Objective : Clair Character Card
Prerequisite : Claude (any level), a lot of patience or a lot of luck
- Talk to Clair using any character to initiate quest.
- Put Claude into active team and with Claude as leader, talk to Clair.
- Remove Claude from active team and talk to Clair again using any other character.
- Go to Cite de Reboldoeux and talk to Claude.
- Return to Clair and talk to her twice to accept a new quest.
- Go to Port of Coimbra and talk to Jose twice.
- Return to Jose with an Avocado Sandwich. (Available from Lisa.) There are two choices for the next part:
- start an instanced mission to fight 3 lvl65 Escudo Pechers, and talk to Jose again after the mission, or
- pay 500,000 Vis and 50 Family Reputation.
- Buy an Elemental Jewel (costs 10,000,000 Vis) from the Item Dealer in City of Auch and return to Clair.
- Talk to the following 3 NPCs:
- Vicente Rio in City of Auch,
- Emilia in Port of Coimbra, and
- Reboldoeux Investigator (Reboldoeux Investigation Team) in Cite de Reboldoeux.
- Return to Clair to receive the worst part of her recruitment quest. The quest requires the hunting of Elite Storm Cockatrices (not the purple boss, but elite version of the normal cockatrice) at Bonavista River for 2 quest items. Both the Elite Storm Cockatrice and the quest item are rare.
- Talk to Clair.
- Talk to Claude.
- Return to Clair to receive Clair Character Card.
Squading is strongly recommended for the part involving Elite Storm Cockatrices. The kill count is shared, and all squad members within range will get the chance to roll for the quest item individually. Whether one gets the item is still up to the individual's luck, but at least members of the squad will be sharing the kills instead of competing with each other. Members in a squad that covers a decently sized area have a far better chance of completing the quest within a reasonable amount of time than a soloist.
Quest item drops are automatically added to inventory and are not affected by drop-rate penalties from level differences. Using a triple-range team with characters who are capable of killing mobs in 1 hit is strongly recommended.
It took me close to 130 hours of afk-ing in Bonavista River to complete the hunt. There were some in my squad who completed it within a day, and there were many others still stuck at 0 when I was done.
