Quest Tactics[]

I'd Turn Back If I Were You. This is where Leafsung Ink first starts to show its ugly intensity. Crafting these 30 items involves 30 vials of Leafsung Ink, which in turn involves 150 Poison (or in other words, 150 Aracni battles; possibly 120, if you spread it out and have a couple dozen Wooden Chests/Keys from Daily Quests supplementing), 150 Essence, 90 Claws, and 90 Dust, apart from the Wood Swords and Leaf Boots and Leaves involved. One little Golden Chest won't come near to replacing the resources you spend on it.

Leafsung Wooden Swords can be crafted in Mama Tree at Alia of Air.

Lore[]

I learnt something new about the City Guard today. They use different equipment for different Missions. For example, when performing quick scouting and patrolling in the Northern Desert, then lightweight Forest weapons are better than their normal steel ones. The Captain wants all of the City Guard to have Leafsung weapons for scouting duty. I think I might adapt that good idea - it would work well for me and my Missions! A strong Attack would power me through small creatures, and a good Defense is extremely useful for long battles... or do I always want to have the highest Luck?
