Ragnarok Geneticist Job Change Quest Guide

The Ragnarok Geneticist Job Change Quest is easy and fun to do. The Geneticist Quest mostly all happens in Lighthalzen. Before doing the Genetics Quest, it would be nice if you have a Cart Revolution skill. Also, make sure you have done the Biochemist study course quests for alchemist and biochemist prior on doing this quest, as you won’t be able to do them again. Bring some healing potions and sp potions as you have to battle a mob of Poison Spores in a mini arena.

Ragnarok Geneticist Job Change Quest

1. Start the Genetics Job Change Quest in the Alchemist Guild in Al de Baran. Go inside and speak with the Alchemist Union Member(alde_alche 35,185) on the first floor. Choose Meet a Geneticist and he will direct you to Lighthalzen.

2. Board the Juno airship and head over to the Geneticist Guild (lighthalzen 54 132) in Lighthalzen and speak with Devries (job3_gen01 25,58) inside. Tell him you are also from Rune Midgarts. Suddenly, you are interrupted with noise upstairs and he will be stressed out. The only thing you can do to calm him down is to bring him some cookies

3. Head upstairs and on the northern part of the room, click on the Delivery Box (job3_gen01 81,72) and choose Open the box and Take a cookie.

4. Go back downstairs and hand Devries a cookie and tell him you want to be a geneticist. Talk to him until he asks you to conduct experiments on plants.

5. Click on the cabinet and read the Plant guide. It’s a short read and it would be nice to read them all but you only need to read the Plant option.

6. Acquire all the plants on the first floor as an ingredient.

1. Bigibigigrass (job3_gen01 36 55)

2. Muka Tree (job3_gen01 36 45)

8. Give the seed to Devries and he will experiment on it. If you fail, you have to repeat from step 6. If you succeed, he will recommend you to the Alchemist Union Member but it will take some time so he’ll ask you to meet Demi Calberine instead.

9. Upstairs, talk to Demi Calberine (job3_gen01 91,48). She seeks your help of finding some parts for the ordered mini canon that needs to be delivered that day. She needs 10 of them

10. Click on any of the Scattered Parts all over the second floor until you get 10 parts. There are 6 locations of the scattered parts, all in the second floor. When you get 10 of them (it will not appear on the inventory) you’ll get the message I think i’ve gathered all the parts.

11. Give the parts to Demi Calberine and she will show you a good training spot for the mini canon (Cart Revolution). She will then warp you with the Poison spores cage on the first floor.

Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Job Change Quest Guide

The Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Job Change Quest is one of the toughest quest as you have to kill 3 monsters. Killing them is easy, but finding them is hard. What makes it harder is there are only one of a kind of these shadow chaser quest monsters. What if there are 10-50 players who is doing the shadow chaser quest? Also, what makes the Shadow Chaser Job Change Quest harder is the encrypted message that you have to figure out, but I got that covered for you.

Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Job Change Quest

1. Start the Shadow Chaser quest in Morroc. Speak with a Girl (morroc 156, 70) and he will tell you about the Shadow Chasers.

2. Head over to the Rogue guild (cmd_fild07 196, 117) and speak with the Scary Man (in_rogue 379, 101) downstairs. He invites you to seek treasures. He will teach you how to decrypt a message.

He gives you the following code to translate:- which means shadow atelier in prontera. In some server the code he gives you is shadow workshop in prontera

Rogue Guild in Comodo (Morocc -> Comodo Beach Pracos)

3. The hidden code leads you to a Prontera building (prontera 269, 110) Head to the second floor and speak with the manager.

Show the deciphered code and enter the decrypted code.

He then introduced himself to you and asks you to find a treasure. Give it a try and he’ll give you another encrypted code which translate to blue fire in turtle island third floor or in some server blue fire on turtle island third floor

How to decrypt the code

A equals to 1, B equals to 2, C equals to 3 and so forth. The key means the number to be subtracted in order to get the right letter.

4. Bring some potions with you. Make sure you have finished the Turtle Island Quest then ride your way to Turtle Island 3. The blue flame(tur_dun03 38,208) is in the upper left part of the map. Enter the deciphered code and it needs you to kill the Shadow of Deception.

5. The shadow of deception is in the same map but there is only one of it. It looks like a Wind Ghost. It doesn’t hit that much but it has a very high hp. Because of the aggressive monsters, it would be wise to lure it in a corner. Also, the hide skill works wonders on this part to hide from the turtles.

6. Upon killing the monster, return to the blue flame and you will be automatically warped in a secret room.

7. Continue the Shadow Chaser Quest by clicking on the shell and choose either option. You uncover the words DECEIVE, followed by a number key, and finally, a combination of letters. Click on next and the word honesty is shown and you need to input some code. When you enter the correct answer, the box opens and there is a small key inside. You get the key of Deception

Key Result
1 IPOFTUZ
2 JQPGUVA
3 IRQHVWB
4 LSRIWXC
5 MTSJXYD
6 NUTKYZE
7 OVULZAF
8 PWVMABG

8. Click on the Blue Flame again and choose Go outside to exit, you will be warped back to Turtle Island Dungeon 3

9. Go back to the Manager in Prontera and show him the key but he can’t figure it out. He tells you that there is more galleries of this one in Juno and Rachel. He suggests that you checked on the Rachel gallery.

10. Enter the building in Rachel(rachel 180, 118) and walk downstairs. Speak with the Manager(ra_in 168, 65) at the basement and tell him you were sent by Graham. Paul solved the code and show you the codes. Tell him I have no clue, then answer Yes. The Manager will explain you the clue and the clue leads to Ice Dungeon and Lighthalzen. He will then give you a code in the end. This code might change if you talk to the Manager again. Make Rachel as your save point area as you have to go back here.

11. The first set of code is [ R-E-N-N-N-D ]. This means from Rachel, go east then 3 north and you shall reach the Ice Dungeon. Head over to Ice Dungeon 2.

12. Find the Red Flame(ice_dun02 206, 223) in the northwest area. Click on it and it shall challenge you to hunt for shadow of delusion.

13. The Shadow of Delusion/Illusion looks like a Skogul, but with high HP. There are a lot of aggressive monsters in the dungeon, so lure it into a corner. Also, there is only one Shadow of Delusion in the map for the Shadow Job Change Quest

14. Upon killing the Shadow of Illusion, click on the Red Flame and you will be automatically warped in a secret room.

15. Click the box at the center o the room, and it will ask you to enter a number. This is based on the last code the manager in Rachel gave you. Upon entering the correct number, you shall receive the Key of Illusion. Clicking Next will lead you back to the Ice Dungeon 2.

* COLD = 13 34 31 14 = 1+3+3+4+3+1+1+4 = 20
* FOOT = 21 34 34 44 = 2+1+3+4+3+4+4+4 = 25
* SEED = 43 15 15 14 = 4+3+1+5+1+5+1+4 = 24

16. Go back to the Manager in Rachel to continue that Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Quest and tell him you found a key. The Manager tells you to request an assistance from a young guy in Juno named Haled. If he does not want to participate, tell him I know what you did last summer!

17. Enter the building (yuno 275, 67) in the southeast of Juno. Proceed to the basement and speak with the Manager Haled(yuno_in 167,129) Tell him I know what you did last summer! He will give you assistance and he will give you a poem that will lead you towards Nifflheim. Make Juno your savepoint.

The building

18.Go to Nifflheim (Morroc ->Comodo ->Umbala -> exit the North Portal) and find the Red Flame (231, 275) It is under a hut so it would be obscure from your view. Click on it and it will ask you to handle the Shadow of Pleasure

19. The next task in the Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Job Change is to find the Shadow of Pleasure within the map. It is a Sucubus but with high HP and kill it.

20.Upon killing the Shadow of Pleasure, go back to the Red Flame, and click on the box at the center. The box will say some numbers which translates to TURN AND SHAKE. Then you will be given a series of options. Choose the option turn the house and then, roll it to upside down. You will get the Key of Gaiety. Click on the box again to go out.

21. Go back to Haled in Juno to continue the Shadow Chaser Job Change Quest and show him your three keys. He tells you to go to Lighthalzen with the keys.

22. Head over the Shadow Guild in Lighthalzen (lighthalzen 41, 55) and speak with the manager Vicente. Show him the three keys and he leads you to the Thanatos tower.

23. From Yuno, go to the Thanatos Tower and head over the center portal (tha_t01 149, 224) of the spiral cases at the north part of the map.

How to go to Thanatos Tower

24. You will be warped in a secret room. Click on the statue at the center and you shall receive A Master’s Brush.

25. Head back to Vicente to Lighthalzen and hand over the brush. You can choose any of the options. You are mad that you only got a master’s brush but Vicente tells you that this is worth something. He asksfor you t go inside with him with the man who has been looking for this brush for a long time

26. Go upstairs and speak with Dumk (70, 66). He will tell you about the importance of this brush. Tell him you found it with your friends and finally ask him to change you into a shadow chaser. Congratulations! You are now a Ragnarok Shadow Chaser. You shall receive 1 Shadow Handicraft [1], 1 Green Apple Ring, and 1 Paint Brush as your Ragnarok Shadow Chaser Quest rewards. You will keep the master brush as well.

I leveled up in Lighathalzen so I could wear the Shadow Handicraft - cute!

Captivated by Bali's Simple life :GALUNGAN

have you ever visit Bali? well, i assume you've visit Bali once ^^, but if you doesn't lets read some description of Bali From WikiPedia

Bali is an Indonesian island located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island.

With a population recorded as 3,551,000 in 2009,^[2] the island is home to the vast majority of Indonesia's small Hindu minority. About 93.2% of Bali's population adheres to Balinese Hinduism, while most of the remainder follow Islam. It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music.

Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali

Galungan is a Balinese holiday that occurs every 210 days and lasts for 10 days. Kuningan is the last day of the holiday. Galungan means "When the Dharma is winning." During this holiday the Balinese God visit the Earth and leave on Kuningan

Occurring once in every 210 days in the pawukon (Balinese cycle of days), Galungan marks the beginning of the most important recurring religious ceremony that is celebrated by all Balinese. During the Galungan period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have ancestors that have not yet been cremated, but are still buried in the village cemetery, must make offerings at the graves.

Although Galungan falls on a Wednesday, most Balinese will begin their Galungan 'holiday' the day before, where the family is seen to be busily preparing offerings and cooking for the next day. While the women of the household have been busy for days before creating beautifully woven 'banten' (offerings made from young coconut fronds), the men of our village usually wake up well before dawn to join with their neighbours to slaughter a pig unlucky enough to be chosen to help celebrate this occasion. Then the finely diced pork is mashed to a pulp with a grinding stone, and moulded onto sate sticks that have been already prepared by whittling small sticks of bamboo. Chickens may also be chosen from the collection of free-range chickens that roam around the house compound. Delicate combinations of various vegetables, herbs and spices are also prepared by the men to make up a selection of 'lawar' dishes. While much of this cooking is for use in the offerings to be made at the family temple, by mid-morning, once all the cooking is done, it is time for the first of a series of satisfying feasts from what has been prepared. While the women continue to be kept busy with the preparations of the many offerings to be made at the family temple on the day of Galungan, the men also have another job to do this day, once the cooking is finished. A long bamboo pole, or 'penjor', is made to decorate the entrance to the family compound. By late Tuesday afternoon all over Bali the visitor can see these decorative poles creating a very festive atmosphere in the street.

"Penjor"

On Wednesday, the day of Galungan, one will find that most Balinese will try to return to their own ancestral home at some stage during the day, even if they work in another part of the island. This is a very special day for families, where offerings are made to God and to the family ancestors who have come back to rest at this time in their family temple. As well as the family temple, visits are made to the village temple with offerings as well, and to the homes of other families who may have helped the family in some way over the past six months.

The day after Galungan is a time for a holiday, visiting friends, maybe taking the opportunity to head for the mountains for a picnic. Everyone is still seen to be in their 'Sunday best' as they take to the streets to enjoy the festive spirit that Galungan brings to Bali.

The Surprising Wealth and Success of Japan

What is the difference between a developed society that has remained in an economic slump for 20 years and one with steady prosperity for the same period of time? The answer is not clear. But that question dogged my mind in a recent two week visit to Japan after a gap of 20 years.

The Japan of today is amazingly prosperous. The first thing you notice is that it is spic and span clean: not a cigarette butt on a station platform; metro car floors you could eat off of; all new autos including many Mercedes and BMWs; endless flows of prosperous Japanese students and other tourists; ultra modern buildings everywhere; restaurants full of diners; Kobe beef at $250 or more a pound. In back streets of Tokyo and Kyoto, there is not a sign of poverty, dirt, or disease.

This picture of Japan is radically at odds with global expectations after decades of slow or non-existent economic growth and deflation. What is going on, and what can we learn from it?

Economists' definition of success is all about dynamic growth. So how has Japan created steady prosperity in recent years?

Japan has a per capita income comparable with the United States, but its 20-year growth rate has been anemic. Its birth rate is well below the average for developed nations, but its savings rate remains among the highest in the world. Consumption as a percentage of GDP is well below the United States. Its stock market remains stagnant and well below its historical highs. Its interest rate levels are as low as a negative rate in some cases.

But, after its property bubble burst about 1990, it largely avoided the excesses in housing markets and derivatives that caused the serious credit problems in the US in 2008. Its unemployment rate remains very low because its employment polices insure a job for almost all citizens. And, of course it is very different from all other developed nations in that it is still an island state home to 130 million people, 90 percent of whom are pure ethnic Japanese with few religious issues and minimal immigration.

How have they navigated these past two decades with such steady results? Despite a lot of political turnover they are still a monolithic society with a remarkable sense of togetherness. One small but telling example is that a large percentage of Japanese people start their days exercising either in public, or at home to the same TV hosts. (Is it possible that a nation that exercises together and works together stays together?) There is a much smaller gap between the highest paid and least paid than in the US; although, there is also less social mobility and less innovation and entrepreneurship than in the US.

It is generally easier to allocate more than less. But the Japanese seem to have done more with less by making their people reasonably happy despite fewer resources. This surely has roots in Japanese welfare, with its remarkably fair treatment of people of all ages and needs, and Japanese education, a world leader built on intensive early literacy lessons and a "distillation" methodology that identifies and caters to the best students. Throughout their education and lives, Japanese teamwork and collective good is stressed and rewarded. This all for one, one for all mentality is rare in today's world, but it serves Japan well.

Overall Japanese economic growth appears to have stalled in the last twenty years, and as a result its public debt has reached dramatic levels that would make American deficit hawks shudder. But unlike the United States, the Japanese own much of their debt, and their willingness to save through government bonds pays off in infrastructure investments in transportation and internet access.

Global headlines describe Japan as a sluggish basket case. But as Europe comes to grips with a common currency and fractured fiscal policies and the United States faces its own excesses, one has to wonder whether Japan may not have quietly, possibly even unintentionally, discovered a new way to manage its economy: a low-inflation system that sacrifices dynamism for steadiness.

The Japanese seem to have discovered that their national wellbeing can be achieved even with declines in relative economic prosperity. Their population seems to be willing to make shared sacrifices to maintain the elements of daily life that they consider most important: social harmony and order, safety and environmental health.

As the leading economists' definition of economic success is all about consistent growth, how come Japan has, under the radar, defied the odds and created steady prosperity in recent years without the harmful inevitable excesses of volatility that seem to come with a singular pursuit of growth? One thing that stands out immediately is low birth and immigration rates. How much of that is conscious policy based is not clear. Another thing that helps them it seems is that the Yen is not a reserve currency. Despite their domestic level of debt, the Yen has continued to get stronger. Another factor perhaps is that their banking system, despite its upheaval twenty years ago after their property bubble burst, and their savings rate remain strong and vibrant so that Japan is free from concerns about the actions of foreign lenders.

That said perhaps a deeper wider understanding of the current Japanese "success" and their apparently stable prosperity might inform some constructive new thinking elsewhere among the world's political/economic gorillas about their fixation on growth.

How to Make Kimchi

Kimchi (a.k.a. kimchee) is a raw, pickled vegetable concoction indispensible to Korean cuisine. Kimchi usually includes tiny fish or shrimp. Wanting a vegan version, I decided to learn to make it myself. I've found that this spicy fermented side dish is quite easy to make, and will keep for many weeks in the fridge, slowly growing tangier.

	There are many types of kimchi eaten in Korea. Baechu kimchi, the most common variety, is made with Chinese cabbage. To make a batch of baechu kimchi: 5 heads of Chinese cabbage 2-3 heads of garlic 3 cups of salt 2 cups of red pepper powder [see below] 1-2 knobs of ginger optional: chopped scallions or watercress, cubed daikon radish Red pepper powder (kochukaru in Korean), a coarse powder of chili pepper flakes, can be found in any store selling Korean foodstuffs. It is made from a pepper of medium heat. If using a hotter pepper, use less (but kimchi is supposed to be spicy)!
	Wash the Chinese cabbage well, remove the outermost leaves and trim off the root. Traditionally, the heads are split lengthwise, and made into kimchi in this form. I recommend cutting the cabbage into smaller pieces, as follows: After splitting lengthwise, cut out a bit of the solid mass near the root. Laying halves flat side down, make 3 lengthwise cuts along each half. Then chop widthwise into one inch wide sections.
	Place the chopped cabbage into a large bowl or basin. Take 2 cups of the salt and make a brine with 15 or so cups of water. Pour the saltwater over the cabbage, and mix well. Let this stand for at least one hour.
	Chop up garlic and ginger. The amount you use is up to you. I never use exact amounts...and I've always enjoyed the result, even if it sometimes comes out more gingery or garlicy or spicy than usual. The only thing you really need to make kimchi is the salt: since this is a raw food, a certain amount of salt is needed to pickle and preserve the cabbage.
	Mix the garlic, ginger, 1.5 or so cups of red pepper and the remaining 1 cup of salt with a half cup or so of water. Mix it well. Your mixing hand will start to tingle. Relish this sensation.
	Once the cabbage has soaked for an hour in brine, drain off all of the liquid, then rinse the cabbage and drain again well. Mix the paste from above into the cabbage. Add optional ingredients mentioned above, if desired. Mix it all up well, until the paste coats the cabbage evenly. Mix it up some more!
	Once it's thoroughly mixed, place the mixture into very clean containers. Fill containers close to the rim. If there is some red liquid left over, pour it into each container. You don't want any air pockets in the kimchi containers, and you do want the cabbage to soak in this kimchi juice.
	Clean off the lips of the containers, and put on lids. Do NOT tighten lids too hard. Let the containers sit at room temperature for 2-3 days, and as they begin to ferment, air will bubble out and containers may leak a bit. Traditionally, kimchi is put into ceramic crocks and buried in the earth. You can put yours in the fridge. At fridge temperature, it will continue to slowly pickle, getting more tangy with time. You did it! You made your own kimchi! Enjoy.
