I have been doing the Zakum party quest for a few weeks now. Typically, if you are level 50 to 60, this quest beats training on monsters if you get a good party of 6 going for a few hours at a time. Typical progress is from 20% per hour at the high end, down to about 8% per hour at the low end. The higher the level, the slower the progress. If you are above level 60, the only times you would want to do this is to get the Dead Mine scrolls to scroll into the Dead Mine I in El Nath. This will get you to the Forest of Dead Trees IV and the Zombies that are there that many people train on. This guide is NOT absolute! It is constantly evolving and I do update it from time to time when party members come up with a better suggestion than what I have written. If you find that your party has done better, let me know the results by emailing me at the address provided above. Now, on to the mission! ------------------------------------ IMPORTANT NOTE: As of the last MapleGlobal update, v0.35, the Zakum Party Quest is now limited to 3 quests per day for the party leader. This has been calculated as 3 per 24 MapleStory hours. Basically, they have given limits to how many times you can go in as party leader for every 24 hours. The clock, however, DOES reset at Midnight, 12:00 AM, PST (Pacific Standard Time) or, PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). I'm not sure why they stuck in this leader limit, and there are a lot of people who feel it's just a pain in the ass to have this limit. So if you are in a party of 6, 18 times is the maximum you can go in before someone has to quit and a new leader is chosen that hasn't been a leader in the past 24 hours. Rough Outline of Main Map Room as to where documents and keys are: |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| | | | | | |3-1 | 3-2 (2) |4-2 (mound) |5-1 |6-1 | | | | | | |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| | | | | | |2-1 |14-1 (chest) |15-1 |7-1 | 7-2 (2)-----| | | | | | | |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| | | | | | | | |1-1 | 1-2 |13-1 (2) | | 8-1 (2) | | | | | | | | |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| | | | | | | | |12-1 |11-1 (chest) |10-1| 10-2 (2)|9-1 | 9-2 (2) | | | | | | | | (chest) | | |--------------|--------------|---------|----|--------------| | | | |-----------------------| | |---------------------------------------------------| | | | | * Portal to Main Room | 16-4 | | | | |-------------------- |---------------| | | | | 16-3 (chest only) | | | | |---------------| |-------------------| | | | | | 16-5 (mound) | | 16-2 (chest only) | | | | | | | |-------------------| |---------------| | | | |--------------|---------------| | | | | | | 16-1 (empty) | 16-6 | | | | | |---------------------------------------------------| Map Legend: Unless indicated, all rooms have documents. (2) = 2 documents in that room, and (chest) means that there is a key in the room as well. Only excepts are 4-2 which has key and document in mounds only, and 16-5 which has a key in a mound and a document in a chest. Rooms 8-2 (not shown on map) and 16-1 are empty rooms. Rooms 7-2 and 10-2 will teleport you into the main chamber of 16 when you get to the end of each room and exit. You will need to collect all 7 keys and have one person in party drop them in front of the LARGE chest in 16-5. The chest will open and a fire ore will pop out of it. Collect the fire ore and exit out to the main room. Party leader then must collect ALL documents and fire ore (if necessary) from the other party members first before talking to Aura (NPC). If you succeed in collecting the fire ore (which is a must) and at least 30 documents (total possible to collect is 32), each person in the party will receive 20,000 EXPerience, 5 Return to Dead Mine scrolls and a Piece of Fire Ore when they exit through the portal. If your party consists of 2 or less in the party and time is an issue for you, concentrate on getting just the 7 keys (typical time to complete just this portion of the quest is between 8 to 12 minutes) and get the fire ore in 16-5 to bring back to Aura (NPC). Each person in the party will get 12,000 EXPerience and a Piece of Fire Ore when they exit through the portal. If you have a party of 2 or more going in, use the following assignment formulas to finish the quest within 7 to 18 minutes of starting it. Please note that where indicated as (2) - there are 2 documents in that room, and (chest) means there's a key to find additionally. Unless indicated all documents are in mounds/rocks, do not attack chests if it is not necessary to! Note: If the last document in 16-5 is not found, skip it if your party has followed the list and the other documents are already found. By the time you get to 16-5, there should be at least 30 to 31 documents found by party members, so if you teleport back out to the main room while trying to find it, it's not a document that is critically needed. Also, please follow the room assignments IN ORDER. This is due to the natural flow on how you progress from one area of the main map to another. Adjustments to this flow will be made periodically to ensure the fastest speed of finding quest items, so please check back for any updates! ------------------------------------ For 6 people, divide up the rooms as such: * Assignment #1 Rooms 12-1, 2-1. 3-1, 3-2 (2), 1-1, 1-2 = 7 documents * Assignment #2 Rooms 11-1 (document only), 13-1 (2), 14-1 (document only), 15-1, 8-1 (2) = 7 documents * Assignment #3 Rooms 11-1 (chest - key only), 14-1 (chest - key only), 4-2 (key and document in mounds), 5-1 = 2 documents + 3 keys * Assignment #4 Rooms 6-1, 7-1, 7-2 (2), 3 documents in main room = 7 documents * Assignment #5 Rooms 9-1, 9-2 (2) (chest), 10-1, 10-2 (2) = 6 documents + 1 key * Assignment #6 Rooms 16-3 (chest), 16-2 (chest), 16-4, 16-6, 16-5 (document in chest, key in mound - get key FIRST) = 3 documents + 3 keys Note: Documents in 6-1 and 16-5 are optional since if the quest is done correctly, you should have total of 30 documents. ------------------------------------ For 5 people, divide up the rooms as such: * Assignment #1 Rooms 12-1. 2-1. 3-1, 3-2 (2), 1-1, 1-2, 3 documents in main room = 10 documents * Assignment #2 Rooms 11-1 (chest), 14-1 (chest), 4-2 (key and document in mounds) = 3 documents + 3 keys * Assignment #3 Rooms 13-1 (2), 15-1, 7-1, 7-2 (2), 8-1 (2). 5-1, 6-1 = 10 documents * Assignment #4 Rooms 9-1, 9-2 (2) (chest), 10-1, 10-2 (2) = 6 documents + 1 key * Assignment #5 Rooms 16-3 (chest), 16-2 (chest), 16-4, 16-6, 16-5 (document in chest, key in mound - get key FIRST) = 3 documents + 3 keys Note: Documents in 6-1 and 16-5 are optional since if the quest is done correctly, you should have total of 30 documents. ------------------------------------ For 4 people, divide up the rooms as such: * Assignment #1 Rooms 12-1. 15-1, 7-1, 7-2 (2), 8-1 (2), 2-1. 3-1, 3-2 (2), 1-1, 1-2, 3 documents in main room = 16 documents * Assignment #2 Rooms 11-1 (chest), 13-1 (2), 14-1 (chest), 4-2 (key and document in mounds), 5-1, 6-1 = 7 documents + 3 keys * Assignment #3 Rooms 9-1, 9-2 (2) (chest), 10-1, 10-2 (2) = 6 documents + 1 key * Assignment #4 Rooms 16-3 (chest), 16-2 (chest), 16-4, 16-6, 16-5 (document in chest, key in mound - get key FIRST) = 3 documents + 3 keys Note: Documents in 6-1 and 16-5 are optional since if the quest is done correctly, you should have total of 30 documents. ------------------------------------ For 3 people, divide up the rooms as such: * Assignment #1 Rooms 12-1. 15-1, 7-1, 7-2 (2), 8-1 (2), 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 (2), 1-1, 1-2, main room (3 documents) = 16 documents * Assignment #2 Rooms 11-1 (chest), 13-1 (2), 14-1 (chest), 4-2 (key and document in mounds), 5-1 (teleported to here from 4-2), 6-1, then head to 16 = 7 documents + 3 keys * Assignment #3 Rooms 9-1, 9-2 (2) (chest), 10-1, 10-2 (2), 16-3 (chest), 16-2 (chest), 16-4, 16-6, 16-5 (document in chest, key in mound - get key FIRST) = 9 documents + 3 keys Note: Documents in 6-1 and 16-5 are optional since if the quest is done correctly, you should have total of 30 documents. ------------------------------------ For 2 people, divide up the rooms as such: (Note: this is still a work in progress, and is subject to change) * Assignment #1 Rooms 11-1 (chest), 13-1 (2), 14-1 (chest), 4-2 (key and document in mounds), 5-1 (teleported to here from 4-2), then head to 16 to drop off keys, back out to room 16 and get 16-4, 16-6, then back out to main, head to left side and get 12-1, 2-1, 3-2 (2), 1-1, 1-2 = 14 documents + 3 keys * Assignment #2 Rooms 9-1, 9-2 (2) (chest), 10-1, 10-2 (2), 16-3 (chest), 16-2 (chest), 16-5 (skip document in chest, key in mound - get key FIRST), then head back out to main room and get 15-1, 7-1, 7-2 (2), 8-1 (2), 3 documents in main room = 16 documents + 3 keys Note: Documents in 6-1 and 16-5 are optional since if the quest is done correctly, you should have total of 30 documents. ------------------------------------ PARTY LEADER: Have the people who get keys meet in main room of 16 at 16-5 entrance and have ONE party member collect all keys and documents from those party members. Then go into 16-5 with those same party members and have them look for the document in the chests. If they both teleport out, skip finding the document. Have remaining party members search main floor for the 3 documents out there. If you have your party organized, it should be fairly easy to finish the quest within 7 to 10 minutes. One last thing, if there is enough time, 3-2 and 10-2 has a ~10k meso bag in a chest. If your party leader says it's ok to go find them, go for it. If not, don't waste the time. DM scrolls are worth quite a bit of meso's in FM as it is. Good hunting!
