[Timed Quest] Rubin’s Special Training I
Bring Rubin’s fruit crate to Milano Belucci
Bring Belucci’s cart of potatoes to Merv
Sweep the chimney atop the building behind Merv
You need to perform a series of actions within 4 minutes.
After accepting the task from Rubin and triggering the timer through the dialogue, crates will appear nearby; you need to take one of them to the fruit vendor, Milano Belucci, and hand it over to her.
Tip: You can start the timer at Rubin’s place, pick up the crate, and carry it as far as the bridge (you cannot cross the bridge, or the crate will disappear).
Return to Rubin and restart the timer; this way, you can gain some extra time.
Near the fruit vendor Milano Belucci, there will be carts filled with apples; take one to the tailor Merv and hand it over to her.
Then, run up the stairs to the right of Merv, head to the third floor, and make your way onto the roof on the right.
You’ll find a chimney there. Clear it out, then quickly return to Rubin.
Tip: Place a horse near Merv beforehand; jump from the roof onto the horse to reach Rubin more quickly.
Return to Rubin and complete the quest.

[Timed Quest] Rubin’s Special Training IV
Find Alustin in Velia and solve the problem
Find Freharau in Glish and solve the problem
Find Gorgath at the Contaminated Farm and solve the problem
Go to Rubin in Calpheon. Accept the quest and start the timer through the dialogue option with him.
Within 9 minutes, you must meet with three renowned alchemists and answer their questions.
Please note that each player will receive a different question:
- meet with the alchemist Gorgath in Calpheon (Contaminated Farm) and answer his question, for example,
84 x 52 = 132, 95 x 25 = 110 — in short, if you see something like this, type 105 in the white chat.
1221 + 74 = 135, 1004 + 111 = 1155 — if you see this, type 206 in the white chat.
There may also be cases where the answer is 37 or 62.
- Meet the alchemist Freharau in Glish and answer his question – for example, which of the following ingredients is not used in a seal potion? (answering costs 50 energy points)
- Meet the alchemist Alustin in Velia and answer his question – for example: “Which of the following ingredients is not used in alchemy?” (answering costs 50 energy points)
Freharau and Alustin ask random questions; here are the possible options:
EXP Elixir = Purified Water
Helix Elixir = Trace of Nature
Elixir of Wings = Wise Man’s Blood
Velia Specialty = Wine
Region = Pilgrim’s Sanctum: Purity
Kalis Parliament = Basquean Ljurik
Elixir of Seal = Oil of Corruption
Tip: To get from Calpheon to Glish more quickly, use a Traveler’s Map after passing Delphe Knights Castle in the direction of Heidel.
Then return to Rubin and complete the quest.
To finish the quest entirely, open the dialogue with Rubin and select “The Rubin’s Special Training IV is complete.”

[Timed Quest] Rubin’s Special Training V
Transform into a Stoneback Crab then dodge the obstacles to pass through Elder’s Bridge
Accept the quest from Rubin in Calpheon and head to Elder’s Bridge, where Rubin will be waiting for you. After speaking with him and starting the timer (which costs 50 Energy), you must run across the bridge to locate an obstacle; as soon as you find it, a Stoneback Crab will appear behind you.
This is a transformation. You interact with the Stoneback Crab and climb inside it; then, you must crawl as the crab along the edge of the bridge – either the right or the left side, whichever you prefer – to the other side and speak with Rubin. You have 3 minutes to complete this quest.
