Complete Node and Resource List

This was very well put together so I figured I would share another useful document that I found. It is a spreadsheet with a complete list of nodes and all of the resources that can be procured at them.

Calpheon Noble Dress: Worth It's Weight In Gold!

Normally nobility is out of my element on Kyltania... but I finally broke down and got myself a dress. It has a fairly hefty price tag but I can assure you it's worth it. It's quite an elegant piece to add to your wardrobe. It even comes with the tiara and necklace attached to it. Please note the flower headpiece and earrings are separate and can be purchased in the Pearl Store.

Home Sweet Tarif!

The Dromedes Household has moved to Tarif. The houses are a lot smaller there but I thoroughly enjoyed making the most of the space that I have there. It is a sorceress' cozy little dream with gorgeously detailed ritual windows and a very Harry Potter feel to the town.

Autopath Looping Implimented!

Finally much easier training to level up your horse or strength with a trade pack! Here is a quick video tutorial on how to do it:

Mediahn Furniture

So, in utter desperation I spent over 700+ energy acquiring a set of the Mediahn furniture and it looks really frickin' cute.... especially with the Easter Collection! The vendor is incredibly difficult to get amity with since I couldn't figure out where the information (Sophistication III) was so I just greeted her hundreds of times. Ironically one of the pieces of information on ON her after you get over 400 or so amity. Talk about ludicrous!

Bed and Wardrobe:

Dining Table & Chairs:

Sofa:

Dresser:

Try not to buy the bedside table from this vendor as it can be purchased in Calpheon from the sidetable vendor without amity.

Where is the Silk?!

This was incredibly frustrating as there are currently no nodes to farm silk at for silk thread and silk cloth in order to craft some of the furniture int he workshops. However, after doing some research I discovered that some objects like pine tree barrels and fish nets in villages, towns, and out in the wild can be searched for items and XP. Well, Behr Town happens to have these laundry racks that can be searched for random cloth drops as pictured here:

So far I have managed to get 2 silk cloth and 1 thread, along with an assortment of fleece and wool. Guess you're just going to have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Getting to Behr is a bit of a bear to begin with. I can only wish there were an easy way but there really isn't until the Valencia expansion. I can say that it is good for leveling your horse at least!

Here is a good reference photo of where Behr is located on the map (South of Calpheon):

Growing Furniture in a Garden

There's nothing like setting up that perfect immersive scene in your player housing. Sometimes the basic furniture can look a little bland so why not add a little bit of flair? I'm sure some of you have been wondering where the heck to get things for your home such as those lovely dried roses hanging up on the wall or those beautiful vases full of flowers. The answer is simple--grow them in your garden! Ever wondered what those mysterious glossy and bumpy seeds at the seed vendors grew? Well, now you know! I happened to make a handy dandy list of what each seed grew and where they could be acquired. Some are a cheap 25k and some are over 100k silvers so be prepared to drop some coin. But I can tell you they are totally worth it if you are all about decorating! All of the seeds have a 100% drop rate.

Black Seed - Pickled Onion (Heidel, Glish, Kasula Farm, Altinova)

Small White Seed - Basket of Strawberries (Loggia Farm, Olvia)

Sunflower Vase - Gigantic Seed (Kasula Farm, Altinova)

Tulip Lantern - Shiny Seed (Heidel, Glish, Altinova)

Bunch of Dried Roses - Dried Up Seed (Loggia Farm, Olvia, Kasula Farm, Altinova)

Bunch of Garlic - Half-Moon Seed (Kasula Farm, Altinova)

Oddly Shaped Pumpkin - Contorted Seed (Heidel, Glish)

Olive Tree Pot - Bumpy Seed (Loggia Farm, Olvia)

Red Rose Vase - Glossy Seed (Loggia Farm, Olvia, Heidel, Glish)

Yellow Tulip Pot - Shelled Seed (Loggia Farm, Olvia, Heidel, Glish)

If you want to find a seed vendor easily just go to the NPC Search button right next to the minimap and type "seed" into the search.

Horse Breeding Calculator

Looking to get that Tier 4 horse or Tier 6-8 horse of your dreams? I found a useful tool to help out with that. Though a lot of RNG is a factor when it comes to breeding this helps calculate the outcomes for you as a bit of a test.

They say a good formula is to start out with a Tier 1 female and get it to level 11 and breed it with a Tier 2 male at level 10 and you will most likely get a Tier 3 female. You can find many horses of different tiers on the Horse Market if you are willing to pay. Some are pretty cheap. Now if you get a Tier 3 male and a Tier 3 female to level 16 you can breed them for a good chance of a Tier 4. Get two Tier 4 to level 30 and you have a decent chance at a Tier 6.
