Route notes

• Find - look up where the required NPC or monster is and run there.
• Talk - choose the QUEST option and go through all the dialogues. If a dialogue offers several answers and the walkthrough does not name one, the choice does not matter (or the description is incomplete).
• Class change - at the start of the conversation with the NPC choose INFORMATION ON CHANGE OCCUPATION instead of QUEST, then the desired profession in the second menu, then CHANGE OCCUPATION in the third.
• Receive - only the item you are given is listed; the items taken from you are not mentioned.
• Hunt until you collect N items - the drop chance of a quest item from some monsters is fairly low, but one item usually takes no more than 10 monsters (in some cases up to 30-50). If it takes longer, you will most likely have to restart the quest.
• Travel - you do not have to use teleports; you can save money by walking. SoE is the Scroll of Escape. To know where an SoE takes you, C1 required the SoE Map patch, while in C2 you can use the /loc command. Either way, check in advance where to find the required NPCs so you do not end up looking for them in the wrong town.
