  • Adventure Seal Collecting Guide

    This is a good list. My top seven for the most Newbie Friendly are:

    1. Weiss at Shyllien Nature Reserve gives you a daily Magic Craft part-time job. You'll be tasked with making one of three low-level magic craft items. Not only is it easy to get the Magic Craft skill (just click on the cauldron near Weiss and, boom), but this will also allow you to level Magic Craft a bit, which adds to your Intelligence stat.

    2. Hector at Hillwen Mine gives you a daily Hillwen Engineering part-time job. Just like with Weiss, you are tasked with making one of three low-level items. Clicking on the work bench automatically gives you the skill you need, and leveling Hillwen Engineering also helps build your intelligence stat.

    3. Gordon at Emain Macha gives you a daily cooking quest. Basically, just cook any food at 3-star quality or higher for him. The easiest food for this quest is Baked Potato because making a 4 or 5-star baked potato is basically a piece of cake. Just build up Cooking to rank F, buy a pot and ladle at the general store, dig up some potatoes (it's good to stockpile a stack of 5-10 for this), buy some salt or pepper, and you're good to go. When cooking your potato, add potato up to the end of the last "d" in the word "add" on the final "add" button on the cooking window, then fill the rest of the bar with either salt or pepper, and you're basically guaranteed a baked potato with a high enough star ranking to finish the quest.

    4. Macaulay in Emain Macha gives a daily part-time job that involves the Handicraft skill. Just buy a Handicraft kit at the general store and learn the skill by reading the book "The World of Handicrafts", which you can get from the bookshop in Dunbarton for just 1000 gold. You need to have the skill learned and a handicraft kit to do the job, but it's really easy. (Pro tip: The Handicraft skill is actually very good for making easy early-game money. Just have the skill, the kit, and a gathering axe. Then, chop a bunch of firewood from some trees and make rolling pins. Rolling Pins sell for 256 gold each at any NPC shop, so that's basically free money right there! Plus, you build a skill that adds to your Dexterity stat too!)

    5. Manolin at Port Cobh gives you a fetch quest for a Striped Marlin. You can fish one up right on the pier in town, or buy one from another player in the auction tab. Either way, it's a pretty easy quest. Plus, the Fishing skill gives you Will, Dexterity, Strength, and Stamina when you level it, so it's not a bad idea to do a little here and there. My big tip is to aim to keep the fish's nose as close to the center of the red box as possible to ensure a catch. Manolin also gives you a shark as a reward along with the adventure seal. Open the shark up and you have a chance to get either food waste or a wood board. Hang on to the wood boards, because they're used for one of the quests to rank your Campfire skill, plus they sell for a lot on the auction board too.

    6. Madoc at Port Cobh gives you a fetch quest for five Large Nails. Easiest way to get these is to go around punching signs.

    7. Dr. Lambert at the big ruins in the Rano Desert gives you a quest to go fetch a whole bunch of stuff for him from three different NPC's. I recommend doing this one last, because it requires you to hop continents a couple of times.

    I've had no problems consistently completing these on fresh, low-level characters with barely any combat ability. I recommend doing the daily dungeon only if it's one that your character can handle without much trouble. For instance, if your character, even at level 123 after completing a memoir, is still seeing the Black Grizzlies near Tara as Boss, stick to Alby and Ciar unless you've got a good friend or two to back you up in the other dungeons. If the Tara Grizzles are Strong or Even with you, then you can move up to running Math and Rabbie. Once you're strong enough to duke it out with the enemies around Black Beach on Belvast solo, then you can dip your tootsies into Barri, Coil, and (depending on your skill set, crew, and preparation) Fiodh. If you have extra AP and cumulative levels from spamming Memoirs to build an AP cushion for training, do not use the NPC dungeon recommendations as a guide, because I've found that they're based on your cumulative level, not your actual CP.

    Happy Seal Hunting!

  • Nexon pls tone down the amount of concurent events

    Yeah, I straight-up ignored most of the Master Plan activities over the summer, because there were other things I wanted to do with my playtime. However, when there are inventory bags or pets or interesting outfits on offer, an event is kind of hard to resist...especially when it's a pet or inventory because inventory space is at a premium in this game and the pets are just cool. Too many events with desirable prizes going on at the same time is the real frustrating thing, especially when school is in and you have time-intensive assignments to have to complete as a function of your major (What's my major? Graphic Frigging Design. You think majoring in an arts field is easy? No. It's just as work-intensive as something like Computer Science, Engineering, or Biology! Business? Public Relations? Economics? Those are easy majors for lazy slackers!).

    I'd rather have hunger be more meaningful first.

    Not have it restore upon each level up, for one.

    Hunger should tick down as a percentage of your character's total Stamina instead of at a fixed rate of 1 point per 100 seconds and when your fullness is really low, it should give the player a debuff that reduces their Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Will by 25% until they eat something really filling. That way, eating is more relevant for higher-level players, especially those who pride themselves on their DPS. Right now, if your Stamina is really high, it takes forever for your character to get hungry, and getting hungry doesn't really pose that much of a threat for lower-level characters either because of how quickly you can level up from quests and dungeons. The increased Stamina usage and hit to max Stamina just aren't enough on their own to make people worried about Hunger...

    Oh, and add onion powder and garlic powder to this game! Salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder are the foundational spices in 90% of all cooking in my family! Chicken, fish, beef, pork, all start with those four spices. We don't even make tuna sandwiches without adding onion powder, garlic powder, and celery seed to the mixture! ...OMG! I just realized Mabi doesn't even have celery seed as a cooking ingredient!! We need more common spices!!! How can you make a proper tuna sandwich without celery seed (and, no, grated fresh celery does not cut it)?! The answer: YOU CAN'T!!! And the bread, of course, must be toasted to get that nice contrasting texture between the soft tuna and the rough, crunchy bread!! Cooking in Mabi is so shallow...

    Anyone else think that trophy chair is ostentatious as heck? XD

    Yes, and it is GLORIOUS (especially if your character is the type with a huge ego)!!!
