Tutorial Guides: Entry #4a

⇐ Tutorial 1 Part 3: 職業選択の自由
Tutorial 1 Part 5: 師弟とは?

This post is for those who chose 転職するわけない! (I don't need to change my Job!) in the previous tutorial and are now doing the [自由人ぶらり旅] tutorial event.

As mentioned in the previous tutorial guide, you can still change your class if you change your mind after making your choice; in fact the other Job-Change tutorials will still be available even after you have completed this tutorial.

However, an important thing to take note is that if you change your job after completing this event, the Navi Rewards for both [自由人ぶらり旅] and whichever Job-Change you have gone for will not be available. The [自由人ぶらり旅] option will be replaced by the Job-Change event that you've completed and said event will be marked "Finished" (完了) instead, denying you the Navi Reward.

To go around this, you must claim the Navi Reward for this event before going for your Job-Change. You'll still lose the Navi Reward for the Job-Change event, but since the Navi Reward for this event and the Job-Change events are the same: 1 x Item Drop Enhancer (Beginner) (アイテムドロップふえーる(ビギナー)), this really doesn't matter anyhow.

If you have started on but not completed this event, and have decided to change your Job instead, then  good. Abandon this event and go straight for the Job-Change event. The penalty only applies if you complete both this and the Job-Change events, so you'll still receive the Navi Reward from the Job-Change event (the [自由人ぶらり旅] option will disappear along with the other Job-Change event options after you have changed your Job). As for the Book of the NEETS, it'll be returned to Joker Bro if you speak to him again after completing your Job-Change.

Now that I've gotten this disclaimer out of the way, let's continue with the walkthrough =3.

Tutorial Guides: Entry #3

⇐ Tutorial 1 Part 2: 次の冒険に向かおう!
Tutorial 1 Part 4a:  自由人ぶらり旅
Tutorial 1 Part 4b:  Fighter Job Change Quests
Tutorial 1 Part 4c:  Spelluser Job Change Quests
Tutorial 1 Part 4d:  Backpacker Job Change Quests

Now that we have completed the basic tutorial, it's time we really start with the game. 

ECO has thirteen Job Classes made up of: 
  • four Fighters (Swordsman, Fencer, Scout & Archer);
  • four Spellusers (Wizard, Shaman, Vates & Warlock); 
  • four Backpackers (Tatarabe, Farmer, Ranger & Merchant); and 
  • the humble Novice. 
Each Class (except for the Novice) currently has three Job tiers: 1st Job -> 2nd Job (2-1 Expert or 2-2 Technical) -> 3rd Job (Chronicle). To take up a Job or to move on to the next Job tier, the character must first undergo a Job-change quest.

In the "good old days", when ingame tutorials don't exist in ECO, doing the Job-change quest can be a pain, especially for Merchants. With the new tutorial, the Job-change quests remain more or less unchanged, but at least the player knows what to do and where to go now =3.

With all that said, this tutorial itself is not on Job-changes *thrown out of the window*.

Ahaha... Well, it's more like a lead-in to the Job-change quests. The aim is probably to give the new player an idea how Jobs are like in ECO and help her in the decision over which Job to take. Without further ado, let's carry on =3

A Fresh Start

Hi guys! Been so long since I last wrote here... orz

Following Trass and Esta's steps, I went to ECOjp Zinnia as well! It was hard to look at my lovely girls after the idECO server closing was announced, so I didn't do any kind of farewell party, or SS taking or video with them or anything...

Anyway, I think it's time to put them into a rest too. Poor girls experienced a lot of hardships, adventure, and fun together. They got a lot of fashion collection and their own styles, and have lived their tales well in idECO. They will never be same anymore if I were to recreate them in ECOjp, Klae is not herself without Fernia, Milla will not be able to move on without her husband.

And so, Odalune, my first girl in ECOjp, was born.

 Reunion with Revelation crews, so good to see you guys again T_T


So today I just went back for quite long hiatus due to internet line went out of order, since the event won't last long anymore, I went to complete it with Lazy-kun's help. /o/

 Odalune, wearing the Halloween dress set, next to Lazy-kun's Melon Pan :3


 I want more fashions....

And after that he took me for some GB at LT, went from lv26 to lv35, yay~ Gotta get the Shaman armor set later!


The inevitable deaths

Alma Event Guide: White Familiar Alma

To be honest, this should have been done weeks ago... >_>

In any case, this is mainly meant to help players who can't read the wiki to do the White Familiar Alma event. That said, this is really a piece of cake. In fact, players who don't (or can't) read the story can easily finish this within an hour. Of course, I would recommend players who do understand Japanese to take their time going through every details of the event =3

As White Familiar's event will end with the maintenance on next Thursday (18 Oct 2012), I advise anyone who wish to attempt the event to start ASAP. Due to time constraints, I'll post a bare-bones guide first with instructions and little else more, and slowly fill the guide up with more details to the story and other details I found during the event. When I have the time, that is =_____=

Before we start, please be reminded that each AlmaMon event has two routes: Nekomata or Shugoma. I'm not too sure how your choices will affect the overall Alma story though.
