Okay so I finally got everything I need to get so I could get in to Unicorn Forest (Pretty excited about that, didn't get to complete RB but made it pretty far and it was really fun) and I find out you can only get in a few time a day for 2 hours and on my schedule I'm lucky if I can get in once per day. I was reading up on things you can do/get from Unicorn Forest and I found that you can do quests to get certain mats to make awesome armors without buying it. Thought to myself I'd love to do this, but for the first step you need 320 mats and you only get 4 per quest run and you can only do 2-3 in 2 hours. How the hell are you ever suppose to get anything near the rank they are giving in the event packs?

Rank 1:
Wraith's Spirit Amount Required:320
☆☆☆Forest's Wisdom

Helmet
Grade 10
Life +215
Level Required: 95
HP: +30
Strength +10
Vitality +1~2
(The one I was going for is is Rank 3)
Rank 3:
Wraith's Spirit Amount Required:2880
☆☆☆Forest's Wisdom
Helmet
Grade 12
Life +265
HP: +90
Strength +10
Vitality +5~6


Only getting 4 per quest isn't bad, but a 2 hour time limit and only being able to enter a few times a day? Is there something I don't know about or is this why no one has one except from the event packs? lol

Guess the question I have is:
Do you only need to get as many as mats as you need to make the one you want or do you have to make each one up to the one you want?

Wraith's Spirit V 18560
Wraith's Spirit IV 5440
Wraith's Spirit III 2880
Wraith's Spirit II 1280
Wraith's Spirit I 320

Note: This is all according to PWdatabase

Thanks for any input/advice.
It's a game and I'm proud to be a stupid fail demon barb!

    Get "Helm of Holy Punishment" from the anni packs. Thats where the vast vast vast majority of those helms come from.

    If the blood is up when you leave UF just pick it up again right then so you can enter whenever you want.

    i think it was you have to start from the bottom up, starting from I.
    People have attempted this, gave up and bought anni packs when they came out xD

    please correct me if i'm wrong, only heard tidbits from here and there

    I know if anyone has the top rank it came from the packs, but I don't just want to buy my way through the game like most people do!!! I'd like to try and earn but at the rate they want it almost seems impossible. b:cry I guess if all else fail, whats another $75 for piece of armor! b:cold

    It will take you years to farm that helm the "normal" way. Just think of it as a "light" version of the warsoul weapons, just slightly less impossible to get. But only slightly.

    Farming for the highest versions of this helm is going to take some effort. Good luck with RB.

    When you are able to enter UF, and do decide to farm for the wraith's spirits, try aoe grinding on the jackals near the world boss that looks like soulripper. (Sorry, not familiar with the names on this version).
    Kill the mobs with a squad, makes farming go a lot faster and you can complete the quest much more than 2-3 times within that 2 hour time frame.
    Also, you can grab the blood right before it stops spawning allowing you to stay 2 hours after the blood has stopped spawning. You could essentially be in UF for close to 20 hours a day (Although I doubt you'd want to).
    Maybe if you're lucky, you can set the squad to individual pick up and your squadmates will let you pick up all the wraith's spirit that drops from the mobs. lol.

    Though to get the grade 14 helm, even with a decent squad and fair number of hours spent farming per day, you're gonna be looking at months of farming.

    EDIT: You don't have to get the helms in sequence.

    As far as i can tell from Pwdatabase there's another way to get the Wraith Spirits (also Wraith Bones for the lvl 95 gold boots and Wraith Eyes for a cape).
    I don't think it's really any more efficient than the farming in UF though.

    Basically you work with all the Card bosses from the Land Elder in ChronoWorld 1.

    Get the 8 cards for a boss, transform them into a Boss Record and go summon the boss via a Summonbot in the appropriate location (e.g. Abyss Rider in the middle of Eden). After you killed the boss you can turn the quest in at Land Elder for a reward which is a Boss Signature (e.g. Abyss Rider Signature).

    You do this with all the bosses the Land Elder can provide cards for and once you got all the Signatures, you can exchange 8 of them for a Hammerfall Booklet I, and another 8 for Hammerfall Booklet II. With both Hammerfall Booklet I & II you can summon the Hammerfall boss via another Summonbot.

    Once you kill it you get a Card Hero Token as a reward from the Land Elder which can be exchanged for 500 pieces of either Wraith's Spirit, Eye or Bone at the Fire forge in OHT.

    You can also get a Card Hero Token for 4 tokens of best luck...go figure >.>.

    This is info from pwdata, i never tested the whole thing so if something isn't implemented or i made a mistake anywhere, my apologies. b:thanks

    the fact that these items (heavenrage boots and helm of holy punishment) came out in anni packs are what led a lot of people to quit.

    I had been farming the boots for a few weeks, then all of a sudden it seems like there's hundreds of them on the server. It was quite a slap in the face.
