1   (b/br/)
2   (b/br/b/)
3   (r/bb/)          [/]
4   (r/b/)            [/]
5   (r/bb/b/)       [/]
6   (rb/bb/)        [rr/]
7   (rbb/b/)        [/]          {bbrr/}
8   (rb/bb/)        [/]          {bbrr/}
9   (r/bbb/)        [/rr/]
10 (r/bb/b/)       [/]          {bbrr/}

Explanation: b means blue and r means red, so if it says brrb you take blue gate red gate red gate blue gate.

(route in here is zone 1)
[route in here is zone 2]
{route in here is zone 3}

"/" indicates there's a treasure there. So /b/r/ means there's a treasure before and after the blue gate then one after the red gate.

If the route stops at bb/ for example then it means that's all the required gates and you can take any path after that in that zone.

The red or blue gate you take at the first outpost matters but the blue gate in every outpost after that does not count in the route. If the route is bbr/ then the outpost gate wont be counted in the route.


                                                 ARCANTUS EXPLANATION

Because many people don't understand how arcantus works, i will be providing instructions.

Arcantus treasure hunting has 10 levels of treasures which grant points upon acquiring all the treasures for that level.
These points turn into UC. The amount of points you gain also grants rank points divided by a hundred. For example if the reward is 6200 points then you receive 62 rank points.

Upon completion of a treasure, you cannot gain points for it by repeating it. It can only be done once.
This limit is reset with every server update, as does the amount of the reward. Do note that any type of UC multipliers do not affect the UC you get for completing the treasure, however they do affect UC drops you pick up from defeating enemies.

Keys are required to access the blue or red gate to get to the next area. They are dropped by certain enemies.
The enemies that drop the keys have this icon: https://2img.net/h/s25.postimg.cc/lgyhm09e3/image.png

To avoid taking the wrong gate and ruining the whole run do not pick up the key you don't need.

The treasures you can select are determined by rank so if your rank isn't high enough, you cant select it. You can however ask a higher rank player to begin with you so you can select the treasure. To select level 10 bring a level 27 or higher hero. At this point he can leave and you can continue the quest.

The level requirement is as follows:

1                Ore Hero
2                New Hero                    <3>
3                New Hero                    <6>
4                Iron Hero                     <9>
5                Steel Hero                   <12>
6                Steel Hero                   <15>
7                Chrome Hero                <18>
8                Titanium Hero               <21>
9                Silver Hero                   <24>
10               Silver Hero                   <27>


AIR types are recommended as they can help you progress at a much faster rate.

Bots with REPAIR FIELD are also useful as ammo is replenished when arriving at a new area and you can repair your self when needed.


WHEN QUESTING IN A GROUP IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT, UNLIKE BASTAGANT, YOU CAN ONLY GET THE TREASURE FOR YOURSELF, NOT THE WHOLE GROUP!

I'm gonna update this post ~

very well, I shall sticky that

i'd use moghuls colour system but I don't know how to change the colour.
someone tell me how.

Let me quote how Moghul did it.

Code:

1 [color=#339933]bb/b/b/[/color]
2 [color=#ff6633]bb/r/b/[/color]
3 [color=#339933]b/r/[/color] [color=#ff6633]/b[/color]
4 [color=#ff6633]/rr/br/[/color]
5 [color=#339933]bbrr/[/color] [color=#ff6633]/rr/br/[/color]
6 r/b/r/b/
7 [color=#339933]r/r/[/color] [color=#ff6633]bbrr/[/color]
8 [color=#339933]skip[/color] [color=#ff6633]b/[/color] r/rr/b/
9 [color=#339933]skip[/color] [color=#ff6633]rb/b/[/color] r/rr/b/
10[color=#339933]skip[/color] [color=#ff6633]bbbb/[/color] rr/r/b/

7 r/r/ bbrr/
8 skip b/ r/rr/b/
9 skip rb/b/ r/rr/b/
10skip bbbb/ rr/r/b/

i tried the colour system and it worked but got too confusing and harder to manage so ill stick with this system for now.

Can you guys update this for this week? The title I mean.



Will work on the other areas after I squeeze the UC out of this Area first, which is probably treasure sets 1-3 only.

Edit: Avoid Area 7. I tried to check what's in it but it didn't give any treasure. Tried sets 2, 3, 10 and 6(which should be every treasure on the list) but to no avail.

StickyKeys as much as i like your help but i have accurate notes from JOELLUM.
First and foremost, area 7 does not have a sword, it has a wheel.
I double check all my routes and JOELLUM is VERY thorough. He's proven me wrong a few times and whenever there is emergency maintenance he always has the latest mapping.
In short : My routes are fine and if you don't believe me, go find a wheel in area 7. but pick a quest that needs a wheel.
No offense intended.

None taken. I was wondering what it was. I'll talk to Joel about mapping Zones 2 and 3. Thank you very much.

Edit: Since the maintenance is a day away I'll start remapping Arcantus then. Can you just post Joel's maps here? I can't contact him.

Edit(6/26/2014): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak9skABeuJZadFFmQVpuN2x5VE8tWFNjQ0xJZEdLYXc&authkey=CJfjpIgD&hl=en&authkey=CJfjpIgD#gid=9

All blue of zones 1-3 are (partially) complete. Will be doing R|B|B|B after a while.

Any updates? I'm interested to do Arcantus as much as I can from now. Also, looking for a single Arcantus partner :3

this is accurate, I did a single treasure yesterday before I felt like I wanted to bash my head against a wall.

Ok I'm currently paused at outpost Zone 3 (after doing Grade 1 treasure..sigh). Just a few more questions if you don't mind;

The rewards are in PTS. What can I use that for?

I saw Soundstorm posting result page of Arcantus with huuuugeeee amount of UC. He did that from collecting the UC Coin drop from the mob?

Currently doing Arcantus now. Updating on my copy for now. Will transfer to the public file soon. The mapping are commendable :3

There was no update last week because i was away from home for a few days. I apologize for any inconvenience.
