Detailed description: 0:00 - Game Load 0:14 - Glen Residences - Meadow Area Erik resumes in his house in the Meadow Area of the Glen Residences. Upon logging in, he reaches WAR Level 51 from experience earned for being hired as a support character. He earns 2 skill points for a total of 139 available. He should now be eligible for the next level limit quest, but he will endure that later. Erik examines his front door (2:03). He uses "Call Manager" to call Caretaker Lunne. He selects her "Concierge Settings" option. After listening to her explanation, he chooses to hire a private concierge. He hires a male Ogre whose default name is Bayaza and sets his location in the house. A concierge can also be placed outside. Erik talks to Bayaza the concierge afterwards (5:29). Erik gives Bayazu a new name, Alfred. A concierge can work for the player inside or in the garden. With the "Spend Charge Hours" option, Erik spends some Charge Hours to buy some Bonus Orbs. With the "Gift Reception" option, Erik picks up some Support Gold and Bingo Tickets. Bingo Tickets appear in the Currency Bag. Players can receive additional gifts each Friday. Erik earns the accolade "Veteran Traveler" for traveling the world and seeing many places. He also earns the accolade "Novice Collector" for collecting over 100 kinds of items. Erik also receives some Casino Token Tickets in the form of Copper Casino Tickets and Casino Play Tickets from Alfred. The Casino Play Tickets also appear in the Currency Bag, but the Copper Casino Tickets appear in the item bag. Then, Erik adjusts some of Alfred's settings. Erik goes outside. He checks his mail and gets his Bazaar sales. He also receives a notice from Muron about the end of this year's Kyurarana Beach event. It'd be nice if these things lasted a little longer. Erik exits at D-6/D-7 to Glen Castle Town. 13:13 - Glen Castle Town In the Tavern at D-2, Erik talks to Introducer Gargo at E-2 and hires a fresh support party. He picks up my other character, Davilas the Level 111 SGE/Sage, again. Then, Erik talks to Priest Guive in the Tavern. Erik changes his vocation to Level 1 PRI/Priest. Priests are the game's typical healers. They can equip Spears, Wands, Rods, or Shields. They can also fight barehanded with Fisticuffs. Their vocation skill is Faith. Erik starts with the spell Heal at Level 1. Heal restores at least 25 HP to a single ally. He equips a glamour. Erik takes the door at B-4 to the Station. 17:43 - Glen Castle Town Station Erik talks to Attendant Jiganba at C-6 (18:04). He buys a ticket to Azlan Station, Eltona. 18:43 - Azlan Station Erik already explored the station in video #013. After chatting with a few NPCs, he takes the exit at B-2 in the northwest to the Wind Town Azlan. 20:16 - Wind Town Azlan Erik emerges from the station at H-6 in the southeast. He begins exploring Eltona's hub city. Houkou at F-7 has story info. Erik talks to Kayanu at H-5 near the town's main entrance (22:07). Her name is in yellow, so Sanvitalia rewards Erik with a Mini Medal for a current total of 19. He has found a total of 24 Mini Medals so far, of which he has spent 5. Kayanu provides directions to nearby areas. She also recommends Erik speak to an NPC named Gunza. At F-6, there is an entrance to a small cave. Within, a red chest at D-5 contains 3 Bendy Branches (23:31). At F-5, Erik talks to Gunza between the Depository and the Inn (24:01). A brief scene takes place. Erik's next destination should be the Lord's Mansion in the west of town. This effectively begins the Version 1 storyline "Azlan Story". Erik visits the Inn at F-6. Within, a bookcase contains "How to Walk in Astoltia, Eltona". Another bookcase contains a book about the Wind Sending Ceremony. In the Depository at F-4, Erik deposits his Copper Casino Tickets in Item Storage. A bookcase in the Depository contains "Anecdotes of a Fountain". The Tavern is at F-3 in the northeast of town. Close to the Tavern is the Kirika at E-3. This is Azlan's church, and it is where the Priest vocation quests are issued. Erik talks to High Priest Iyori at E-2. He prays to set his resurrection point to Azlan, and he sets his Mount Gatara Zoomstone to the Wind Town Azlan destination. The town's commercial area is on the hill west of the Inn. Erik goes down the Well at D-4 (39:26). He finds sparkly spots for Fresh Water and one for Amor Seco Essence down here. He climbs the rope at D-4 out of the Well (39:56). He visits the Weapon Shop at D-5. He buys and equips a Bamboo Spear, a Level 1 spear, for 10 gold. He also visits the nearby Armor Shop at D-5. However, there is no Level 1 gear available in Azlan. So, Erik will buy something later. In the Traveler's Bazaar/Item Shop at E-7, a bookcase contains "Nature's Creatures: Azlantelope". Erik drops by the Traveler's Bazaar and puts a couple of materials up for sale. At the Item Shop, he gets a few more Treasure Eye Land Bells. The stairway starting at C-6 leads up to the Lord's Mansion. At B-5, Erik reaches the Lord's Mansion level (49:04). Starting at D-5, he takes the door at D-4 into the mansion. In the northeastern room, a red chest at E-4 contains an Yggdrasil Leaf (50:53). Erik has now collected all the fixed treasures in this town. The southwestern door at D-5/E-5 is currently locked. Hm. In the southeastern room, Erik talks to Lord Taketora at E-5 (52:18). After a little dialogue, a cutscene with Lord Taketora and his recently returned daughter Fuura takes place. After she leaves, Taketora asks Erik to talk to Fuura. After the event, Lord Taketora at E-5 has story info. Erik examines the door to the southwestern room at D-5/E-5 (57:26). This triggers a cutscene with Sonne, the cook. Erik's next destination is the Windy Cape north of Azlan. In the kitchen in the northwest of the mansion, Sonne at D-4 has story info. Erik leaves the Lord's Mansion and returns to the main level of town (1:00:24). Near the town entrance, Kayanu at H-5 has story info. Erik takes the exit at H-5 to the Azlan Region. 1:02:40 - Azlan Region Erik emerges from town at C-6 in the west. He leaves town and starts north. Since he is a Level 1 PRI, Erik will gain a few levels quickly in this area. Among the enemies near Azlan are She-Slimes, Bodkin Fletchers, Mitey Oaks, and Monologs. Look out for poison from the Bodkin Fletchers. After a battle, Erik jumps to PRI Level 5 (1:04:48). He learns the spells Squelch at Level 3 and Reheal at Level 5. Squelch cures an ally of the Poison status ailment. Reheal bestows a regen status that restores about 120 HP to a party member over time. Erik earns 8 skill points for a total of 8 available.

He learns the Priest-exclusive ability Magic Cloak, which recovers MP for the user after the user takes damage. He has 1 skill point available.

There are Bubble Slimes around E-3, for those that need them for Quest 030: "Love and Trust Depository". From this point, Erik turns northwest. Around C-2, he begins encountering Foo Dogs. At B-1 in the northwest, Erik exits to the Windy Cape. There is a crystal nearby, but he does not set a Zoomstone to it. The description is continued in a reply.

Description continuation: 1:18:01 - Windy Cape As Erik enters the Windy Cape, a cutscene with Fuura takes place. After a scene with the Azlantelopes, she tells Erik about her mother. Then, she comes to a decision. Erik must now return to Taketora in Azlan. Erik gains control at D-1 in the Windy Cape after the cutscene. He Zooms to the Wind Town Azlan destination. 1:23:01 - Wind Town Azlan Erik chats with some townspeople again. Gunza at F-5 has story info. Erik visits the Weapon Shop at D-5. He buys and equips an Iron Lance, a Level 14 spear, for 160 gold. He also buys a Slime Stick, a Level 14 wand, for 170 gold and a Light Shield, a Level 14 shield, for 120 gold. He equips the Slime Stick and Light Shield to weapon set B. Erik also visits the Armor Shop at D-5. He equips the Apothecary Upper Robe+2 that he acquired as a drop. He buys and equips other Level 14 gear: an Apothecary Lower Robe for 65 gold, a pair of Apothecary Shoes for 30 gold, and a pair of Chain Bracers for 30 gold. He sells his Bamboo Spear for a pittance of 3 gold. Erik also equips the Proof of All, Angel Slime Cap, and Occult Glasses. (What was I thinking not equipping the Angel Slime Cap?) Erik heads upstairs to the Lord's Mansion. In the Lord's Mansion, he talks to Lord Taketora at E-5 in the southeastern room (1:31:02). A cutscene with Taketora takes place. Taketora asks Erik to aid Fuura in retrieving the items she needs to become a Wind Rider. If Erik is successful, Taketora will give him the Green Key Emblem. Sounds reasonable to me. Erik must now meet Fuura at the Mountain Pass in the Inamino Highway south of the Azlan Region. After the scene, Lord Taketora at E-5 has story info. Erik returns to the main level of town after chatting with the mansion's occupants. Near the town gate, Kayanu can provide directions to the Mountain Pass. Erik Zooms to his "My House" destination in the Glen Residences. 1:35:56 - Glen Residences - Meadow Area Erik drops by the neighborhood's Traveler's Bazaar and puts some materials up for sale. He also visits the Depository and deposits some ore in Item Storage. In his house, Erik rests and signs off. Next time, he will continue "Azlan Story" and help Fuura get geared up to become a Wind Rider. Thanks for watching!
