Walkthrough
- Talk to Balasiel in Southern San d'Oria who will give you the Spear of Trials and the Weapon Training Guide.
- If you chose the the wrong answer by mistake, zone out and back in to get the cutscene again.
- Perform Weapon Skills with the Spear of Trials until the latent effect disappears.
- To remove the latent effect, you must acquire 300 Weapon Skill Points.
- You receive 1 point for opening/soloing a Weapon Skill, 2 points for closing a Lv.1 Skillchain, 3 points for closing a Lv.2 Skillchain and 5 points for closing a Lv.3 Skillchain.
- See the Skillchain Chart for more details.
- You must perform Weapon Skills and Skillchains on monsters that directly grant experience points to you.
- You CANNOT acquire points from Weapon Skills performed during Campaign Battles or Besieged.
- Weapon Skills performed while under Level Sync count.
- It is not necessary to remove the weapon in order to see when the latent effect is removed. Error creating thumbnail: File missing
- Once you no longer receive the latent effect bonus, head back to Southern San d'Oria and trade the Spear of Trials back to Balasiel, who will take the weapon from you and give you a Map to the Annals of Truth and tell you to head to Sea Serpent Grotto. (Note: The latent effect will not always be removed once you hit the 300 Weaponskill points; to check your progress if unsure trade the weapon back to Balasiel.)
- You need to get a Sahagin Key from the Sahagin Key Quest.
- When everyone is ready, trade the Sahagin Key to the Ornamented door at (J-10/11). You cannot open it from inside and you lose the key, so make sure everyone gets in together. Pass the bridge into the next room.
- Click the ??? to spawn the NM Water Leaper.
- Once the NM is dead, reexamine the ??? to obtain the Annals of Truth.
- Bring this back to Balasiel for your reward.
- NOTE: You cannot unlock this quest if you already have another WSNM quest active, though you CAN cancel the quest by talking to the NPC that gave it to you.
