Where to start

Lakelis · Kerning City

Lakelis stands in Kerning City by the sewer entrance. Take a taxi to Kerning City if you're elsewhere.

Before you start

• You need a party of exactly 4 players, all Lv21 or higher, on channel 3-12.

What you need

Monsters to defeat

Monster	How many	Where
King Slime	1	First Time Together (KPQ), last stage

Rewards

That EXP is 8% of a level at Lv 21.

• Earring STR Scroll: Intermediate random60%, +2 STR
• Earring DEX Scroll: Intermediate random60%, +2 DEX
• Earring INT Scroll: Intermediate random60%, +2 INT
• Earring LUK Scroll: Intermediate random60%, +2 LUK

You get one of the 4 earring scrolls at random.

Tips

• You can run the KPQ again and again, but this quest pays out only once.
• Players report about half a level per KPQ run at Lv21-22.
• Dying no longer ends the run, but it ends if the party drops to 2.
• Cloto's coupon answers and stage help are on this site's KPQ guide.

Still being confirmed

• It's not confirmed whether everyone in the party gets credit for the same King Slime kill. Have all 4 accept the quest before you go in.
