Step 1. Valkon in the Giran warehouse

Teleport to Town of Giran and enter the warehouse. Warehouse Keeper Valkon gives the quest to a level 35 Scavenger or Artisan and charges a 2,000 adena registration fee. He gives you Valkon's Recommendation, plus 85 Dimensional Diamond on the first take. Your task is to make seven Journeyman Rings.

Step 2. Altran on Talking Island

Teleport to Talking Island Village — Blacksmith Altran stands on the square by the smithy. For now he only grumbles about his aching joints and sends you away. You get nothing, but you need this talk: without it Valkon won't give you the hint.

Step 3. Valkon's hint

Go back to Valkon in Giran and go through the hint talk: "Do you know of a good remedy for arthritis?", then "Where can I find a Mandragora Berry?". Without this talk the berry won't drop from mandragoras.

Step 4. The mandragora berry

From Dion, run to the western part of the Execution Grounds, into the hollow by the Catacomb of the Heretic. Kill a Mandragora Blossom lv. 25, Mandragora Sapling lv. 23 or Mandragora Sprout lv. 21 — you need one Mandragora Berry, and it drops from the very first kill.

Step 5. Altran and the ring recipe

On Talking Island, give the berry to Altran and press "Teach me how to make a ring". He gives you Altran's Instructions, Recipe: Journeyman Ring, Altran's 1st Recommendation (for Norman) and Altran's 2nd Recommendation (for Pinter). Add the recipe to your recipe book.

Step 6. Norman in Gludin

Teleport to Gludin Village and enter the warehouse. Warehouse Keeper Norman brushes you off at first — press "Please help me". He takes the first recommendation and gives you Norman's Instructions and Norman's Receipt for Blacksmith Duning.

Step 7. Pinter in Gludio

Teleport to Town of Gludio and enter the smithy. Blacksmith Pinter gives the task only from level 36. Hand him the second recommendation and offer help — you get Pinter's Instructions; an Artisan also gets the Amber Bead recipe, but the beads drop from ants anyway.

Step 8. Beads in the Ant Nest

Teleport from Gludio to The Ant Nest and hunt Ant lv. 30 and Ant Captain lv. 31 inside. You need 70 Amber Bead: an ant drops 5 beads, and 10 if a Scavenger spoiled it (× quest rate). Take the beads to Pinter — he gives you 7 Journeyman Deco Beads.

Step 9. Duning in Hunters Village

In Hunters Village, go to the smithy to Blacksmith Duning and hand him Norman's receipt. He admits the orcs took his 30 keys and gives you Duning's Instructions.

Step 10. 30 keys in Breka's Stronghold

Teleport from Giran to Breka's Stronghold. The keys drop from all three kinds of orcs — Breka Orc Overlord lv. 35, Breka Orc Warrior lv. 33 and Breka Orc Shaman lv. 34: one Duning's Key per kill (× rate). Collect 30 and go back to Duning — he lets you take the keys to Norman.

Step 11. Keys for Norman

In Gludin, give the keys to Norman. Then continue the talk: "Did you forget anything?", "You promised that you would help me..." and agree to bring the materials — he gives you Norman's List of four materials, 70 each.

Step 12. Bones, whetstone and pigment at the Execution Grounds

From Dion, run to the Execution Grounds — three materials from the list are collected here, 70 each, all multiplied by the quest rate. First, Granite Whetstone from Granite Golem lv. 33 (level 33), 7 per kill.

Gray Bone Powder drops from Ghoul lv. 32 (level 32) and Strain lv. 31 — 5 per kill.

Red Pigment comes from the Dead Seeker lv. 34 bats (level 34) — 7 per kill.

Step 13. Silenos near the Monster Race Track

Teleport from Dion to the Plains of Dion and run to the Monster Race Track. Kill Silenos lv. 30 around the track until you have 70 Braided Yarn — 10 per kill (× rate).

Step 14. Norman's gems

With 70 Gray Bone Powder, 70 Granite Whetstone, 70 Red Pigment and 70 Braided Yarn, go back to Norman in Gludin. He gives you 7 Journeyman Gem — the second half of the ring materials.

Step 15. Seven rings and the Mark of Guildsman

Craft 7 Journeyman Ring: each ring takes 1 Journeyman Deco Beads, 1 Journeyman Gem, 1 Steel, 10 Varnish and 10 Crystal: D-Grade. Give exactly 7 rings to Valkon in Giran and pick either answer — you get the Mark of Guildsman, 80,993 XP and 12,250 SP. The other marks are in your class guide: Bounty Hunter or Warsmith. A crafter also needs the Test of the Maestro mark.

How many mobs to kill on your rate

Every material in this quest drops with a 100% chance, and the quest drop rate multiplies the amount per kill. On some servers quest items drop one at a time on any rate — then use the x1 column.

The Mandragora Berry drops once from the first kill on any rate.
