[Quest Guide] Knowledge Quiz

There is a daily which you can do 3 times a day once you reach level 3 Socialite. You can get it at Rio and it involves going to the Library, talk to Niachilo and answer one of this questions about some lore. This obviously requires a cheat sheet or some sort of nerd wish to know by heart tons of Lore about Forsaken World. If you are that kind of person, read no further. If you are like me, lazy and just want to finish dailies fast, then read on.

Once you reach Niachilo and chose to start the Quiz he will ask you the answer to a certain Story (which is numbered from 1 to 10) about a certain Theme (which is named just like one of the sections bellow).

[Quest Guide]: A Puppet Returned

This was my first special quest and I hit a snag when I found it. These quests require you to read the NPC texts carefully. Know the world and where some NPC are located. So here is a guide for this one. I found it on the Forsaken World Forum

Part 1

  1. go to a Grocer npc in freedom harbour (open map M and scroll down for Grocer npc and double click to auto route ; very easy to find Toodle the little clown on the way to the Charlie's ship)
  2. buy scissors ( Misc. the 2nd tab from goods category) - 20 soul-bronze-coins
  3. give it to Susan [Freedom Harbor 57 52, 0 -6] on the alley behind the alchemy tutor.

After that , wait around 1 min. or come back later to take the puppet
Repeat for another puppet if you see message on quests 2/3 about turning in puppets.
After you done 2nd time puppet go back to Annie from Oblivion area.
Note , not all puppets are required , Anne will need the male puppet i think, other puppets left u can store in bank if need later or delete them, I saved them in bank just in case. Later if i dont find a use of them i will delete them .

Part 2

Crab's Bauble 0/1 - After you turned in the puppet quest , for 2nd part , teleport back to Freedom Harbor , look on world map in Kalaires Plain for Lake of Clemency . Go there and kill Freshwater Crabs (lvl14-15) , the Bauble drop is random. Can be droped from 1st crab or after more than 15 crabs

Part 3

Cod Fishing ( Cod fish 0/3 ) - Bring to Anne 3 Cod.Cod fish can be bought from AH or free from Fishing job (lvl2) near Fishing tutor on that lake or from players afk shops.If you have an alt char with Fishing job i suggest you to start fish 3 cod and send them to your char when you start A Puppet Return
(mail takes 1 hour to receive it and 5 soul silver)

Part 4

A Single Lavender ( Lavander 0/1 ) - Bring to Anne 1 Lavender . Lavender ( lvl 1 botany herb) can be farmed in Kalaires Plain map , bought from AH or players shops.

Reward :
~2 gold (untradable coins)

[Profession Guide] Socialite

Raising socialite skill isn't easy. I also had a hard time understanding how to get the Persuade and Intimidade skills which you should notice begin to be sort of a requirement to some quests once you reach level 20.

Raising Social Skill

In order to even learn the Persuade and Intimidate Job skills (don't confuse these with the ones you can use in NPC dialogs) you need to be a Level 3 Socialite, which is no easy task. The best way to raise social skill, which means earning social experience, is by doing the following Rio daily quests:
  • Scent of the Heart (requires level 1, gives 10 Social skill)- I haven't yet done this one. It requires a female and a male character. The female obtains a certain perfume. The male then needs to obtain the same perfume and give it to the female. Then she uses the perfume near the male character. Or something like that. As an extra benefit you learn special actions/emotions once you do this quest. One of them (kiss) is required for some quests. So I suggest doing these in a bunch
  • Wish Card (requires level 1, gives 10 social skill) - You can do these only as part of the Life in the Harbor dailies you get from Henry. Sometimes you can get lucky and get 2 or 3 in a row, but don't rely on these to do steady level up of your social skill.
  • Negotiations (requires level 2, gives 90 social skill) - You can do these by simply talking with some NPCs. It will be a major help reaching level 3.
Personally I only did Negotiations and Wish Card quests. I tried the scent of her heart but most of the times I found impatient female characters who didn't bother explaining me what to do and since I was still waiting for some real life friends to join me on Forsaken World I decided not to bother too much with it.

Persuade and Intimidade Skills


You get these skills from the Socialite Tutor.Pierre Dannika for example, which is right next to Rio. There is a catch though, which I only found out after reaching Socialite Rank 3: you need to have thirty social contribution to learn each one. That's right... social contribution. I thought I had to volunteer at the hobo Christmas dinner or something but no. There is only two ways to obtain social contribution and that's:
  • Enter instances with a party. It doesn't need to be a pre-formed party. You need to finish the instance however. And I'm not entirely sure how the social contribution points are awarded. Probably having people finish quests and stuff adds a bit more. If you do God's Trial frequently you won't have a problem with lacking social contribution.
  • Finish Quell the Elements quests with a party. Once again, I'm not sure it needs to be a party of more than 2. I still need to try this out. This quest is given in Sea of Oblivion and requires you to kill a bunch of elemental monsters (usually 20).
You can check your social contribution points by opening you character pane, then opening the Reputation pane, clicking the Personal tab and checking the Contribution value. Hovering the mouse over the Contribution gives you some help on how to get more of it and how to use it.
