Noblesse Quest (Path of a Noblesse)

To complete all the quests, you first need to get a subclass and level it up to 75+, so that killing mobs is easier and you meet the requirements of the final quest, if you want to do everything in one go.

Before starting the quest we need to buy the following ingredients from trader Lara:

• Lunargent - 5 pcs.
• Hellfire Oil - 1 pc.

Path of a Noblesse, Precious Soul - 1

1. Travel to Aden, to NPC Talien, and take the quest. It turns out he needs information about the seventeen heroes who took part in the battle against Antharas.

2. Talien sends us to Gabrielle, since he thinks she might have a lot to tell. Great, off to Giran.

3. As it turns out, Gabrielle doesn't know all that much, but the info is definitely held by Antharas's guardian - Gilmore, who was one of the seventeen heroes. He guards the entrance to Dragon Valley from the Death Pass side.

4. Gilmore has become undead and isn't quite all there anymore, so he doesn't remember anything, but he knows that the "Legend of the Seventeen" was eaten and carried off into a cave by the wicked witch Baraham.

5. Excellent! We head to Bee Hive, find the cave, and kill the evil witch. Killing her rewards us with the legend we were looking for.

6. We hand the paper to Talien and suddenly it turns out that's not enough for him, and now he wants a record (an echo crystal) with a recording of an ancient rock band. It can only be obtained from the shady CD/DVD seller Kantabilon, who lives in Heine.

7. The seller turns out to be a hustler and says he does have that record, but he'll only hand it over in exchange for 10 claws from Malruc Succubus or Malruc Succubus Turen, which dwell in Dragon Valley. The claws drop rarely, so get ready for your PvP/PK counter to climb by about 10 points, stock up on Cursed Bone/Energy Stone/Mana Potion/et cetera and head out to DV.

8. Once, through blood and sweat (mostly thanks to endless PvP), you've farmed the claws, head to Kantabilon, and then to Aden, to deliver the antique DVD.
9. You thought you'd finished all of Talien's tasks? Not so fast! It turns out he needs a book of poems, which only Stedmiel, who lives in Hunter's Village, has :( Oh well... Off we go to see him...

10. Thank goodness, Stedmiel turned out to be such a sweetheart that he gave us the book just like that, without any drawn-out process of pressing a hot iron to his long ears, and so on :) We carry the book to Talien.
11. The work for Talien is done, but to continue the "Path of a Noblesse" we need to go see Talien's "old man", a dwarf who lives in Rune Castle Town.
12. We travel to Rune, teleport from the Gatekeeper to Rune Castle Town Temple, and look there for a group of NPCs admiring the views of nature from a large balcony. One of them is that "old man", and his name is Virgil.

13. The dwarf's daughter has fallen ill, and with some unknown disease at that. The only one who knows how to cure her is Ogmar, who's standing right nearby, and whom Virgil is too lazy to walk over to himself. What a good grandpa, caring about his granddaughter. (Somewhere around here in the course of the negotiations you need to talk to the dwarf's granddaughter too, so just talk to all three of them in turn, so as not to break the quest flow.)
14. Ogmar really does know a way out: the cure for this disease (which, as it turns out, isn't all that scary and unknown) can be brewed by the orc shaman Rahorakti, who lives in the basement (go to the Gatekeeper, teleport to Rune Castle Town Guild, then follow the arrow).

15. To brew the potion, the shaman needs maroon moss, which can be scraped off Spilner Stakato Drones. We travel to Swamp of Screams and kill the required number of them.

16. Rahorakti - what a kind soul - brews us the potion, which we carefully carry to the little dwarf girl. We cure the granddaughter and talk to the grandfather.
17. Virgil tells us that only the Lake Lady can make us a noblesse (that lady who gave Lancelot the sword? though no, that's from a different fairy tale). A certain Caradine, who lives in Goddart, can tell us about this "lady".

18. We teleport to Caradine, and she sends us to the boss of the local gang of smiths - Head Blacksmith Noel. He tells us that he needs the Lunargent & Hellfire Oil we bought in advance. We hand them over to him and go back to Caradine.

19. The lady tells us this quest is done, and the next one will be given by Virgil, who has had something happen and we supposedly need to rush over to him urgently. Here you can have a smoke, drink some coffee, and head to Goddart at your leisure.

Path of a Noblesse, Precious Soul - 2

1. We arrive at Virgil's, and it turns out his granddaughter has started being tormented by nightmares. We talk to the granddaughter, and to Ogmar (as always, grandpa's tongue has withered so he can't sort it out himself and just let us quietly get our noblesse).
2. Ogmar tells us that in order to save the girl, we need to quickly dash over to the entrance to Devil's Pass (teleport to Swamp of Screams).
3. We discover the corpses of angels and an unknown dark knight. We talk to him, we talk to the corpses (they vanish after your act of necrophilia). We find a scalp and speak with the knight. He sends us, together with the lock of hair, to a witch near Ivory Tower.

4. We arrive at Ivory, find the witch Kalis, and she sends us to her apprentice for some ingredient.

5. We run off to the apprentice, who turns out to be a dwarf alchemist named Matild; we talk to her and take the ingredient.

6. Kalis sends us to Valley of Saints (teleport to Rune, then to Swamp); there lies a dead unicorn among some rocks. We open the corpse and the rocks, and it turns out we need to knock the missing parts out of quest mobs right there in that little cave. We knock out 4 items, insert them into the rocks, and talk to the unicorn.

7. It turns out we've saved the Lake Lady, and Virgil's granddaughter along with her. We go and talk to Cassandra. Quest complete.

Path of a Noblesse, Precious Soul - 3

1. We travel to Ossian, who dwells near Caradine. He tells us that a great task has fallen upon us, to restore the lost power of the Lake Lady.

2. To begin with, we need to knock out 2 quest items (Ring of Goddess, Necklace of Goddess) in Valley of Saints. The mob names are Pilgrim of ***, Judge of *** (the asterisks can be anything, for example Pilgrim of Shine, Judge of Light). We successfully knock them out and head to Goddart, to Ossian.

3. We're told that we need to get the last artifact - Staff of Goddess. It drops from the raid boss Barakiel, in the same Valley of Saints.

In the screenshot Barakiel is already dead, but this is what the room he lives in looks like. To kill him, we need a party, with a rough composition of: 5 mages 75+, a tank, a BD, and a bishop. This is the easiest way to kill him. 4. We carry the staff to Ossian, and he gives us the task of taking all the goods to the already familiar Magister Ladd in Ivory Tower.

5. We talk to Ladd. This part of the quest is over.

Path of a Noblesse, Precious Soul - 4

1. We travel to Goddart again and talk to Caradine. She teleports us to the Lake Lady.
2. It turns out we were helping the goddess Eva herself (I don't understand how, by NCSoft's design, dark elves are supposed to do this quest, since they hate Eva and worship only their precious Shilen, but whatever). We talk to the goddess, and......

3. CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU ARE A NOBLESSE!!!

Now a bit about what noblesse gives us.
