  1. Thank god. This one doesn't seem to be as irritating as others. I might actually have a chance to get Ion when he gets released.. which is probably... years later /tears

  2. Yes.. his quest is just very tedious but it's doable. The 3500 hunt quests aren't 100% drops either so they will take forever, but at least you don't need to be imba to recruit him then.

  3. nice guide. and it seems the new npcs are getting power from known bosses. ludin from sekhmet, ion from elmorc. so beatrice must be getting her stance from einwind? anyway, i hope he/she stop putting irritating labels on the screenshots like its his/her own property, imc designed these images so it should be kept the way its taken in game, unless its actually drawn by him/herself. well thats free advertisement yes, but maybe he/she can be a little more discreet in putting the blog address >.<

  4. Hehh, seems so. I think it's pretty cool. :D

    Well, they did take the time and effort to take all those screenshots and write down all the dialouge from them. They even make quest-videos on YouTube. I also have a watermark on almost all my own screenshots too, albeit not as noticeable. <:3c Each to their own I guess.

  5. Will you be able to post a guide of Beatrice? Gawd, I realllllllly want her. ;_; <3

  6. It depends what my source would be. :) Playforum GE is ideal, but sometimes they are a bit slow on updating actual recruitments and rather focus on raid and pvp mechanics..

    ReplyDelete
  7. Ok thanks, I'll be sure to check back here frequently for any updates. c: <3!

  8. It will suck for those ppl who have sold or did not keep their CathTorsche cards. Lots of quests need rnpcs now.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thanks Dei!:D

    Same with people who sold Lionel - unless they buy him again they cannot recruit Ludin. Well, it's up to them if they sell the rnpc card or not.. Personally I always keep my characters. Always.

  12. Ion is the next character right?Doesn't seem we'll be getting a huge update like 8.5 to 9.5 next.

    Going by jge we'll probably be getting one character at a time till 10x update ;o i think

    1. Yeah, him and Cruise are next on the list. And indeed, until the update with Grandies and Vincent there's just some new character and changes to various raids.

    2. Just wondering, ion use frost, beatrice use tempest, and ludin use efreet. Why not use 3 of them as elemental pwer XD

  16. Will you be able to finish both Veatrice and Ion's quest in one go?Or are they both in different Time Paradox raids?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hi,

      Veatrice and Ion need different Time Paradox Raids. Ion is the garden-one, while Veatrice is the Stone Cortez-one.

  18. now I know why the dinosaurs are extinct

  19. Would it be better to focus on collecting the old journal and exchanging them?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That's what I did.
      But you can combine that with some raids that drop the books (unles they changed it).

      Delete
  20. Have you tried the broken time piece raid?Would it be easier to do that or farm the items still.

    Is it harder than clock tower if you've done it already.

    1. Hi, I have not, got no time to do it (or any other raids). All I know is that the ar/dr decreases by 2 or 3 or such.

  21. What if I buy Ion, can I quest his stance book?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Just like with Ludin, pretty sure you can't. You'd have to buy it with the stance promotion scrolls.

  22. I find it funny how the best wizard in the land only thought Ion possession ice,and he needed to learn advance magic from a monster,:U

  23. heyya minun, needs a bit of ur help.
    i kind of forgot which characters recruitment (or his/her stance) need viscount ring (or montoro skull ring), besides grenmah. do you know which one is it?

    and, is Master Cards (not scrolls) will be available in item mall?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. For recruitment, Grenmah/Grandice. Otherwise the ring is also needed in Vincent's stancequest.

  24. is ion quest needed to complet anather character quest ?

    1. It's needed until the medicine part (I think...) to recruit Grandies.

  25. Hi! Thank you for posting your guide. I just got Ion after many long days of farming :). By the way for Frost stance quest, actually need 2 elemental jewel + 1 cancer symbol. I was hoping it still required the growth stones :(... so low on vis.
