Idiot's Guide to Sillien Saint (3rd class change quest)

This is an explicit guide of the 3rd class change quest "Saga of A Shillien Saint". It is based on MiseryLou's guide (published at both stratics and ign.vault), incorporating info from Vampyress guide at aktik.net. I have added all those wee tips I wish I had been told before starting the quest, as well as information about teleports, positions and links to external guides. GL and Don't Panic.

0. The quest starts at level 76, however make sure you finish some required sub-quests before hiting lvl 76 since they take ages:

• Finest Ingredients (part 1) at lvl 74 and


• Alliance with Ketra Orcs (or Varka Silenos) at lvl 73.

Both are included in this guide in blue letters.

1. Start the quest at Magister Anastia at Hardin's Private Academy. She will tell you to go visit Saint of Light (Agnes) in Goddard Castle Town.

2. Visit Saint of Light (Agnes) in Goddard Castle Town (Hardins -> Hunters -> Aden -> Goddard). She will be marked on your map, if you have location checked in your quest tab.

3. Saint of Light will send you to Chef Duncan at Hot Springs, to bring her some food. Duncan needs an ice crystal to keep the food fresh. If you already have the ice crystal, proceed to step 5.

4. To get the ice crystal, you need to talk to Chef Jeremy at HS, and start quest The Finest Ingredients (part 1) at lvl 73. Kill 50 Hot Springs Bandersnatchlings (caution Bandersnatch is not the same mob as Bandersnatchling), 50 Hot Springs Nepenthes and 50 Hot Springs Atrox/Atroxspawn (both should give the item). This is a party quest, so you don't have to kill them by yourself. When you have the 3x50 quest items, go back to Jeremy, and he will give you Cryolite and a jar of soy sauce.

5. Now talk to Duncan and he will give you food (offering) for the saint.

6. Return to the saint in Goddard Castle Town with the food, and she will give you Resonance Amulet 1.

7. Now port to Northern Pathway of Enchanted Valley from Hunter's Village (Goddard-> Aden-> Hunters-> North EV). Look at your map, and go to the yellow pin. Go around Enchanted Valley to get to the tablet. The walk is completely safe. Talk to the tablet (no, nothing will appear, don't worry).

8. Now you need to go to the northeastern part of Valley of Saints (Aden-> Oren-> Rune-> VoS), as noted on your map. You will find a whole bunch of angels (Quest Monster - Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge). Kill until you get Resonance Amulet 2. You do not have to kill it by yourself, you just need last hit. We had to kill all the bunch before I get the amulet. Then speak to the Tablet of Vision, right next to the angels.

9a. The next tablet you need to go to, is north of Border Outpost (Rune-> Oren-> Aden-> Ancient Battleground then walk).

9b. The tablet was a bit difficult to locate, so I noted the coordinates just in case they are of any use: 119363, -28768, -3768. You can see your location using the /loc command.

9c. When you talk to it, it will summon a quest monster, which you will need to kill by yourself. Buff yourself with Might, Shield and Guidance. The monster will curse you with the opposite of might, shield and guidance. When the monster debuffs you with either buff, you buff yourself again to get rid of the debuffs - it's important. Someone rooted the mob and used a Bow of Peril to kill it. I used my kesh*kesh+3 with my own melee buffs and a haste potion. It worked.

9d. When you kill it, you will earn Resonance Amulet 3.

10. Talk to the tablet again.

11. Go see Magister Kamilen at Dark Elven Guild in Goddard. You will be asked to ally with either the Ketra Orcs or the Varka Silenos. I picked the Orcs, so this is the side I will describe in this guide. If you already have alliance level 2 with either Ketra or Varka, you can proceed to get the water quest, as described later in the guide (step 17b).

NB: The alliance quests (either Ketra or Varka) can both be started at lvl 74.

12. Go to the Ketra Orc Stronghold (Outpost) near Goddard: exit Goddard from its North exit and just walk for 10 secs (no mobs on the way). As you increase the level of the alliance, you gain access to shops, raid bosses and other quests from the Ketra Orcs. While gaining higher levels of the alliance, if you or any of your party members kill any Ketra Orcs, you will lose your alliance and your mark of ally will be downgraded one level. Since you are doing this quest for the 3rd class transfer quest, you must complete at least the Strengthen the alliance quest (alliance level 2).

13. Talk to Ketra's Messenger Wahkan, at the entrance of the Ketra Orc Stronghold (Outpost). He will ask you to obtain 100 badges of Varka Soldiers.

14. Go to Varka Silenos Outpost, and kill Recruits, Footmen, Scouts, Hunters and Shamans. This is a party quest. You cannot hit/do harmful magic to any Ketra Orcs once you've started this quest, nor be in party with anyone who harms Ketra Orcs, or you will lose your badges.

15. When you have collected 100 badges, go back and talk to Wahkan at Ketra Orc Stronghold (Outpost). You now have Mark of Ketra's Alliance level 1. Ketra Orcs will no longer aggro you when you go through the Ketra Orc Outpost. In addition, you can begin the next level of the quest, which is "Strengthen the Alliance."

16. Proceed to the second part of the quest at Varka Silenos Outpost. All are 2x HP mobs, but the group mobs are very tough. For the second level of the quest you must obtain 200 Varka's Badge - Soldier by killing the same mobs as you did for the first part; and also obtain 100 Varka's Badge - Captain, which you obtain by killing Varka Silenos Priests, Warriors, Mediums, Magus, Officers, Commanders and Elite Guards.

17a. When you have all 300 badges, talk to Wahkan again at Ketra Orc Stronghold (Outpost), and he will grant you level 2 membership. Although you can continue collecting badges, it is not necessary for the 3rd class change quest.

17b. Talk to Wahkan at Ketra Orc Stronghold (Outpost) again to take the Magical Power of Water part 1 quest.

18. Now you need to get The Divine Stone of Wisdom. Go buy a key of thief from the Grocery or the Magic Store; you will need it to open the chest to get a quest item.

19. (Check that you have the Magical Power of Water part 1 Quest. If you don't, you need to talk to Wahkan in the entrance of Ketra's Outpost to start it). Find NPC Asefa in Ketra Orc Village, for the quest "Magical Power of Water - part 1". Note that Asefa is located quite deep in the Orc Barracs, where the Orc Village is. The Orcs will not attack you, but there is a variety of cute animals who will.

20. You now need to get to a treasure chest in the Varka Silenos village "undiscovered". The chest will be marked on your map. There is some way to find the chest without passing close to any Varka Silenos but few people know it. I tried to circle the whole Silenos camp from the north and approach the map pin from north-west, but the fortress there did not allow any path to enter. Thus I had to go through the whole camp, starting from the Silenos teleport point and going north. Note that you may not attack any Varka Silenos at this part of the quest, and I'm not sure if you can heal someone who is/has attacked one. So bring a good DD and another healer for this part. You can be partied. It is located behind a hut. "Talk" to it to open and then talk to it again to give you the Stolen Green Totem.

21. Return to Asefa at the Ketra Orc StrongHold (Outpost) to complete the quest. He will give you Divine Stone of Wisdom.

22. Now go to Kamilen in Dark Elven Guild with the stone, and she will give you Resonance Amulet 4.

23. Go to the tablet of vision north of Garden of Beasts, as noted on your map, it's best if you walk there. There might be some NPC Ketra Orcs around it, but I did not see any. Sends you back to DE Guild at Goddard.

24. Now you have a choice. You can either go to into The Four Sepulchers and kill a quest monster; the Archon of Halisha, or you can kill 700 mobs in Shrine of the Loyal to get him to spawn, and kill him there. According to MiseryLou's guide, it is probably the same mob. And the difference is, that it's hard to get to him in The Four Sepulchers. So everyone chooses to go after the 700 mobs.

25. All the mobs you need to kill are in the Shrine of the Loyal (you get there by porting to Wall of Argos and then walking - just make sure you have a party with you because a sole Sillien Elder can not easily make the trip). Mobs are 1x HP, and you get quest item virtually every time you kill one (you do not need to kill them yourself. This is a party quest). It takes some time, and there are other people doing the same quest, thus stealing your mobs. Make sure your party is aware when you are close to 700, so you can control when the last mob is killed.

• Grave Scarab
• Scavenger Scarab
• Grave Ant
• Scavenger Ant
• Shrine Knight
• Shrine Guard

26. When you have gained 700 quest items, you need to kill one more mob for Archon of Halisha to spawn. You have to kill Archon of Halisha by yourself (make 100% sure nobody helps you, because then you will have to start killing quest mobs again). It was much easier than I expected with PP buffs and my kesh*kesh+3. Matter of seconds.

27. When you've killed him, and you have received Resonance Amulet 5, go talk to tablet of vision, marked on your map. You have to walk there, but you need your party to protect you.

28a. The next part of the quest is at Forsaken Plains. Port there from Aden, and run to where the yellow pin is. I followed the road, but by the end i had to jump down a cliff in order to find the (pretty well hidden) tablet. You can always try the /target command.

28b. When you talk to the tablet there, a quest monster (Fallen Angel Tanakia) and an NPC (Abyss Saint Elcardia) fighting it will appear. Unfortunately they spawn at exactly the same spot so it is a bit difficult to distinguish and target them in the beginning.

29a. You have to help the NPC get rid of the quest monster. I was buffed and I started hitting the quest monster, which soon disappeared (before its hp run out). Then I talked to the NPC. Make sure you talk to the NPC quickly, since he disappears shortly after the battle ends.

29b. Speak to the tablet again.

30. Go back and finish the quest at Magister Anastia at Hardin's Private Academy.

Well done!
