Test Of The Searcher

Treasure & Bounty Hunters; plains & Abyss Walkers

1. 1

   Talk to Master Luther (Hunters' Village ). He explains that the Mark of the Searcher is a recognition of one's 'uncover- ing' skills. In order to pass the test, you must receive a recom- mendation from the former best scout of the kingdom, Alex.

2. 2

   Talk to Alex (Floran Village ).

3. 3

   Alex sends you to find his cohort, Militiaman Leirynn, near the bridge to the westernmost windmill south of town.

4. 4

   Leirynn tells you to kill 10 Delu Lizardman Shamans. Delu Shamans can be found northeast of Giran Harbor. Caution: once attacked, they summon friends!

5. 5

   Return to Leirynn once you have 10 Delu Totems. She tells you to kill Delu Chief Kalkis. Kalkis can be found on the coast, just northeast of Giran Harbor (57K, 180K).

6. 6

   Return to Leirynn again. She tells you to take Kalkis' strange map to Alex.

7. 7

   Alex sends you to talk to Drunkard Borys (Gludio ).

8. 8

   Borys sends you to get him some wine from Tyra, east of the Altar of Rites. The easiest way to get to her is to teleport to the Dark Elven Village, then teleport to the southern end of the Dark Forest. Tyra is right there, by the red tents.

9. 9

   Tyra sends you to the Sea of Spores to hunt Giant Fungus for 10 Red Spore Dust.

10. 10

    Once you have 10 Dust, return to Tyra. She gives you the wine.

11. 11

    Go back to Borys and give him the wine. He tells you to find Bodyguard Jax at the south entrance to the Wastelands (with Traders Sorien and Rolento). Either run there or teleport directly there from Gludin.

12. 12

    Jax tells you that your map is just a quarter of the big map. He tells you to kill Road Scavengers and Hangman Trees to get the other 2 quarters, and that he'll give you his quarter if you get them.

13. 13

    Hunt Road Scavengers (at the north end of Death Pass) until you get 4 Torn Map Pieces.

14. 14

    Hunt Hangman Trees (in the Execution Ground, around the giant guillotine) until you get 4 Torn Map Pieces.

15. 15

    Return to Jax. He puts the map together, and then marks your world map. Open your world map and find the red ribbon north of Floran and west of Dion Castle (10K, 157K).

16. 16

    As you get closer, start to use the radar — use the blinking yellow light to get closer and closer. It leads you to a tree … a tree that you can talk to!

17. 17

    Talk to the Tree. It gives you the option to dig. Dig, and uncov- er a Strong Wooden Box and Rusted Key. The key will go into your inventory; the box will appear next to you. Talk to the box to open it.

18. 18

    Take the Gold Bars to Alex. He gives you his recommendation.

19. 19

    Return to Luther in Hunters' Village. He gives you the Mark of the Searcher.
