    Great job Dylan! :love:
    Personally I would add a special section for Books from Quests that have specific / unavoidable party requirements (also everything related to El-Nath PQ deserves a special mention). I think it would be very helpful, since it is especially relevant to us. Keep up the good work!

    Im aware, the quests like that and the lvl10 skill books are difficult because they aren't directly put on plentys guide and I'm no expert, if you can let me know what comes from where as far as the level 10 books that'd be great because I only put the 2 I know about aca10 and TT10

    Sadly I'm no expert as well (kinda noob about everything related to books, and doing research as well). T_T Now it's a bit late for me already, but I can help you tomorrow! And if other people want to come and help, that would be much appreciated. 0:)

    i think the job4 skills book that are "impossible" to obtain without doing party should be an "option", so we have the "pure" ironman that will never in any circumstances join a party, not even for a skill book, then we have the ironman that chooses that option so he/she can get the book.
    its similar when we decide what "build" we want to make for our class.

    builds:
    - allow Party/Disallow Party (for skillsbook)
    - NX enabled/disabled (if disabled you should not be able to buy anything, gacha, pets, cosmetics, etc)
    - Dex/Luk-less or Normal builds (a normal build will put needed stats to be able to wear class armor and weapons)
    - Ban Scrolls/Allow Scrolls (another variation, where you will use what you get, scrolling is forbidden)

    if i start an ironman, i want it to be as "pure" possible.
    no party at all (even if i know i will never get some skills book), that means i need to plan well, choose the right class so i know i can play it.
    then i dont like NX to be used at all. i want my ironman to be pure, no cosmetic to hide what he have on him or use lots of NX to get items from gacha.
    then im thinking of builds that is about dex/luk-less. yes, my characters are that. so its nothing wrong with that, but when i do the ironman it will be following the normal build, to have enough stats to wear all weapons and armors that class have.
    then we have Scrolls. im thinking here that, well, why not use it? but that means i will focus on that quite a bit instead of hunting it (forever) until i get a godly drop. of course we have pets. to play without means i need to click a button to fill up my HP/MP. more work. but ironman should not be easy.

    Thank you @Bella! :love:

    Okay, as I promised here is my contribution:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13563900/royals/[WIP]4thJPartyReq.html

    The guide is still heavily work-in-progress, and I am still looking for a confirmation for certain skills.
    Please, let me know if the format can be useful for the Ironman Challenge. If you like it, I will keep working on it!

    EDIT: I re-read my post and realized that maybe I should add a couple of lines about that link.
    The purpose of that guide is to give an overview of which non-core Skills cannot be unlocked in solo, due to quest requirements, or because the drop location is not technically accessible by a single player.
    Since the Ironman Challenge is primarily a solo mode, I think this is a very important detail to be aware of, and I wanted to “build” something specific around it.

    The informations, once verified, can be freely integrated in any other guide \ location list.
    However, if you think my piece of writing could be useful as a “standalone”, I can expand it with more relevant info (i.e. regarding Mastery Books from GPQ). Thanks!

    Ah where to begin my friends, I have started this Journey with nothing more than a sword in my hand, a pair of red rubber boots, blue shorts and a white t-shirt. My hair was a shaggy mess, Sweat poured down my face as the swarms of snails came at me, coming in many various colours; red, blue... can't forget about the green. So many damn green ones... so weak and yet... so many. They wanted to feed on my soul, but instead they tasted my blade. Left and right they fell one after another. Too scared to do anything they just ran in fear. But the damn stumps wouldn't go down like that... They would charge at me with their hard heads and harder skin. But eventually the training was too much for any creature on that Island, I became too strong and was politely asked to leave, they even paid of my ride, how kind of them. Almost felt like they exiled me for life, damn bastards never allowing me to come back... to where it all began. Alas I made it to the main land with nothing more than a dream to be the worlds greatest thief, but would I choose the wield kunai or continue with a smaller blade for quicker strikes; that decision came later, for now I had but one path to go. I decided to grab a quick drink in the shady town of kerning, the towns folk were nice for the most run down of all the Victoria Cities, other than Nautalius if you can even count that as a city, just one damn submarine... Lousy pirates... Always stealing from us hard working thieves... Anywho I am getting side tracked. After a few too many drinks I stumbled into the bathroom which had a hole in the floor which I fell down, I must say it was embarrassing to say I pee'd myself a little bit, but It was okay because I was alone... or was I. A man came up to me walking on the ceiling, asking me what I desired, I instantly yelled, or perhaps slurred, "Money, Power, and Infamy." He said he could give me all 3 for a price... Becoming his subordinate, I must have said yes because I awoke to a dagger in one hand and a claw in the other and about 20,000 mesos in my pocket. I had never seen so much... I wanted more and he was the way to get it. He told me to fight more of the stumps, what once slain me several times on the island I destroyed one by one, until I killed around 200. Fearing me so much they stopped spawning. I asked my teacher what I had to do, he told me to venture off into the world, gain fame by helping people but infamy by destroying the land around me, taking no prisoners. I left kerning and continued on my journey, I found a desert quite far from the land but it was okay, I found a skunk hiding under a palm tree frightened by the damn cacti. It smelled horrid, but I picked him up and took him to be healed. I didn't have that much but I got enough food for him and after that moment he would not leave my side, picking up items and mesos I needed for my travels, sometimes he picked up things I didn't need, We need to work on that truth be told. He keeps stealing people's clothes and weapons that I don't need so I just drop them, I see no need to sell any of those things when I can sell the random items all creatures drop. Some creatures seem to be thieves too though taking mesos from fallen travelers. I won't stand for it, I might be a thief and a murderer... But I don't stand for such blatant disrespect. After grinding and grinding I did it, My master called me in and asked for me to decide whether to wield the claw or dagger, I told him I desired a fast but close range battle with my foes. I want to watch them suffer as I slit their throats... So it was decided I would be a bandit for life, he had a task for me though, collect some marbles so stupid... Truth be told I think he just wanted a gift for his *wink wink* lil girl friend, but that lazy sh*t is always in the bar drinking. One day I think I need to knock him down a few pegs, I mean I can already kill a mushmom, SUUUURE it took over an hour and about 2M worth of pots... But I did it all on my own... I keep getting stronger, perhaps I will. But for now... I'll stick to Lego-land, the teddies there drop some pretty nice stuffings and bows that I can give to all the pretty girls along my journey.

    To sum This all up though:
    No NPCing items other than ETC items, all Equips are to be dropped no matter what (unless I plan to use them myself)
    When I hit 50 and gacha, all non class items are to be dropped too
    The only way I will get fame is through quests and trading fame, no purchasing fame for any reason
    Smega's are going to be used just for friendships and community based things
    If i am ever in the FM it is to have friendly conversation with people
    Well that is where I am at for the moment Much more to come later! <3

    So i finally hit lvl50 and did my 105 ticket gach run! 102 in kerning 3 in CBD
    Foxz Gach 1.png
    and sadly I've got to say this flag was the best equip I got out of it followed by the 3 below average raven's claw :'( On the bright side those 2 equips are cool and i got a bunch of scrolls, passed a 10% on a bathrobe then proceded to fail 2/4 60s so i made a 9 dex 5 slot overall which will eventually beat my 10 dex overall i made with 100%s
