Tips
- In Harth, a special service allows you to use Battered Equipment and Abrasive items to craft random, potentially powerful armor and weapons.
- For the Tetsucabra quest, aim for its giant tusks on its lower jaw to break them for rare materials and to complete the subquest.
- Tetsucabra armor is a good choice for Low Rank due to its defensive skills.
- For the Gypceros quest, you don't need specific Gypceros materials; just completing the quest is sufficient.
- For the 'Road Work' capture quest, bring Shock Traps, Pitfall Traps, and Tranq Bombs or Tranq Ammo. The supply box provides an EZ Shock Trap and EZ Tranq Bombs.
- Remember to bring paintballs for tracking monsters.
- Nerscylla is tougher than Tetsucabra; ensure you have good armor and a weapon with at least Green sharpness.
- The Ace Hunters are introduced after the Nerscylla quest; they are plot devices and can be ignored.
- Prepare your item bag and item box for potential sea encounters, as the sea is described as dangerous.
- Complete non-key quests to earn achievements.
- Harvest Tour quests allow gathering materials for 50 minutes. Delivering a Paw Pass Ticket from the blue box to the red item box completes the quest.
- Rhenoplos charge aggressively; they primarily spawn in area 8 of the Sunken Hollow.
- For the 'Kecha Wacha Wallop' quest, slay 5 Konchu for the subquest.
- Crystal Bones are account items found via mining in specific areas (2, 3, 8, 9) of the Sunken Hollow.
- For the 'Fish Wish' quest, deliver 4 Small Goldenfish, not regular Goldenfish. Fishing is in Area 2 of the Sunken Hollow.
- The 'Research: Basarios' quest allows you to hunt a Basarios in the Everwood. The first time you do it, you start mounted, making the subquest easy. This is an urgent quest but not mandatory.
