Overview:
The Valkyries came down to Midgard to recruit agents of Justice. They seek strong and seasoned adventurers who are brave enough to weaken the influence of Satan Morroc.

Quest Proper:

The [Quest] Valkyrie Captain has descended in Midgard and currently residing at the Prontera fountain waiting for brave adventurers. Talk to her and agree with the mission handed to you. You will have a task to perform the assigned quest 10 times before returning to the Valkyrie Captain.

Valkyrie Captain waiting for brave adventurers

In order to perform the next step, you must first be a member of a guild who owns a WoE 1 Agit. If you are not aware of the War of the Emperium feature of Ragnarok Online you can visit my WoE Page. If you have successfully joined guild with a WoE 1 Agit proceed to your guild agits and locate the switch which will bring you to the guild dungeon.

Be a member of a guild with a WoE 1 Agit

The guild dungeon switches are hidden inside the 2nd or 3rd map of the castle. To help you find the hidden switches slowly mouse over on suspicious objects inside the agit. When your cursor turned into a bubble with triple dot then that is the hidden switch. The each agit has one switch and its location is fixed for that agit only. All five agits on the same location shares the same guild dungeon. Which means all agit holders for Luina will be seeing each other inside the Luina guild dungeon. Same goes with the other guild dungeons.

Note: Guild Dungeons are NOT PK enabled now.

Upon arrival at the guild dungeon, The first thing to do is to locate the [Quest] Valkyrie Yuna. The location of Valkyrie Yuna differs from guild dungeons. Please visit the Unified Forums for the other Valkyrie Yuna locations. As in my case, the location is at the lower right part of Greenwood Lake Dungeon.

Valkyrie Yuna, the valkyrie assigned at the guild dungeons

Talk to Valkyrie Yuna and accept the mission assigned to you. The mission that you will accomplish is to defeat 100 target monsters. In my case I have to defeat 100 Skeleton General in Greenwood Lake guild dungeon. Other locations will have a different assigned monster. For Luina guild dungeon you will be assigned with Giant Hornets. For Valkyrie Realm guild dungeon you will be assigned with Gullinbursti. And for Britoniah guild dungeon you will be assigned with Zombie Master. Additional info, party members will share kill count provided that they are within range of the killer.

Defeat 100 target monsters in order to redeem your reward

As noted on the Unified Forums, Premium Users will have a free buff similar to Medium Life Potion. The life potion restores health over time, it disappears upon death and has a duration of 10minutes.

Confirm that the quest has been successfully given to you by pressing ALT + U. Locate the quest window for Crimson Feather Invasion Event entitled Defeat Skeleton Generals. Again other locations will have a different name depending on the assigned monster. The quest window you opened will serve as your kill count tracker. Keep this window open so that you will be conscious of your kill counts and redeem badges when your kill count hits exactly 100.

After successfully defeating 100 assigned monster, return to Valkyrie Yuna and receive rewards just like in Crowd Control Quests. She will be giving 1 Mercenary Badge and 1 Yggdrassil Berry but premium users will have 2 Mercenary Badges and 2 Yggdrassil Berry instead. The mission does not stop here because you still have to perform the quest 10 times in order to claim the final reward from the Valkyrie Captain.

For every 100 kill count you will redeem the rewards to Valkyrie Yuna

When you have successfully performed the quest 10 times, go back to the Valkyrie Captain and report the status of your mission. She will be delighted and will reward you with the Bloody Headgears in exchange with 25 Midgard Coins or 20 Shiny Beads + 20 Geffen Coins.

Bloody Headgear  rewards will be claimed from Valkyrie Captain

Shiny Beads – can be acquired by doing the Alberta Quest: Swab the Deck

Geffen Coins – can be acquired by doing any of the Geffen Quests.

Side Adventure:

To tell you the truth, the quest is very boring. The Skeleton General target for Greenwood Lake has a few spawn compared to Am mut and Gajomart spawn. I used up so much patience convincing myself to finish this quest while roaming around looking for the target monsters. At some point there are delightful events that spice up this boring event.

In an early morning, I was surprise to see a freshly spawned Eddga at the Guild Dungeon. Of course I didn’t hesitate to take the challenge of battling with an MVP. Killing Eddga using a Shadow Chaser is quite hard. I died a lot of times but receiving the MVP bubble and bulk experience is the best part of my Eddga battle.

On another instance, I was able to loot a card! Yes a card which is not so special. It’s a Dokebi Card which doesn’t have a tangible value in the market. But looting a card is still something special because it proves that I have been lucky on that day. Minutes later I was able to loot another card and this time it’s Am Mut card. I guess I’m really lucky that day which boost my morale for a couple of minutes.

Rewards:

The final rewards of the quest are the exclusive Bloody Headgears. Each adventurers who finishes the quest will be given the Bloody Angel Wings. For Premium users, they will be receiving an additional mid headgear Bloody Angel Feathers. The bonus HP and SP from the Bloody Angel Feathers is a combo bonus stats when worn with Bloody Angel Wings.

Comments:

The Crimson Feather Invasion Event is a nice complement to players participating in the War of Emperium. It encourages players to explore the guild dungeons of WoE 1 Agits. Non-WoE players on the other hand are encouraged to join guilds in order to participate in the event. Somehow it indirectly promotes the feature War of the Emperium and brings fresh bloods into Battle!

Overall the quest is hard. Even with the aid of party kill counts, the rare spawn of the target monster makes this quest hard. It takes a lot of time and patience acquiring 100 kill counts per redeem of badges. Although Premium Service is not required for the quest it is advisable to avail this service for the sake of getting the rewards. For premium users you will be receiving double rewards from Valkyrie Yuna and at the end of the quest you will also receive the Bloody Angel Feathers from Valkyrie Captain.

For all adventurers taking the extra effort performing the quest. Good Luck!
