Recommended Key Quest Guide
Welcome to the Recommended Key Quest Guide, written by Billyonaire, AKA BillyBass/BillyBenis. Here I'll be going over the process of what key quests I recommend. Please read the notes below first to understand exactly the process behind this.
Disclaimer
I'm writing this guide with the idea that it is as difficult as possible:
- I will be playing as a Full HP Raccoon with a 2134 build for maximum agony.
- I will NOT be receiving assistance from other characters/accounts/players.
- I will NOT be utilizing AFK drilling.
- I will NOT be doing Episode Quests with the exception of Episode 0.
- I will NOT be grinding to make farming areas easier.
- I will be going in direct order of zones as guided by the key quests, for simplicity.
- I will only be using gear accrued naturally from Key Quests, Eternal Tickets, or lucky drops.
- I will be allowing the use of items from Eternal Penguins as they are a regular rotational event.
- Lastly, and rather importantly, I'll be doing each key quest when possible, but only recommending the easiest ones here.
All of this is done to optimize exactly what quests to do. If this is for your first few characters, or you're not terribly experienced/patient with Trickster, for the love of god do not torture yourself doing this.
With that all out of the way, onto the recommendations!
Desert Beach
Desert Beach is a rather easy Key Quest. I usually do all 7 available quests, then move onto Caballa Relics while I hit 2nd Job and start Episode 1. Honestly, do all 7 if you're patient. Otherwise, do one of the two recommended sets of 5. In this case I did all 7, did not add too much time.
If you need the Town Set: Make sure you do the quests from Al Hauri, Eliza Bath, and Skipper Min. They provide you the set in this case. This is a unique situation, the other zones will require a specific amount of quest-provided materials to create the sets providing much more flexibility.
Quests recommended for set: Eliza Bath, Al Hauri, Skipper Min, Homeless Ian, Bunny Maid
Quests recommended if not going for set: Homeless Ian, Bunny Maid, Al Hauri, Vagabond Eloy, Mirabo Watty
End result: I left at around Lv. 55/47, not bad! New set is nice and is making a difference.
(add tables as needed)
Poppuri Dungeon
Honestly, I haven't run Poppuri Dungeon on many characters given how quickly you level and outpace it in the early game here. You could theoretically skip this with practically no repercussion. Typically I just jump ship and go straight to Caballa after Desert Beach. If you do decide to stick around here, there's plenty of easy quests. Town set isn't bad either as there's a bit of diversity to it.
Caballa Relics
Caballa Relics is where I start to recommend doing the Key Quests again. For Lv. 65 the set is pretty solid and can get you far. Caballa isn't terrible, but you can tell things start to slow down for a bit. If you're a Sense type the UFO pet can be useful.
