Hello all!
I just completed the Master Level quest on my priest last night and found it rather annoying so I decided to post some tips for completion of the initial quest to become master level once you hit level 50 on both job AND experience level.
I will note that if you die and resurrect without a Spinel, you have to abandon the quest and re-accept it (which basically means you will need to kill all 5 opponents again).
I tried the following things before attempting to take on the five opponents in the arena:
- I tried buffing up as much as possible... died
- Using a "Conceal Scroll" - no immediate attack. Killed one, then died.
**So no matter what, you will probably die at least once. Have a Spinel or two in your bag. **
After I killed the one, I resurrected in place and took another one out using priest AOE Magnus Exorcismus with Asperio (places Oratio on all targets). I did manage to get lucky as the priest glitched and attacked herself till she died.
Repeated the process and finished off the last two.
If you are geared up and quick with spells you might be able to take all of them out at once, but they do have stun techniques and are very liberal in using them. Just keep at it, it took me a few tries to figure out a strategy to eliminate them.
I also found out that everything in Dayr Desert is level 53+ and hits a lot harder than I thought.
