The Quest System ================================================ I. ---General Information/Disclaimer ================================================ This guide is Copyright 2007 Tyler Anderson. It may be redistributed without permission, but it may not be altered and credit must be given to me. Priston Tale is an MMORPG made by Triglow Pictures several years ago. It is free to play until level 39. When you pass level 39, your account will be frozen unless you pay fourteen dollars a month to play. The game can be downloaded at PristonTale.com. (eng.pristontale.com, to be exact) ================================================ II. ---Getting Started ================================================ After downloading and installing the game, you should be prompted to run it. Do so, and you'll see a menu screen with four options: Start Game, Register, Settings, and Quit. Register is what you want to press. Click it, and a browser should open and take you to the registration page, where you'll create the account you'll use to sign on with. After registering, you might want to take a minute to check the Settings menu. There, you can set chat macros, the quality of the graphics, resolution, and several other things such as those. When you're satisfied, click Start Game to get to the server select menu. There are currently five servers: Mardanos, Midranda, Galantia, Awell, and Migal. Each server is further split into Alpha and Beta. Every character you create will exist only on the server it was created on, but you will be able to switch between that server's Alpha and Beta servers. If you're going to be playing with friends, be sure to decide which server to use prior to character creation. Anyway, after choosing your server, the game will load. (Take this time to note the irony of putting a picture of a scantily-clad Priestess next to the message "Priston Tale is a game all ages can enjoy". After loading, you'll be brought to the screen where you enter in your account information, username and password and what not. If it's correct, you'll get to pick between to Alpha and Beta servers. When you're connected to the server, you'll finally arrive at the character creation menu, where you can continue games, delete characters, create new characters, or just exit the program. The next section will tell you some details on the different classes... ================================================ III. ---Character Creation ================================================ When you create a new character, you'll have to make three choices: 1. What tribe should they be in? (Each tribe has four classes) 2. Which class should they be? (Definitely the hardest decision to make) 3. What kind of hair/face should they have?! (This one is VITAL) Whether you choose Tempskron or Morion depends on the class and starting city you want. Below I've detailed the different tribes and their classes. ================================================ IV. ---Morion Classes ================================================ I really hope Triglow didn't intend for their name to be a joke. I mean, it sounds like "moron" and they're not the most technologically advanced race, relying more on their arcane skills... But anyway, Morions have the only real magic-users in the game, possessing both Priestesses (White Mages) and Magicians(Black Mages). Its remaining two classes are the Atalantas and the Knights, the latter of which is awesome against the undead and the former is just awesome-looking. Morions reside in the Northern-most town of Pillai, where there are two weapon shops, an item shop, a magic shop, a warehouse, and three ways to teleport. Priestess ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 15 STR 28 SPI 21 TAL 15 AGI 20 HLTH Description: They are pure and the holy people, and they do sacred work all the time. They always help other people and have strong faith. Their main armour consists of robes, and their weapons are mainly Staves or Wands. They are usually both slender and agile. Priestesses are the ONLY class than can heal without potions, and are a good addition to any party. If you choose this class, it'll be very hard to solo, but it won't be hard to find a party. Class Change Tree ----------------- Priestess-->Saintess-->Bishop-->Celestial Priestess Skills: Healing: Restores HP to a single target. Holy Bolt: Fires a bolt of holy lighting at a single target. Multi-Spark: Sends out multiple damage-inflicting sparks. Holy Mind: Reduces the attack strength of foes. Saintess Skills: Meditation: Raises your MP recovery rate.

Summon Muspell: Muspell helps you fight nearby enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magician ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 16 STR 29 SPI 19 TAl 14 AGI 21 HLTH Description: Their spiritual abilites are very powerful and their powerful spells prove it. They prefer using destructive magic over any other type. They use robes as armour and wands as weapons. Magicians are a great addition to parties because of their spells that cause spread damage. However, it's difficult to solo with them and they usually need someone to tank, or take the damage, while they hide along the sidelongs casting magic. They aren't nearly as high in demand as Priestesses, but are still a solid and powerful class. Class Change Tree ----------------- Magician-->Wizard-->Royal Wizard-->Archmage Magician Skills: Agony: Reduces your HP and increases your MP. Fire Bolt: Flings lava at a single target. Zenith: Temporary resistance to elemental attacks and spells. Fireball: Sends a giant ball of fire at enemies. Wizard Skills: Mental Mastery: Permanently increases you maximum MP.

Size depends on level. Flame Wave: A wave of fire destroys all within its path. Distortion: Temporarily reduces opponents' attributes. Meteorite: Meteors rain down from the heavens upon you enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Knight ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 26 STR 13 SPI 17 TAL 19 AGI 24 HLTH Description: They think about the body of oneself as pure, and train hard. When they use a sword, their holy powers are at their strongest. They can put on medium-weight armour and tend to use one-handed weapons, making them one of the few fighting classes that uses a shield at high levels. Knights are the closest thing their is to a Red Mage. They're durable, strong, can cast some protective spells against the undead, have several attacks good for causing spread damage, etc. They level up quickly and are a good choice for beginners. In addition, Knights can easily defeat almost any undead monster thanks to their myriad holy spells. Class Change Tree ----------------- Knight-->Paladin-->Holy Knight-->Saint Knight Knight Skills: Sword Blast: Unleashes a burst of holy energy that may hurt multilple foes. Holy Body: Raises resistance to the attacks of the undead. Physical Training: Permanent increase to Stamina. Double Crash: A powerful attack with a high chance for a critical hit. Paladin Skills: Holy Valor: Boosts attack strength against the undead. Brandish: Inflicts damage upon multiple enemies. Piercing: Thrusts forward and pierces your target.

Divine Piercing: Launches seven powerful slashes against a single target. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atalanta ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 23 STR 15 SPI 19 TAL 19 AGI 23 HLTH Description: Javelin-throwing women. They are rumoured to, in fact, be descended from Tempskrons because of their combat prowess. They are extremely swift. Atalantas are one of the more useless classes. They throw their javelins at foes from a short distance, making easy work of any single enemy. However, the only way they're able to survive against large groups is by utilizing their ability to stun monsters. Class Change Tree ----------------- Atalanta-->Valkyrie-->Brynhild-->Valhalla Atalanta Skills: Shield Strike: Stuns and wounds foes by smashing them with a shield. Farina: Accurately throws a javelin at one target. Throwing Mastery: Permanent increase to the Atalanta's javelin skills. Vigor Spear: Attack and opponent with immense boosts to strength. Valkyrie Skills: Windy: Temporary increase to the attack strength of Javelins. Twist Javelin: Throws a javelin hard. 30% bonus against demons. Soul Sucker: Absorbs enemy HP to increase your own. Fire Javelin: Throwns a javelin of fire. 50% more damage against mutants. Brynhild Skills: Split Javelin: Throws a javelin that splits in mid-air and lands on one foe.

Vengeance: Throws two javelins at a single target with massive power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And that's it for the Morions. I would like to take this time to note that the first class-change quest for the Morion tribe is EXTREMELY annoying. ================================================ V. ---Tempskron Classes ================================================ Originally the only tribe in PristonTale, the Tempskrons are all seasoned warriors. They hail from the city of Ricarten, an industrial paradise compared to Pillai. The classes of the Tempskron tribe are the Pikemen, the Fighters, the Mechanicians, and the Archers. Ricarten is home to the warpgate inventor, and if you bring him what he wants, he'll give you a "wing" that allows you to warp to more than just Pillai and Ricarten. Fighter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 28 STR 06 SPI 21 TAL 17 AGI 27 HLTH Description: They exist only to fight, and they like their fights up close and personal. Their highly trained bodies can withstand the harshest of environments, and can survive under the worst odds. Fighters tend not to wear protective armor or shields, preferring to travel light. Their rigorous training is obvious from their strong muscles, and they are always on a lookout for a good fight. Fighters are an excellent beginner's class. Most good Fighters use two-handed axes, eliminating the need for shields, and some Fighters even fight without much body armour. They are the ultimate tanking class, making them good to solo with and to party with. Class Change Tree ----------------- Fighter-->Warrior-->Champion-->Immortal Warrior Fighter Skills: Melee Mastery: Increases damage of melee weapons forever. Fire Attribute: Permanently increase your fire resistance. Raving: Go berserk, increasing your damage and decreasing your HP. Impact: Delivers two mighty swings on one foe.

Berserker: Decreases absorb for an increased attack. Cyclone Strike: Rotates and forms a cyclone, harming multiple enemies. Boost Health: Permant boost to HP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pikeman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 26 STR 09 SPI 20 TAL 19 AGI 25 HLTH Description: A master of pole-arms, these warriors strike terror deep into the hearts of prospective enemies. Their gift of far sight and intimate knowledge of terrain gives them access to the most inaccessible of places. In fact, ESPECIALLY the ones that are impossible to access. Pikemen are generally thought to be the most ownage class ever. That is to say, almost everyone agrees that Pikemen are the ultimate melee class. They have powerful equipment, good stats, and, quite honestly, some of the most awesome- looking skills. But they take damage like mages. Class Change Tree ----------------- Pikeman-->Combatant-->Lancer-->Lancelot Pikeman Skills: Pike Wind: Creates a whirlwind that knocks your foe back. Ice Attribute: Permanent increase in ice defense. Critical Hit: Targets foes twice on their weak spots, causing critical damage. Jumping Crash: Leaps into the air to attack with hightened accuracy and power.

Lancer Skills: Venom Spear: Causes poisoned spears to consume surrounding foes. Vanish: Makes you invisible for a short amount of time. Critical Master: Permanent increase to odds of landing a critical hit. Chain Lance: Jumps into air, attacking a single foe. Lancelot Skills: Assasin's Eye: Makes an enemy vulnerable to attacks. Charging Strike: Charges a foe, delivering three mighty strikes. Vague: Increases evasion if you're using spear-type weapons. Shadow Master: Strikes a single target with five piercing blows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 17 STR 11 SPI 21 TAL 27 AGI 23 HLTH Description: These female warriors are unmatched in their skills in projectile weapons. Preferring to take enemies out from a distance, their favorite weapon is the bow. Archers are the essential ranged supporters of any battle, and they tend to blend into the environment, out of sight. Archers are an alright supporting class for parties. It might be a little hard to solo as an archer, as their defenses and HP both aren't as high as they could be. Still, any lone foe will fall before an archer. Class Change Tree ----------------- Archer-->HuntressMaster-->Dion'sDisciple-->Sagittarian Archer Skills: Scout Hawk: Summons a hawk that raises attack and accuracy. Shooting Mastery: Permanent increase to attack with bows. Wind Arrow: Fires an arrow that always hits. Hits normal monsters hardest. Perfect Aim: Fires a powerful arrow that does extra damage against Demons. HuntressMaster Skills: Dion's Eye: A hawk appears and increases attack and accuracy.

Dion'sDisciple Skills: Elemental Shot: Fires fire and lightning arrows, causing splash damage. Golden Falcon: Summons a golden falcon that heals and fights. Bomb Shot: Fires two explosive arrows that damage anything within range. Perforation: Fires an arrow that pierces anything and causes splash damage. Sagittarian Skills: Recall Wolverine: Summons a wolf to attack your enemies. Evasion Mastery: Permanent increase to your evasion. Phoenix Shot: Fires a firey arrow with boosted speed and strength. Force of Nature: Increases the power of your Falcon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanician ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Starting Stats: 24 STR 08 SPI 25 TAL 18 AGI 24 HLTH Description: One of the most unique classes on the continent of Priston, a mechanician is a master of mechanical objects. . Endlessly researching about mechanics, they have developed a set of skills like no other. Mechanicians tend to have heavy built suits and are not very aggressive. Mechanicians have skin as thick as the skull of whoever named them, so they tend to have high absorb ratings, making them alright tanks for parties, especially when they can use Physical Absorption at level 17. However, they have some trouble dealing high amounts of damage, so they're more suited to fighting in parties. Class Change Tree ----------------- Mechanician-->Mechanic Master-->Metal Leader-->Heavy Metal Mechanician Skills: Extreme Shield: Temporary increase to block rating with shields. Mechanic Bomb: Thows a bomb that causes damage to all foes within range. Poison Attribute: Permanent increase to poison defenses. Physical Absorption: Increases your absorption temporarily. Mechanic Master Skills: Great Smash: Delivers a mighty smash with hightened accuracy. Maximize: Temporary increase do your maximum damage. Automation: Temporary increase to accuracy and speed with bows and javelins. Spark: Creates a spark that damages multiple enemies. Metal Leader Skills: Metal Armor: Temporary increase to defense rating when use Mech Spec armor. Grand Smash: Unleashes two mighty blows upon a single foe. Mechanic Weapon Mastery: Permanent increase to attack of Mech Spec weapons. Spark Shield: Increases defense of shields and damage against machine monsters. Heavy Metal Skills: Impulsion: Creates a spark that damages multiple monsters. Compulsion: Creates a field that pulls in monsters and boosts absorb. Magnetic Sphere: Creates three spheres that attack nearby enemies. Metal Golem: Summons a gigantic golem wrought from metal to destroy your foes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ================================================ VI. ---HUD and Controls and More ================================================ Okay, so you've chosen your tribe and your class. Before the game starts, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the Heads-Up Display and the controls. HUD --- The HUD is pretty simple. A red bar shows your HP, a large blue bar your MP, a green bar you Stamina, and a thin blue bar your percentage of EXP. (100 minus that number is the percentage of EXP you need to level up) Right in the middle of all that is two circles, which show you what skills you have set to your right and left mouse buttons. That's about it for HUD... --- Quick Keys ---------- ESC: Brings up the quit game menu. TAB: Turns the Map on and off. 1: Uses the potion set to the "1" shortcut, if one is. 2: Same as 1, but with potion shortcut 2. 3: Same as 1, but with potion shortcut 3. Enter: Brings up the chat menu. Note that pressing 1, 2, or 3 will not make you use a potion while the chat menu is open. Left Click: Allows you to talk, attack, use the skill set to the left mouse button, pick up items, etc, etc. Your main method of interacting with PT. Right Click: Use the skill assigned to the right mouse button. Mouse Wheel: Adjusts the camera, unless it's locked. Z: Changes the type of camera. The options are Manual, Auto, and Lock. Manual gives you full control, Auto gives you some control, and Lock fixes its position. X: Opens up the Quit/Help menu. C: Brings up the character sheet. S: Brings up the Skill sheet. W: Switches between your two sets of equipment. V: Brings up the inventory. E: Switches to inventory 2. R: Toggles between run and walk. D: Toggles party screen. F1-F8: Select skills. Space: Closes current window. --There are also several chat commands, listed below.-- /:: Checks if the player is online. /: : Sends that message to that player. //party : Invites that player to your party. @: Sends that message to your party. /CLAN>: Send a message to your clan. "Yes!" or "yahoo": Your character does a victory dance. ------- There, now you know how to interact with the world of Priston Tale. With this knowledge in tow, it's finally time to begin the game. ================================================ VII. ---The Early Levels ================================================ When you begin the game in your Tribe's town, either Ricarten or Pillai, you'll start what can only be described as a very basic tutorial. Occasionally, a message will appear in the top left of the screen in broken English. In addition, a small flying "pet" will help you fight from levels 1-10, all the while spouting inane nonsense. All in all, this tutorial is nigh on pointless, only really serving to tell you where to find the most basic enemies, and probably the only things you can kill. What you should do now is equip the items that were just given to you, find the monsters you were told to go fight, and then procede to kill them until you get a bit of gold. Be careful, though, as you have no potions to heal you. Anyway, odds are you will have gotten a fair amount of gold and maybe some items to sell at a shop. Buy a few potions, heal, place the extras in your potion shortcuts(Which are in the middle of the screen, at the bottom), and go repeat the process until you level up a bit. Now go back to town and do what you did last time, only this time check for better equipment. See my item guide if you're confused about the advantages of different pieces of equipment. And that's pretty much it until level 20. You should find a different place to fight monsters every few levels, to get better experience points and drops. A good place for low level players to train is the Forest of Twilight. To get there, head straight South from Pillai--don't worry about getting more potions, there's a shop near the forest. The Shop NPC is shown as a green dot on your mini-map. ================================================ VIII. ---The Different Pets ================================================ Name: Terry Ability: Inflicts Flame damage to monsters. Name: Napsys Ability: Inflicts Ice damage to monsters. Name: Eor Ability: Inflicts Electric damage to monsters. Name: Mut Ability: Heals you. ================================================ IX. ---Sheltoms/Aging ================================================ Sheltoms are used in Mixing and Aging, which can boost the power of you equipment. You can get things Aged in Pillai and things Mixed in Ricarten. Aging ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items can be Aged up to ten times, but each time there is a risk of losing your money, the Sheltoms, and the item. Note that every two Aging levels, your item will require one more normal level to wield/wear. There are a few different types of Sheltoms: Fadeo Sparky Raident Transparo Murky Devine Celesto Each Aging requires different Sheltoms. +1: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 1 Raident +2: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents +3: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 1 Transparo +4: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos +5: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos, 1 Murky +6: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos, 2 Murkies +7: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos, 2 Murkies, 1 Devine +8: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos, 2 Murkies, 2 Devines +9: 2 Fadeos, 2 Sparkies, 2 Raidents, 2 Transparos, 2 Murkies, 2 Devines, 1 Celesto. +10: Two of every Sheltom. After being Aged, an item will have a bar underneath it, which is essentially an experience bar. When it fills, the item "levels up", and it gets stronger. Different items get EXP different ways: Axes, Maces, Wands/Staves: Normal hit on monster Scythes, Swords, Claws, Javelins, Bows: Critical hit on monster Armors, Robes, Orbs/Beads: Get hit by monster Shields: Block a monsters' hit In addition, the effects Aging has on an item changes with each Aging: Axes: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +10 Attack Rating Claws: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +0.5 Critical +5 Attack Rating Swords: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +0.5 Critical +5 Attack Rating Scythes: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +0.5 Critical +5 Attack Rating Bows: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +0.5 Critical Wands & Staves: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +10 Add Mana +10 Attack Rating Maces: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +10 Attack Rating Javelins: +1 Minimum Attack Power +1 Maximum Attack Power +0.5 Critical Shields: +0.5% Block +0.2 Absorb Armors & Robes: +5% Defense +0.5 Absorb Orbs & Beads: +0.5 Absorb +5% Defense Note that the effects stack, so if X is the Aging bonus after the first Aging, then X*2 is the bonus after two Agings, then X*3 after three, and so on. ================================================ X. ---Sheltoms/Mixing ================================================ ================================================ XI1. ---The Party System ================================================ In the land of Priston, you will find countless people out to steal every kill you attempt to make. At points I've seen the highest-level players killing the weakest monsters just to annoy the newbs. When Priston Tale gets boring, you'll probably be one of the many (myself included) just playing to piss people off. Until that time comes, the only way for you to get any real EXP is by having a large party backing you up. Unfortunately, you can only party with half a dozen people, and though the monsters give more EXP if there is a party killing them, it's not going to make leveling any easier; in fact, it gets harder unless each person in the party can pull their own weight, and there are a lot of people that join parties then just walk away so they don't get attacked but still get EXP. After many months of playing, I've concluded that this is probably the best way to get EXP without going insane, but I still don't endorse it. Oh, and people in the party can see the other members on the map, no matter where they are. Handy for friends. ================================================ XI2. ---The Stat System ================================================ Strength: Adds Attack Power and Stamina, and increases the Stamina Recovery Rate and the Carry Weight. Having a high Strength will also let a character run faster. STR should be high for most characters, except Magic-users, who get most of their bonuses from Spirit. Spirit: Increases the character’s stamina, mana, and mana recovery rate. SPI is crucial to all magic-users, and important for characters that use a lot of mana-heavy skills. It also allows your character to wear more useful accessories, but for non-magic characters it should still only be raised to the level required for the best equipment for your character, then ignored. Talent: Increases accuracy, attack, defense, stamina and speed. TAL is required for many melee weapons. Agility: Increases accuracy, projectile damage and defense. AGI is one of the main stats Archers should focus on. Health: Increases stamina, carry weight, speed, HP, HP regeneration rate and mana recovery rate. ================================================ XI2. ---The Quest System ================================================ The majority of quests in Priston Tale are unbelievably simple. Did I say majority? Sorry, I meant EVERY SINGLE ONE. A guide outlining every subtle nuance of each quest would be completely pointless, at the same exact formula is used for all the non-class-changing quests. There are two people that hand out quests; one in Pillai and one in Ricarten. They give essentially the same quests, except they tell you to kill different monsters. Oh, by the way, that's all you do. Kill monsters and go back and talk to the woman that gave you the quest for a reward. (Usually useless, like some potions) Eventually, though, better quests do open up. At level twenty, you finally get to change your class. Tempskrons, unfortunately, get another generic kill-quest. They must find and kill three wolves, a bronze, silver, and gold, which only appear at night in certain areas. (The forests/swamps to the West of Ricarten.) Since Morions got added about a year after the initial release, Triglow was more than ready to abandon their tried and true quest system, and made the giant leap...into fetch-quests. Fetch-quests where are you do is kill until you get a certain item. As a bonus, Morions get TWO different first-level class-up quests. In one, your goal is to get ten pieces of bark from a demon-tree monster. I never got this quest personally, but from what I gather it can take days, or even weeks. After gathering them all, you Mix them with a special quest item and present that as proof of passing the quest. In the second, you must go to the same area as in the first, the Forest of Spirits, and this time you're hunting bee dogs. You need nine things of their honey. The first time I did this, it literally took me a month; being in a party makes it less likely to get the honey drop, but without one Kill-Stealers make it nearly impossible to actually kill anything yourself. Anyway, with the honey collected, one merely goes to Ricarten and Ages the honey (In a special jar given to you at the start of the quest) and you get Royal Jelly! Present this to the man that gave you the quest, and you class-up! Each tribe gets four class-up quests, each about as straight-forward as these. The only other quest-like event in the game, besides the several quests which require you to be over level 80 to start, is the fetch-quest of getting Wings. No, not wings on your character, that would be too awesome. What you do is just collect a few items, go to Ricarten, and give them and some gold to a scientist by the Warp; he'll reward you with a Wing, a small orb, that allows you to use the gate to warp to other areas. (For a token fee.) --Metal Wing-- Requires: 3,000 Gold, Hopy Crystal, HobGoblin Crystal Areas: Bamboo Forest, Land of Dusk Cost to use: 100 Gold --Silver Wing-- Requires: Metal Wing, HobGoblin Crystal, Decoy Crystal, 5,000 Gold Areas: Ruinen Cost to use: 200 Gold --Gold Wing-- Requires: Silver Wing, Decoy Crystal, Bargon Crystal, 10,000 Gold Areas: Navisko Cost to use: 500 Gold --Diamond Wing-- Requires: Gold Wing, Headcutter Crystal, Figon Crystal, 20,000 Gold Areas: Forbidden Land Cost to use: 1,000 Gold Level Required: 55 --Chaos Wing-- Requires: Diamond Wing, Figon Crystal, King Hopy Crystal, 20,000 Gold Areas: Eura Village Cost to use: 2,000 Gold Level Required: 90
