Activities[edit | edit source]

Duties[edit | edit source]

The Wanderer's Palace Dungeon Level 50 Item level 45 The Wanderer's Palace (x25 y23)
Decades of kobold mining deep beneath O'Ghomoro gradually weakened upper La Noscea to the point that when the Calamity struck, the land surrounding Bronze Lake collapsed, draining its waters and revealing a palace of unparalleled beauty. Thought to have been built by the Nymian civilization, which thrived in the area some fifteen centuries ago, the palace appears to have been dedicated to their patron deity, Oschon, the Wanderer. In search of the bounty she may hold, treasure hunters have already begun to delve into this forsaken place...but will treasure be the only thing they find?
The Wanderer's Palace (Hard) Dungeon Level 50 Item level 90 The Wanderer's Palace (x25 y23)
Bound no more by the rancor of their fallen king, the tonberries have regained their senses─with a little help from devoted friends. Yet all thoughts of peace have been put to the blade, as a band of Mamool Ja mercenaries known as the Silverscales have stormed the walls and seized the place for their own. Someone must stop the sellswords from turning the Wanderer's Palace into an unassailable fortress, and take a stand against tonberry slaughter and slavery!
The Navel Trial Level 34 Zelma's Run (x29 y18)
Having passed the seemingly endless trials imposed upon you by the Company of Heroes, you have been entrusted with the knowledge of a secret way into the Navel, the domain of the primal Titan. Courtesy of Y'shtola's magicks, the beastman aetheryte is now primed to send you to a confrontation with the Lord of Crags. Gird your loins for a struggle of titanic proportions.

Poor Maid's Misadventure	20-25	Poor Maid's Mill (x11 y24)	15 minutes	Defeat the greater buffalo.
Poor Maid's Misadventure	If it isn't diseased rats, thieving kobolds, or bloodthirsty coeurls threatening to undo all the Salthounds have accomplished at Poor Maid's Mill, it's frenzied buffaloes looking to stomp the old farmstead into oblivion.

Giant Enemy Crab	21-26	Oakwood (x14 y24)	15 minutes	Defeat Karkinos.
Giant Enemy Crab	A crab released into Bronze Lake by Qiqirn so that the beastmen might harvest its sweet eggs has grown into an uncontrollable nuisance.

Nine-ilm Snails	Not a day passes without the physickers of the Warmwine Sanitorium having to clean their bathing pools of uragnite hatchlings, and they have had enough. They seek volunteers to hunt down and slay the root of the problem─the adult creatures laying the eggs in the springs.
Shell Shocked	31-36	Bronze Lake (x28 y24)	15 minutes	Defeat Zoredonite.
Shell Shocked	Heated by the molten rock coursing deep below O'Ghomoro, the waters of Bronze Lake are warm year-round. This unique environment has allowed creatures, which normally only grow to a few ilms, to balloon into terrifying monstrosities. The wavekin Zoredonite is one such abomination.
Peeping Ja	33-38	Bronze Lake (x28 y23)	15 minutes	Defeat Scarface Bugaal Ja.
