Friendship Quest

SATII - Lost City

So what's this quest?
Randomly from a mob, you'll find a "Friendship Crystal". All you have to do is get some friends, talk to the elder, talk to another npc, get some exp and sp, rinse and repeat. I'll elaborate more on steps.

What are the requirements?
You and all friends must be level 30+, otherwise it will not work. So get leveling!

Step 1: Get a Friendship Crystal from a mob. Yay! Alternatively, you can be a friend to someone with a crystal. (Keep reading, it'll all make sense, hopefully)

Step 2: Get two friends WHO HAVE NOT LEAD A FRIENDSHIP QUEST ALREADY TODAY and go to the elder. Make sure you're the party leader and your two friends are standing next to the elder.

Step 3: Go to "Quest Related" for the elder and select "Have they been here before?" There will be a 2nd option saying "Trade in Memory Orb" which you should not select. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT OPTION!!! Selecting the wrong one will result in an immediate 5k exp/1k sp and ending the chain. The elder should take your crystal (or Memory Orb) and you should receive a quest.

Step 4: The quest says to talk to the elder, so do it. Take the "True Friends" quest. The elder shoulud tell you to search for the "Girl in White".

Step 5: Fly to the southwest tower in the center of Arch (538, 643). Talk to the lady. She should say something along the lines of "Who are you! I don't need friends! Go away!" or something like that. You should receive a Flawed Pendant of Friendship. Your two friends should each receive a Memory Orb.

Step 6: Here's where it gets confusing. What you need to do now, is have your two friends, which I shall call B and C, get two new friends each: D and E, and F and G. B and C should each be the leader of two separate parties. They should repeat the exact steps of 3-5.

Step 7: After friends B and C complete their trips with their two friends, they should receive a Flawed Pendant of Friendship AND a Stone of Friendship each. They should BOTH trade the Stone of Friendship to you. You should now have 2 Stones of Friendship and a Flawed Pendant of Friendship. (Note, Friends D, E, F and G can all repeat steps 2-5 as this is a chain quest that can go on forever)

Step 8: Fly back to the elder. He should have a quest for you to repair the necklace using the 2 stones. Do the quest, you should receive a Necklace of Friendship.
*NOTE: Some people have received 5 rep from the elder at this point in addition to the 5 rep you get next step. So far it seems random and very rare. If you get it, lucky you!

Step 9: Fly back to the "Girl in White" and talk to her. Give her the necklace and your done!

Total Rewards
It should be as follow after completing everything:
20k exp
4k sp
5 rep
Tablet of Friendship (Called "Token of Friendship" in this game - it looks like an fb tab)
*Note: These are the rewards after you turn in the full pendant to the elder. This means, friends B and C can achieve these awards if they complete the whole chain, too.*

You can give the Tablet to the Girl in White for 5k exp, 5k sp and 5 rep. Alternatively, you can save up and get lv90 equips (see below).
*NOTE: You sometimes don't receive the 5k sp for some reason.
Prizes (Thanks Ence - see post 7)
All equipments are level 90 requirements and require 50 Tablet of Friendships

Yes, the guide is correct - we did it some days ago with success, down to the 3. stage of recursion, that is, with 15 friends in total.

Some few additional notes:
a) You have to be at least level 30 to attend. It did not work for us when we tried with a level 25 squad member.

b) In Step 2, "Get two friends WHO HAVE NOT LEAD A FRIENDSHIP QUEST ALREADY" should read "Get two friends WHO HAVE NOT LEAD A FRIENDSHIP QUEST TODAY". That is, you can do it again "tomorrow" (after next server restart, 0:00 server time) if you have another Friedship Crystal.

c) In Step 8, it's not necessary to reparty with your formerly chosen squad members - the Elder will repair your Flawed Pendant of Friendship (embed the 2 Friendship Stones) even if you visit him alone finally.

So if you finish the whole quest you are done for the day. You can't be part of amother one because after the first part you will have to be the leader of the next sqad. Correct ?

Maciaveli - Lost City

Perfect! *Bump* b:bye

Seriously? Wow I feel jipped. I had the 2 stones and flawed pendant and he wouldn't do it for me. But it may because the 2 stones weren't actually from my two friends lol.

BTW, Updated.

You can keep doing the friendship quest as long as you have not lead a party. If you were part of a party, you can still do it; otherwise friends B and C would not be able to lead their own parties to continue the quest.

I've done the quest a few days ago, succesfully, with a few friends.

It's important to note that the quest isn't always listed second.

I have a detailed explanation at http://tiny.cc/fquest. The short link can be easily passed to other players and provides a clear explanation.

Fleuri - Sanctuary

I could not visit http://tiny.cc/fquest

Also...

When talking with the elder:

You want "Have they been here?" to start this quest. You will also have "Trade of Memories" which will eat your friendship orb and give you a few exps.

Also, if you have a timed memory orb and another memory orb (and probably if you have friendship crystals) you should leave them in your safe so when you start this quest you will be using your timed orb.

Also friendship items have descriptions and have timers which start when you do something with them. For example, when I receive a stone of friendship, my stone's timer has not started:



However, when you put your stone into your trade dialog your stone's timer starts:



Orbs of memories also have timers which start when you take "Have they been here?"

I also noticed a white timer for "Have they been here", but I noticed with only four seconds left and have not yet read its quest panel text. White timers mean you have to wait until they expire before doing something. However, I was not able to use someone else's stones of friendship to repair my pendant, even after this timer expired.

This is the reward for the one with the crystal right?
But what about the helpers? Do they also get some kind of reward?

The helpers get their own orb of memories and with that they start a new chain of friendship - so the rewards is the same for them

or they sell the orb for 5k of exp and not get the stone to the original crystal holder - which is what most people do, before they understand the concept of a quest - I sold the orb many times before we figured it out :-)

very useful guide - I wish I've had that 10 crystals ago :-)

SATII - Lost City

They get an orb which is like a crystal. If they get they're 2 friends to get 2 more friends, they can get those end rewards too.

OHHHHHHHHHHH. That's what you meant. I think Ence meant the rank level of the armor. You know, like level 1 armor, level 2, level 3, etc. Not reputation rank.

Minta - Dreamweaver

oh thanks

another question, were do you trade friendship tablets for those gears?

No idea. Anyone know? It's kind of hard to get 50 tablets anyway.

AndromedaB - Sanctuary

all that work and i get 2 stones and a pendant
and no quests from elder or the dancer

Chappy_Happy - Heavens Tear

All the equip says Defense Level +2.
What does that do?

Doubles all my pdef and mdef?

Evilfoxxxe - Heavens Tear

I believe that since freindship crystals is a rare drop that getting fifty of them before lvl 90 requires either being very lucky or buying them. I havent reached lvl 90 yet and i have only participeted in 15 of them so maybe at lvl 90 if you have 50 of them there will be a quest pop up.

Just to be sure I understand correctly.

Imagine I am 'B' and I do not have a friendship crystal.

After I complete the quest I will have Flawed Pendant of Friendship AND a Stone of Friendship. I will give my Stone of Friendship to 'A' and keep the Flawed Pendant of Friendship.
At that point my friend D and E can become leader invite their friends H,I and J,K. They can complete the quest so that D and E give me their Stone of Friendship each. Doing so I had no friendship crystal and I have been able to produce a friendship tablet with the Flawed Pendant of Friendship AND a 2x Stone of Friendship.

If I am correct, it should be very doable to get the item within 2 months with a good organized group of players.

U cant trade friendship stones! (it sais so)
