Step 1. Luther in Hunters Village

Teleport to Hunters Village and enter the Warrior Guild. Master Luther gives the quest only to a level 39 Rogue, Elven Scout, Assassin or Scavenger. Choose "Say that you will take the Test of the Searcher" — he gives you Luther's Letter for Captain Alex in Floran, plus 96 Dimensional Diamond on the first take (82 for a Scavenger).

Step 2. Captain Alex near Floran

Teleport to Town of Dion and run south to Floran Village. Captain Alex stands at the village entrance: give him Luther's letter and he hands you Alex's Warrant for his assistant.

Step 3. Leirynn across the bridge

Cross the bridge west of the village — Militiaman Leirynn stands there. She takes the warrant and gives you Leirynn's 1st Order: kill ten lizardman shamans.

Step 4. 10 Delu shamans

Go back across the bridge and hunt Delu Lizardman Shaman lv. 35 (level 35) in the fields around Floran — you need 10 Delu Totem, one per shaman (× rate). The first hit on each shaman spawns a level 33 Neer Bodyguard lv. 33 next to it — be ready for two mobs at once. Give the totems to Leirynn and she hands you Leirynn's 2nd Order.

Step 5. Chief Kalkis by the river

Run east from Floran along the river to Delu Chief Kalkis lv. 37 (level 37); he respawns in about a minute. He drops Chief Kalki's Fang and a Strange Map — take them to Leirynn for Leirynn's Report. Give the report to Alex and go through his talk up to "Agree to search for the Gold Bar": you get Alex's Letter, Alex's Order and Lambert's Map.

Step 6. Borys behind the Gludio smithy

Teleport to Town of Gludio — Drunkard Borys stands behind the smithy. Give him Alex's letter: Borys will only talk about the gold for good wine and gives you the Wine Catalog.

Step 7. Tyra at the Spider Nest

Teleport to the Dark Elf Village, then to the Spider Nest, and find Tyra by the tents. Choose "I accept the proposal" — she gives you Tyra's Contract: wine for 10 pouches of spore dust.

Step 8. Mushrooms in the Sea of Spores

Teleport from Town of Oren to the Sea of Spores and kill Giant Fungus lv. 40 (level 40) until you have 10 Red Spore Dust — one per kill (× rate).

Go back to the Spider Nest: Tyra takes the dust and gives you Malrukian Wine.

Step 9. Wine for Borys

In Gludio, behind the smithy, give Borys the Malrukian Wine. He remembers that one of the guards is alive and hiding under the name Jax, and gives you the Old Order.

Step 10. Jax in the Wasteland

Teleport from Gludin to the southern entrance of the Wasteland and find Bodyguard Jax. Go through the whole talk: "Show him the Map of Lambert", "Where is the gold?", "Ask about the dead comrades", "Say you want other pieces". He gives you Jax's Diary — only after this do the map pieces start dropping.

Step 11. Road Scavengers in Dragon Valley

Teleport from Giran to Dragon Valley and kill Road Scavenger lv. 37 (level 37). You need 4 1st Torn Map Piece, 50% chance per kill — the fourth piece turns into Solt's Map by itself.

Step 12. Hangman Trees at the Execution Grounds

From Dion, run to the Execution Grounds and kill Hangman Tree lv. 35 (level 35). You need 4 2nd Torn Map Piece, 50% chance — the fourth piece turns into Makel's Map.

Step 13. The combined map from Jax

With Solt's Map and Makel's Map, go back to Jax in the Wasteland. He puts all four pieces together and gives you the Combined Map marking where the gold is buried.

Step 14. The chest by the tree

Run southwest of Dion to the mark on the map — the Tree grows there. Choose "Dig the root of the tree": you get a Rusted Key and a Strong Wooden Chest appears nearby. The chest lasts 5 minutes — open it with the key and take 20 Gold Bar.

Step 15. Alex's recommendation

Take the gold to Captain Alex at the Floran entrance. He takes the bars, the order and the map and gives you Alex's Recommend for Luther.

Step 16. Mark of Searcher from Luther

In Hunters Village, give the recommendation to Luther — he gives you the Mark of Searcher, 37,831 XP and 18,750 SP. The mark is done; the other two are in your class guide: Bounty Hunter, Treasure Hunter, Plains Walker, Abyss Walker.

How many mobs to kill on your rate

Totems and dust drop with a 100% chance, and the quest drop rate multiplies the amount per kill. Map pieces have a 50% chance, which the rate raises — the table shows the average number of kills. On some servers quest items drop one at a time on any rate — then use the x1 column.

Kalkis and all talks don't depend on the rate.
