Training Grounds - Side Quests

Overview:

Training grounds has been upgraded to be more newbie friendly. The area now caters more on introducing the basics of the game which includes the navigation, interface, common NPCs, gears, how to battle and a lot more. One of the improvements that I noticed on the training grounds is the addition of Side Quests. It very easy and rewarding quests for newbies.

Side Quests:

The side quests are not really part of the main tutorial provided on the training grounds. However you may perform them for spicing up your leveling time on the area plus you'll be receiving good start up rewards.

Brade Quest:

The quest can be triggered once you are sent to the practical exam area. To be more specific it is the map where you will have the actual battle with monsters. Talk to Brade and receive his simple quest which is to hunt a Poring.

Quest details from Brade

The area is full of Porings so it will not be difficult for you to hunt a Poring. Once finished talk to Brade again and he'll hand over a Novice Cutter as a reward. Novice Cutter is a weapon which will be very helpful on your training grounds life. It's way better than the Novice Knife which is initially given to you.

Finishing the quest from Brade

To start the other side quest, notice a group of NPCs lined up on the upper right portion of Brade. These are the first job class NPCs which gives you an overview with the different job class in Ragnarok World. They also lends Manual Accessories for you to try out the first job skills. For more info you may want to visit my Training Grounds - Manual Accessories post. Aside from those accessories some of them also provides quest for you to try out the job class.
