and anyone with the quest will complete it at the same time you do.
Instruction	Talk to Kousai in Cor and he will teach you the Rain Casting skill and exchange the Rain Maker Crystal for 15 Water Crystals, 5 Wind Crystals, and 5 Clay Crystals. Use the skill once. Ranking the skill to F is not required. You are not given a Cylinder to perform the action. Talk to Kousai again. Drop the Rain Maker Arrow onto the altar at Longa Desert Ruins in Connous. You may bring a party to complete this quest. Note: Kousai will say that this dungeon can only be performed on Samhain (Saturday), but this rule no longer exists. The dungeon has 3 floors, and each floor has spawns coordinating with one of the three gem dungeons, Emerald, Topaz and Amethyst. The first floor consists of Longa Topaz spawns. The second floor consists of Longa Amethyst spawns. The third floor consists of Longa Emerald spawns. The boss is "Possessed Cai." Cais AI is similar to Shadow Alchemists, making it fairly easy to defeat him. If Cai is not killed fast enough, he will say "I am immortal..." and level up, fully restoring all his HP. Cai takes a lot less knockback from Alchemy attacks than normal monsters and recovers quicker. Note: For some reason, the party leader will be forcibly removed from the dungeon prior to defeating Cai, but the party members will remain. Every party member who is currently doing the quest will finish their quest on completion of the dungeon. Clear the quest (16,500 EXP). Wait for the next one. Completion of this quest will reward you with a Wings of the Blue Goddess to Tara Stonehenge.

Pencast's Call

	Name	Pencast's Call	NPC	Pencast
	Information	If you fail or exit the mission, you will automatically receive it. If you gave up the mission, talk to Pencast again to receive it.
Instruction	Talk to Pencast to receive the Shadow Mission Fomor Mata. The mission is solo. You must defeat a few sets of enemies leading from the north gate of Tara to the Jousting arena. Watch the cutscene. You will be introduced to Mata, and you must beat him in a Joust. If you fail, you must manually quit and restart the entire mission. For more information on Jousting, see the Jousting page. After you win, you must defeat Mata in combat. As a Dark Commander, he behaves very much like a Shadow Commander. You may defeat him in a similar manner to any Shadow/Dark Commander. Clear the quest (22,000 EXP) and wait for the next one.

Fight for Courcle's Heart

	Name	Fight for Courcle's Heart	NPC	Padan
	Information	You may bring a party of 8 on this Shadow Mission. Extra Caution is advised due to the amount of spawns found in each area. Like previous quests, anyone on this quest will also fulfill the requirement necessary to move on into the next quest.
Instruction	Talk to Padan to receive the Shadow Mission Assist the Shadow Realm Expeditionary Force. You may bring up to 7 other players to assist you. You will battle numerous waves of monsters shielded by a row of Barrier Spikes until you reach the center, where a cutscene is presented. Monsters include Shadow Alchemist, Bone Fighter, Bone Archer, Bone Lancer, Bronze Bone Fighter, Bronze Bone Archer, Bronze Bone Lancer, Silver Bone Fighter, Silver Bone Archer, Silver Bone Lancer, Gold Bone Fighter, Gold Bone Archer, Gold Bone Lancer, and Shadow Ghosts. When you reach the center, numerous amounts of monsters will appear. Fortunately, you are aided by Andras, Karpfen, Granat, and their troops. If Andras, Karpfen, or Granat is killed, the mission fails. If one entire platoon (minus the leader) is killed, the mission fails as well. After the battle, the mission will clear, and a cutscene is presented. Clear the quest (22,000 EXP) and wait for the next quest.

Courcle's Heart

	Name	Courcle's Heart	NPC	Padan
	Information	You will enter a plain battlefield with no obstacles and limited movement. Having a mount is advised due to the speed boost the enemy has from Demigod. You must use Life Drain in order to move on into the second half of the battle. Remove any normal Life Drain Crystals (i.e. the Green ones) you have in both your Alchemy bag and General Inventory.
Instruction	Talk to Padan to receive the Shadow Mission Light and Darkness. There will be a long cutscene after which you'll be sent to the Soul Stream. Upon entering the mission a cutscene will occur. After the cutscene, you will face yours (or the RA's) Doppelganger in this part. Doppelganger's AI is similar to Shadow Alchemists. However, it has Advanced Heavy Stander, which may be a problem as it allows it to spam its attacks. The Doppelganger also possesses Reflective Damage, dealing 25% of the damage inflicted on it back to its attacker, though the Doppelganger still takes full damage (e.g. If you hit it 600 damage, it will take 600 damage, and you will take 150 damage). Make sure to keep your health at a reasonable level. If the reflected damage is higher than your current HP, you will be put into deadly status instead of being Knocked Unconscious. If you happen to become unconscious, you may resurrect yourself using Morrighan's Protection, up to 3 times. Morrighan's Protection instantly revives the player on the spot, complete with blessings and full recovery. If you have used up all 3, restarting the mission will restore them. This method and that of Advanced Phoenix Feathers (provided you are not accompanied by a Royal Alchemist) are the only way to resurrect in this mission. Notice: The Morrighan's Protection option is only available to the person with the quest, not to any assisting Royal Alchemist. Your Doppelganger uses Water Cannon, Wind Blast, Flame Burst, Awakening of Light, Spear of Light, and Fury of Light. Attempt to dodge all these attacks. A fast mount is useful, but not necessary since most skills may be dodged by circling the stage. Be aware of your distance to the Doppelganger, however, since it receives a speed boost from Awakening of Light. Evasion is strongly recommended, at least Rank 9 due to the double roll. The Doppelganger has regeneration from Awakening of Light, effectively rendering all attacks worthless. Its damage reflection also means you are doing more harm to yourself than to it. Even if you somehow manage to outdamage its regeneration, it is impossible to kill the Doppelganger. The objective is to remove your Doppelganger's Awakening of Light using Life Drain on it after using Elatha's Music Box. Use Elatha's Music Box once you see your Doppelganger using Taunt, which is always right after a Fury of Light. An easier way to use the Music Box is to hold the left ctrl key and click the music box in your inventory. If you have skipped Generation 9 through Duncan, you will not be given Life Drain for the final battle. Once successful, the Doppelganger will appear to be agonized in pain. Immediately use Life Drain before the Doppelganger recovers. This part may therefore be more difficult with low-ranked Life Drain, due to their longer channeling times. Be sure your Life Drain skill is on a skill hotkey. The Life Drain Crystals are unusable, so be sure to have the proper Alchemy Crystals. You must be healed to full health by this use of Life Drain in order to complete the mission. If successful, Generation 10 will be over. For Royal Alchemists: You will be transported alone to part two of the mission where you will face another Doppelganger. However, you may exit the mission and still obtain the Royal Alchemist Points. Once you have successfully used Life Drain, you'll have cleared Generation 10 and be awarded with the Demigod skills at rank F: Awakening of Light Fury of Light Spear of Light Manually complete the quest to claim the EXP (33,000 EXP). Fury of Light and Spear of Light become unusable until one clicks "complete".
