GATHERING QUEST – FROM E TO A – GEM, PLANT, MINERAL

STARTING QUEST:

Take the first quest of gathering from Colek at Crafting Studio. After you choose between GEM (production = accessory), PLANT (production = magic tools) and MINERAL (production = weapon OR armor) you will have to collect 10 NOVICE GEM/PLANT/MINERAL. You can find odd gem/plant/mineral around the entrance bindstones of the main cities.

FROM GRADE E TO GRADE D:

Take the quest from Colek at Crafting Studio and collect the number of gem/plant/mineral he asks you (should be 20 for each type).

FROM GRADE D TO GRADE C:

Take the quest from Colek at Crafting Studio. He will ask you to meet someone at Black Dragon Sanctuary (Geizan Map).

GEM: Talk to Laine inside Black Dragon Sanctuary. You will find Laine’s Equipment Box following the road and going LEFT at the first 3-roads intersection in the roundish room with Iron, Bronze, Glacial Golem and Flame Spite (AREA C). Open the Box and report to Laine.

MINERAL: Talk to Giff inside Black Dragon Sanctuary. You will find Giff’s Bag following the road and going RIGHT for two 3-roads intersections in the square room with Paragon Guardsman, Keeper of Holy Water, Flame Spite and Venom Alchemist (AREA H). Open the Bag and report to Giff.

PLANT: Talk to Chubchub out of Black Dragon Sanctuary. Go deep inside BDS going RIGHT for two 3-roads intersections, passing Paragon’s room until you reach Serpenter’s room (be careful, that is the room of Shard of Baron Victor Vlen – LVL 60 BOSS) and open Hoyar’s Bag (AREA M). Report to Chubchub.




FROM GRADE C TO GRADE B:

GEM: Talk to Laine at Black Dragon Sanctuary. She will ask you to gather one kind of gem. Just double click on the right gem behind her.

PLANT: Talk to Chubchub at Black Dragon Sanctuary. He will ask you to gather one kind of plant. Just double click on the right plant behind him.

MINERAL: Talk to Giff at Black Dragon Sanctuary. He will ask you to gather one kind of mineral. Just double click on the right mineral behind him. (When I did this quest, there was a bug: Giff asked me to gather Atrium – the red mineral – but I could finish the quest only when I gathered cronium. If it is still bugged, just double click on the other minerals until you get the right one).


FROM GRADE B TO GRADE A:

Take the quest from NPCs in the AREA B of Rahkon Dungeon Lv. 4. (When you’ll enter the portal from R3 to R4 you will randomly appear in any of the four areas: just keep exiting and entering the portal until you’ll reach the right place where you’ll see three NPCs). Notice that you could gather gem/plant/mineral they’ll ask you even if monsters will hit you, btw be very careful!

GEM: Talk to Teebon and he will ask you to gather Black Stone inside R4. From NPCs room run into the hallway till you reach the first square room: gather the gem you will see there, paying attention at the boss (FEL CONSCRIPT – LVL 75 BOSS!).

PLANT:Talk to Haigee and she will ask you to gather Gold Tree inside R4. Pass through the portal going back to R3 and keep entering/exiting R4 until you will be in AREA A. Go down the hallway till you reach the first square room: gather the plant you will see there, paying attention at the boss (VALKRYON – LVL 75 BOSS!).

MINERAL: Talk to Twin and she will ask you to gather Tungsten inside R4. Again, pass through the portal going back to R3 and keep entering/exiting R4 until you will be in AREA D. Follow the hallway till you reach the first square room (careful, GROGHTTO – LVL 75 BOSS and many mobs with stun skill!), go left and go down the road till you reach a second square room where you can gather the mineral, paying attention at the boss (BANESTONE HATEHART – LVL 80 BOSS!).

Since the locations aren't in the guides I thought I'd post them here
