Wings of the Goddess Side Quests
guide ยท Server guide
This page covers a set of Wings of the Goddess side quests: herbal remedies and lost jewelry in the three nations of the past, the Scholar's third artifact quest, the pixies' weapon blessing, the Swarm, and Cait Sith's challenges in the Walk of Echoes. Zones marked [S] are the past versions reached through the Cavernous Maws.

The foes are level 76-82 and drop nothing. If the fight is left unfinished it clears itself after 30 minutes, and you can talk to the pixie again.
- When every foe is down, a Jubilant Pixie appears for a few minutes. Talk to it (or to the Watchful Pixie if it has flown off) and your weapon comes back with one to three random augments: attributes, HP, accuracy, attack, evasion, magic accuracy, magic attack, Fast Cast, Store TP, and ranged accuracy or attack for the Gendawa and Hexagun.
- Don't like the result? Trade the weapon to any Watchful or Jubilant Pixie for new augments. You get five tries in all.
- To bless another weapon, trade it to Callisto again.
The Swarm (repeatable)
- Start: use a Flask of Pest Repellent (from seasonal events). The quest only appears after you use it.
- Talk to Fortilace in Rolanberry Fields [S] (D-9). Everyone in your party standing nearby is taken into the mines with you. Any party size can go.
- You have one minute to prepare (buffs wear off on entry), then "Contact made!"
- For five minutes an endless swarm pours in where you arrived. Swarmspawn wander about and never fight back. Dinky, Fodder and Picayune vermin attack. Area-of-effect spells and abilities work best.
- Every kill scores points (Swarmspawn 100, Dinky 150, Fodder 200, Picayune 300). Quick kills build a Swarm Chain, worth up to double points. Now and then the whole party gets an HP or TP boost.
- When time runs out, the party's scores and best chains are listed and you are returned to Fortilace.
- Reward: title Swarminator. Your score doesn't change the outcome. The quest leaves your log afterwards, so another Pest Repellent starts it a [cut off]
