Quest To Upgrade Gathering Grade Level

You can't collect Grade D or higher grade mineral? or Gemstone? or Plant?
That's because your Gathering level is not high enough to collect higher grade materials.

I think now it's time for the quest for leveling up your Gathering level.
Unlike Crafting Skill level which always leveled up with each time you produced a new stuffs, Gathering level can only leveled up if your experience is max and you finish the quest for that corresponding level.
Well if your Gathering level isn't get higher, you can't collect higher grade mineral, thus you also can't produce higher grade crafted stuffs, ultimately your crafting skill will also stuck, in the end you can't produce higher/better stuffs.
So I will give you the guide on how to do those quest.

Grade E > Grade D Quest

Quest to get your Gathering to D Level. It's very easy.
1. Max your gathering bar first keep gathering the material of your choice(mineral, gem, or plant). Press C and click the Gathering tab to see your gathering exp bar. If it's full then proceed to the next step.
2.Talk to Colek NPC at Crafting Studio and accept the quest to upgrade your Gathering level to grade D.
3.You need to collect 20 piece of each kind of materials for your job gathering type. For example : if you are on gemstone, then you need 20 Green Mano, 20 Imperial Topaz, 20 Cat's Eye, 20 Aquamarine and 20 Spinel. Grade E.
4. When done report to Colek and your Gathering level will upgraded. Now you can collect Grade D materials.

You can buy the next grade equipment for Gathering and Crafting at NPC Kinsendel inside Black Dragon Sanctuary. He also sells blueprints for the grade D. Be sure to buy some so you can produce higher grade and gain more crafting level.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Grade D > Grade C Quest

1. Maximize your skill at Grade D first which is 125 point. Check your Gathering bar always.
2. Now go to Crafting Studio and accept the new quest from Colek NPC.
3. After this, go to Black Dragon Sanctuary to meet your next NPC. You can go there via Tormaline Quarry Entry Bindstone and go South from there. Buy the portal stone at Arbelorn Sundries if you didn't have it.
4. When you arrived, depending on your Gathering type job, you need to speak with certain NPC.
For Gemstone, you have to speak with Laine NPC, she is inside BD Sanctuary, just after the first turn near entrance. There are many Eyeball monsters nearby that is quite dangerous if you are underleveled. Be careful.
For Mineral, you have to speak with Giff NPC, he is just in front of Laine NPC.
For Plant, you have to speak with Chubchub NPC, but he is outside BD Sanctuary. Look for him just nearby the entrance.

Laine NPC

Chubchub NPC

Giff NPC

All of them will ask help to recover their gathering equipment. Different NPC has different equipment and the location is also different(rest easy you have me to tell you where).
The problem is, they are all inside the sanctuary, and many dangerous monsters lurk inside. You have to be very careful and have a good gear to survive the journey. I'm not joking!

Here's the location.

Yellow Square indicating room with Laine's equipment. You can find her equipment in this room.

Green Square indicating room with Giff's equipment. You can find his equipment in this room.

Red Square indicating room with Hoyar/Chubchub's equipment. You can find his equipment in this room. Be careful there's a BOSS in this room.

Laine quest

Chubchub quest

Giff quest

5. After you recover the thing, go report back to the corresponding NPC(Plant = Chubchub, Gemstone = Laine, Mineral = Giff)
6. Finish, now you can gather grade C materials.

Oh and you can upgrade your equipment for collecting into Grade C equipment. If your crafting level is 11 now, you can also upgrade your crafting equipment and start to produce Grade C stuffs.
The equipment and blueprints can be bought from NPC Siselone at Rahkon Dungeon Lv1.
To get to him fast follow my guide.

Buy Portal Rahkon Dungeon Lv2 at Gathering Hall.
Now use it and you will be ported to Rahkon Dungeon Lv2.
Go to the gate portal nearby to be ported to Rahkon Dungeon Lv1.
When you arrive at Rahkon Dungeon Lv1, look  for Siselone NPC nearby.

Siselone NPC

Buy the stuffs you need to maximize your performance of gathering.
NOTE : This is the best Crafting and Gathering Equipment which is at Grade C. 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grade C > Grade B Quest

This one is pretty simple.
Go to your respective NPC in Black Dragon Sanctuary(Mineral = Giff, Gemstone = Laine, Plant = Chubchub) and accept the quest.
They will give you a very simple quest, which is testing your knowledge about which one is the material they will ask you to determine.
Behind each of these NPC there are 5 type of material that we are used to collect in the world map. Now you are to choose which one is the correct material they asked.
Just choose one.
If by any chance you messed up, or chose wrong material, you can quit the quest via press "J" and choose quit and go to the NPC to start it again. Very easy.
When you chose the correct material, the quest will be completed and report back to your corresponding NPC. Gratz you are now Grade B collector level.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grade B > Grade A Quest

Maxed your Grade B collection skill level?

Alright this prolly the hardest quest because you need to be in a very high level and strong. We will venture inside Rahkon Dungeon Lv4(R4)

First go to Gathering Hall and buy Rahkon Dungeon Lv3 Portal Stone.
Use it and you will be ported inside R3. Now you need to travel into the portal that will lead you to R4.
Below the map and the Green Square indicated the room where the portal to R4 lies. Follow the Green Arrow to reach that room fast. Be careful many monster with high level lurks along the corridor.

Rahkon Dungeon Lv3 Map.

 After you arrive there, go to the gate portal to be ported to R4.

The gate portal in R3 will send you randomly to one of the four room in R4. In those 4 room, there's a portal that you can use to go back to R3 again You need to be in the room in the Green Square. If you are not in the Green Square room(which is where the NPCs is), go back to R3 using the nearby portal and re enter R4. Keep repeating until you are in the Green Room in R4. Refer to the map below for Green Room. If it still won't let you port to the Green Room, then sadly you need to manually travel there first.

Rahkon Lv4 Map

`Now talk to your corresponding NPC. Teebon(the gemstone), Twin(Mineral), and Haigee(Plant). Accept the quest.

Gemstone Quest : You need to find Black Stone.
Mineral Quest : You need to find Tungsten.
Plant Quest : You need to find Golden Tree.

Below is the room where you can find these items.

Rahkon Lv4 Map

Green Room : Black Stone
Red Room : Golden Tree
Yellow Room : Tungsten.

Remember, go back to R3 and Re-enter R4 just so you get teleported to the nearest portal to the room where the item lies.

WARNING : There is a BOSS in every room in this map. You want to be in high level and geared properly to survive this map. The hardest is getting the Tungsten, there are many stun monsters along the way.

I only give screenshot to Black Stone which is my path for Gemstone. But the other items should be in the room I indicated with the Colored Square. When you done, report back to the corresponding NPC. Congratulations! You are Grade A for Gathering skill level.

Now you are in the highest level of Gathering. What are you waiting for? Go maximize your Crafting level too and create a great quality stuffs.
Happy crafting :)

Crafting Job To Make Crafted Weapon, Armor, Accessory, and etc

Last Update: 22 January 2018

So you decided to become a craftsman and create your own equipment?
Alright then, but I have to tell you that, this is not an easy path.
If you think that by becoming a craftman and you can become rich fast, then I suggest you to stop and forget about it. The way of craftsman is the way of patience. It needs a lot of time and patience before you can finally become a steady professional craftsman and create quality equipment.

 So now, why craftsman? And what equipment it will produced? Is there any benefit by becoming a craftsman?
Well, have you ever see an equipment with a certain name like Artisan Katar IV or Craftman Armor II or maybe Chimera Armor, or Tali's Mace, or Sage Zhen? Anyone?
Yes they are categorized as CRAFTED equipment, the characteristic features of these equipments are they have grade quality for the weapon and armor which indicating how many sockets it has. Also for the accessory like Artisan Spinel Ring III or Craftman Green Mano Ring IV, they can be reinforced using item called Armor Reinforcement Stone(ARS). ARS can also be created by a craftsman or you can buy ARS V or ARS VI at IM. Armor can also be reinforced with ARS. To reinforce weapon you need Weapon Reinforcement Stone instead.

Sockets, what is sockets? Sockets are a slot in a crafted weapon or armor used to insert a spirit stone in order to give a certain stats upon them. You should be aware that Forged Weapon or Forged Armor usually has stats like Melee Attack %, or Damage Drop %, or +str, or abs hp or abs mp and such. Now for Crafted weapon or crafted armor they usually come plain with no stats at all. Spirit Stone which can also be created by craftsman will have a certain stats and if inserted into the socket slot of a crafted weapon or armor, makes it has that stats. Be aware that weapon spirit stone and armor spirit stone is different, you cannot insert a weapon spirit stone into armor socket and vice versa. Also spirit stone is not permanent, usually ranging from 3D, 7D, and 30D depends on the spirit stone used.
The good thing from this is that the weapon can be very flexible. You can always change option stats of the weapon, while the downside is you will never have a permanent option stats, means you need to keep prepare another spirit stones for future use.

So now let's see...
If you are here that means you are really determined to be a craftsman eh?
OK let's go.

First go to the Craftsman Studio via NPC Fishing Hole/Crafting Studio in the town.

NPC Fishing Hole/Crafting Studio in Arbelorn

Talk to NPC Kacie near the Treasury.

There are 4 type of craftsman.

1. Weapon Craftsman
2. Armor Craftsman
3. Accessories Craftsman
4. Spirit Stone Craftsman

You need to choose one, what stuff you want to produce? You decide yourself. I'm going for Accessories.

After that you need to know what goods you need to collect according to your craft job.
Go to NPC Colek and choose your Gathering job type.
There are 3 jobs.
For Weapon and Armor Craftsman you need to collect Mineral.
For Accessories Craftsman you need to collect Gemstone.
For Spirit Stone Craftsman you need to collect Plant.

So because I chose accessory as my craftsman job I will choose Gathering Gemstone .

WARNING : Don't choose wrong job because to reset you need a lot of crones like 1m or 2m. More over for reseting craftsman job(just so you can change to other type) you will reset all your level for your current craftsman type. Do not do this ever!

Alright the basic preparation for becoming a craftsman is done. Now what?
Still asking? Of course start crafting so you can produce the stuff and level up your crafting level for that type you chose.
But how? OMG. Should I explain it all? Well, fine.

At this time Kacie will give you a quest, it is an easy quest, with reward a lv2 blueprint which is good.
The quest is easy, you just need to talk with the NPC processor of your craftsman gathering type.
i.e : I chose Accessories and Gemstone so I will look for NPC Lond, and talk to him. For Weapon and Armor mineral talk to Lakins. For Spirit Stone plant talk to Biwoo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next I need to go to the crafting device of my type. For me it is Accessory Workbench. For Weapon and Armor it should be Anvil, For Spirit Stone it should be a Magic Table or such(I forgot the name, but it should be near around there Tool Workbench if not mistaken).
Now talk back to Kacie and I think the quest is over and she will reward you with the blueprint. I think for weapon and armor craftsman you need to choose your reward.

After this, go to NPC Link to buy your equipment and some blueprint Lv1, just so you know the recipe for the stuff you want to produce. Buy the blueprint in the Blueprint tab. Choose blueprint that you can learn(register). Crafting level required : 1 << Because we are still at lv1.
Oh and buy your job type. For me I buy Craftsman Cat's Eye Ring I.

Now go to Equiment tab, buy your equipment for crafting and gathering. and then equip all of that by double clicking the equipment you already bought. Again buy the equipment that is fit for your job, or else you can't equip it.

Done with all of that?
Time to open your very first blueprint(I'm sure you already registered the blueprint you bought right?)
Open Character window (Press C) then click Production Tab, then click Blueprint button at the bottom of your crafting equipment gear status. Then you will greeted by Blueprint List window/
Look screenshot, the equipment info for crafting. Click on Blueprint button below that Information.
Depending on your craftsman type you will see different list. This is the list for Accessories craftsman.
There are 2 stuffs that an Accessory craftsman can produce.
First is Accessories like Ring, secondly is Stone for reinforcing crafted weapon of armor(including ring).
The first slot is the main recipe list for crafting ring, the second slot in list is for the reinforcement stone(indicated with white stone mini picture).


Now search for the blueprint you already registered. It should be poped up in the list. In my case it's Craftsman Cat Eye Ring I. Go click it and click Confirm.




You will see the Blueprint information. Ultimately the recipe for producing the stuff in that blueprint.
Several materials are needed.

From top to bottom :

• Grade E Crystal(can be D, C, B, A depends on the stuff's grade)
• Gemstone Essence(for weapon/armor and spirit stone it's different)
• Grade E Shappire(can be D, C, B, A depends on the stuff's grade) 
• Grade E Extraction Option Stone(can be D, C, B, A depends on the stuff's grade)

These followed by number, that means you need that amount for each materials before you can start craft the stuff.

Now how we can get these freaky materials?


1. Crystal
Grade E Crystal(Or any higher level crystal) can be obtained from extracting a Unique/Ancient armor or weapon in the Extraction Pulverizer. What is Extraction Pulverizer? Look screenshot below.

That machine can be found in Crafting Studio area. Just put the item you want to extract and click Extract.
For Grade E Crystal a Froianne is enough. I believe Pluion will gives you Grade D, Edwin gives you Grade C, Bedron will gives you Grade B, and finally Glacial will gives you Grade A, ouch for the last.

2. Gemstone Essence(Weapon/Armor and Spirit Stone has their processing material type, Ingot and Solution if not mistaken)
You can obtain this by processing the material you collecting in the world map.
Mineral for weapon/armor, Gemstone for accessory, and Plant for spirit stone.
There are 5 kind of each material. For example :
Mineral has Panadium, Atrium, Sedrium, etc.
In order to get 1 Ingot, you need to process 10 same kind of a material.
10 Sedrium = 1 Ingot or 10 Atrium = 1 Ingot. Both formula will result in same kind of Ingot, don't worry.
You can't mix it like 5 Sedrium and 5 Atrium = 1 Ingot << This can't be happening.
You can process the materials you gathered at the corresponding NPC of your job.
Lakins for Weapon/Armor mineral.
Biwoo for Spirit Stone plant.
Lond for Accessory gemstone.
Oh and you need to buy special supplies in Link or Panda NPC in order to process the material.

3.Grade E Shappire(Astantine for mineral and I forgot for plant, seed or whatever).

This is a rare material that you can only obtain during gathering. When you are gathering a mineral, there's a chance you can obtain these rare mineral together with the normal material.
Example :
When you gathering a Grade E Green Mano gemstone, you may also obtain Grade E Shappire.
the chance rate can get higher with better equipment you wear for gathering.


4. Grade E Extraction Option Stone.
Alright this is the hardest material to obtain.
Actually it is the same like getting Crystal, however you need to use a good weapon/armor with nice stats on it. Example : Froianne with some stats like pdef, mdef, mana recovery, or hp recovery.

At higher grade for example : Grade D,C,B or A. You need a high stats on the armor/weapon you will extract, some even have a minimum stats requirement to make sure it will gives you the Extraction Option Stone.

Below the list of the Extraction Option Stone and the stats requirements on corresponding armor or weapon that is needed in order to get at least 1 Extraction Option Stone during extraction.

• Grade E Extraction Option Stone
  Froianne or Pluion with stats ranging from 5-20
  Example : Froiane with pdef +5 or mana recovery +5. The important thing is, it should have at least one stat with number more than 5 but below 15. Even if you have pdef, mdef, mana recovery, hp recovery, but none of that has number more than 5, it won't give you the EOS.
• Grade D Extraction Option Stone
  Pluion or Edwin with stats ranging from 16-30
• Grade  C Extraction Option Stone
  Pluion or Edwin or Bedron with stats ranging from 31-50
• Grade B Extraction Option Stone
  Edwin or Bedron with stats ranging from 51-70
• Grade A Extraction Option Stone
  Edwin or Bedron or Glacial with stats ranging from 71-more OUCH!!

There an easy way to get armor with stats. You can buy armor/weapon in NPC but choose I want to buy Magic shop instead of General. The price is more expensive, but it will give you random stats on the armor/weapon. I suggest you to stick with armor extracting, because weapon has many more type of stats which makes it harder to reach the minimum stats requirement, and also weapon is more expensive.

Here's a video footage on how to make Grade B EOS.

5. Special Material
Special material is a material that is needed for crafting Artisan type stuffs. You should probably aware that there are 2 type of crafted stuffs. First is Craftman type and the second one is Artisan type.
To craft Artisan stuff, there are 1 more material/ingredient we need. That is Special material.

• For Gemstone the special material is Diamond
• For Mineral I believe it's Strontium
• Again I forgot for Plant. Sorry. But you should be able to see it on the blueprint Artisan recipe(update : it is Fruit).

To obtain this special material, you need to process the rare material for each group of gathering material.

Once you get all the materials, go to to your responsible workbench and choose the blueprint of the stuff you want to produce.

Alright now you know the drill on how to produce your crafted stuffs. What are you waiting for? Keep producing to raise your Crafting Skill level so you can start on higher grade stuffs. I believe at lv6 or 7 skil you can start to produce grade D stuffs. Example : Craftsman Cats Eye Bracer II
Go now and become the master craftsman.
