Sign Quest
WORDS OF CAUTION:
- When doing the four pre-requisite quests, do follow the guides closely and avoid diverting from what is indicated. This is to minimize the chances of any bugs and errors from happening.
- Some NPCs may need to be talked to MORE THAN ONCE. They may have different dialogues each time. You won't be able to trigger the next part of the quest without exhausting an NPCs responses.
- Sometimes, some NPCs will not trigger their supposed dialogue. These four quests were originally made without the intent of players just warping directly to the quest NPCs. In this case, you may need to walk around the area of the NPC, or enter the designated portal that leads into the room where the NPC is located. After that, try talking again to the NPC.

Part 1: Crumbs of Sobbing Starlight
1. Read the Announcement on a notice board in one of the cities. All the announcements are the same, so it is only necessary to read one.
- Alberta: (35 241)
- Morroc: (168 265)
- Payon: (160 183)
- Prontera: (147 305)
- Geffen: (168 175)
- Al De Baran: (54 223)
2. Enter a Prontera building (263/275) and talk to the Archeologist Metz (@warp prt_in 227 45) about the announcement. Speak to him again and agree to help him. He mentions Arian, who first tests you for your competency.
3. Go inside a Morroc building (283/173) and talk to the rogue Arian (@warp morocc_in 115 154) for the first test. He desires the following sets of items (bring only the set he asks for each time and NO other sets, i.e. not 100 Fluff and 50 Poison Spore at the same time. Otherwise, he will take all the quest items and you'll need to recollect):
- 100 Fluff (Fabre: @warp prt_fild06) ID [914]
- 50 Poison Spore (Poison Spore: @warp pay_fild05) ID [7033]
- 30 Scorpion Tail (Scorpion: @warp moc_fild20) ID [904]
- 20 Rotten Bandage (Mummy: @warp moc_pryd03) ID [930]
- 15 Little Evil Horn (Mini Demon/Deviruchi: @warp gefenia03) ID [1038]
- 10 Coral Reef (Penomena: @warp alde_dun03, @warp treasure02 | Aster: @warp cmd_fild04) ID [7013]
- Tip: Bring everything and drop it on the ground to avoid 600 trips to storage.
4. After Arian has all the items he wanted, speak to the Young Man, Gaanan (@warp morocc_in 114 162) above him. Gaanan will asks 5 questions, to which the answers are:
- 1. Stranded on an island: Fourth option
- 2. Stuck in a collapsed building: Fourth option
- 3. Lost in a dungeon: Third option
- 4. A murder is commited: First option
- 5. The world is going to end: Fourth option (save the world)
After answering correctly, talk to Arian to be rewarded with a 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight. Now journey to Payon to find Daewoon for the second test.
5. Go inside a Payon building (130/204) and talk to Daewoon, three rooms SOUTH WEST of the entrance (@warp payon_in03 11 31). Select any option to "Do you have any idea what that jewel you're holding actually is?" and begin his test. You will receive different EXP based on your response here. Whether you suceed will depend on how much your answers appeal to him. The best choices see below.
- 1. Option #1, Yes
- 2. Option #2, I hate people who do that
- 3. Option #2, I can't destroy such beauty...
- 4. Option #1, Yes, of course!
- 5. Option #1, Yes
You can take the test again if you failed. If you succeeded, Daewoon then gives you a 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight, bringing the total to two.
- Note: For question 3, the option "Close my eyes and attack/smash it" is also accepted.
6. Enter the lower right Aldebaran building (223/56) and find Sir Jore (@warp aldeba_in 155 101). He asks for the following items after he fails his experiment.
- Note: While Sir Jore has a 1 hour sleeping time. If you can't speak to him, return to him after an hour.
- 10 Empty Test Tube (purchasable at tool dealer in Geffen Mage academy @warp geffen_in 171 123)
- 2 Yggdrasil Leaf (Wanderer: @warp gl_cas02)
- 10 Green Herb (Pet Store: @warp ayo_in01 43 90)
7. After collecting the items, Sir Jore requires information about the Stone of Sage from two famous alchemists. Talk to Piru Piru (@warp aldeba_in 156 118), just north west from Sir Jore) and she'll reveal the location of the two alchemists: the south forest
- Note: This step is OPTIONAL, and only exists to give the player some more guidance. You can go straight to step 8.
8. First, find the daughter Pleur on the second floor of the Hidden Temple (@warp prt_maze02 57 151).
- If entered the maze from prt_fild01: go up, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor.
- If entered the maze from mjolnir_12 (suggested; one south of Aldebaran): go down, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor.
Once near her, one of two things will happen.
- You'll be teleported and catch up with both father and daughter alchemists on the same map, thus completing this portion of the quest.
- You'll become "lost" and be teleported to either (prt_maze01) or (prt_maze03).
Upon becoming lost, keep finding Pleur until teleported to (prt_maze02). However, finding her again from (prt_maze03) is very difficult and time consuming: it is faster to just return to a save point and come back to the maze again from either (prt_fild01) or (mjolnir_12).
- Note: It is possible to use Teleport level 1 or Fly Wings to get to the spot where the father and daughter alchemists are. It may take a while, but can potentially be less stressful than getting "lost".
9. Once caught up with them (prt_maze02 14, 183) & (prt_maze02 16, 183), talk to Gordon and select the second option about the Stone. After that expect to be teleported to one south of Aldebaran (mjolnir_12).
10. Tell Sir Jore what was discovered about the Stone of Sage from Gordon. When he asks what the Stone of Sage is, enter the response [Red Gemstone]. He'll hand over the third 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and mentions Jesqurienne in Geffen.
11. Inside the top right Geffen building (168/170) is a female drinker, Jesqurienne (geffen_in 59, 74). Tell her you've heard of her, and then call her a stuck-up chick to accept her challenge.
12. Talk to her boyfriend Aaron at the same table to begin the challenge. In order to win, more or equal questions must be answered correctly than Jesqurienne. The ten multiple choice questions presented will also be chosen at random.

- Note: The waiting time for this NPC should have been removed unlike in iRO.
14. Now he'll ask for artsy items. You must collect 11 or more points worth of different artsy items in order to continue.
Here are all of the known examples: (w/ point values and npc location listed next to them)
After you hand them to him, you will receive 13,000 EXP.
15. Finally, Dearles proposes a dancing test.
- Note: Dance Test was removed in BraveRO, automatically the test is passed after to talk with the NPC.
Steps:
- up left
- down right
- down left & up right
- down right
- down left & up right & up left & stay center
- down left & down right & down left
- down right & center & down right
- down left & up left & up right & down right & center
- down left & up right & up left & down right
- up right & down right & up right & down right
- up left & up right & center & up right & down left & down right
- Note: This is customized to be automatically get finished in bRO.
- Note: You don't have to reach the end of the spot, just touch one of the first lines of the step to make it count. This strategy helps out to successfully finish the test.
- Note: When a "Hide" spot is seen at the dancing test room, move to it to "Unhide" the spot, indicating a dance move was performed correctly.
- Note: The last part is tricky: sometimes it's the center sometimes it's down, even if it says center. Be sure to check the "Hide" spot for the last part.
16. After the dance examiner states the test was passed, talk to Dearles for the fifth 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 16,830 EXP.
17. Leave to Alberta to find Bakerlan, the Wealthy looking Merchant. He is located inside a top left Alberta building (@warp alberta 93 203) in the first room upstairs (@warp alberta_in 125 101).

Mahatra gives you a quest to help the Maid, Seylin (@warp alberta_in 154 171) in the second floor corridor. Seylin will ask your help to get Vigorgra as a gift for her brother.
21. Proceed to the Alchemist Guild in Aldebaran (68/56) and find an Alchemist, Melkaba (@warp alde_alche 169 162), downstairs and to the right.

22. After receiving the Vigorgra, go back to Seylin. She'll need the Vigorgra and a letter send to her brother at Prontera Castle.
23. Go to Prontera Castle and find her brother, Maruin (@warp prt_castle 107 58), at the entrance of the banquet hall.
24. After he gets the items, return to Seylin. She rewards you with 3 Panacea.

Part 2: The Complete Sobbing Starlight
1. Continue talking to Metz. He tells you that if you can merge all the Crumb of Sobbing Starlights into the 7178.png Sobbing Starlight, he'll reveal more secrets. But there's only one Blacksmith who has the skill to forge it and no one knows his whereabouts. Metz tells you his family lives in Geffen.
- Note: You'll need to talk to him few times to activate the second quest.
2. Go to a Geffen building (@warp geffen 138 101) and find a Lonely Looking Woman, Brenda (@warp geffen_in 159 48). You'll need to key in her husband's name Engel Howard. She'll tell you they moved to Geffen because it's near her husband's work place.
3. She asks you go talk to Cute Girl, Liana (@warp geffen_in 171 42). The cute little girl will ask you to send a Picture Letter to her father.

- 5 Mini Furnace (@warp geffen_in 109 172)
- 2 Oridecon Hammer
- 1 Golden or 989.png 1 Emperium Anvil
- Note: The higher quality the anvil, the higher chance it'll succeed. Emperium Anvil is the best, but your anvil will not be returned once you give it to him. You get one chance with any anvil of your choice, but if that attempt fails, you will need to return with a Golden or Emperium Anvil instead.
After you pass over the items he needs, he'll ask you send the a letter to his Wife while waiting for him to complete the forging.
5. Go back to Geffen and pass the letter to his Wife, Brenda. Before you leave make sure to talk to the Cute Girl, Liana for a reward.
- Receive 10 Candy.
6. Go back to the Coal Mines and talk to Engel. If he failed to forge it, recollect the ingredients and a higher quality anvil instead (Golden or Emperium Anvil only). If it succeeded, you'll get the Sobbing Starlight. Go back Prontera and talk to Metz (@warp prt_in 227 45). (Flaming Spirit Man NPC)
7. When you tell Metz the good news, he's very happy you repaired the Sobbing Starlight. Unfortunately, he can't read the ancient words inside of it, so he sends you to the Magician, Dhota in Geffen.
8. Go to the Geffen Tower (@warp geffen 120 110) and find Annoyed Man, Dhota (@warp gef_tower 118 36) and the highest floor. Key in the [Sobbing Starlight] and he'll ask you to go to Umbala to get the solution instead.
- The Umbala Language Quest must be completed in order to continue.
9. Go to Umbala and talk to a Native named Laotan (@warp umbala 163 256) for clue. But he will only exchange the clue for a Mr. Smile.
Talk to Miss Smile to make Mr. Smile at Geffen/Prontera/Morroc/Alberta/Etc. Bring it to him. 10. According to the Native, you must go to the building in Umbala (111/121) on the ground level, south of the spawn point. When you enter, you find a Fastidious-Looking Guy, Cyon (@warp um_in 27 23). After you tell him your intentions he'll ask you to collect 10 Worn Out Pages.
- Note: On servers that still have Umbala Dungeon (iRO Classic) Cyon is located inside a house at (@warp um_dun01 129 90).

After bringing him the required items, he hands over an Ancient Document. Return to Prontera for Metz.
Part 3: The Ancient Document
1. Metz states Frank needs to translate the Ancient Document.
2. Go to Alberta and to find a Fastidious Old Man, Frank (@warp alberta 165 83). But he seems to talking to himself and mumbles about his eyesight.
* Go to Alberta's Armor Dealer (@warp alberta_in 180 20) and buy him a pair of Glasses.
3. Once he receives the Glasses, he'll help translate the Ancient Document. Once he finishes, keep talking to him until he gives you the Translated Ancient Language (2% chance).
4. Now go collect these items and bring them to the Giant Telescope in the West Geffen Field (@warp gef_fild07 178 244).

Move onto one of the chairs (gef_fild07 182, 241) there to find an entrance to the Valkyrie Temple.
5. Keep going up to find Valkyrie, Sandra (himinn 48, 85)(Do not directly warp here). After speaking to her, she kicks you out to Geffen.
6. Talk to the Metz again and he'll refer you to Nifflheim.
- Note: The Witch's Piano Keys Quest must be completed to continue.
7. When arriving at Nifflheim find a Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin (@warp niflheim 313 70). She requires help: answer "Sure, go ahead" followed by "Sure, let's do it". The next answer determines how you wish to continue the quest.
A. Sure, why not? (Longer quest but receive Serin's Gold Ring as a reward along with some experience) B. Why should I help them. (Shorter quest)
- Most NPCs here are DEAD NPCs. So in order to talk to them, walk near them to let them initiate a conversation. To talk back, click on the NPC's head.
Part 4a: Sure Why Not?
1. Once "I understand." is selected, track down a kid, Alakina Anne (@warp niflheim 169 162). She'll cry about wanting to go back home. After talking to her again "About the curse", she'll spew hints.
- Walk near her and let her speak to you first then start clicking her head.
2. Go next to (don't click on it) the Cursed Spirit, Ashe Bruce (@warp niflheim 350 258). He senses your strength, select the pull and read the 3rd book. You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option). It takes a few tries of inputting this spell until his curse is finally broken.
- 4th option is tricky, as it's in white.
3. When the curse is successfully broken, the Witch's Spell Book will be received.
4. Go near Anne and she'll ask for help to go back. Choose "What can I do?" and then go find the Witch at the Witch Tower.
5. The Witch is in the highest building (@warp niflheim 254 191) in Nifflheim. Follow the carpet in the Piano room and to enter the Witch's Room. DO NOT CLICK ON, but go stand next to the Witch, Kirkena (@warp nif_in 188 168) (if you click on her you will be teleported back to Umbala) so she begins talking. (If she is clicked on, you can wait until the dialogue time-outs, about 60 seconds. The Next button will change to Close and you may try again.) Give her the Witch's Spell Book and choose "There's a lost child here I want to help." She'll hand over a Wing Of Crow. The only way to escape from her room is to use a Butterfly Wing, Warp Portal, or click her head and be sent to the Umbala Jump Point.
6. Go near Anne and she'll thank you. Then go near the Anne again and she'll say you lied to her, and she still can't go back.
7. Go back to Kirkena for an explanation. She'll say the Wing Of Crow only can be used by living people, which means Anne is dead.
8. You did your best, so you head back and talk to Serin. Even though you can't help Alakina, she still thanks you. And as she promised, she'll give you her important item, Serin's Gold Ring as reward. Talk to Serin again and she'll ask you to find Greyryu the Poet.
- Don't equip Serin's Gold Ring during the quest, or it'll be confiscated by certain NPCs!
9. Go inside a Nifflheim building (187/241) and you'll find Crayu (@warp nif_in 105 81). Go near Crayu. After answering a few questions he asks you to find Gen.
10. You find a Depressing Man, Gen (@warp niflheim 146 241) just West of the building you enter. Talk to him and you find out he was the chosen one once, but failed, and he cautions you. He advises you to find the Witch for help.
Part 4b: "Why Should I Help Them?"
1. Once you choose "Why should I help them?," find a Depressing Man, Gen (@warp niflheim 146 241) just West of the building you entered. Talk to him and you find out he was the chosen one once, but failed, and he cautions you. He advises you to find the Witch for help.
2. The Witch is at the highest building (254/191) in Nifflheim. Follow the carpet in the Piano room and you'll enter the Witch's Room. Go near the Witch, Kirkena (@warp nif_in 188 168) and she'll auto talk to you first. She'll ask you to find her Witch's Spell Book.
3. Go near the Cursed Spirit, Ash Bruce (@warp niflheim 350 258). He senses your strength, select the pull and read the 3rd book. You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option).
- 4 is tricky, as it's in white.
4. Go back to the witches castle. Enter the witches room by clicking on the speech bubble next to the portait in the 2nd floor (@warp nif_in 139 176), return the Witch's Spell Book to Kirkena.
Part 5: Proving Yourself
1. Go near the Witch, Kirkena and she'll tell you about the dangers of the quest. She also tell you to prove yourself is by bringing her the Symbol of the Nine Realms and asks you to keep it as a secret. Go near her again and she'll ask you to come from the headstone near the stairs on the second floor the next time you visit.
2. Go to Serin. You need to click on her 3 times. She'll tell you thing that the Witch didn't tell you. She also wants you to inform her first-hand once you get the Authority Of Nine World from the Ruler of the Dead and listen to the reasons why she needs these powers.
3. Now go back to the Giant Telescope in West Geffen Field (gef_fild07 182, 241) to teleport to Valkyrie Temple (No need to bring any ingredients). Talk to Valkyrie, Sandra and she'll say she can't help you, but she'll give you support mentally.
4. You're on your own now. So you go back Nifflheim to find more clues. You find a Mad Man, Laichin (niflheim 102, 54) and he seems to have information you need for the quest! But he needs you to pay him twice, 40,000 Zeny and 20,000 Zeny.
5. Listen carefully to the locations he mentions. The locations are random for each person and there are 4 locations you need to go out of a total of 8. Follow the sequence he mentions.
| Number | Description | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | big 10 o'clock | gl_dun02 43 251 |
| 2 | small 11 o'clock | gl_dun02 123 230 |
| 3 | big 1 o'clock | gl_dun02 263 267 |
| 4 | very small 11 o'clock | gl_dun02 118 183 |
| 5 | big 4 o'clock | gl_dun02 273 97 |
| 6 | small 6 o'clock | gl_dun02 138 72 |
| 7 | big 7 o'clock | gl_dun02 19 27 |
| 8 | big 5 o'clock | gl_dun02 268 33 |
The locations he mentions are in The Lowest Cave of Glast Heim (gl_dun02). Bring a level 4 weapon from before the 10.1 update. Click here for a list of pre 10.1 level 4 weapons. Keep the weapon in your inventory (not equipped).
6. Once there, click on the Mysterious Environment and it'll pop up with 3 types of message.
- The mysterious energy flows out. However, the environment seems to be creepier.
* Wrong sequence. Find another spot.
- With the weapon you have currently, it's impossible to break the seal.
* Wrong weapon. Check weapon list here: Weapon List
- It shakes but there isn't any further response. Maybe it needs a greater impact to be activated.
* Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
- Perhaps you need something more powerful. (while having a pre-10.1 update level 4 weapon in your inventory NOT equipped)
* Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
7. You'll get a Piece of Spirit once you break the seal. And when you break the fourth seal, you'll get the Spiritual Whispers. Go back to Nifflheim and talk to Depressing Man, Gen.
8. Gen will identify himself as a servant to his master, Lady Hell. His master is looking for the Spiritual Whispers and he'll send you to an Unknown Area where his master resides.
9. Head up to the Unknown Area. You'll pass a fountain, but don't click it yet. Curiosity killed the cat. Keep moving upward and you'll find the Queen of the Dead, Lady Hell.
10. Talk to her and she'll give you Symbol of the Nine Realms in exchange for the Whisper of Soul.
* You can click the fountain now. If you bring Empty Bottles you'll exchange for a Cursed Water each time you click the fountain.
11. Now you have two choices. Either give the Symbol of the Nine Realms to:
A. Witch, Kirkena (requires defeating more monsters, but can bring friends to help)
B. Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin (requires defeating Incarnation of Dark Lord, aka 1 Dark Illusion, with NO help from friends)
Part 6a: Kirkena the Witch
1. If you chose the Witch, Kirkena, go find her in her room through the headstone near the stairs on the second floor. She'll ask for the Symbol of the Nine Realms and explain the reasons she needs it. If you got Serin's Gold Ring earlier, she'll take it but will return it later and you can store the ring in kafra now (before that you couldn't store it). After that she'll give you 1 Witch's Tonic and 5 Witch's Medal.
* With 5 Witch's Medal, you can bring 4 more partners in your party to assist you in defeating the quest monsters later on. You need to talk to the Witch to enter Serin's room before others can follow. In order for the others to help you fight, they will need to talk to the same gravestone that you do in order to get into the witch's room. They will need to have the seal on them. Do not let the extra partners lose any of the Witch's Medal, they will need to be returned.
Kirkena found the location of Serin. Once you're ready, Kirkena will send you to a copy of nif_fild02 with many monsters on it: Ghouls, Succubus, Wraiths, Injustices, Evil Druids, and Ancient Mummies, which do not give EXP or drop anything. You must fight your way past them to get to the portal on the other side. Enter it, and you'll be in Serin's room. If you have people helping you, they'll be sent to Serin and must talk to her to get to where you are.
2. You'll find Serin at the Unknown Area. Talk to her and chose "Stop her."
3. Serin will summon monsters to attack you. Try not to stand near her when you talk to her.
You'll need to defeat these monsters:
- 1 Dark Illusion
- 2 Ancient Mummy
- 2 Wraith
- 5 Ghoul
4. Once you beat the monsters, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.
5. If you fail, the Nifflheim NPCs will no longer talk to you.
Part 6b: Serin the Pleasant-Featured Lady
1. If you chose Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin, go find Serin and she explains that the witch is going to summon Dark Lord which will devastate the world, instead, to pass her the Symbol of the Nine Realms to stop the witch. She'll send you directly to her room.
2. In the room listen to her reasons for using the Symbol of the Nine Realms. Serin has tricked you and she was the one who wanted to summon Dark Lord and so you must "Stop her". After talking to her, Dark Lord will appear. Talk to him and 1 Dark Illusion is summoned to attack you. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.
3. Once you beat the Dark Illusion, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room.
Almost The End: The Sign
1. Talk to Kirkena and she's happy you stopped Serin. You'll get 500,000 experience points as a reward. And she asks you to talk to Lady Hell once more. (if you took the witch path above, you need to have all 5 Witch's Medal in your inventory)
* Note: If you took the path 6a, Serin (in Nifflehiem town) will give you 500,000 base exp if you return her ring to her (if you took the path that gave it). This must be done before talking to Lady Hell, otherwise Serin will tell you "....." and /sob.
* Note2: You can re-enter kirkena room by using the picture near the stairs portal.
2. Talk to Depressing Man, Gen to enter to Lady Hell room. When you meet Lady Hell, she won't have much to say to you.
3. Next, go the Valkyrie Temple and talk to Sandra. She's happy that you can complete the quest, and proved your courage to God. She'll give you The Sign as proof that you are God's Chosen One. You'll be able to enter Valhalla with The Sign.
4. Go back to Prontera and pass The Sign to Metz. He's pretty excited when you pass The Sign to him and he is glad you completed the quest. He'll start to study The Sign.
* Metz takes some time to study The Sign. Come back after few minutes or an hour.
5. After taking The Sign, Metz asks you to bring it to Engel Howard (mjo_dun02 88, 295) to fix it.
Engel takes some time to fix The Sign (into an equippable accessory). Come back after 2 hours. RE:Start use the same image for Metz to determine the pickup window.
6. Bring The Sign back to Metz. After he finds out the truth of The Sign, his wish is fulfilled. He will then give you 2,000,000 base EXP (114 GX received 4,500,000 Base EXP - VIP).
It should be noted that the 5% ATK that The Sign gives is a boost similar to a racial or elemental card, not a straight ATK boost. (aka, the ATK portion of The Sign will not affect skills like Soul Destroyer, High Speed Cart Ram or Grand Cross) Note: You may return Serin's Gold Ring to Serin during this time before you talk to Lady Hell the final time.
7. Bring The Sign and Sobbing Starlight to Gen (niflheim 146, 241). Gen will warp you to his Master's room. Meet Lady Hell and pass the Sobbing Starlight to her. Then sit back and watch the fireworks display! After the fancy display, Lady Hell will give you Lucifer's Lament. (Lucifer's Lament is storagable, which means you may use it on any character.)
8. Go to the Geffen Fountain and click on it to enter Geffenia. The portal will open temporarily North of the Fountain, and anyone regardless of class, level, or having done the quest may enter it. Be warned however that this map has strong monsters.
