⚫ | |||
− | '''This strategy is aimed at the lvl '''70''' SCH G5, and assumes the SCH has capped [[Magic]] [[Skill]], Good/Excellent INT, and equipment for [[Dark Arts]]).''' See discussion if you are 71+. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | *Before entering the battlefield use [[Cream Puff]], [[Blink Band]], and (if you can afford it) [[Stoneskin Torque]]. These will '''NOT''' wear upon entering! |
||
+ | {{spoiler2}} |
||
− | *Upon entering the battlefield, cast [[Shell III]] upon yourself, use [[Dark Arts]], then [[Addendum: Black]], then [[Alacrity]], then [[Ebullience]], and then target the [[Crimson Grimoire]]. [[Macro]]s are '''VITAL''' here, as you need to perform the above a quickly as is possible. Using an [[Intelligence Potion]] at this point may cause the following scenario to occur, so be warned: |
||
− | *If Gunther manages to cast [[Shell III]] upon the [[Crimson Grimoire]], you have been too slow in performing the above, and rendered this fight practically impossible. |
||
− | *Immediately cast [[Stone IV]] on the [[Crimson Grimoire]], then [[Alacrity]] + [[Blizzard III]]. If you are '''lucky''', the [[Crimson Grimoire]] will be dead. If it is not, you soon will be! |
||
− | *It is worth noting that at this point if the [[Crimson Grimoire]] is [[Light]] or [[Stone]] or Dark [[Element]], you '''WILL''' fail this fight '''PERIOD'''... If the [[Crimson Grimoire]] starts casting [[Ice]] [[Magic]] after your [[Stone IV]] lands, then cast [[Alacrity]] + [[Fire III]] instead. (There is currently no way of telling the [[Element]] of the [[Crimson Grimoire]] before it is too late. Go back to [[East Ronfaure (S)]], get another [[Testimony]], and try over). |
||
− | *The [[Crimson Grimoire]] can be of any element. Spells of the same element cast on the Grimoire will heal it. The [[Crimson Grimoire]] will only cast spells of its own [[Element]]. |
||
− | *After the [[Crimson Grimoire]] has died, quickly use [[Tabula Rasa]] and cast [[Dispel]] on Gunther. This may or may not rid Gunther of his [[Shell III]], which is the desired outcome. |
||
− | *Using [[Alacrity]] and [[Ebullience]], cast [[Thunder III]] on Gunther, followed by another [[Alacrity]] and [[Ebullience]] and [[Aero III]]. It is recommended that at this point you use a [[Vile Elixir]] and/or [[Hyper Potion]] as required. You will not have time for [[Cure]]s, and [[Drain]] is generally ineffective. |
||
− | *Gunther should now be at below 1/2 health. Using [[Alacrity]] / [[Parsimony]] (depending on race) and [[Ebullience]], cast [[Stone IV]] on Gunther. If he is still alive by this point, use [[Alacrity]] and [[Blizzard III]] on him. If you have had no resists, Gunther will now give in! There will follow a lengthy and satisfying cutscene! |
||
− | |||
− | If he starts to melee you, it is wise to run away from him. He will eventually start casting a spell instead which allows you to not get interrupted by his melee. |
||
− | |||
− | *[[Crimson Grimoire]] has around 700 HP. |
||
− | *Gunther has around 1250 HP. |
||
− | *Gunther's AI is similar to that of a mage-type beastman. He will not move into melee range until his HP falls below a certain percent, although on occasion this does not appear to be the case. |
||
− | *Both Gunther and the [[Crimson Grimoire]] are heavily resistant to [[Sleep]] even with [[Voidstorm]] + [[Klimaform]]. |
||
− | |||
− | |||
− | *Won in 1 minute 57 seconds at SCH70. Used the exact tactic above. Gear was SCH AF with Elemental Torque and anything else that increased INT, which put me to around +29. Grimoire went down in 2 shots, Gunther in about 4. No potions used. |
||
− | |||
− | *Won in 2 minutes 0 seconds at SCH70 all normal cheap AH/AF besides waist, which was a [[Penitent's rope]] (int 75+33 with food). |
||
− | Fight Progression: Stone IV followed by Blizzard III killed the book. Tabula Rasa Dispel for Schultz, then Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Stone IV, Cure IV on self, then Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Blizzard III and Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Stone IV for the victory. |

Notice: This quest does not need to be completed (for level limit increasing) if the quest New Worlds Await (or higher) has already been completed.
- Zone into present-day Xarcabard on Scholar level 66 or higher for a cutscene. You need to have all Scholar Artifact quests completed to receive the cutscene and begin this quest.
- You have to until game day change after completing the previous quest in order to get this cutscene in Xarcabard.
- Obtain a Scholar's Testimony from Orcs in East Ronfaure (S) or the The Eldieme Necropolis (S). The Orcs in East Ronfaure (S) are weaker and respawn in only 5 minutes (as opposed to 15 minutes in Eldieme), and they are easier to reach.
- Trade the Scholar's Testimony to the Indescript Markings at (G-8)/(H-8) in present-day Xarcabard and you will be transported to the Throne Room.
- Touch the door to the Throne Room for another cutscene.

Your testimony will begin to wear and will be rendered unusable after 2 more attempts, and will remain in your inventory with no apparent changes.

- You will enter a battle against Gunther and the Crimson Grimoire. You have 10 minutes to defeat Gunther. It is not necessary to defeat the Crimson Grimoire to win.
- In the event that you are knocked unconscious during the fight, you will NOT lose EXP if you have not completed another level 71 limit break. However, if you have completed a level 71 limit break quest on another job, you WILL lose EXP.
