[HF] Quest Guide 1-85

Quests Level 1 to 18

After character creation, speak with the Newbie Helper NPC. Hunt for the quest item (stone), turn it in, and receive 200 Soulshots. Formally, this is considered the first quest.

Use a Scroll of Escape: Kamael Village. Speak with the Newbie Helper there; he will direct you to Marcela. She offers two quests:

Supply Check – Simply run and speak with two NPCs to receive No-Grade equipment.
Head for the Hills! – This quest requires Level 6. Run out of town, reach the required level, and return to Marcela. Once you accept the quest, teleport via the Gatekeeper to the Hills of Gold and kill one monster. Turn it in, choose to refuse to continue, and receive Soulshots as a reward.

Return to the Newbie Helper. He will boost you to Level 10. Here you can receive buffs, take a Weapon Exchange Coupon, exchange it for a weapon, and teleport to the Talking Island Village (Human Village).

In the Human Village, teleport to the Northern part of the island and grind on Golems until Level 15. The monsters are non-social and non-aggressive, making leveling very easy. At Level 15, return to town and take the quest: Cure for Fever.

Upon completing the quest, speak with the Newbie Helper, and you will reach Level 18. Proceed to start your 1st Class Transfer quest.

Quests Level 20–40 (All rewards based on x1 rates)

19+ Dragon Fangs – Requires killing 150 mobs; I would recommend skipping this.
20+ "Orc Quests" (Walk of Fate and Ominous News) – Complete these if you are an Orc or Dwarf. If you are not, and teleports are expensive, skip them.
21+ "Elf Quests" (Legacy of the Poet and Blood Fiend) – Mandatory quests for Light Elves and for servers with free teleports for other races. If the server is highly populated, it is better to skip due to long respawn times for the quest monster. Not available to Dark Elves.
21+ Dangerous Seduction – Similar to the Elf quest but provides more Adena. Available only to Dark Elves.
25+ Lizardmen's Conspiracy – A quest for SP; better to skip.
27+ Acts of Evil – A decent quest in the Gludin territory; provides Adena and Experience.
30+ Beyond the Hills of Winter – A good quest for D-Grade Soulshots (1,650 pcs) and some experience. The only issue is that it is located in Schuttgart.
35+ Temple Executor – A chain of 8 quests. Mandatory for completion; takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and rewards approximately 450k Adena.
36–42 Pailaka - Song of Ice and Fire – The first of three Pailakas. It restores two Vitality bars and rewards decent D-Grade jewelry and 150k+ Adena. Pailaka rewards are non-transferable. It is best to complete this after equipping C-Grade gear.
39+ Second Class Transfer Marks – Since locations for the marks overlap, I recommend doing all 3 marks simultaneously starting at level 39 for efficiency. A section for "3-in-1" class guides will be available soon.
40+ Relic Exploration – The well-known "Kusto" chain. Takes 20–25 minutes and rewards approximately 300k Adena. It is best to start at level 42 to complete the entire chain at once.
40+ Warehouse Keeper's Pastime – An excellent RNG-based quest. You can obtain good C-Grade items; quest items drop in many 40+ locations. Especially relevant in early patches where A-Grade weapon recipes are valuable.
40+ A Special Order – A quest for Enchant Scrolls. Ideally, complete this on all accounts (windows) and attempt it once per day.
40+ Enhance Your Weapon – The quest required to level up Soul Crystals (SA). This is mandatory.

Quests Level 40–85

50 + Audience with the Land Dragon – The access quest for Antharas.
50 + More Than Meets the Eye – In addition to 100k Adena and a permanent beast transformation, this quest enables the ability to learn sub-class skills. One of the most important quests in the game. I recommend doing it immediately and looking for the Dragon transformation, which allows you to use an analogue of Shadow Dance on yourself—this will make your life much easier when doing sub-classes.
50 + Seductive Whispers – The well-known "blue balls" quest. I usually play until 3 wins: Adena + EWC. Only thanks to this quest is it possible to gear up in A-Grade from the Luxury Shop.
57 + Supplier of Reagents – Quest for sub-class reagents. Items drop in many locations; taking this quest is mandatory.
58 + Stolen Dignity – Another "casino quest." Items drop in many locations; you can pull pieces for Top A-Grade weapons. On High Five (HF), it is nothing more than a nice bonus; on C4/Interlude, it is a must-have.
60 + Into the Flames – The access quest for Valakas.
60 + An Arrogant Search – The access quest for Baium.
60 + A Game of Cards – Another popular quest known as "red balls." Most often we will loot D-Grade armor scrolls, but there is a very small chance to pull an item that sells to the shop for 100kk. I have checked this personally; it actually sells to the NPC for that amount.
61 – 67 Pailaka - Devil's Legacy – The second of three Pailakas. You receive a bracelet for 2 talismans, experience, and full Vitality.
70 + Pavel the Giant – A chain of three quests. Upon completion, you receive an A-Grade Phoenix Earring, 1.5kk Adena, and some experience.
73 – 77 Pailaka - Injured Dragon – The last of the three Pailakas. You receive an A-Grade shirt, experience, and full Vitality.
73 + Truth Beyond the Gate and Through the Gate Once More – The access quest for the Pagan Temple in Rune.
74 + Four Goblets – A quest chain for access to Frintezza.
76 + 3rd Class Transfer Quests.
76 + Matras' Curiosity – Access to the Tully Workshop on Hellbound. The quest is quite simple, but the mechanic for moving to the Raid Boss is a total joke. (Interestingly, the quest is available from level 76, but you can only access the island itself from level 78).
Important:
1. Raid Boss items are given to everyone who hits it; you don't necessarily have to be in the last-hit party.
2. If you are dead at the moment the Raid Boss is killed, you will not receive the item.
3. The respawn time for the Raid Bosses Ranku and Demon Prince is 1 hour.
76 + Containing the Attribute Power – A quest for a free 150 Attribute. It takes about 10–15 minutes, and you receive 2–3 Attribute stones of your choice. (Attributes from the quest cannot be sold or traded).
78 + Path to Hellbound – Access quest for Hellbound island (if it has been opened on the server).
78 / 80 / 82 – Quests for cloaks from instance Raid Bosses: Zaken, Frintezza, and Freya. All quests are taken from NPCs in Rune.
79 + Seven Signs, Series of Doubt – The first quest chain of the "7 Signs." Upon completion, you receive approximately 60% experience for level 79 and a Weight Limit bracelet.
80 + Reclaim Our Era – Quest for "clan eggs." Can be done once per day; it's easiest to choose the Raid Boss in Stakato Nest.
80 + Legendary Tales – Kill 7 Raid Bosses in Dragon Valley = receive an S84 weapon of your choice.
80 + Don't Know, Don't Care – Quest to kill 3 Raid Bosses in LOA (Lair of Antharas) with a fairly substantial reward.
81 + Seven Signs, Mysterious Girl – The second quest chain of the "7 Signs." Upon completion, you receive approximately 30% at level 81 and a skill book of your choice.
82 + The Other Side of Truth – Quest chain for access to Freya.
82 + Lost and Found – Daily quest in MOS (Monastery of Silence) for buff slot books.
82 + Take Your Best Shot and Handle With Care – Quests for access to the instance Raid Boss and for additional loot for killing it. You can visit the Raid Boss once per hour.
83 + Wings of Sand – A good daily quest in Dragon Valley. It is enough to hit the Raid Boss once and wait for it to die to receive the item. It isn't stated in the quest description, but you can obtain 2 items and receive a x2 reward.

Quests for Adena and Resources

1 + Quest for Fishing Shot – Quest for fishing lures; once you create a character, take the quest.
20 + Grave Robber Annihilation – If you plan to level in the Crypts at a low level, keep in mind that spots with the required mobs have significantly decreased. On HF (High Five), I would ignore this location.

74 + Alliance with Ketra Orcs and Battle against Varka Silenos – Take these if you plan to level in Varka. It is said that the number of items depends on the number of members in the party; this needs to be verified.

76 + Matras' Suspicious Request – Quest for the second Dynasty shoulder; items drop only on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Citadel on Hellbound.
