A Rendezvous with the Band Rendezvous Posted by Marian Posadas , 12/31/09 at 5:55 AM, in Labels: Pics and Vids

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny,” so said the iconic former US president Ronald Reagan.

Apparently, the word ‘rendezvous’ is big – especially in the world of music.

 

 

The novel electropop band Rendezvous promises to be a hit. Their songs hold a strong voice, showing different musical accents while maintaining a uniform impression. Veering away from the messy and cluttered, Rendezvous’ songs of give off clean notes and smart beats. Unlike most electronica bands, Rendezvous manages to stand out by going one step further and giving electropop a fresh jazz groove.

 

So, is Rendezvous an electronica band? Yes and no.

Yes, because they craftily manipulate electronic instruments to produce music. No, because they offer so much more than just that. They deserve a multi-classification, a genre of their own, a description with slashes and hyphens.

Itai Simon and Hagai Izenberg, the two geniuses behind Rendezvous, hail from Israel and plan to conquer the world of music. A short year after brainstorming and experimenting with different sounds, they released their very first EP. It made quite a splash, attracting the attention of music lovers worldwide.

They are now working with music moguls like Dave Bascombe who has teamed up before with the iconic bands Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears. The music world is holding its breath, awaiting Rendezvous’ first electronica album that is a guaranteed smash hit.

You can almost picture yourself having a mug of hot latte in your favorite coffee shop, relaxing to their Incognito track, remaining incognito yourself. It’s easy to imagine Marilyn Monroe strutting the streets in her carefree white halter dress, walking to the beat of So What. And if you have any plans of stalking someone, a fitting background song for you would be No Man’s Land. See? Rendezvous carries tunes that tell a story!

Finally, the Rachel Sanctuary/ Dungeon Quest walkthrough for Ragnarok is revealed!
Expect to donate 500M zeny for you to activate the Rachel Sanctuary quest. Talk to Nenma (ra_temple 116 174), then give her 50k, 100k or 150k zeny. For every 50k zeny you give, you will be given one Temple Lottery Ticket. Redemption is done Panno (an NPC) inside the Rachel temple (ra_temin 170 46). When you reach the maximum donation amount, the temple entrance shuts down and you may start with the Rachel Sanctuary/ Dungeon quest. Whether or not your character made a donation wouldn’t matter, as long as the temple entrance is already closed.

Requirements for the Rachel Sanctuary Dungeon Quest in Ragnarok:

Level: Base Level 60 or higher

Other: A total donation worth 500M made to the temple in your server (made by you and other characters)

Quest: Lost Child Quest

Items:

 1 Candy

  40 Glacial Heart

 20 Firecracker  (you can find this for sale in Party Supplies Shop in Hugel, sold for 500z per piece)

What you get from the Rachel Sanctuary/ Dungeon Quest in Ragnarok:

- 1,100,000 Base Experience

- 600,000 Job Experience

-  Access to Rachel Sanctuary Dungeon

What you need to do:

1. Have a chat with Nemma (ra_temple 116 174). She will then ask you for help. She’s worried because children are sneaking their way into the Rachel temple.

2. Have a chat with the Kid located by the lake of Rachel (243 37). Chat with him till he talks about fighting priests. Choose the option “Yeah, I love them.” Then, give the kid a candy. He will then share with you the secret to entering the Rachel temple.

3. Return to the Rachel temple and look for the secret window. The secret window will then pop up. Select “Enter through window.”

4. Begin exploring the temple. If you find this hard, please refer to the map provided below. While going through (que_rachel 94 138), (que_rachel 59 112), and (que_rachel 132 70), you will get a pop-up message that will clue you in. Go to the circled part of the map and investigate the blood stains.

 

Go upstairs to investigate the bloodstains. Once you’re upstairs, look for the checkered floor. You will then find the portal behind a statue. Enter the said portal.

5. As you’re walking up towards the gate, you’ll receive a pop-up message concerning the blood stains. Just investigate till the message says that you have to get out.

6. Return to where you came from. You will then get another pop-up message when you reach que_rachel 165 37, que_rachel 160 37, que_rachel 175 37, que_rachel 170 37, and que_rachel 180 37. Any of these locations will do. Then, go out of the Rachel temple.

7. Upon reaching the exit portal (que_rachel 169 18), either kick or push the door.

8. Have another chat with Nemma. Then, get inside the sanctuary through the door behind Nemma.

9. Get into the Rachel temple and chat with Panno (ra_temin 170 46). Ask Panno, “Hey, did you open the gate?” Then, chat with her again. Panno will share the truth.

10. Chat with Nemma again. She will then ask for a lot of 20 Fire Crackers. Give Nemma the Fire Crackers. She will ask you to talk to some follower in Rachel 11. Find this Seeking Follower in Rachel (142 167). This follower will ask you to seek out the High Priest, Zhed. If the follower says, “May Freya be with you,” this means you have done the Lost Child Quest already. You may then proceed to look for High Priest Zhed. Otherwise, you have to complete the Lost Child Quest.

12. Look for  High Priest Zhed (ra_temin 277, 159). From the temple door, walk North East, ground floor. He will give you the experience you need for the Lost Child Quest. Chat with him again till he starts talking about 40 Glacial Hearts. He will also hand you a Letter of Recommendation for the pope.

 

13. Give the glacial hearts to the Pope’s guards

14. Chat with the Pope (ra_temsky 99 100). She will then ask about you. Answer anything.

15. Return to High Priest Zhed (ra_temin 277 159). He will say he has to chat with someone, thenhe will warp you for you to enter the next room.

16. After being warped, go towards the left wall (ra_temin, 288 158), then eavesdrop on their talk.

17. After the talk, the High Priest Niren should appear. She will ask you regarding Zhed and her relationship with Zhed.

18. Return to High Priest Zhed and talk to him. He will mention that he needs to rest. Walk out and a pop-up message appears: “You have found a key.” Choose “Pick it up.” Then, use the key to enter the evasive Rachel Sanctuary.

19. The entrance to Rachel Sanctuary is in ra_temin (29 312). With the key, open the door.

20. You’re now at the 1^st level of the Rachel Sanctuary. Proceed to the 2^nd level by using the south portal.

21. On the second level, walk north. Near que_san04 (121, 137), you’ll receive a pop-up message.

22. Just keep walking north. You will get another pop-up message.

23. Keep walking north. High Priest Niren will then show up. She will force you to get out and you will go back to Rachel.

24. Return to High Priest Zhed (ra_temin 277 159). He will ask you to keep things secret about what you saw in the Santuary. Now, you may access the Holy Ground (ra_san).

Expect to get 900,000 Base Exp (the previous 200,000 you already got from Nemma) & 600,000 Job Experience. You’re done with the Rachel Sanctuary Quest!

You may now enter the Rachel Sanctuary  through the bloody gate. In case you forgot, this is located on the 2nd floor. You can enter whenever you need to.

The Rachel Sanctuary is great for getting zenies and EXP.

Good luck with Ragnarok Rachel Dungeon/ Rachel Sanctuary Quest!

Go from swordman to KNIGHT in just three days! Posted by Marian Posadas , at 10:40 PM, in Labels: Guides and Cheats

This is the best way to get a good swordman and to transform him to a knight quickly:

First, get your basic skills up to lvl9. Then, go to Izlude and change your job at the swordman hall.

Once you’re a swordman, buy yourself a basic sword. It costs around 100z-  600z – really cheap! However, it doesn’t have a good attack power. Still, it will be very useful.

Then, go kill some porings until you have enough money to buy 150 red potions. You will need these red potions when you go down to Prontera, then go east, to arrive at Poporing land. Kill the poporings - but be careful! Don’t die just yet; use your red potions. DO this till you reach lvl 25.

Once you get to lvl 25, go to the Ant Hill. Do some quick killing, which is really easy there. Stay there till you’re at lvl 32.

Upon reaching lvl 32, kill pecopecos. Do this till you reach lvl 37.

Then, go to Payon. You can get warped to Payon from a kafra. Once at Payon, go east twice. You'll then encounter smokies – kill them and use bash if you have to. Do this till you are at lvl 40.

When you are at lvl 40, go to Al de Baran. Ask a priest or acolyte to warp you - or go to a kafra to get warped there. In Al de Baran, go to the Toy Factory. Kill the Cookies and Xmas-cookies till you reach lvl 51.

Here’s the easy part: leave Al de Baran and go to Orc Dungeon. Kill all the orc zombies and skeletons you encounter. You will soon reach lvl 54 and job lvl 40. If you want to reach job lvl 50, stay in the Orc Dungeon till you are at lvl 59. Once you accomplish this, go back to the Toy Factory,second lvl. Kill the cruisers and mystcases; this will get you up to lvl 63 & job lvl 50 in just 3 hours.

 

STATS:

keep raising your Str and your dex till max

SKILLS:

This is important! Do this in the right order – don’t mess it up!

Lvl 10 Increase HP Recovery
Lvl 10 One Hand Mastery
Lvl 10 Provoke
Lvl 5 Endure
Lvl 5 Magnum Break

Good Luck! Soon, you get the job change you need from swordman to knight.
