Royal Operations Quest/Drake Down

File:DrakeDown.jpg

Objective

This is a mission on Tier 1 of the Royal Operations Quest. The mission is to search for Drake hidden among the wraiths. When he's found, the task is to defeat him, that's it.

You start off at the bottom of the map, at the the stern of the boat. The map is filled with Wraith monsters. Make your way around the whole map, killing any monsters you see. Every wraith you kill, will spawn Wraith Dead monsters. However, 1 special Wraith, when killed, will spawn Strong Drake. Attack and defeat him, then you can claim your reward from the chest on the boat.

Tips / Advice

• The best classes you can bring would be Assassin Cross and High Priest. Assassin Cross' will be the main attacker while the High Priest will be supportive with buffs and Asperio. They can also be used to kill the wraiths with Magnus Exorcismus.
• When Drake reaches 30% HP, he will buff himself which will increase his flee. High hit is needed to hit him. It is wise to have around 900-1,100 hit if you aren't doing criticals.
• Drake can Break your Body Armor, so using an Unbreakable Body Armor is recommended.
• Water resistance is helpful to avoid taking massive damage from the Drake's Water Ball attack.
• You can solo this quest with any magic class, Professor, High Wizard, High Priest, Ninja and Magic Stalker as long as you are Water Immune
• When you go over 100% Water resistant, Water Ball will heal you so Water Resist Potion will also help you.
• When using Linked Professor make sure you have the Link on. Mind Breaker yourself (Shift + Left Click), have Auto Spell set to Fire Bolt and have Double Casting activated.
