Guide to Main Quest
In this guide, I’ll try to explain:
- How to skip cutscenes
- How to skip fetch quests
- How to skip boss fights
- How to skip chapters 1-8 without skipping 9-12
- When to main quest
- When not to main quest
- How to repeat main quest
Step 1: Skip the Story
To be able to skip cutscenes on your first playthrough, click on:
- Menu ->
- Settings ->
- System ->
- Skip First Time Mission ->
- ON
This will allow you to skip cutscenes and make main quest go about 5x faster.
If you got impatient and spammed the skip button, here’s a quick recap of the story from each chapter:
Chapter 1
- Fetch quest galore and defeat a dragon. Dragon was actually a zombie but we un-zombified him by kicking his butt.
Chapter 2
- Delivery boy gets critically injured and somehow it’s our problem now. No one else on Earth is able to replace the delivery boy. Nope. It’s gotta be us..
Chapter 3
- ”What’s that? You want to save the world by killing the god of another dimension? Ok, I’ll allow it, but only if you kill 10 chickens first”.
Chapter 4
- ”Oh, you saved the world from a literal god from another dimension? Hmmmm…. I guess we can let you go on a suicide mission for us… But first we need you to mow our lawn”.
Chapter 5
- ”Hey, you know that zombie outbreak back on Earth? Now it’s in the afterlife and we thought it’d be a good idea to send all our soldiers to get infected. Please single-handedly defeat the entire underworld for us”.
Chapter 6
- ”What’s that? You came back from the dead and walked 1000 miles to save Einklang from cyborg corpses? Thank you so much! Now I can keep laying on this bench and not sell you anything”.
Chapter 7
- ”We must bring an end to these atrocities by stealthily defeating an entire empire”.
Chapter 8
- Elbano: ”Ask for directions to Eldenbaum!”
- Player: “Hey boss. Can I have directions to Eldenbaum?”
- Kunon: “I’ll help you, but only if you help my architect!”
- Player: saves architect “Now how do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Kunon: “Lol idk. Ask Daddy”
- Player: “Daddy, how do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Daddy: “I’ll help you, but only if you defeat the thing!”
- Player: Defeats the thing “How do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Daddy: “Lol idk. Ask Seele Zauga”
- Player: “Seele Zauga, how do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Seele Zauga: “I have a message from Heaven!”
- Player: “Are they directions to Eldenbaum?”
- Seele Zauga: “No lol. Go ask Finstern”
- Player: “Finstern, how do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Finstern: “I’ll help you, but only if you defeat me!”
- Player: Defeats him “Now how do I get to Eldenbaum?”
- Finstern: “Lol idk. Go ask Elbano.”.
Chapter 9
- Elbano: “I’ve found another way to Eldenbaum! To guide you, here’s a blind person and a guy who runs off without you”
- “Hey, we found a path! Oh, it’s a dead end.”
- “We found a bridge! Oh, it’s destroyed.”
- “We found a sea! Oh, it’s gone.”
- “We found a teleporter! We can finally transport the troops!”
- Cutscene with troops standing in formation
- Literally none of them fight with us
- Teleported them all here for no reason
- “Guys, we retook Eldenbaum! Minus the bridges, minus the sea, and minus all the houses that got destroyed by the 10,000 monsters that moved in. Also there’s a giant hole in the floor that leads to outer space, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it”||
Chapter 10
- ”Let’s go to outer space! But instead of using our magic wings and the power of Gravity, let’s dig up a 1000 year old boat and let it experience gravity! Also, no one can live within 1000 miles of this mountain. That tiny village to takes 2 seconds to go around? Too much to ask. Everyone pack your bags and get out”
Chapter 11
- ”Wow, what a beautiful blue sky!”
- Heads into the core of a volcano and underground.
- “Wow, what a beautiful blue sky underneath this volcano!” (it’s literally just a boss rush. There’s no real story here aside from “Dragons bad, plant people good.”).
Chapter 12
- A giant crystal that keeps the islands from crashing is being attacked by Coenubia for some reason.
Step 2: Materials
Before you start main quest, it’s wise to buy the materials for the fetch quests beforehand in order to save yourself from having to run around and farm things mid-grind.
The materials are you need are:
Chapter 1:
- Vine x3
- Tough Beak x3
- Fairy Feather x3
Chapter 2:
- Beast Claw x3
- Sand Frog Skin x5
Chapter 3:
- Saham Crystal x5
- Jagged Fang x10
- Spiritual Gemstone x1
Chapter 8:
- Rokoko Grape x5
If you’re a memver of Ravens Inn 3, you can (usually) get these items for free at:
- Sofya City ->
- Consignment Board ->
- Materials ->
- Guild Only
Step 3: Hire a Mercenary or Two
Mercenaries are NPCs that you can hire to help you fight bosses. In main quest, you can also leave every boss battle, click on the bosses, and set them to easy, lowering all of their stats (including their HP) by 90%. This makes main quest bosses so weak, mercenaries can literally solo kill every boss for you during main quest.
To hire a mercenary click:
- Menu ->
- Community ->
- Friend (or guild) ->
- Mercenaries ->
- Find a relatively strong one
However, mercenaries have a sort of “stamina” and will get tired, slow, and weak after one hour of being used. They will only regain their stamina when/if their player logs in again. I.e., if a player has been offline for 99+ days, and you make their mercenary tired, then it’s likely to stay tired forever
You can only hire one mercenary at a time from your friends or guildmates. However, you can also have a “clone,” which is very similar to mercenaries, by clicking:
- Menu ->
- Character ->
- Switch Character ->
- (Your 2nd character) ->
- Register ->
- (Tell it which skills to use) ->
- Accompany
Step 4: Create More Characters
Once you’ve completed Chapter 8 by defeating Finstern the Dark Dragon, you’ll ideally want to create or recreate all of your characters. And, at the very end of character creation, select “Start from Latest.”
Because your latest quest at this point will be chapter 9, this will start all of your characters at the beginning of chapter 9, allowing them to skip the first 8 chapters entirely.
You’ll want preserve chapters 9-13 on each account, however, as these chapters give tons of exp on relatively quick quests. The final main quest, alone, gives 112,000,000 exp.
In total, completing chapters 9, 10, 11, and 12, will give a character 25% of the exp required to reach Lv.270. In other words, by preserving this source of exp on 4 or more characters, you can farm a capped character worth of exp in just one day.
Step 5: Main Quest Until Lv.163
First, let’s look at some raw data
❤️ = exp required to reach the next level.
All others = exp per kill for (almost) every boss.
Although grinding exp from low-level bosses may feel fast, since it requires very little exp / level at the start; lower level bosses like Flre Volg and Masked Warrior actually give pitiful exp compared to late game bosses
For example, it might take you an hour or two to reach Lv.75 by grinding Pova, Bone Dragonewt, Flare Volg, and Masked Warrior. Or you can do Finstern’s main quest and be Lv.75 in 2 minutes. Please, do not waste your time with the early game bosses unless you absolutely have to. They may feel fast, but they’re really, really not
Exp starts to get good at Venena (nightmare), which you can start farming at Lv.162 or Lv.163. Using main quest to get to this point allows you to skip a lot of the early game (low exp / hour) bosses and saves a lot of time.
Step 6: Stop Main Questing
Once you’ve reached Lv.163, you’ll need to alternate between boss rushing and main questing. This is because bosses give the best exp rates when you’re +-5 levels away from them, and there are sometimes “gaps” between bosses. The best way to cross these “gaps” is by relying on main quest exp
The typical leveling path is as such:
- Lv.1 -> Lv.163: Main quest
- Lv.163 -> 179: Venena (nightmare)
- Lv.179 -> Lv.182: Main quest
- Lv.182 -> Lv.199: Venena (ultimate)
- Lv.199 -> 212: Finstern
- Lv.212 -> 226: Kuzto
- Lv.226 -> 228: Main quest
- Lv.228 -> 244: Arachnidemon
- Lv.244 -> 259: Ferzen
- Lv.259+: Pain.
Stopping at Lv.163, and therefore saving most of MQ’s exp for later, allows you to bridge these gaps easily and potentially even skip a boss. Specifically:
- Finstern: Painful for bows and katanas due to only having a 1% physical proration rate (it takes 150 basic attacks or magic attacks for bows and katanas to start dealing their full damage)
- Kuzto: Earth element, low proration rates (5%), huge aoe’s.
- Arachnidemon: Painful for blacksmith tanks because poison; painful for dps because blacksmith tanks went to get milk.
- Ferzen: Requires skill.
- Pain: I highly recommending skipping Pain if at all possible.
Step 7: Adventure Diaries
As much as I love Toram’s gameplay, leveling up at Lv.259+ is actually just painful af. And for several reasons:
- The best exp bosses have no good loot. Unlike Finstern, Kuzto, and Arachnidemon; which allow players to farm exp and spina at the same time; lategame bosses offer one or the other, making the best exp bosses unpopular.
- The bosses with the best loot give smol exp. Mostly because you have to fight them in nightmare mode rather than ulti mode.
- High defense. I.e., if you don’t have physical pierce or magic pierce, you’re basically SOL.
So that just leaves us with main quest exp. But because leveling up now can cost up to 200mil exp / level, and the best main quest only gives 112mil, that source of exp dries up very quickly. How can we get more?
Adventure Diaries. These special items can allow one character to restart main quest from any chapter they’ve already completed. I.e., you can start back at Chapter 9 again, on one character, allowing it to regain all of the main quest exp again
Sources of adventure diaries currently include:
- Given for free during events / collaborations (rare; roughly 2 ADs/year).
- Given for free as livestream codes (RNG-based; but roughly 4 ADs/year).
- Given as a prize for duo-killing Etoise. I.e., you can pay someone 2.5m spina to solo Etoise for you and the game gives you 1 adventure diary (1 AD per account).
- Given as prizes at events; but may require a lot of grinding.
To use these adventure diaries, go to Sofya Library and talk to the NPC in the corner.
