How to use MM? [HELP FOR NEW PLAYER]

[Musashi]

Hello, my name is Rafael "Musashi", I played a lot of GE during the t3fun and sword era, finally I'm back playing it now and I'm a little lost regarding the changes haha

The main question is how to use the Market? It asks to complete the quest for Montoro and his family at lvl 20. I remember that my family was more than lvl 30 (on the old servers) and I had never done this quest for Viron, and how can I buy better equipment to do the quest if I can't use the market? I'm totally stuck on this issue x.x

Cresemento equipment set can help you through Montoro quest easily. You might need a Fighter/Coimbra Trooper to tank some damage. But you can use any other DPS to brute force through the quest with health/SP potion and some Cash potions. I use Adelina Esperanza (not the Pirate) and Cresemento set and brute force through the quest using the Cresemento set. My team is Adelina + Emilia (not the Sage) + Warlock.

The Cresemento equipment set has even higher power than level 100 or even e84/e92 equipment (with no AR/DR+3 option ofc). With the right combination of characters you don't even need Cash potions but you might need Soul Crystal in case the support character dies in the quest.

You need to complete the Viron Questline up until you defeat Montoro. It will then enable you to lift the MM usage restrictions. There are a few guides online on how to do the Viron scenario questline if you need a refresher.

Thanks guys, another question, I reached the first expert trio (Grandma/Scout/Musk) but I don't have any expert stances yet, is there a way to get the stances by doing the scenario quests?

[NocheLuz]

I cannot remember where I got it but there are expert stance book summon stones (or something like that name) that can give you an expert stance of your choice.

But If you can do a Rank 1 mission, try to do it. You'll have a chance to get the constellation box. Where you'll get a random constellation symbol and you can use it to exchange for an expert stance.

The Rank missions are on the Coimbra bridge. Rank 1 is kinda easy but without expert stances, it might be challenging.

Did it get fixed that you need to finish Viron scenario quest or you just need level 20 family to trade and make purchases on market? Either way, the flurry of tips below!

Generic chars like fighter, musketeer, wizard, warlock and scout get one of their expert stances for free upon promotion (might have to zone change). Master Guardian and Emilia in Coimbra used to have quests where you can obtain Enhanced Tactics stance book and also 3 expert stance summon stones.

There are early quests that also reward experimental weapons so you have a much better chance at beating rank 1 missions. Some of them are hard even with expert or master. Crescemento items are good, but make sure you chip the right racial on weapon for mission you are doing. Rank 1 token shop also sells constellation token boxes. Even if roulette did not favor you, there is still hope.

Worth your time is also doing infinitio mission in bounty hunter guild im Auch. Set of desapio accessories will be a massive boost to survival.

While you can't trade, you can loot tokens from the ground. Someone might be willing to drop few you need for expert stances. Enhanced Tactics is must have stance. Hanging Guard is solid early damage dealing stance. Adelina has the AR buffs to keep crescemento useful for a bit longer. Scout's Combat Medicine is a very nice stance and also Emilia can keep you alive with her wizard buffs. Warlock Flare buff from Occult Assistance is very nice dmg boost. Event better when you get rings.

Complete scenario quests so you can level up your first 3 man main team to Master level faster. Daily quests in Auch (forgot the character name, but she is near the official who expands barracks there), and another in Ustiur (near Grenmah) will reward you 20 activity once per day, 2 of exp cards (Veteran and Expert) and on 10th day Stance ring box.

Good luck.

[Musashi]

Niiice, I'm doing well thanks to all the tips provided in this post

Small bonus: Recalled the names of the guards. Guard, Innes in Auch and Guard, Paula in Ustiur Base.

Good rings to keep are those that boost ar/dr of buffs the stances have (game has a ton of various buffer characters). Hope you get Enhanced Tactics ring or two. Less useful expert rings can be broken on anvil in each city shopping area.
What you get from broken rings you can exchange at Precious Metal Merchant for character ring boxes like Scout Ring, Emilia Ring, etc.

I managed to get into Viron, now I'm stuck on the quest:
An Island Called ‘End of the World’ (4)

The quest asks that a series of quests have been completed:

- "Hidden Holy Water Chamber"
- "Catherine Torsche Questline"
- "5 Elemental piece-otite of wind questline"

Now I'm totally lost, I already did the normal Catherine's quest, I got the INT one.
But I can't start Torsche's questline... Could anyone guide me through this part?

[NocheLuz]

It was like 4 years that doing the quest. So it might be outdated. But to start "Hidden Holy Water Chamber" you'll need to finish the "Chateau de Bourgogne" quest first. The quest starts by using normal Emilia/The Sage and talking to Queen Hamaan in Earrac. IDK if you needed to finish Helena that happened after that. You can either kill her or recruit her, it doesn't matter but I think most people would go with recruiting her.

After you finish "Hidden Holy Water Chamber" you'll get holy water for the "Catherine Torsche quest". You'll need to create your Catherine (in this case, your Catherine INT) to do this quest. One of the quests requires you to protect your Catherine until the first announcement about a Traitor. Then you can just let her die and finish the mission by reducing Catherine Torsche's HP to 10% (I can't remember but you cannot kill her or the mission will fail). It might be difficult if your Catherine isn't strong enough because you'll end up with only 2 characters fighting in a difficult mission.

If you completed the "Catherine Torsche quest" the "5 Elemental piece-otite of wind questline" will begin. You can just do the mission normally (which is kind of like a puzzle) but the balancing makes the mission kind of easy and you now can solo the mission (but you'll need to do both lanes, aka. playing 2 times).

Good Luck with your quest. Also, I can't remember if you needed to create Catherine Torsche or not but I did remember you have to create her in one of the main questlines (which I can't remember if it was Viron or not).

I have now started the errac quests. Ty bro!

My source of questline guides used to be Pioneering Granado Espada blog. Google "Starstorm Granado Espada". Many things have changed in GE over the years, but information there is still useful for when you are lost while questing.

You don't need to enter Clock Tower to progress the quest. IIRC, the quest itself said you can just pay to pass the quest. Although, I think you don't even need to finish that quest to progress the Viron part 1 questline in the first place.

If I'm right, you might stuck on a quest that needs you to talk to the Alchemist, about the barrier around the Castle. This quest isn't triggered by itself so you might go to another quest by mistake.

To sum up,

1. Recruit Raven and his stance quest.
2. Complete the Black & White quest, which one you choose doesn't matter. But if you want a Reinforce Stance book just go for Black.
3. Complete Lucifer Castle Admission.
4. Complete Misfortune of Cortes. (As a part of Judgment Day)
5. Complete Demonic Jurgen, Knock the Gate of Hell, and finally, Judgment Day.

Seems like a lot but they lower the items required to progress by a lot. Some quests only needed about 1/100 of the original (mostly 1/10 or the drop rate is 100% instead of 10%). So it should not take too long to complete each quest. Also, if you have an Expert stance, it'll help you quite a lot in the quest. Even the final boss in Judgment Day only has an ATK/DEF rating of about 65 (maybe 62 or 67? I cannot remember) and only about 4m HP. Compared to the Expert stance which can output over 1m damage per skill even with Cresemento Equipments. This should not be that hard.
