	I'm terrified of Ghost Blue. After looking into it, I've noticed that while you only need 10 Stickers there ''17 different quests'' available. Your options really open up here. For you, probably a nice thing as you can find something that really works for you. For me? Arguably gonna be the worst zone yet. I know some of the quests are really "exploitable" in that you can really farm a whole lot less items if you know what you're doing (Cash Box quests), so it's not too bad, but it's not my favorite. Decided that maybe 3rd Job might be ideal at this point.		I'm terrified of Ghost Blue.

			<u>'''Strategy:'''</u>

			Bustin' out the ol' strategy. Grab 10 Cash Boxes, do Lisa's first quest, then Robert's quest, back to Lisa, then do Favian's first. Boom, 4 Stickers, easy. Went on to check a few spots, there's not a whole lot of drill quest surprisingly. I went on to grab Vinosh, La Vida, and Sophia and knock them out. Grabbed an extra 5 Premium Wine for another Favian quest while I was at it. There's a lot of "fluff" quests that I'm trying to avoid, such as Marinel's line and most of the Gate quests (Cochma and Paul are actual sticker quests).

	End result: 143/155. Again, if it weren't for Lethos, Cochma, and Frog Shaman, this zone wouldn't have taken so long. Frog Shaman is especially bad given they want 15 Whale Jawbones which seem to be the rarest drill item here. Otherwise I think it's really not a terrible zone, if you focus the 7/8 quests you need to do the area, you can really knock this zone without too much effort. It's a bit of a grind but it definitely felt like this wasn't as bad as Oops Wharf in comparison. If you really need extra levels, go through Lethos and maybe do Guard Gilbert's extra quest. It's not too terrible.		End result: 143/155. Again, if it weren't for Lethos, Cochma, and Frog Shaman, this zone wouldn't have taken so long.

			== Intermission: 3rd Job ==
			Given that I'd hit some pretty decent levels, farmed Daily Quests regularly, and valued my sanity, I decided to go for 3rd Job before Ghost Blue. Th opportunity was there, so why not? Going in I was at 144/161 (because of all the Dailies I farmed). Farmed up my items, which was much easier than anticipated.

			I did break the rules a lil and did Blacksmith Marx's Snow Mine quest. My goal here was to get a Harkon while not losing my marbles.Not too bad either.

	Yep, we're bustin' out ''strategies'' now! I'd recommend saving your first 25 Lip Gloss and turning it into Prince Sebastian, which allows you to grab Fairy Asrai's first quest. This will boost your drilling rate for Whale Jawbones, if you're (god forbid) doing Frog Shaman. Also, do ''all'' of your drilling in Field 1 as it has all the quest items you can need. Field 2/4 also have some items, so double-check and verify you don't need other items from the other fields first to confirm.		Yep, we're bustin' out ''strategies'' now!

			Regional Currency needed:

			25 for full set (with accessory)

			20 for Gunner/Paula (with accessory)

			Quests Recommended (7/9 needed): La Vida 1 & 2, Prince Sebastian 1 & 2, Sea Spirit Rumo 1 & 2, Fairy Asrai, Guard Gilbert, Marin

			Quests needed for sets: La Vida 1 & 2, Prince Sebastian 1 & 2, Fairy Asrai and Rumo 1 & 2 nets you 21 Scales. Throw in Guard Gilbert ''or'' Marin and you should hit 25. Gilbert is better if you hate drilling, otherwise do Marin.

			Paula/Gunner: Simply do the first 7 quests mentioned, it'll get you all the scales you need.

	Ah, Oops Wharf. This is a zone I've done plenty of times. The slog of Caballa goes away in favor of something more mob-focused. While it still always felt slow to me, it's really not so bad. The Gate quests make for some decent early levels. The ''real'' issue is the ~~existence of~~ the Frog Shaman ~~and~~ Genius Cochma quests. ~~Great~~ for ~~exp~~, ~~horrible~~ if you just want a ~~sticker~~. ~~I think they need~~ to ~~be changed~~.		Ah, Oops Wharf. This is a zone I've done plenty of times. The drilling slog of Caballa goes away in favor of something more mob-focused. While it still always felt slow to me, it's really not so bad if you know where to focus. The Gate quests make for some decent early levels. The ''real'' issue is that some of the quests are just objectively worse than others, and repeating NPC quests start showing up. Personally I think with some analysis and adjustment, they could be great.

			For the specific quests to avoid:

			Frog Shaman - While the drops are specific, it's a helluva slog. Not worth it.

			Genius Cochma - The least offensive of the three I'm saying dodge. You might actually get the items for these quest while doing the (much superior) Fortune Teller quests.

			Lethos - Why is this an Oops Wharf sticker? Everything comes from Path to ''Mermaid Palace.'' This one SUCKS. And so do you, Lethos.

			Note: This will most likely become a repeating pattern. These quests are notorious for being ''very'' long (4 individual quests for 1 sticker after completing the 4th) and usually extremely tedious as a result.

			'''<u>Regional Currency Needed:</u>'''

			52 for the full set

			42 for Paula and gunner

			Quest Recommended (7): Rosemary, Sophia, Grandpa Tango, Fortune Teller (1-3), Explorer Reina

			Quests needed for sets: Most quests provide 5 Shells on average. I'd do all the recommended above, plus Officer Tera 1-2 and Miguel. This ''should'' put you at <u>exactly</u> 52 Shells.

			Paula/Gunner: Just do Fortune Teller 1-3 for the 18 Shells, then add on 5 quests of choice (probably Rosemary, Grandpa Tango, Explorer Reina and Officer Tera 1-2)

			End result: 123/130. This would've taken a ''fraction'' of the time had I skipped Cochma, Shaman, and Lethos. Lethos is ''especially'' egregious here as technically that's Mermaid Palace. Why does he give an Oops Wharf sticker? I want my money back. Also distinctly noticed there isn't any TM quests here, minus Monkey_T's grass quest. Oops Wharf can be sped through very quickly if you just avoid the right quests, primarily due to the Path to Oops Wharf being buffed greatly and there being a lot of quests there. Yes, you ''could'' skip Oops Wharf but there's some decent and ''very'' fast EXP available within the gate. Just make sure you bully Cochma, it is the correct thing to do.

			== Mermaid Palace ==
			And here's when the game starts to really bully you. I always remember Mermaid Palace being the place where I had to worry about my health. I also remember being here for ''hours'' in the original, just farming various items. This is also where some of the quests become ''so'' tedious that I'm debating whether or not me actually grinding them is a good idea. Please send help. Mermaid Palace is also unique in that it does ''not'' have a town, and it was designed with the next zone being Mirage Island, which is a Story-exclusive area. Which I won't have access to. Wonderful.

			For the specific quests to avoid:

			NOTE: I'm writing this one ahead of time. Yeah, it's that bad.

			Frog Shaman - You want me to drill a rare item? HAH. Nope''.'' Thankfully, most of the other items are dropped by monsters who have other drops so he's not too egregious.

			Cochma - Cochma is the true evil here. Quest 3 and 4 are both requests for drill items, exclusive to Fields 1/2. Not worth the time or effort, easily.

			Lethos - from the worst to the best. Lethos is on here solely because, surprise, he's got 4 quests with no real reason. He's the "best" of the worst, with only a brief drill grind before grinding dungeon items. He's honestly not too bad here, so long as you can kill Tanya without suffering greatly.
