Tips
- You can start at Lv23, but you need Lv25 to wear the cape.
- Maya's Arcon's Blood? wants 75 Zombie Mushrooms and 40 Charms. Plan one Ant Tunnel trip for 65 Charms if you'll do both.
- Stirges fly, so ranged attacks or magic make the glass hunt easier.
- Players reported the Old Raggedy Cape selling for about 10k mesos on the Free Market in launch week.
- Jane Doe's story continues in the Kerning City citizenship quests at Lv37 (Worn Bandages). Her Lv47 quest, An Old Grudge, is the Shade kill.
Still being confirmed
- No player has confirmed which monster drops Broken Mirror Glass. Stirges are the best bet, since Jane Doe names them. If they drop nothing, try Wild Boars.
- It's not confirmed whether the glass only drops while Stranger's Request is active, so accept the quest before you hunt.
- The hospital door's exact spot in Kerning City isn't confirmed, and the Oct 15 Kerning update may have moved things.
