 Archmage Guide
Preliminary Quests: Making the Tomes (Quest 1-4)
Need Level 60 to Start
Quest 1: Tapping Into the Arcane (Reward: Mystic Scribing Kit)
- 49 Mystic Quills
- 49 Mystic Shards
• Tips: Possible Monsters: Chaos Lords, Blood Titan, check
wikidot for more details
• For Quills: You can farm Slugfit (/join mobius)
• For Shards: You can do “Help Professor Warlic” (Dragonrune)
for guaranteed 4X Mystic Shards

- Semiramis Feather (/join guardiantree)

• Accept and complete “Take Down Terrane” quest
• Defeat Terrane

- Mystic Ink (/join deepchaos or /join museum, then click Kathool

statue)
• Dropped by Kathool (Confirmed 10% drop rate)
• Stacks up to 10.

Tip: Stack Mystic Ink to 5 first since it has the lowest drop, then stack
Quills and Shards to 245, so that you need to do Semiramis Feather per
turn-in.
Quest 2: Aetheral Flow (Reward: Prismatic Ether)
Rank 10 Chaos REQUIRED
- Celestial Ether (/join celestialarena, then /join celestialarenad)
• Dropped by Aranx
• Accept “THE FINAL FIGHT” quest first
• Stacks up to 10. (Confirmed 30% drop rate)

• Dropped by Nulgath’s Fiend Shard
• Stacks up to 10. (Confirmed 20% drop rate)

Tip: Since all ethers are now stackable, stack everything up to 5. I

suggest doing Aranx first, since you are alone, then do Infernal Ether
and the rest.
Quest 3: Tracing Ley Lines (Reward: Arcane Locus)
- Sky Locus (/join skytower)
• Two Options:
➢ Option 1: Dropped by Moonstone, Starstone, Sunstone (2%
Drop Rate)
➢ Option 2: Dropped by Aspect of Light and Aspect of Evil.
(25% Drop Rate)
• Stacks up to 10.

- Sea Locus (/join natatorium or /join chaoskraken)

click Mana Golem statue)
• Dropped by Mana Golem (100% DROP RATE)
• Dropped by Mana Imp, Mana Phoenix, Tree of Destiny. (30%
Drop Rate)
• Stack up to 300.
• You need 30 per turn in.

Tip: Since all stack can stack up to at 5 (or 150, for Prime), stack
everything. Do this order: Sky, Earth, Fire, Sea, and then Prime. (Do the
100% drop rates in the end, since you are sure it will drop)

I can make suggestions for Chaos Kraken. For faster kills, Chrono, LR,
FB/LOO. Also, don’t forget… NO CHAORUPTTER UNLOCKED, you will
buff the Chaos Kraken.

If you have done the Dragon of Time Questline, then I think you will
have no issue with Chaos Kraken.

at Warden during Berserk)
Quest 6: Book of Fire: Immolation

combination.

drops, you can do it by this order:
➢ 200 Spark of Life

➢ 200 Dense Dragon Crystal
➢ 200 Shadowfire Wisps

• For bosses and large-HP mobs, I suggest doing it at public

rooms. (especially underlair, fireavatar)

• For low HP bosses or mobs, do it in a private room for more

efficiency.

• CONFIRMED 100% Drop Rate
• Tips: TK, CAV, YNR, also… better to do it in party.
Ok, before going to the final three quests, let’s make a quick
checkpoint.

At this point, you must have the following:

- 2 Unbound Tomes
- Book of Magus
- Book of Fire
- Book of Ice
- Previous Archmage Set drops

The final two books are still the same, some items have TWO options
involving Insignias. I can give recommendations on where you can use
your Insignias.

Also, I am going to give a quick tutorial on how to access the two Void
Ultra Bosses. (Nightbane and Flibbitiestgibbet)
 Tutorial on How to Get to your Void Boss
Step One: /join thevoid

Step Two: Talk to The Reaper

Step Three: Click “To Battle!”

Step Four: You are now presented with a selection of bosses you can
fight. There are two pages.
Final Step: Just click the boss you need, and you will be teleported
immediately there.
Notable Bosses:
1. Lord of Order – “Xyfrag”
2. Dragon of Time – “The Reaper”
3. Awe Ascension – “The Reaper”
4. Celestial Pirate Commander/Polly Roger – “Nightbane”
5. Daily Void Auras – “Flibbitiestgibbet”
6. Archmage – “Flibbitiestgibbet” and “Nightbane”
7. Hikari/Diabolical Rep – “Void Dragon”

Ok, now back to the Archmage Guide

Quest 8: Book of Aether: Supernova
Rank 10 Etherstorm REQUIRED
- 50 Scrolls of Eclipse
• Use Fading Ink and use this combination.

- 1 Void Essentia (/join thevoid)

• Two Options:
➢ Option 1: Dropped by Flibbitiestgibbet
(Confirmed 4% Drop Rate)
➢ Option 2: Farm the following:
1. 750,000 Gold
2. 25 Void Essence
a. Dropped by Flibbitiestgibbet (100% DROP RATE)
3. 75 Void Aura (Yep, the item you hated the most)

Now, there is a reason why you need to be Level 60. You cannot start
Necrotic Sword of Doom/Void Aura farming when you are not Level
60.
Tips:
- To be honest, you are lucky for Flibb, since this is one of the
monsters for the daily Void Auras, however, I hope you are lucky to
have people to stay there.
- The classes that are mandatory for Flibb are LOO, AP, SC, and LR.
- 1 A Fragment of the Beginning (/join streamwar)
• Two Options:
➢ Option 1: Dropped by Second Speaker (Confirmed 2% Drop
Rate)
➢ Option 2: Farm the following
1. 250 Prismatic Seams
2. 10 Unbound Thread (/join deadlines)
o Reward from “Fallen Branches” quest
3. 750,000 Gold
Tips:
This is why I want you to farm Prismatic Seams in the boss of
Timestream War, even though it is a 2% drop, it will still drop. If you
chose Option 2, and the item dropped, conserve the Prismatic Seams
for future purposes.

Also, for faster kills, use a lineup of Chrono + AP + LR + LOO/FB.

- 1 Vital Exanima (/join dage or /join utlradage)

• Option 1: Dropped by Dage the Evil (Confirmed 1% Drop Rate)
• Option 2: 10 Dage the Evil Insignia and 750,000 Gold

- 1 Everlight Flame (/join fireavatar or /join ultratyndarius)

• Option 1: Dropped by Avatar Tyndarius (Confirmed 1% Drop
Rate)
• Option 2: 6 Avatar Tyndarius Insignia and 750,000 Gold
- 1 Unbound Tome
• Reward from “Thaumaturgy” (Quest 4)

Tips:
• For “Vital Exanima” and “Everlight Flame,” these are the things
you need to consider:
➢ Have you got Infernal Flame Khopesh and Infernal Flame
Pyromancer?
If your answer is “Yes,” then you are free to use
Insignias. Otherwise, don’t use Insignias.
➢ Have you got plans to empower Legion items or get the
Legion NSOD?
If your answer is “Yes,” don’t use Insignias. Otherwise,
use your Insignias.
• Now, if you are planning to torture/farm Dage the Evil, Avatar
Tyndarius and Second Speaker the hard way, I really
recommend going to public rooms that does not have AFK
players, and are focused on one goal. Sometimes, you might be
blessed by the RNG god. So, keep going. XD

Be prepared for the most torturous of all books…

The Book of Arcana
Quest 9: Book of Arcana: Arcane Sigil

- 50 Scroll of Ethereal Curse

• Use Archmage Ink and use this
combination

- 1 Calamitous Ruin (/join

darkcarnax)
• Two Options:
➢ Option 1: Dropped by Nightmare Carnax (Confimed 7% Drop
Rate)
➢ Option 2: 25 Synthetic Visceras + 750,000 Gold
Tips:
- Just like the “Void Essentia” and “A Fragment of the Beginning,”
try Option 2 first. There will be a chance that “Calamitous Ruin will
drop. Don’t waste your Nightmare Motes; make them into Synthetic
Visceras. (You can keep it for Nightmare Carnax Axe and Guardians)
- Recommended Classes: DOT, AP, LOO, LR, etc.

- 1 Insatiable Hunger (/join thevoid)

• Dropped by Nightbane (Confirmed 20% Drop Rate)
Tips:
- Buffs first. During battle, no heals. So, Health Vamp and Lifesteal
Scrolls are needed here.
- Recommended Classes: LDK, LR, AP, SC, LOO, DOT
- 1 The Divine Will (/join celestialpast)
• Dropped by Azalith (100% Drop Rate)
Tips:
- With a whopping HP of 819-820 M and a hard hitter, she is now
the new Desolich of AQWorlds. Thankfully, “The Divine Will” is 100%
drop rate, unlike “Desolich’s Dark Horn.”
- Recommended Classes: Chrono, AP, LR, SC, LOO, FB

- 1 The Mortal Coil (tercessuinotlim or /join ultranulgath)

• Option 1: Dropped by Nulgath (Probably 1% Drop Rate)
• Option 2: 4 Roentgenium of Nulgath or 10 Nulgath Insignias

- 1 Undying Resolve (/join theworld or /join ultradarkon)

• Option 1: Dropped by Encore Darkon (Confirmed 1% Drop
Rate)
• Option 2: 5 Darkon Insignias

- 1 Unbound Tome
• Reward from “Thaumaturgy” (Quest 4)
Tips:
- For “The Mortal Coil,” I highly recommend using Insignias for this
item. But if you plan to go through Nulgath, you will need Vim Helm
Enhancement for high evasion.
- For “Undying Resolve,” I DON’T RECOMMEND USING INSIGNIAS. It
is not worth using the insignia. You will need it for Arcana’s Concerto
(one of the OP Forge Weapon Enhancements) and Darkon Armor.
- For Encore Darkon, I recommend AP, LOO, SC, LR.
 FINALE: ARCHMAGE’S ASCENSION
- 1 Book of Magus
• Reward from “Book of Magus: Incantation” quest. (Quest 5)
- 1 Book of Fire
• Reward from “Book of Fire: Immolation” quest. (Quest 6)
- 1 Book of Ice
• Reward from “Book of Ice: Glacial Impact” quest. (Quest 7)

- 1 Book of Arcana
• Reward from “Book of Arcana: Arcane Sigil” quest. (Quest 9)
- 250 Elemental Binding (/join archmage)
• Dropped by Prismata (100% Drop Rate)

Tips:
- The only tip I can give you is find a room of /archmage that has
NO AFK PLAYERS, and all are in the Prismata area.
- It is also a mini-ultra boss because of the Boss Shield mechanic.
- I recommend players to have 2 Chronos, LR, SC, AP, LOO.
