Blind Luck [Solo | Celestial Arms Part II]
The Stone Blob [Solo | Celestial Arms Part III]
Farewell, Sir Crab! [Solo | Celestial Arms Part V/VI]

All stages posted in semi-chronological order.

Having carefully evaluated the questline, I noted that one did not need to defeat Brachyura, so I did not do so. Should this be inappropriate, please amend the questline and post a notice here so I know I screwed up.

For a tl;dr version of what I did, I simply ran away with Call of Home after distracting Brachyura, as the questline only stated that you need to 'defend yourself accordingly'. I defended my life by escaping. That is all.

Not sure if I should post this: I completed a part but not the entire chapter. I was also naughty and claimed my AP for posts before learning I was to wait (sorry!)

But for history's sake:

As you wait for Chapter 3, here are the rewards for Chapter 2 of the Celestial Arms storyline. Chapter 1 Early Completion bonuses found here.



Everyone who started at least the first part of Celestial Arms 2-1 before 10/31/15 11:59 PM PST may add the following item to their profile. Please reply to your profile and link to this page (as well as a valid CA post or your storyline claim post) for record keeping:

Torn Dossier: Lv30 grimoire. A faded black diary bound by a red ribbon and a clasp. The pages in this book start out written by somebody with ordinary handwriting but as the days pass on, the handwriting becomes increasingly neat - to the point where its intricacy is almost maddening to read. Once per thread, reading from its pages summons forth hornet silhouettes as dark as shadow to attack nearby enemies for 10 seconds. This item cannot be traded or reforged.


Page 1: It is but only the first day and yet I already miss my family dearly. But I know that if our plan were to succeed, I will be able to meet with them again.

Page 7: The Sage spoke of the Pebble of Philosophy, a stone that we can use to gain enough power to save the city. It will be a difficult trial, but from my experiences as Topaz Champion, I'm confident in my ability.

Page 9: I touched the pebble for the first time today and felt a horrible headache as though my head were to split apart. But this is nothing. I must persevere!

Page 10: It has been a few days and I've been in bed with a constant fever. Could this be the power of the Pebble?

Page 16: It is time. I opened a hole in the dimension and entered my beloved city, only to see it being inhabited by wretched demons. With my sword, I strike them down; those who atoned their sins were banished to the Celestial Realm, where they may someday receive purification. But the city... it has become so impure. I fear that I may need some time to gather my strength to see it through.

Page 19: There is but no more redemption. All must be purified.

(several pages are torn away from the remainder of the diary)

Everyone who completed the Second Dossier before 10/31/15 11:59 PM PST (Hirosame @shadowsaiph Capsule Icyferno Laelia Sark Fletcher Saber) may add the following item to their profile.

Empathion of Integrity: Lv1 accessory. A gemstone resembling a red sardonyx stone. The power latent within this stone whispers into your mind much like the haunting voice of the Genius Praesepe. Once per thread, the user may use this item to summon the avatar of Praesepe to perform the skill "Hivemind" followed by "Sky Dive" before promptly disappearing. A successful hit inflicts poison onto enemies not resistant to the status effect. The strength of this attack is scaled accordingly to the user's Main Class level. This item cannot be traded or reforged.

Chapter 2 Completion Reward:

- Anyone who completes Chapter 2 as an Adventurer or non-Lune Person of the Land may now RP in the Lune Seaport.
- Anyone who completes Chapter 2 as a Lune Person of the Land may now RP in the Unfounded Kingdom and conduct in other actions such as joining guilds or events.

* Due to the inability for a Lune Person of the Land to complete Chapter 1, completing Chapter 2 as a Lune Person of the Land will award the character a Pebble of Philosophy as shown above.
