Level 35 Quest.

Mr Shim's eyes are failing, and he desperately needs glasses. But the price for a pair is 300 bags of State-held Rice, which he simply can't afford.

Items Needed

Description

  1. Start the quest by talking to Mr. Shim, who can be found in Korean Folk Town.
  2. Hunt for 300 State-held Rice, dropped by Retz.
  3. Go back to Mr. Shim for your reward.

Rewards

Notes

  • It's advised that you avoid this quest until you're in the level mid-50s unless you have a very high amount of patience. While Retz aren't necessarily hard to kill for level 40 players, they deal a high level of damage compared to the monsters in Eos Tower. What's more, the drop rate of the State-held Rice is only half that of the Sunflower Seeds, and the rice only stacks up to 100.
  • I would estimate you get 50 state-held rice every 200 Sunflower seeds. Also they best way to do it is if it is in your targeted training level, for example, for I/L mages, at lv 40-50 it's a great quest since you should/could be training there and you can brag you did it.
  • (By Lost Requiem) For the sake of completing the quest, I stayed in Ludibrium and did nothing but kill Retz to collect 300 state rice. Using a rough estimate, I concluded that I had to kill around 1200-1400 Retz to get all the 300 state rice. Given the dismal rewards for the quest, I'd advise that unless you have a tower of patience, to put this one off unless you're that compulsive about finishing all the quests like I am.
  • After the Big Bang, the amount of State-held Rice sacks dropped in numbers of 5-10.
