Popular Post Bacon_Fluff Posted March 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Disclaimer: Hi! This guide was initially written in only 2 hours, though I've been updating it a lot to try and keep it accurate and optimal. Even still, I'm not perfect! If you have any hints or tips to improve I'll happily take them Offline Guide While the offline mode is mostly easy, that doesn't mean you can just ignore it. A lot of things here will matter. The build you want is going to be Axe. This is largely because it and longsword have little benefit for the spear build you'll be using later, so you want to master these as quickly as possible, in your first 1-50 grind. Out of the two, I chose axe to main solely because I prefer it. Your party member builds don't matter whatsoever, I just made them all elemental/divine spellcasters, but heavy hitters like more axes and longswords work too. You should try to avoid spending much money, as the 10 million guilder goal is so high that every penny counts. Ideally, every piece of gear should be from chests, and go straight onto you, and spares onto your allies. Play through the game as normal, beat Dogma Rift, etc. Once you've beaten the game, you'll need to save, return to the title screen, and start NG+. I did this a full four times for 4 Dragonflies to make into Geist Pikes later, as they are very helpful for making the best spears, but that's far from necessary. The list below includes every single NG+ chest, but the ones with * are the only ones you really want. Note: These are the Japanese translated names. Some may be different in game.

Sorry.) A5 - Doom Gauntlets C4 - Serpent Sword D1 - Doom Breeches *C1 - Doom Plate B2 - Doom Greaves C2 - Claymore Not that you can use any of this gear yet. For that you need to grind guild rank. ONLINE GUIDE Firstly, it's super important to note that elements make a BIG difference in damage. Around 1.5x damage even for just +1 element damage! You can check easily with Inspectacles, brought for around 40g from your home town. Primarily, you're gonna want to be using the spear for online play, despite me telling you to use Axe earlier. This is largely due to the vitality stat being used for both raising defence and their attacks. However, this only matters after GR7. GR1 - 3: The beginning. Here, there's very little to do. Run through any missions you feel like, since you'll need to S rank them later anyway. After each GR, remember to check the Adventurer's Guild in any major city. Don't feel bad about spending Guilder here to unlock quests, half of them pay for themselves just for getting an S rank. GR3 - 7: Here's where you start to really have fun. At this rank, the Adventurer's Guild starts to sell a quest called "Best Served Cold", where you're supposed to gather ingredients to feed a giant a poisoned meal, to weaken him enough to slay him. However, due to an oversight, the timing reward you get from immediately running to, and killing him, is more than enough for the S rank. So equip your best armour, enchant your strongest axe with ice, buy strength enhancing accessories from the Greede Merchant Quarter accessory shop, and head to work. Ignore all enemies and run for the boss immediately. You also don't need to talk to the NPC. The following skills you should focus on are: Jawbreaker, Armour Shatter, War Cry, Thunder Jolt, Cannonball. You want to use Jawbreaker to weaken his legs, and armour shatter to drop his defence once you get 1AC. War Cry should be kept up at all times. Once he falls, start using Thunder Jolt on his head, or Cannonball if you have the AC for it. Because you waited until you beat the game, he should go down with little trouble, and you can even take off some gear to attack faster if you're confident enough. This WILL take a while. It took me around 250 attempts, though I did continue about halfway into getting to GR8. GR7 - 8: Congrats! You've overcome the Big Red portion of the GR grind, for now. At this point I heavily recommend grinding Sprogs in Sprog Cleaning 1 for exp until you hit level 50. Once you hit 50, rebirth in the Sinca Reincarnation Pilgrimage quest inside the Van Haven Wastes This drops you by 15 levels, but gives you 40 extra stat points to play with. It stacks 4 times for a total of 160 extra points, but for now we only want to do it once. You can also now equip your Forest set, once you reach the level needed. Hooray! Buy a Castleguard Spear from your Georama Armoury, as well as VIT boosting accessories from Greede's Merchant Quarter, and use your Kite Shield as well. A full set of Castleguard armour, also bought from your Georama, is also helpful. At this point you want to buy Memorial Servant II, and Lost Children II from the Adventurer's Guild. Now I recommend scrolling down to the "Build Guide" section, if you don't want to squander skill points. Otherwise, play Lost Children II until GR8. The route is fairly simple, but if you're unsure you can easily find it on Neoseeker. GR8 - 9: At this point you gain access to the Silver Spear, Doom Plate, and the Earth Leggings, Trousers, and Fists (the Doom Plate has slightly more defence). You can continue playing Lost Children II. However, Memorial Servant is a little faster, clocking in at about 13:00 compared to the 15:00 or so of Lost Children. If you enchant a Silver Spear with fire it'll be even faster. You can obtain the pebbles needed for this very commonly from Elementals in King of Dragons II. Finally, you unlock Best Served Cold II. This quest is extremely difficult, but it has a cheese strategy found at the bottom of this guide. While it gives the most points in the least time, you have to pay constant attention or risk losing the quest. So, to summarise: Lost Children II: Least Attention, Least Reward Memorial Servant II: Some Attention, Decent Reward Best Served Cold II: High level of attention, somewhat inconsistent, best reward (by far!). GR9 - 10: More Memorial Servant II, Lost Children II, of which you'll need around 230 of either, or Best Served Cold II, which you need around 200 of. GR10 - 11: At this point you gain access to Sprog Cleaning II, which can be used to farm exp to obtain the full skill mastery trophy. You should level on Sprog Cleaning I until you're confident, ideally around level 40, then swap to II. The fastest way is to level Spear and kill Sprogs en masse with Inspire boosted Sonic Javelin, though make sure you keep up Fortify at all times to reduce (but not remove!) the risk of death. Once you're satisfied with your level, we start a new grind. The new set to get is the Centurion Armour, Centurion Fists, General's Pants, and General's Boots. You should also use the Master/Kite shield obtained in NG+ (for the purpose of this guide I used the Master Shield), as well as the Emerald Spear and 3 Geist Pikes. (One for each element, though you can do a fourth if you wish for a neutral spear too). There are two main ways to get a majority of the parts required for these items. Firstly, you can explore Sprog Cleaning II (guide below) while grinding exp to rebirth. This gives exp, as well as other items, but it is much slower and has a high risk of death. There is also the method of using Brave Litton's Plight III and Grave Matter III (also below). THE SPROG CLEANING METHOD: 1. First, you want to enter the first gate, and kill all the Sprogs. 2. Next, you harvest the Rough Soul at the top of gems, the Crate in the southwest for wood, and the Soft Soil in the southeast for bugs. 3. You then continue to the elevator at B3, and go down. 4. There are two Rock Faces at the bottom which grant ore (85 Bloodsteel needed), as well as another behind the Fire Lizards, plus a Crate with mushrooms. 5. Go back up, then go to B4 and kill the lizards there. There's another Rock Face, this one drops fossils. (35 Fuelstone Lumps and 35 Wyvern Fossils needed). 6. If you go further south, there is another Rock Face with ore. 7. Go down the elevator directly to the south, where there are more bugs in the Broken Rock and Soft Soil. 8. Follow the path along, and you'll find more gems. 9. You can then take the elevator back up, ending up near the Logic Stone, allowing you to end the quest. Brave Litton's Plight + Grave Matter method - Directly to the right of the hut you start facing in BLP 3, there is a Crate with ore, and a Broken Crate with gems. There are also bugs nearby. - In GM 3, if you head to top right corner of the D3 square, there are two Fossilized Rocks that drop fossils (obviously). These gearsets also need 10x Tough Thread Balls, which are fairly common from Sprogs in Sprog Cleaning II. They also need 4x Hard Massive Jaws, which are a 2% drop from Awahnee. The best method is in Memorial Servant III, though you should seek these out last due to the high difficulty of this boss and the low drop rate. Realistically you can wait until GR11 with little issue (if you upgrade your Earth Boots once or twice), particularly since that unlocks the Flame Spear. Finally, they need 8x Troll Claw+, and 5x Troll Armour Suits, which can both be found in Memorial Servant III, from Trolls! There's one super close to the start, and one slightly further east in a little crevice. If you want to optimise your gear, you'll need to upgrade it. Thankfully, this isn't hard at all, especially compared to the crafting cost! This needs... - Centurion Armour, +1 to +5: 5 Guardian Pearl Lv. 8, 12 Featherlight Ore, 5 Bloodsteel Ore, 6 Sticky Web Fluid - Centurion Armour +6 to +10: 5 Guardian Pearl Lv. 9, 11 Featherlight Ore, 14 Bloodsteel Ore, 14 Sticky Web Fluid, 4 Hard Scorpion Head - Centurion Fists +1 to +5: 5 Guardian Pearl Lv. 8, 8 Featherlight Ore, 3 Bloodsteel Ore, 4 Sticky Web Fluid - Centurion Fists +6 to +10: 5 Guardian Pearl Lv. 9, 11 Featherlight Ore, 12 Bloodsteel Ore, 11 Sticky Web Fluid, 4 Hard Scorpion Head - General's Pants +1 to +5: 4 Guardian Pearl Lv. 8, 8 Featherlight Ore, 3 Troll Armour Suit, 4 Scorpion Tail+, 1 Guardian Pearl Lv. 9 - General's Pants +6 to +10: 5 Guardian Pearl Lv. 9, 11 Featherlight Ore, 12 Troll Armour Suit, 11 Scorpion Tail+, 4 Tough Old Pelt - General's Boots +1 to +5: in progress! - General's Boots +6 to +10: In progress! - Master Shield +1 to +5: 4 Guardian Pearl Lv. 6, 16 Iron Sand Grain, 7 Wind Dragon Tail, 1 Guardian Pearl Lv. 7, 1 Gold Panel. - Master Shield +6 to +10: Largely unnecessary. A majority of these parts are shown above, though you should already have plenty of Featherlight Ore and Iron Sand Grains due to grinding Bloodsteel. However, the items not shown are: - Guardian Pearl Lv. 6: You should have plenty of these from grinding Best Served Cold II. If not, then do it. - Guardian Pearl Lv. 8: This can be obtained by clearing Lost Children III in under 20 minutes, and killing ZERO Spider or Waterspider Sprogs, except the ones surrounding Teanna. - Guardian Pearl Lv. 9: These can be obtained be clearing Lost Children III in under 20 minutes, killing the Sprogs surrounding Teanna and at least 1 other Sprog. - Scorpion Tail+: These are best obtained in Heat Waves II as a rare drop from the Red Scorpions. - Wind Dragon Tail: You can obtain these in King of Dragons II from the Wind Dragon in the far south of the map, at around a 15% drop rate. If you wish, you can break the Dragon's tail and back, then leave combat until the Dragon resets, and repeat this until you get the required tails. You can easily break both of these with the 4AC combo mentioned above, while under Inspire and using an Earth enchanted Silver Lance. - Gold Panel: This can be found from tier 2 Primeval Guardians, found in Take Your Lumps II, The Arena II, or Giant Headache. However, due to the long grind time and little payoff of getting your Master Shield to +5, this is largely unnecessary. - Hard Scorpion Head: This is a very rare drop (2%) from Tier 3 Scorpions, best fought in Belly of the Beast II. - Tough Old Pelt: A rare drop from T3 jackals, best fought in Jackals and Hides II. - Guardian Pearl Lv. 9: These can be obtained through S ranking GR10 quests. We use Lost Children III, as it can easily be S ranked by clearing in under 20 minutes, as well as killing the spiders surrounding Teanna and at least 1 extra. Finally for the gear upgrade, you will want the Emerald Spear and Geist Pikes mentioned above. Firstly, for the Emerald Spear, you need to upgrade a Silver Spear to +9. This will require: - 5x Chromium Pearl Lv. 6, easily obtained from Best Served Cold II. - 18x Iron Sand Grain, obtained from any tier 3 Ore harvest, such as the Crate beside the starting hut in Brave Litton's Plight III. - 17x Garuda Branch, obtained from the Tree directly behind the spawn in All in the Cards II. - 7x Troll King Claws, obtained from the Troll Kings in Caravan Escort II. It is best not to bring the Paupitars with you. - 4x Chromium Pearl Lv. 7, obtained from any GR9 quests, with Research Assistant II and Ring Leader II being the easiest options. Finally, to Bind into the Emerald Spear you will need 25 Rough Sapphires, obtained from any Tier 3 Gem harvest, such as the Broken Crate in Brave Litton's Plight III. Next, for Geist Pikes, you need to upgrade a Dragonfly to +5. This is thankfully much easier than the Silver Spear, needing: (the values in brackets are the amount required if you decide to make all 4 Pikes) - 5 (20)x Chromium Pearl Lv. 5, found from any GR7 quest, ideally Lost Children II. - 18 (72)x Gold Ore, found commonly in Tier 3 Ore harvests, such as the Crate at the start of Brave Litton's Plight III. - 2 (8)x Fish Fossils, found from the above mentioned Fossilised Rocks in Grave Matter II. - 2 (8)x Troll Claw, found from Tier 2 Trolls, best grinded from the two Trolls at the start of Memorial Servant II. Once you have your +5 Dragonfly, binding the Geist Pike is easy! You just need 1 Fire Dragon Horn per, for a total of 4. These are obtained rarely from tier 2 Fire Dragons, best fought in King of Dragons II. Reminder you can easily break their tail with just one use of the 4ac combo with a +1 (ice) Silver Spear while under Inspire, then back off, reset, and try again. Enchanting the Geist Pikes is also pretty easy! You only need 1 Iron Sand Grain (of which you should have plenty) and the requisite elemental crystal. These can be obtained from: Fire: Fire Elementals in Grave Matter III and Lost Children III Ice: Ice Elementals in All in the Cards II Wind (you don't need these!): The Exterminator III Earth: Also in the Exterminator III, on level 2. GR11 - 12: In Progress... Unnecessary for the Platinum Trophy: GR12 - 13: Under Construction GR13 - 14: Under Construction GR14 - 15: Under Construction GR15 - 16: Under Construction BUILD GUIDE: This guide assumes you're either fresh to the game, or have only just rebirthed. As mentioned above, you will be using Axe for the main game and up to GR7, and using spare skill points on Longsword. If you master both now, you can save yourself a rebirth later. In the spear tree, you will need: Chop Impale Shield Bash Skewer Dart Pentaslam Hoist Unicorn Charge Shooting Star Sonic Javelin Paralyse Thrust Dark Thrust Threaten Anima Spear Master Spear Master 2 Spear Master 3 Spear Master 4 Spear Master 5 HP Up HP Up 2 VIT Up VIT Up 2 VIT Up 3 VIT Up 4 VIT Up 5 SPR Up SPR Up 2 SPR Up 3 You should also learn every single divine spell and master the tree. If you have any skill points leftover, they should be used to buy different weapon masteries, and the stat buffs assigned to them. You will use every stat except STR and INT. You should have four combos on your bar at all times. 1 AC: Dart -> Chop 3 AC: Dart -> Chop -> Pentaslam 4AC: Dart -> Chop -> Pentaslam -> Unicorn Charge Your bar should look something like Bar 1: Chop, Skewer, Paralyze Thrust, Dark Thrust, Sonic Javelin, Inspire, Heal III Bar 2: 1AC Combo, 3AC Combo, 4AC Combo, Empty, Empty, Fortify, Empty Bad 3: Threaten, Shooting Star, Anima, Fate's Favour, Angel's Favour, Haste, Heal II Chop is your generic 0mp attack. Skewer is another generic 0mp attack if enemies resist chop. Paralyse Thrust is your bread and butter for damage. Dark Thrust lowers boss accuracy, it makes more of a difference than you'd think! Sonic Javelin is for groups of enemies. Inspire, Fortify, and Haste are stat buffs you should always have up, you can cast them much faster by sheathing your weapon and using the "Magic" section of the main menu. Heal III and Heal II are obvious. Your combos are obvious. Threaten can be used for quests with frail guests, to make enemies attack you. Shooting Star is for attacking enemies heads while they're off balance. Anima is to gain AC. You can use this by entering combat either with a passive enemy or one that hasn't noticed you to gain AC with no risk. Fate's favour blocks 1 physical attack. Angel's favour blocks 1 magical attack. Additionally, once you rebirth all 4 times (and likely a fifth to save the horrible build lol), you have plenty of points. You should use these on mastering Divine Magic, as well as the above Spear guide and below Bow guide, and finally, every Weapon Mastery in order to get every Stat Buff (excluding INT!). Additionally, you should learn these Elemental Magic skills in order to get the MP and AGI Up boosts: Fireball, Fire Lance, +Bonfire, +Eruption, Fire Shield, Icebolt, Arctic Lance, +Glacial Horn, Water Shield, Crosswind, Windlash, Stone Spear, Rockslide, MP Up, MP Up Lv. 2, INT Up, INT Up Lv. 2 (to unlock new skills), AGI Up, and AGI Up Lv. 2. BIG RED/BEST SERVED COLD GUIDE Before you begin, you'll need the Sylvian Strongbow found during NG+, and DEX boosting accessories from Greede. Then, you'll need to enchant it to +2 Ice. (Further needs Fire Giant Whiskers, which we ironically get from big red himself. The iron sand grains can be gathered from the broken crate right at the start of Take Your Lumps II.) Next, buy Needle, Double Nock, and Bullseye from the bow skill tree. Then, make these combos: 1AC: Bullseye -> Sting 4AC: Bullseye -> Sting -> Double Nock -> Needle Your bar should look something like Bar 1: Sting, 1AC combo, 4AC Combo, Haste, Inspire, Angel's Favour, Heal III First, you want to trap him, like shown in this video (comment if it's ever removed, I'll create and add my own.) Then, you want to use sting nonstop, except when he's KOd, where you use the 1ac combo, while keeping Haste and Inspire up constantly. Once you hit max AC and he hits half HP, start spamming the 4AC combo and 1AC combo interchangably, as if you knock him back too far with the 4AC combo he risks breaking out of the glitch. If he ever "draws power" (attack boost), cast Fates Favour immediately so you have a backup in case you're unprepared when he begins casting Welter Strike, as it will oneshot you. Also attempt to recast it anyway, as sometimes the effect wears off but the symbol does not disappear. Otherwise, Fate's Favour and heal off any Welter Strikes as neccesary. You can expect around 23,500 GR every 10 minutes this way. UNDERSTANDING YOUR STATS: To be honest, I don't really have a good way to smoothly add this to the guide, so it gets a simple footnote 😛 - STR: Gives a flat +1 to ATK, as well as being 50% baseline for all physical attack, and affects the damage of Strike skills. - DEX: This affects accuracy as well as the damage of Thrusting skills, and ALL bow damage. - AGI: This affects your dodge rate, as well as the damage of Slashing skills. - VIT: This gives +1 to defense, as well as having an impact on all Spear skills, as well as impacting Block Rate. - INT: This is useless for us, but grants +1 to MAG, having 100% baseline for elements, as well as affecting the damage of Elemental skills (including elemental skills of weapons!) - SPR: This gives +1 RES, as well as affecting the potency of your heals, as well as other magic and staff skills. It also seems to change the duration of your buffs and debuffs. and a HUGE thank you to AmonHawk, for doing a lot of grinding and investigating, as well as giving tons of helpful advice Edited April 13 by Bacon_Fluff frequent edits to update the guide as neccesary 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightblade76 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Best of luck, I did both WKC1 and 2 solo back in 2014, the grind is real in these games, without taking it slowly and alternating them to other games, I’d have probably burned out. Just one advice, try to save materials until the very end, to avoid unnecessary farming, and bind only useful equipment, near the end you’ll then be able to split into two savegames, one where you’ll use materials for georama equipment, useful for quests, and the main save where you’ll unlock the binding trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon_Fluff Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 I didn't even consider having a split save actually that's smart as hell, my only concern is will it stop me from getting the platinum crown item when I import to wkc2?

Brightblade76 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Sorry for the late reply, I've missed the notifications back then. Yes you will forfeit the platinum crown accessory by splitting savegames, it wasn't that important for me, so... you'll be the judge if it is worth the hassle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The estimated time is tough to guess, very tough. For WKC1 I'd say about 1000 hours, maybe? If you port that save into WKC2 it'd likely be about 1500 more (though there's some huge quality of life since you already have the 10 million you need to spend). It's a very long and painful grind, though it doesn't feel as long as you expect. Yes though, it does have to be all offline (which is why it's so time consuming) the Vellgander superdungeon + Madoras the superboss included! It's not impossible to kill him and the very few videos demonstrating offer a remarkably comprehensive guide, so it should be replicable.

Brightblade76 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It can be done solo in 500 hours more or less, but you are looking at 3000 runs of the three Big Red quests to "speed up" the process... almost unbearable unless you spread it among other games lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of both. a lot of content needs a lot of skill to do properly, and most content is the same. For the most part though you'll just be playing the quest Only Game in Town repeatedly, which is not especially difficult (though optimising it takes skill). Overall the game isn't difficult, you just need to learn mastery of the systems at play to do things like Madoras or 50 S ranks quests.

Bacon_Fluff Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 thank you so much! it means a lot that people are using my guide I recently got back into the game and hit GR10, so you can expect more progress soon - though I doubt I'll make the grind beyond GR12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do they drop Featherlight Ore, they also drop Bloodsteel Ore and Rough Rubies - also needed for the gearset. I dropped my data below to give an idea of what to expect: Crate: - Iron Sand Grain: 22% - Gold Ore: 19% - Steel Ore: 17% - Black Iron Ore: 16% - Featherlight Ore: 14% (Always seems to drop all at once?) - Bloodsteel Ore: 13% Broken Crate: - Morion Shard: 29% - Luminous Stone: 19% - Crystal: 14% - Amethyst Shard: 14% - Rough Sapphire: 12% - Rough Ruby: 11% hope this helps!

I dropped my data below to give an idea of what to expect: Crate: - Black Iron Ore: 20.9% - Steel Ore: 19.8% - Iron Sand Grain: 18.6% - Gold Ore: 16.3% - Bloodsteel Ore: 12.8% - Featherlight Ore: 11.6% Broken Crate: - Morion Shard: 32.9% - Luminous Stone: 26.6% - Crystal: 12.7% - Rough Sapphire: 12.5% - Amethyst Shard: 10.1% - Rough Ruby: 5.1% hope this helps! Thanks for the answer! I've already created General's cuirass and General's Pants. I mined ore in Sprog Cleaning 2, there are 4 spots where you can get featherlight ore and one spot with fuelstone lump + some coins from spiders. Also made an Emerald spear, got chromium pearls 7 for completing Research assistant 2 quests with the best time of ~44min at B rank. I want to make a Faerie bow: 30 Faerie Mask + 50 Snow-cotton Boll. You can get the first one from Kibbles in Memorial Servant 3 quest, do you know where to get snow-cotton bolls? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To farm money/ore/sapphires - Sprog cleaning 2: go through the first gate, kill the spiders in the center and a little further, to the right of the entrance there will be a spot with rubies, to the left - a box with planks. Go to the fork - kill the spiders, go to the right and take the elevator down, there will be two places with cool ores straight ahead, then go to the lizards - kill and loot 3 places (ore, rubies and a box). Return to the fork and go straight, kill the spiders and lizards, where the lizards will be a spot with fuelstone lumps/wywern fossils, closer to the elevator there will be a place with ore. Go down the elevator and loot two places with butterflies, go further to the lizard, there will be a place with rubies. Next is the elevator - finish the quest. The fastest place to get fuelstone lumps that I found is Lost Childtren 3: go to the first chest with a key (there will be a place with ore), then go to the gate, to the right of the gate there will be another place with ore and a box, then go through the gate and from the fork to the right, there will be the desired point with a fuelstone lump/wywern fossil. By that time I had already farmed ore, so I was running purely for FL/WF. I want to tell you about a couple more things, you will need a lot of scorpion tails+, you can farm them in the Belly of the Beast 2 from red scorpions (drop chance 7%). Also you need a ton of troll armor suits, i farm them in Memorial Servant 3. So i kill Kibbles for faeirie masks(15% drop chance) and AC then kill Trolls(troll armor suits - 17%, troll claw+ - 12%) and there is few spots with century-tree planks that you need for enchanting Emerald spear. I advise you to first make an Emerald spear and forge it at +8 before starting farming. You can also byu red corpion tails+(60k$) and troll armor suits(72k$) from Georama but it's insainly pricy. Regarding the emerald spear - it is super easy to enchant it at +8. Chronium pearls 8 for A rank Lost Children 3 <20-25min(not sure) and less then 40k pts(kill only spiders where you found Teanna), Chromium pearls 9 for S rank same quest <20min and >40k pts (kill spiders where you found Teanna + one random unlucky spider on the way). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! thank you very much! I'll absolutely include both of these methods in the guide. Your Sprog Cleaning 2 method is slower, but it has the added benefit of being able to be done while you grind exp to rebirth, so it's helpful to add. Your other information about monster parts is also insanely helpful! Thank you so much! If the emerald spear is the best wind spear, what about the other 3 elements? or should I just enchant it with them? finally, I assume you got your 8 Earth Beast Claw+ from the Greavers in Research Assistant II? and the hard massive jaw is definitely from Memorial Servant III, I think overall, thank you so much for the help!! :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need GR11 spears with different elements, for now only wind ES is ok i guess. I recently got this so need more time to test it. 38 minutes ago, Bacon_Fluff said: I assume you got your 8 Earth Beast Claw+ from the Greavers in Research Assistant II? and the hard massive jaw is definitely from Memorial Servant III Nah they do not drop Earth Beast Claw+, it is GR10+ Megalo Tigris but you do not need this cuz Centurion fists(+5: HP+21/STR+8/DEX+8) much better then General's fist(+5: HP+22/MP+2/SPR+7), so my goal for now it's to get 8 troll claws+ for Centurion fists + grind Faerie masks at the same time-> then enchant all my armor +5 -> kill Ahwahnee(well at least try) for hard massive jaws 4pcs(2% chance D:) for General's Boots -> +5 General's Boots -> do some quest -> create stuff for BSC3 S rank.
