How do you do the Adventurer's Ring, what materials do you need, and where does it start? This guide covers the whole Life, Soul and Harmony ring quest line; every item and monster drop links straight to the database.
It's laid out by day: who to see, what to hand in and how to get there. For the class quest at the start, just take your own class's.
Stage one opened after the 9/10 maintenance; from level 30 the light bulb on the left pops up.
How to run the Adventurer's Ring: a walkthrough starting with Grendel
This line has you running back and forth between towns, with several waits along the way. Check where your quest log stands, then follow the order below. Tip: after each hand-in, talk to the same NPC again and make sure the next quest is picked up before you leave, or you'll easily make a wasted trip.
Updated through day 10, the end of stage one (2026/09/19). The directions below use towns, landmarks and rough directions; the route charts show the order I worked out, not the game's minimap, so distances aren't accurate. Every NPC and item card links to the database.
Day 1: find the old book, collect the essences, and start Blackbull's wait
1 Elinia→2 Lith Harbor→3 Perion
01 | Go to Ellinia and find Grendel
From level 30, click "The Master's Worry" on the light bulb on the left and follow your class's dialogue; every class ends up sent to Grendel. Climb all the way up Ellinia: the house at the very top is the Magic Library. Then do "The Master's Regret" and take "Seeking Ancient Wisdom".
Leaving the library, find Arwen, then Rowen, and finally Mar in Mar's Forest. Arwen is left of the town's middle, Rowen right of it, and Mar is through the entrance at the bottom right of Ellinia. Finish each one's ring dialogue; don't rush off as soon as you find them.
1 Mar: the clue to the old book→2 Tree hollow at the bottom right of The Forest of Wisdom→3 Tree hollow at the bottom right of the next map→4 Old book: bring it back to Grendel
For the old book, look for the tree hollows: go in, find the next entrance at the bottom right, click the book when you see it and take it back to Grendel in the library. If the entrance doesn't appear, go back and check whether Mar's dialogue is finished.
03 | The three life essences, one at a time
Next come the life essences of Slimes, Wild Boars and Horny Mushrooms, 30 of each, taken one quest at a time. Hunt whichever you have, hand them to Grendel when done, and switch monsters only once the next part is picked up. There's a 10-minute wait here: a good moment to buy potions and tidy your inventory.
After Grendel explains the first material, go to Lith Harbor: Olaf in the middle first, then Vikin and Teo on the left. Remember to report back to Olaf afterwards; only then does he send you to Perion. Many people miss this step.
05 | See Dances with Balrog, then gather materials for Blackbull
In Perion, go up to the Warriors' Sanctuary and find Dances with Balrog; after his introduction, go down to Blackbull at the bottom of town. Tree branches, leaves and firewood, 50 of each; after handing in "An Unbreakable Home", check the quest hint. There's a 24-hour wait, so note the time you handed in, or going too early the next day is a wasted trip.
06 | When the wait is over, continue with Blackbull
When the time is up, go back to Blackbull for "Unyielding Obsession". You need 50 Never-Breaking Obsessions, dropped by Dark Axe Stumps. Once you have them, talk to Blackbull, take "The First Material" and bring it to Grendel in Ellinia.
07 | Where is Athena Pierce? Go into the park, then the tree house
Grendel sends you to Athena Pierce. In Henesys, enter Henesys Park first: the tree house on the right is the Bowman Instructional School, and she's inside. Then go back to Chief Stan in the middle of town and hand in 50 Orange Mushroom Caps and 10 Slime Bubbles; keep talking to him and he sends you to Rina.
08 | Rina wants tails, then it's back to Athena Pierce
Rina is on the left of Henesys and wants 50 Curse Eye Tails. Keep talking after handing them in and you get a quest to deliver porridge to Athena Pierce in the park. Don't leave town yet after the tails; Henesys isn't done.
09 | Find Camila's medicine, then take the three wishes with you
Next find Camila at the top right of town: take "The Lost Medicine", hunt Blue Mushrooms for 1 medicine and hand it in; keep talking and the empty bead part begins. Then see Athena Pierce, then Chief Stan, Rina and Camila in order, confirm "The Second Material" with Camila last, and bring the bead to Grendel.
Got the bead but no next step? Go back to Camila and check for unfinished ring dialogue; having the item doesn't mean the dialogue is done. There's another 24-hour wait after this part.
10 | Find him in the bar, collect the teeth, hand them in
Once you can take "A Vessel for Life", go to the bar in Kerning City; Dark Lord is inside. Take "Dark Lord's Test", hunt Ligators in the swamp for 100 Ligator teeth and bring them back. Then wait 72 hours (3 days) before you can collect the rough stone.
Day 6: collect the rough stone, gather the will of life, then cook on the Nautilus
After the Ligator teeth on day 3 there's a 72-hour wait, so days 4 and 5 are basically waiting. When the time is up, go back to Dark Lord and check the quest hint for the rough stone.
11 | With the rough stone, go to Sleepywood and hunt Zombie Mushrooms for the will of life
With the rough stone, go back to Grendel in Ellinia, then to Sabitrama and Chrishrama at the top of Sleepywood. Take the quest and hunt Zombie Mushrooms for 1 "Undying Will of Life"; hand it to Chrishrama first, then go back to Grendel for the next part. This part gives 50,000 EXP.
12 | See the captain, then hand in the first special meal at the restaurant
Board the Nautilus, walk to the upper corridor and go left to the navigation room to find Kyrin. Then go to the restaurant and give Tangyoon 25 Blue Mushroom Caps and 10 Pig's Heads for 50,000 EXP. You must wait 24 hours before the next special meal.
Days 7–9: back to the restaurant each day for the next special meal
13 | Tangyoon's special meals ②–④: same materials, handed in separately
On days 7, 8 and 9 go back to Tangyoon in the Nautilus restaurant and hand in the same 25 Blue Mushroom Caps and 10 Pig's Heads, 50,000 EXP each time. With day 6, the four meals need 100 Blue Mushroom Caps and 40 Pig's Heads in all. You can farm them in one go, but you still hand them in one day at a time.
After day 9 there's one more wait: After the last meal there's another 24 hours to wait; note the time and check the next quests when it's up. So you can't get the ring on day 9.
Day 10: trace the ashes, enter the laboratory, and claim the stage-one ring
24 hours after the day-9 meal, go back to Tangyoon in the restaurant, then to Kyrin in the navigation room.
After Kyrin, go back to the Magic Library at the top of Ellinia (Grendel's house) and examine the scattered ashes. Then go to northern Ellinia, enter the rightmost tree hollow at the top, climb to the top of Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North V, talk to the other pile of ashes and enter the portal.
Inside, talk to Edwin first, defeat 6 tainted monsters and come back to him; this part gives 70,000 EXP. Then talk to Grendel in the scene and go back to the library.
16 | Claim the ring from Grendel: pick one of three
Go back to Grendel in the Magic Library at the top of Ellinia: this part gives 100,000 EXP, and you pick the Life, Soul or Harmony ring. You can swap it later for free at the Altar of Life Research. That completes stage one.
Stage one done: You get the ring on day 10, with 730,000 EXP in total, 170,000 of it from the two parts on day 10. The day count includes every wait; leaving the quest for 10 days doesn't finish it by itself.
