Lolita Justice was brought!

After 10 frustrating months of hunting down 2 pieces of unknown ore for my Claire quest, finally she joined my family.

So how did I finished this quest? Because the current patch influences the drop rate of a certain item by current character level I took advantage of it and used two characters who are currently at level 68 and 69. But of course I brought an expert scout as my support to other lowbie characters who is doing the quest for me. Well base on my speculation, it is more easier to do the quest with the condition of using same level cap characters. And at least Claire is with me now. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Masquerade! Lights! Camera! Action!

After the server was up, I was held up in-game because of exploring some new features of the game. And part of that was getting familiar with instanced raids and of course getting my own Hellena and Ania for my family.

(Welcome Hellena and Ania to Fiksdotter Family!)

I find the quest easy to access though in mission its kinda off because the stats of the lords inside Chateau Raid was insanely tough. Adverse to it, the lords in the Hellena quest was different because they have 59 AR/DR so it is more easier to take down. Fortunately I surpass the quest with ease. Thanks to Hrin potion, Triumph Fillers, Soul Crystals and Lucifer Wings I made it thru. That only thing that will satisfy my taste on this patch is when I manage to get my own Trump weapon and I guess its enough for me.

Oh by the way Ferrucio Espada was rumored to be alived! Want to know more about the story line? Finish the Arsene and Ania Recruitment quest to know this juicy information. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Seeing things around GE 3

Have you ever tried walking around with an RNPC that has connection with another RNPC? Yesterday I came from work and I feel walking around at Cite Reboldeoux with my Kurt Lyndon a Baron RNPC. Then I remember the story way back when I took him as a part of Fiksdotter family. So I've decided to visit Sir Lyndon a visit to his majestic abode at Cite Reboldeoux using my Kurt.

Kurt: Oh yeah I miss my step father. I'll visit him.

Well unfortunately our visit is not that really pleasant and I therefore conclude among other MMORPG, RNPC's here at Granado Espada have their own personal grudges to each other. And this is what happend.

Sir Lyndon: You traitors! I will kill you!


[Notice] Can't talk when a Baron is in your team.

Amazing was it? Well now I'm on the surge of seeing more things around Granado Espada. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Narblem

I was really happy and accomplished that I acquired the character Nar and included him in my barracks. But unfortunately after all the extravagant introduction of Nar for the Zeia expansion, his blunt was forgotten by the developer. I was training him at Rion Prairie when I realize he cannot equip a sword and his blunt is currently level 60. So that means I have to wait for a pain in the ass level 84 to somehow equip him with the next blunt weapon which is the shaft hammer. Well just an observation if you are using third party program you may not identify this mistake. Then again I admire the fight of IAH and IMC against botting. Til again, I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Narccomplished!

Yesterday after some frequent disconnection from our service provider, good thing that my faction mates informed me a squad was created for Occulta. I was really ready for this quest scenario, not to mention I have my 5pcs of Te with me. We do the quest around 20:00 so it means its twilight time outside the Zeia outskirts. We reached the entrance and everyone is ready for some action.

Upon entering Occulta Fortress, we already anticipate sudden death if traps manage to kill us so we have soul crystals with us. Upon heading an area where we could hunt down for Kobold Elder, we passed by some Dullahan Guards and many spike traps that stuns you and hits your family simultaneously. And it hurts a lot, every use of soul crystal its either my characters are being knocked back or stunned to death. We've managed to pass through these traps and Dullahans then now we found a spot for refuge and safe hunt on Kobold Elders.

After an hour of hunting, we return to the Zeia captain to accomplish the task. After talking to the captain I move to Nar and voila his character card is now mine. Hope you'll try this quest and make sure you have several or more pieces of soul crystals to survive the traps. I'll keep you posted pioneers.

Fizzled Narcapade

In such great esteem I pull my family together and continue the recruitment quest for Nar. And its quite hard due to AR/DR differences of my weapon against the monsters involved in the quest. I've collected 50 pcs Rhodolite pieces and submitted it to the Zeia Captain beside Queen Hamaan. And am stuck now at Killing 10 Kobold Elder because you must enter Occulta and by doing so you will need 5pcs Te or 5pcs Ti in order to enter. Remember that Te rune will permit you to enter Occulta only during the night or twilight and Ti rune is used during morning or meridian.

(Nar and my family under instanced scenario)

And pioneers there is a part in the quest that you must protect Nar against spawning Zeia monsters. Imagine all of them in 62 AR/DR! But I use the strategy of luring away from Nar using a fighter then nuke with Elementalist in Fire Domination stance then my Claude sweeping them using Mighty Cruz stance. For now am on the verge of proceeding Occulta but I'm looking for a squad mate in order to finish the quest with ease.


Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers.

Sunday Narcapade!

I woke up today and I was on the verge of training my Selva to Veteran when suddenly someone caught my attention at the City of Auch.

(xBayushi's Nar with my Selva with GeneiRyodan Family pictorial)

Yes~ your eyes don't fool you of whatsoever! Nar the warrior of Zeia is available for recruitment and I can't wait to have one. For now am figuring things out how can I finish the quest more faster because the monsters within the region of Zeia are 62 AR/DR which is quite hard in my case. But what I can see is that most of the monsters in Zeia are wild beasts so its advisable to have Musketeers with wild beast option on your pistols for faster killing. Well I do hope Nar will be on my barracks but for now I should properly prepare myself. Thanks to my friend xBayushi for letting me take shot of his Nar. Til again I'll keep you posted pioneers!









For Quest Details: Iguion Blog Guide

Exploration and the Band of Four

Yesterday was one the greatest day for me at Granado Espada. Imagine after I successfully updated the client around 11:45 then after some time around 12:25 the Zeia was opened through efforts of our current Chancellor Mahoney of Le Conquistador.

I rushed inside the Reboldeoux Culverts and engage to the door that will open for Zeia. But I have to do some quests for Emilia Gulliano who is located in the Port of Coimbra. Then After killing some monsters in Culverts that is required for her quest I move back to her. Then She instructs me to have a conversation with Brunie. I talked to the NPC Brunie and she handed over to me the key to the gate inside Culverts that has the route to Zeia. And voila, Zeia embraced me with astonished welcome to the new civilization.

(Welcome to Erach the new civilization of the new found world)


(Twilight time in the region of Zeia)

After exploring the Zeia region I proceed on doing my Selva quest. I begin my Chaos Requiem quest and as time goes by, I realized that am already doing the Selva quest proper. Around 21:15 I camped at Corridor of Assize at Gehenna bridge. Then I've met DivineSaint, Devolton, and Oldguys. We managed to take down Dr. Fran Morthein effortlessly and gave us a death count of one making the current quest complete. I left the squad and I do some other quest related to Selva's quest. Around 22:10 I moved to Katovic Snowfield to continue the quest. In this part am close of getting Selva and am about to hunt for the Avalanche Apparition. When I move to Snow Plain again I've seen DivinSaint, Devolton, and Oldguys camping for Avalanche so they squad me up instantly. Then we managed to take down the Apparition and Montoro at the same time. We were happy because the four of us finished the quest.

(At last my own Selva, another accomplishment for my family)

Now I have my own Selva at my barracks, but too bad I don't have Eduard Jameson the love triangle will be completed. Well I think Kurt, Gavin, and Selva would be a great team up don't you think? So til again I'll keep you posted pioneers.

Manny Pacquiao and Jean Pierre Gascon

(Oscar de la Hoya with Manny Pacquiao)

After Manny Pacquiao's victory against Oscar de la Hoya, I felt glad because he emerge champion after this dream fight. Well my imagination flies when even in Granado Espada, a distinguished RNPC Jean Pierre Gascon reminds me of his relevant stance as a professional boxer. You might say I imagining too hard but as you can see most of the martial artists in Granado Espada are almost relevant to the fighting styles of a real sport. Now tell me pioneers of the new found world, does any on-line game that can match the complexity of this game? For now try to find out if any.

(Jean Pierre Gascon on his Book of Earth Stance)

I simply post this to hail the victory of the Philippine's Champ, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao! And again I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Claire Quest: Prepare for Lolita Justice!

This is the information gathered and confirmed about Claire's Quest and am already half-way to finish it.

How to trigger the Quest:
Meet the NPC Claire at the City of Auch with Claude Baudez as your leader in squad. Do take note that there is no specific level of what Claude Baudez you bring.

Quest Proper:
* After talking with Claire for the quest trigger, remove Claude Baudez in your team.
* Claire will give you a letter to be send for Claude, look for him at Cite Reboldoeux.
* Claude will give back a letter addressed to Claire, look for her again.
* The quest will describe Claude's test for Claire, so you will now move to Jose Cortazar at the Port of Coimbra.
* When you found Jose Cortazar, he will ask for some avocado sandwich which are sold at Lisa also at the Port of Coimbra.
* After you hand over the avocado sandwich, Jose will ask for 50,000 vis and 50 family reputation.
* Jose will now send you to an instance mission of eliminating 3 Escudo Pecher.
*After accomplishing this mission, you will now buy an Elemental Jewel that costs 10,000,000 vis that can be bought at item dealers in different towns.
* When you hand over to Claire the jewel and the quest item from Jose Cortazar, you are about to meet; Reboldoeux Investigating Team (H7 Cite Reboldoeux), Coimbra Emilia (J7 Port of Coimbra), and Enhancement Merchant Rio (H6 City of Auch). They will respectively give you; large age watch, headband, and rucksack quest items.
* Meet Claire again, and this time the quest will ask for a hunt.
* The quest will require 2 Unknown ores that can be found at Bona Vista River. You must kill some or more Elite Storm Cockatrice to get the quest drop Unknown ores.
* After acquiring 2 Unkown ores, move to Claude Baudez and this time he let Claire to join with you.
* Congratulations you have Claire on your family.


On my personal note, the quest was easy on lurking around the cities looking for NPC's. But the major problem was hunting the Elite Storm Cockatrice. Be reminded that if you could put your family to "Keep Mode" at Bona Vista River, use Musketeer type for fast kill and go to sleep if the Unknown ore is not lucky to slip on your quest counter. The quest above are now modified for sGE and previous changes was made from original kGE quests. Enjoy and more patience to you pioneers!

Welcome to version 2.9

After the server maintenance most of the pioneers are overwhelmed of what happened to Granado Espada. There are things noticeable in this game; from UI tool tip, new RNPC, new NPC, Feso system, and most especially the pet system.

Well there are some questions like where could the pet quest begin? What is Feso? Where is Calyce? There are answers that I can share to you.

For the pet quest go a Pet Expert located outside of Bahia. Talk to him twice to trigger quest. Next he will tell you to snatch an egg. Proceed to first zone of Island of Fire. Look for a stone, take note this is a clickeable stone, then you are brought to hidden mushroom cave. Once you snatch the egg go back to Pet Expert. He will bring you to an instance mission, remember eliminate the cute mother and don't let Pet Expert die. After this go back to Pet Expert, he will bring you to the green house and look for an unhatched egg. Then you are to visit the egg with a total of 3 Days visit, take note this is literal 24 hour increment. Then after that prepare to feed your own pet and in return it will serve you right.

Next is the Feso system. Okay there are questions where to get this currency. Base from RCM Hrin herself, there are loots from; Forgotten Territories, Ancient Territories, and Superfights that drops moonstone and sunstone that can be sold to Feso Market in exchange for Feso.

Okay where is Calyce Bernelli? She can be found inside Pegadilla in the Port of Coimbra. Just do some easy scenario quests and give off 50 mysterious powder. And congratulations! You successfully have her in your family. Oh by the way don't get confused on her story, again she is female not male!

One of the issues right now are some changes in consumables like the 30-day Combat Manual is gone from the list of Premium Items at Leticia. And the most controversial is the Microphone and Mega phones that is now converted as premium item, that can be bought for 150-200 G-Points.

My personal opinion about the microphone and megaphone turning them to premium, IAH is trying to eliminate vis sellers who are 24/7 spamming the broad. Yes there are ways that they could get their asses to promote vis selling but it will somehow ease the broad space. For others this is unfair because this is the only way they could sell their wares. But the point is, yes its kinda hassle to most of the pioneers though we must remember that broad has been a source of scamming, broad hate, and senseless broads. On the other hand, IAH should explain their opinion about this and most especially the 30-day Combat Manual that is now gone at the premium item shop.

So again pioneers I'll keep you posted!

Discover version 2.9

We will have some new features to discover in this upcoming version and I hope the pioneers will love the features. The version offers; the pet system, new missions, new RNPC costumes, ogre and werewolf series, Calyce Bernelli, Claire, and maybe the feso system. Well these features may be reveal soon the version 2.9 is available to all pioneers of the new found world.

So for download site in regards with version 2.9 please CLICK HERE.

Hope you enjoy the new version fellow pioneers. Again I'll keep you posted. Good luck to your exploration!

There is something about Cathie

Okay I was mixed up if I'm going to get Idge the Battlesmith or Catherine STR build. The point is both of this RNPC can wield shield and placing them to advantage. Now here is my dilemma, Idge the Battlesmith has quite a good stat and looks cool though Catherine STR build has a decent STR that usually pawns and doesn't require G-Points. But in short I like them both because they are melee in class!

Well because I saw a cheap Cath's Pelvis at the market manager, I've decided to create my Catherine STR. By the way thanks to Reclusion who handed over his decoy account now I was able to create her *evil grin*.

And so at the end of the day I finally made her and named her as Orpah. Pretty neat huh? I don't know I'm starting to like this Catherine STR build from out of senseless reason. I hope she could reach expert too. So pioneers when picking RNPC's, make sure you are happy when creating and putting them into your barracks.

Once again, I'll keep you posted 'til next time pioneers!

Novia vs Fiksdotter

After a while of doing the long quests just to acquire Gavin for my family, at last I got him. So this is how I do it.

Family Used: Vet Fighter, Vet Wizard, Vet Elementalist

Equipments used:

Fighter

Level 84 +4 Elite Plate Male +3DR
Level 92 +4 Elite Dragon Tooth +70% Human
Level 92 +4 Elite Castor Shield
Level 40 10% aspd Idge's Gauntlet
Level 40 5 eva 5% Hp up Idge's Boots

Wizard

Level 84 +5 Elite Staff of Simurgh
Level 100 +4 Claro Mago

Elementalist

Level 100 +4 Bracelet of Ziz
Level 92 +5 Elite Skullic Bracelet +3AR
Level 84 +4 Elite Robe of Uranus +3DR
Wise Man's Necklace *Quest Item +3AR/DR*
1 pc Chain Lightning Ring
1 pc Lightning Ring

Misc Consumables
1 Offensive Fillers
1 Triumph Fillers
1 Defensive Fillers
1 Mystic Ampule

Here is the process on how Novia was pawned in my case. Fighter moves some steps forward till +5AR/DR buff (Will of the Veteran) activates at the same time let my Wizard and Elementalist move as far as they can before the mission starts. After the conversation, Fighter buffed with +5AR/DR will provoke the three guards along Montoro. Then move to a safe place that Novia can't damage you with her AOE (Area of Effect) and attention span will not trigger against your team. If so, activate Misc Consumables as quickly as possible, in this scenario electric charge buff and magic barrier was cast and then I do the damage on the provoked with lightning skill. Repeat the process of casting lightning to the provoked until they die and Novia was the one left. Remember when facing Novia, make sure you are on foot at 5AR/DR buff or else she might smite you effortlessly. Do the same thing, provoke Novia and cast lightning. Remember maintain buff, provoke, lightning skill, and spam heal type potion. And a piece of advice, among the five only Monotoro can detect invisible units so use invisible potion only when situation asks for it.

Well if you think that it is impossible for you to finish this quest. The safest way to do this is when you reach the expert level to avoid misuse of premium consumables.

Today am happy because this is yet another accomplishment for my family and at least I am one of the people who can prove Veteran Families can finish this quest. Special thanks to AlphaOmega of Destiny Faction for the quest run through, Sovincine of Destiny Faction for free Katovic Soup, Reclusion of Destiny Faction, Yogen of All Stars Faction, and Xei of Takhisis Faction.

Another RNPC for 3rd Civilization!

It seems that lately there are many surprises from GE Hanbiton website which keep our pioneers amazed and wanting for more. I was browsing on our official sGE forums and I found this image of a new RNPC!

Well by the looks of it, its more of an Aztec type RNPC with blunt weapon on its grasp which really portrays the 3rd Civilization concept. It was somehow detailed in hanbiton that this RNPC has four stances including bare knuckle, back guard, and two unique stances. Well this tough guy reminds of a job class in a PC game - which is a barbarian class. And voila I think he is a barbarian in its concept.

GE has too much in store for us so keep playing and enjoy the game.

New Kid in Town

Due to product of boredom, today I've just finished my Viki quest and got him. It was lucky of me that I've finished it for four hours only. Well if you are going to ask me, the mamund part only took me 3 kills of Violent Gehcos to complete the quest. And especially I've already gathered all strange items for this quest.

Well luckily its a great day for me, though I hear discouraging comments about the accomplishment of this Viki quest.

My Kurt and 92 elite quest

In this article, I will share my experience about the Los Toldos Baron Quest along with creation of 92 Elite Equipment. So we shall start on the Baron Quest and at the last part we'll proceed on the 92 Elite Equipment Quest. So pay attention.

We have to prepare some important things before you activate the quest. First you must have a package of Del Los Muertos that can be bought through G-Points worth 22,000 GP. This package is composed of 90 Mystery Powder, 1 Otite Perfume (1 day), and 1 Wheel of Destiny (1 day).

(Tierra De Los Muertos Map)

[This quest is applicable to non-PK servers, any changes may vary due to server difference.]

(Mamon your access to Los Toldos)

(Inside Los Toldos hideout of Barons)

1. Equip your wheel of destiny to one of you characters. Then activate your otite perfume. Enter to Los Toldos through Mamon of Deserted Quay.

(Kurt inside the wrecked ship in Los Toldos)

2. Move to Kurt and talk to him using the character equipped with wheel of destiny.

(Your access to Tierra - The Gloomy Old Man)

(Welcome to land of the dead. So as the soundtrack here)

3. Kurt will have a good reaction on your character having the wheel of destiny. So your first quest is to enter Tierra De Los Muertos. He will let you kill certain number of undead inside Tierra De Los Muertos.*

(Don't worry it is part of quest. Rumors say it is random)

4. After accomplishing the first quest, Kurt will demonstrate his power. You will be defeated so don't worry. After being defeated, talk to him again and a quest will be triggered.

(Mysterious Eduardo at his hideout somewhere in the outskirts)

5. Kurt will ask you to find Eduardo and give a letter to him. Eduardo is located at E3 of Tierra De Los Muertos. There is a pillar of tombstone there, simply click it to reveal the secret hideout of Eduardo. After accomplishing this move back to Kurt.*

(Nice eyes don't you think? Amazing he grasps a great sword as one hand)

6. Kurt will now ask you to hunt down a Mueletos Chief. It is located at G9 of De Los Muertos. After defeating the Chief move back to Kurt.*

(The ruined town in the center of Tierra De Los Muertos)

7. Then Kurt now will ask you to investigate at De Los Muertos located at G7. Look for the cask, broken box, and woodpile. Now return to Kurt and report about the investigation.*

(Oh yeah Montoro on the house, giving you a warm welcome)

8. Kurt will further ask your assistance by moving at B6 De Los Muertos. He will hand over 5 invisible potions. When reaching B6 activate the potion to your team's leader. A scene will activate. Then you will face Montoro himself.*
9. When you defeated Montoro move back to Kurt and he ask you to stop Montoro completely. He will again hand over another 5 invisible potion. Return to B6 repeat the procedure at number 8. You will face the stronger Montoro. It was said you can die here and precede the quest.*
10. Kurt will now ask you to hunt for 10 pure otite. You can activate this pure otite hunt by getting it to white beard man. After accomplishing this submit this to Kurt. This time will now ask you to deliver a letter to Eduardo and Eduardo will ask you to give his reply to Kurt.*

11. Kurt will now ask you to visit G7 of De Los Muertos, located in the middle of map, just simply step on the ruined colony of the area. Then an E-Drama will be executed, revealing the betrayal.*

12. This is the point you are waiting for. You will choose whose side are you on "Kurt's suggestion" and "Eduardo's suggestion". Just simply visit the RNPC you want to get the card after finishing the instance at number 11.

(In this case I side with Kurt. So I killed Eduardo for this quest)

13. After choosing side, visit the RNPC who you don't side with and kill it. But there are rumors that even though you don't defeat one of them, you can still acquire their card.

14. When you finished step number 13, just hand over the 70 mystery powder and now you can welcome him to your family. Congratulations!

Now let us move to crafting 92 elites inside Los Toldos. I will share my experience on how to get one. So we will focus on getting elite level 92 equipment.

We have to prepare 30 mysterious powders for moving back and forth Los Toldos and Tierra De Los Muertos, ingredients like pure ores, the spirit that can be acquired through special unique either mysterious steel piece, three pieces of level 92 enhancement chip, and pure otite that in progress you will acquire along your hunt quest.

1. Talk to gloomy old man.
2. Select getting pure otite.
3. Then select for a quest option for pure otite.
4. Now move inside Tierra De Los Muertos.
5. After killing 100 undead soldiers move back to Los Toldos.
6. Submit the otite pieces to gloomy old man.
7. He will hand over 1 - 2 pure otite.
8. Repeat the process until you reach the pure otite requirement.

Tips.

1. You can do otite pure quest every time you get in Tierra De Los Muertos. This is applicable after Kurt asks you to hunt for 10 pure otite pieces.
2. Full squad is highly recommended for faster farming.
3. I strongly suggest that you bring exactly or more than 30 mystery powder for this quest. If there are chances you got disconnected.
4. Save in front of Mamon just in case you got disconnected.

(Gathered Materials)

(Equipment now crafted)

Facts:
1. Each baron 92 elite recipe costs one million vis and cannot be traded until being crafted.
2. At the anvil, drag-drop the unique item to refine it as spirit. But make sure to pick it up after dragging it at the anvil.
3. Some undead mob has skills so don't underestimate them especially when you are not that well equipped.
4. The character card quest will take at least 2 and a half hours if you will exclude pure otite hunt.
5. If in full squad during pure otite hunt, it is possible to accomplish 100 undead counts in every 3-5 minutes.
6. At least prepare 120 or more mystery powder to accomplish 92 elite equipment quest along with character card quest.
7. Level 92 elite equipments has natural glow so enjoy.

Hope this guide will somehow help other players especially who owns family in a non-PK server. This quest kills me for more than 12 hours but it really pays off. So dedicate a time for this quest if you really want to finish this. Remember now, your g-points is at stake well you don't like wasting premium items don't you? Thanks again and enjoy!
