OCeptember Day 7 - Casual clothes: Panaja Gunaratne

Panaja came from Nameless Island (before its disappearance) and spent some of her childhood in Rachel before moving to Rune-Midgard. As a Wanderer, her outfits usually show a lot of skin, but her nonworking clothes are more in the style of home.

"My wife sent me this picture of our cat Caesar. Apparently he heard the car engine and rushed to the window to see me come home from work. I’ve seen him do some pretty dumb/funny stuff but this is hilarious!!" https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/7h9lnb/my_wife_sent_me_this_picture_of_our_cat_caesar/?utm_source=ifttt

ice necklace quest

An apparently stand-alone quest in Rachel.

this is something that bothers me a bit about RO... the dwarves. I know there are dwarf NPCs in a few select quests... I think related to god item quests... but that's it. there's really no information about them. where do they live, what is their standing in society, etc etc... I wish I knew.

the game's first warlock?

what a hilariously smug dude.

the life of an NPC.

totally worth it.

you also receive these from Maheo, which you can use to summon Ktullanux.

lost child quest

Lost Child (11.1) → Rachel Sanctuary (11.1) → Veins Siblings (11.2) → Thor Volcano Base (11.2) → Peace for Arunafeltz (11.3)

finally, the beginning.

well, first I went to talk to the servants that you meet during the quest, just to see what they said before you actually started.

okay, now for the real start.

you have to talk to the servants in a certain order, but here's something that foreshadows the base of the quest if you talk to this servant out of order:

you actually start with the man outside.

    I dunno, he may be onto something.

he didn't even get the name he made up (which wasn't even very creative) right. vincent you aren't very good at this.

This, to me, is the core of the quest, this information about the social system of Arunafeltz. I never really see anybody else actually dealing with this, though... although I guess it's because RO info is generally not that well-known to begin with.

I can't recall if the jewel has ever made a reappearance.

rachel sanctuary quest

Lost Child (11.1) → Rachel Sanctuary (11.1) → Veins Siblings (11.2) → Thor Volcano Base (11.2) → Peace for Arunafeltz (11.3)

Also the quest that permits you to enter the Rachel Sanctuary dungeon.

Screenshots thanks to Riisha.

Technically, the server as a whole is required to donate 500 million zeny to Priestess Nemma (in the name of the sanctuary, of course) in order to start the quest. You receive vouchers in return for donations, which you can redeem with Priestess Panno inside the building to receive random helpful items.

You receive two options, but the right one leads to...

You enter the building and, along a certain route, various dialogue boxes will pop up.

Eventually you come into this room.

Move around to trigger again...

Pushing or kicking the gate should work. If you choose "Smash gate with weapon," it says something like, "Wait! That's not a good idea. You can't smash down the gate to a holy place: heroes don't specialize in desecration." (Taken from an rAthena script.)

Aside from redeeming vouchers, you now have the option to ask her about the gate.

I feel like Arunafeltz is one of those places with a propensity for twins... but thinking about it, they may have only made Panno and Nemma twins so that they could reuse the art...

So Panno you're the first one to mention the Holy Grounds huh...

The reason he speaks so familiarly to you is because you met him in the Lost Child quest.

This is why I think characters who come from Rachel are in a unique situation... they're basically stuck in Rachel, so for them to be outside of the city / country means either they did something and cannot go back, or they hated Rachel enough to leave despite the stigma.

INSERTS HEADCANONS INTO POST WHOOPS but yeah explains.

You're provided with a place to type your answer when she asks where you come from and what you did there, so you can literally say anything to her... you could say you come from the planet Vulcan and when you lived there you mind melded or something. Anything goes.

sad face.

dat face.

veins siblings quest

Lost Child (11.1) → Rachel Sanctuary (11.1) → Veins Siblings (11.2) → Thor Volcano Base (11.2) → Peace for Arunafeltz (11.3)

AKA one of the worst required quests ever. EVER.

Screenshots thanks to Riisha.

Toby you're sad.

What countries, RO world is sort of limited in that regard.

You try this with all the camels with no luck.

And here comes the section of the quest that makes the entire thing a horrible experience.

The materials you gathered as food are enough to feed the camel five times. However, way more often than otherwise it poops out these potatoes. That means you may get five potatoes and with all your materials gone, you have to go back and get more, knowing that you may well get five more potatoes. Endless potatoes.

This is why this quest SUUUUUCKS.

Four more times and finally...

(the two above screenshots provided by myself.)

peace for arunafeltz quest

Lost Child (11.1) → Rachel Sanctuary (11.1) → Veins Siblings (11.2) → Thor Volcano Base (11.2) → Peace for Arunafeltz (11.3)

After a little running around the Morroc Ruins...

He tells us that High Priest Zhed wishes to talk to us, so off to Arunafeltz.

So talk to Niren...

If you think about it, your character is a huge criminal from all these quests... but since you're doing it for a good cause...

I am not sure if this is the truth... if it is, that means the Pope's origins (and her brother's) are a mystery. But it could very well be fabricated, a lie told to the Pope to ensure she believes her origins are mystical.

Obviously, this is a "future" type of quest... it would resolve a lot of the issues that come from Arunafeltz, after all.

nameless island entrance quest

Lost Child (11.1) → Rachel Sanctuary (11.1) → Veins Siblings (11.2) → Thor Volcano Base (11.2) → Peace for Arunafeltz (11.3)

Nameless Island Entrance Quest (11.3)

in an inn in Rachel...

then tried to report to a Veins magistrate, who proved to be difficult...

then to a tavern in Veins...

[Kurdi is one of the children from the Veins Siblings quest.]

we use the boat to head to the Nameless Island.

[This is a reference to the murder of the princes in Curse of Gaebolg quest.]

which makes the monster attack us, and when we leave the building...

leaving me to explore the monastery on my own.

this is possibly the journal that belonged to Fallen Bishop Hibram. even further into the abbey...

you must fight him, then...
