Edit: Since it's unusual, figured I'd make sure everyone's aware: Dailies reset at 8pm EST.
Priestess of Nui:
Upon hitting level 10, the Priestesses of Nui at the Respawn Bases (trackable as such on your map) begin offering dailies, one every five levels, until you reach level 30.
Each of these grants one Gilda Star.
- The Goddess of Nui[2] (Available from 10-15)
- Simply speak to the Priestess again after accepting the quest
- The Hereafter's Energy[3] (Available from 16-20)
- Purchase a Memory Ink from a General Merchant (10 silver) and bring it to any Priestess of Nui
- Gifts for the Goddess[4] (Available from 21-25)
- Use the emote "/flowers" on a Priestess of Nui
- A Lily Offering[5] (Available from 26-30)
- Bring a Lily to a Priestess of Nui. Lilies grow in the wild or can be planted. They're also purchasable on the auction house.
Blue Salt Brotherhood:
At level 31, these can be accessed in most major towns and cities (e.g. Marianople, Enza, docks in Cindermoore) and effectively replace the Priestess of Nui quests as they're no longer accessible.
Each of these grants one Gilda Star for a total of five.
- A Rare Perfume[6]
- Use 30 Crushed Flowers, Ground Grain, Crushed Spices, or Chopped Produce to create a perfume. These are obtained by growing or finding in the wild Flowers, Grain, Spices or Produce and "using" 10 of them in conjunction with a Blue Salt Knife (purchased from a General Merchant). Typically, you'll get 12-15 Crushed Flowers, Ground Grain, Crushed Spices, or Chopped Produce per 10 items. Visit your local Seed Merchant to see a list of all of the available options. The longer that it takes the plant to grow, the more you'll get from it. Alternatively, these can be purchased on the auction house.
- Available after completing A Rare Perfume
- Place a vase in 3 spots in Lilyut. You're given three vases to place in Lilyut. Just head to the designated spots (marked on your map as with other quests) and drop the respective vase there. You'll know you're in the right spot if you see a slew of vases sitting on the ground.
- Go to Gweonid Forest and raise the elk calf you're provided. This is identical to the initial mount quest you get around level 8. The stable is north of the airship dock and the nearest portal is the Temporary Scarecrow Garden, Gweonid Forest.
- Go to Solzreed and raise the foal you're provided. Same as above. The Stable is in Wardton.
- Tip: While you're waiting, gather a lot of water from the well, purchase several Vita Seeds from the Stablehand and plant them for future use. Every couple steps you have to wait 30 seconds, so it's a good time to stock up on supplies.
- Collect 8 barrels of gunpowder near Roadsend in Dewstone. There are two spots that these spawn, but they respawn very quickly and there are plenty of them. The first is towards the bandits just to the north of Roadsend. The second is to the South-westish, along the rocks bordering Roadsend near the road.
Farmer's Workstation:
These dailies are obtained by crafting a quest giving item at a Farmer's Workstation under the "Quest" category. Each requires 5 raw chicken/duck/goose meat gathered from pens crafted with husbandry which require 10, 20 and 30k proficiency, respectively. The meat, as well as the other materials (15 Ginseng, 25 Garlic, 50 Rice), can be found on the auction house. After crafting the item, you simply turn it in to the nearest auctioneer.
The Farmer's Workstation itself is crafted using your Small Scarecrow Design, 30 Lumber, and Viscous Glossy Oil. It must then be placed on your property to be used.
Each of these grants one Gilda Star for a total of three.
- Hearty Meal[11] (Chicken), Premium Hearty Meal[12] (Duck), and Rare Hearty Meal[13] (Goose)
Menteeing/Mentoring:
Outside of Sharpwind Mines and the Burnt Castle, Lucius the bird will offer you a daily based on your level. If you are within the dungeon's target level, you will receive the Mentee quest which asks you to kill the final boss and loot a chest with a mentor. If you exceed the target level then you will receive the Mentor quest which asks you to kill the final boss and loot a chest with a mentee.
Mentee quests grant one Gilda Star each.
Mentor quests grant three Gilda Stars each.
- Sharpwind Mines
- Mentee[14] : 19-29
- Mentor[15] : 30+
- Burnt Castle Armory
- Mentee[16] : 30-39
- Mentor[17] : 40+
Trade Runs:
These are not dailies and are repeatable ad infinitum. Simply bring a Trade Pack across the pond to Haranya or to Freedich Isle in the middle of the ocean.
- Solis Headlands: One Gilda Star
- Villanelle: One Gilda Star
- Ynystere: Two Gilda Stars
- Freedich Isle: Four Gilda Stars
Editting to correct information. Only one Priestess quest available per day based on level range and ends at level 30 rather than level 29.
Additional information:
So this guide works fine for Hyranya too. Only main differences are:
Gurellia Marketing : Different Location (Tigerspine Mountains)
Raising Elk --> Raising Snowlion cub (Falcorth Plains)
Raising Horse --> Raising Leomorph (Arcum Iris)
Roadsend in Danger --> I don't remember the quest name, but it has you going to the first dungeon (Palace Cellar) and collecting leashes outside
Our first dungeon is Palace Cellar (Mahadevi) and Hadir Farm (Ynystere)
We also seem to have another quest that involves building a catapult in Ynystere, however I couldn't tell you much more on that.
Q: Can you get all 4 of the Priestess dailies every day?
A: Just 1 per day
Q: Is there a level cap on doing the Sharpwind Mines mentor quests?
A: Nope, I'm currently doing them at level 50.
Q: After level 30 can you still get the Priestess of Nui quests?
A: No, they are replaced by Blue Salt quests.
Q: So to get Gilda Stars from a trade pack turn in you have to cross the ocean?
A: Yes, you have to go to another continent.
Q: Can you elaborate on the trade packs?
A: You craft regional specialty goods at a regional specialty crafting station using the required materials and a quality certificate (from a general merchant). You then have to travel to another zone (the further you go to greater your rewards) to get coin, valuable crafting materials, or (if you cross the ocean) gilda stars. The trade pack you craft will go into your glider slot and you can no longer use teleportation of any kind. Be careful, if you are killed by another player you will drop your back, when they turn it in they get 20% of the rewards.
Q: What kind of valuable crafting materials do you get?
A: They are called stabilizers. Stabilizers are essential for crafting and gate it almost as much as Archeum. You can get Charcoal Stabilizers in Solis Headlands (~11), Rock Salt Stabilizers in Villanelle (~8), Crystal Stabilizers (~3), and Dragon Essence Stabilizers in Freedich Isle.
Bonus super secret squirrel tip (don't tell anyone else): Turning in a pack for Stabilizers and then selling them on the AH typically yields more overall gold than turning in a pack for gold domestically.
Q: Does your level matter for trade pack rewards?
A: No, but it may be safer if you are a higher level.
Q: Where do I spend my Gilda Stars?
A: Mirage Island
Q: What can I buy with Gilda Stars?
A: Houses, farms, boats, + more.
Q: How many Gilda Stars do things cost?
A: Here's an incomplete list to give you an idea:
- Underwater Farm x 20
- Farmhouse x 50
- Medium house 1-story x 100
- Medium house 1½-story x 150
- Large house 1-story x 300
- Large house 2-story x 500
- Breezy bungalow x 300
- Mansion x 1000
- Archeum Tree x 3
- Sled cow x 2
- Farm wagon x 50
- Wheeled Mortar x 300
- Apex Squall x 800
- Clipper x 50
- Merchant ship x 400
- Fish-fing longliner x 250
- Lutesong junk x 250
- Eznan Cutter x 250
Q: Should I save up my Gilda Stars or buy things now?
A: Don't buy anything under 50 Gilda Stars on your main, save up for bigger purchases. You can run through the story quests and earn 50 Gilda Stars on an alt in a couple of hours, so there's no point.
Q: Is there any other way to get these Gilda Star items?
A: Yep, people purchase the plans with Gilda Stars and can then do whatever they please with them, like put them on the auction house, so check there. Lots of items are going for 20-40 gold presently (this will rise with time) so you can save some Gilda Stars if you have the extra gold.
