[edit] Initial dialogue
Instructor Ng
- "For this quest, I need your aid in clearing the training grounds here of some annoying mantid hatchlings that have infested the place. But before you can help me, you must formally accept the quest. Please accept this quest now."
- Accept: "I'm happy to help."
- Decline: "I don't think so."
- When asked about quest: "We must go out and destroy those remaining hatchlings before you can move forward with your training. You do want to enter the monastery, I assume...."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- Instructor Ng: "Now that you have accepted the quest, it appears in your Quest Log. To view your Quest Log, click the Menu button in the lower left corner of the screen, and select Quest Log."
- Instructor Ng: "You can also view your Quest Log by press the "L" key."
- Instructor Ng: "<Player Name>, whenever you are ready to continue your training, left-click me and we will continue."
- Instructor Ng: "The Quest Log contains information about quests you have accepted but have not yet completed. This information includes specific steps for completing the quest as well as a summary of the quest objective."
- Instructor Ng: "Do you see the green starburst on your mini-map? That shows you the location of the next step on your currently selected quest."
- Kisai: "Please excuse my interruption, Instructor Ng, but what happens if the goal is not within the scope of the mini-map?"
- Instructor Ng: "A good question, Kisai. If the next step is far away, a green arrow in the mini-map will point you in the general direction of your goal. Any other questions?"
- Kisai: "Oh, yes, sir! Are mantid hatchlings very large? What do they look like? How fearsome are they? What do they..."
- Instructor Ng: "I think those questions will be best answered by seeing one in the flesh, Kisai. Meet me at the gate when you are ready, and we will go and find some."
- Instructor Ng: "Through these gates are a number of vicious, bloodthirsty, flesh-eating mantid hatchlings. I will let you face the first one on your own so I can observe your combat technique."
- Kisai: "Suddenly, I am not feeling well..."
- Instructor Ng: "Do you see that mantid hatchling up ahead? Simply left-click it to begin your attack. Kisai and Mai, stand fast, please. I want to see how <Player Name> handles the situation."
- Kisai: "I would not even know how to begin. I will leave it up to <Player Name>!"
- Mai: "As you wish, Instructor Ng."
- Instructor Ng: "When defeated, creatures drop whatever they are carrying: gold, weapons, and so on. If you are in a group, any gold is divided evenly among group members, while items are randomly assigned to a single group member."
- Instructor Ng: "Now, keep moving forward. This time, Kisai and Mai will help you. Remember: however mighty we may become, we must rely on our allies for support."
- Mai: "Let us fight with honor."
- Kisai: "I will do my best."
- Instructor Ng: "Good work, students. Now, if you will step inside the gate to the next area, we will talk about...death."
- Instructor Ng: "<Player Name>, whenever you are ready to continue your training, left-click me and we will continue."
- Instructor Ng: "You did very well against those hatchlings, but there will likely be times when things do not go in your favor. Kisai, Mai, <player name>: follow me to the resurrection shrine, please."
- Kisai: "I have a bad feeling about this."
- Instructor Ng: "<Player Name>, whenever you are ready to continue your training, left-click me and we will continue."
- Instructor Ng: "Resurrection Shrines become active as you near them. If you die, you will be resurrected at the nearest active shrine. You will know that a shrine is active by the glow emanating from it."
- Instructor Ng: "Do not worry overmuch, students. Thanks to the resurrection shrine, you will be back soon enough."
- Kisai: "With such a powerful tool at our disposal, we will have little to fear in combat!"
- Instructor Ng: "Do not become overconfident, Kisai. You may have noticed a box in the upper left-hand corner of your screen that reads "-15%". This is called a Dealth Penalty."
- Instructor Ng: "Each time you die, your maximum Health and Energy are reduced. The limit for this Death Penalty is -60%, which can be quite harsh when you are attempting to battle a difficult foe."
- Mai: "Is there no remedy for this Death Penalty?"
- Instructor Ng: "As you defeat foes in combat, you will reduce your Death Penalty. Also, visiting a town or other place of rest will fully eliminate your Death Penalty."
- Mai: "And if there are no resurrection shrines in the area?"
- Instructor Ng: "At times you may undertake dangerous missions that have no resurrection shrines. In such cases, death will require you to restart the mission from the beginning."
- Instructor Ng: "It is possible to learn skills to resurrect fallen companions. But first we should concentrate on skills that will keep you alive."
- Instructor Ng: "Skills produce a variety of effects, from healing your allies to damaging your foes to allowing you to run more quickly. Using skills effectively is often the key to victory."
- Instructor Ng: "I have just given each of you two basic skills from your chosen profession. They should now be equipped in your Skill Bar at the bottom of your screen. To activate a skill, simply left-click it."
- Mai: "We can also press the "1" through "8" keys to activate the corresponding skill, is that right Instructor Ng?"
- Instructor Ng: "Just so, Mai."
- Instructor Ng: "Now that you are suitably prepared for combat, let us go and finish clearing out those mantid hatchlings. Meet me at the gate when you are ready."
- Instructor Ng: "<Player Name>, whenever you are ready to continue your training, left-click me and we will continue."
- Instructor Ng: "Stop here, and look at your mini-map. You are the green dot in the middle. See the white circle around you? Any aggressive enemy that enters this "Danger Zone" will notice you and become hostile."
- Kisai: "Oh! So...those red dots on the mini-map are enemies, right? I was wondering about that."
- Instructor Ng: "You are correct, Kisai. Students, proceed."
- Instructor Ng: "Be careful, <Player Name>! Remember to watch your Health and use your healing skills when you are wounded."
- Instructor Ng: "Very good, students! You are doing well!"
- Instructor Ng: "That was the last of them. Now that you have completed your quest, come speak to me for a reward."
[edit] Reward dialogue
Instructor Ng
- "Excellent work, <Player Name>! I will explain a few last things, and then I believe you are ready to enter the monastery."
[edit] Notes
- The player death during this quest does not count against the Survivor title, but there has been claims that it may be bugged and will sometimes count. Either skip the quest or immediately check it afterwards, if you're attempting the title track.
