Recently I hit class lvl15 on my 275 cleric (rank8 advancement) and I decided to go Plague Doctor circle1 for r8 (my character is fully support oriented, and also has all points put into SPR). This advancement quest requires you to be poisoned 5 times by a specific mob in Coastal Fortress, and to be slept 5 times by a specific mob in Dingofasil District. At first this may sound simple enough, but there is a huge oversight in quest design here: Because of my char’s stats (SPR causes you to resist status effects, and I have 463 SPR with gear, 413 without gear) and the lvl difference (it has to be these specific mobs which are lvl210ish; other mobs and friendly duel statuses don’t count for the quest) it has proven to be virtually impossible for me to finish this quest. After hours of trying/150+ sleep attempts, only 1 has ever landed on my char. I’ve even had friends come and try to use the Crown skill to lower my SPR to 1, but because it is also a status effect it can’t seem to land on my char.

So far I’ve sent in 2 tickets about this, just asking for a simple greenlight/clear on this quest since the situation is obviously an oversight on the devs’ part and the quest does not reward any money etc/this is clearly a sincere request for help with a serious problem. Both responses given by the game staff seem pretty uninformed, and one was downright incoherent:


(The guy doesn’t seem to be aware that it’s hardly about the level and is almost exclusively about the fact that the amount of SPR I have makes my char resist like 95+% of statuses even from on-level monsters)


(The maintenance hes referring to not only had NOTHING to do with this issue, but it also took place before I even sent my ticket in lol…)

Anyway, this issue has basically become the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me. I’ve put up with so much nonsense from this game over these past months, and now even with a simple issue like this I can’t get any help from this game’s staff. It’s ridiculous.

I know how you feel, I too had the same problem. :disappointed_relieved: After some time I eventually beat it. Try to grab more than one mob so they fire off their status effect skills more often.
You just gotta persevere.

Truly unfortunate, but such is the price of specializing your build to be quite resistant to status effects. If anything, the quest could be changed to have you simply kill certain mobs and “gather” materials

I think the sad part about this is that it wasn’t really even specializing my build to be resistant to status effects, but rather specializing my build to be support on what can be considered the go-to support character (cleric). Resisting statuses is just a side perk (and would largely be irrelevant once I have PD anyway); the main reason for pumping SPR was because a number of good cleric skills scale with it and you have virtually unlimited SP.






(that -crit res used to go negative until the latest patch, which meant it was likely something like +55% crit rate on a lvl280 mob)

I don’t think IMC intended to punish people for making sensible build decisions which is why I consider this an oversight, but the fact that I can’t get any support from staff for a simple and legitimate issue like this just further solidifies what I’ve been feeling the past few months with this game: That it’s not worth supporting/spending anymore time on.
