- Job Name: The Wizard's Hideaway
Job Rank: D
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: Alishar Required
Job Overview: Amidst the eye of a magical sandstorm lies a lonely sandstone tower by an oasis. A magical seal blocks the front entrance, though presumably whatever sustains this desert storm lies within. The first step is to find entry to the tower, be it breaking down the front door or otherwise.
- Welcome to the Foyer:
- Job Name: Welcome to the Foyer
Job Rank: D
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: The Wizard's Hideaway
Job Overview: The inside of the tower is significantly larger than the outside would let on, and strangely dirt-free, for a sandy tower in the desert. Magically animated cleaning supplies maintain the cleanliness in perpetuity. Unfortunately for Alishar, he's still quite dirty from his adventure through the desert, and the automated cleaning service is not selective about what gets cleaned.
Enemy Name: Sentient Scrubber
Enemy Tier: D
Damage Required to Defeat: D
Description: A well-worn, floating scrub brush with bristles still coated in suds from an eternity of cleaning floors.
Abilities:- It Can Be Cleaner: Sentient Scrubber scrubs the already clean floors, leaving them soapy and slippery for a post.
- Scrub-a-Dub: Targets a body part to scrub until it's clean. Causes D-Rank abrasions, making the skin irritated and possibly scratched up.
Enemy Name: Moving Mop
Enemy Tier: D
Damage Required to Defeat: 2x D
Description: A soggy mop head on a sturdy wooden haft.
Abilities:- Whack: Maybe it was trying to mop their face, but it just delivers a satisfying wallop for D Rank wet-bashing damage.
- Clean Sweep: A low swipe that can trip somebody, and leaves slipperiness on the floor for a post.
- It Can Be Cleaner: Sentient Scrubber scrubs the already clean floors, leaving them soapy and slippery for a post.

Job Rank: D
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: Welcome to the Foyer
Job Overview: The stairs leading up higher into the tower from the foyer appear to be missing in favor of some sort of magical waterfall fountain feature. There must be a way to climb higher!
- Stair Guardian:
- Job Name: Stair Guardian
Job Rank: D
Job Location: Helio
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: Some Kind of Waterfall
Job Overview: After ascending past the waterfall, there stands in the way an animated suit of armor, polished to the point of frailty. Before any exploration can be done, it seems a midway bout is in order.
Enemy Name: Sir Clean - The Welcome Mat-ador
Enemy Tier: C
Damage Required to Defeat: 2x C
Description: A brilliantly clean suit of armor, animated by strange magics. However, perhaps it was scrubbed too much, as what should be hard as iron seems more like polished glass. In one hand, a straw broom; in the other, a mat he was shaking out.
Abilities:- Clean Sweep: Swiping with his broom with practiced grace, Sir Clean deletes dirt with two wallops back and forth, dealing D Rank damage with each hit. Disabled if the broom takes D Rank Damage.
- Toro Toro: Fluttering his welcome mat in a manner sure to make any beasts present quite upset, provoking them into an attack Sir Clean is quite prepared to counter. This is a parry that blocks up to C Tier Ability Damage.
- Go 'Way!: A devastating counterattack performed after Toro Toro gets a beast to attack, striking down with a mighty plunger, dealing C Rank plunging damage, and leaving it attached as a reminder of their folly.
- Drain Cleaner: Once a plunger is stuck to a target, Sir Clean grabs the handle and swings them until the plunger detaches sending them flying and crashing into stuff for C Rank Bashing Damage.
- Clean Sweep: Swiping with his broom with practiced grace, Sir Clean deletes dirt with two wallops back and forth, dealing D Rank damage with each hit. Disabled if the broom takes D Rank Damage.
- Finishing the Job:
- Job Name: Finishing the Job
Job Rank: D
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: Stair Guardian
Job Overview: The stairway beyond Sir Clean leads to an abandoned research facility, with many labeled doodads, and books after books in piles on tables. With his rudamentary-at-best knowledge of reading, Alishar might be able to make this place safer to explore. Or maybe he'll just break some stuff.
- Seeking the Sandstorm:
- Job Name: Seeking the Sandstorm
Job Rank: D
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 3000 Huang // 50 EXP
Job Prerequisites: Finishing the Job
Job Overview: What might hide behind the final door at the top? With the sandstorm still raging, Alishar must explore the tower until he finds the key to the master quarters.
- Snatch the Whirlwind:
- Job Name: Snatch the Whirlwind
Job Rank: C
Job Location: Heliohapt
Job Reward: 7000 Huang // 100 EXP
Chain Reward: Personal Desert Hideaway; Features Fixable By a Magician, probably
Job Prerequisites: Seeking the Sandstorm
Job Overview: At the very top of the tower, in the master's quarters, a magicked jewel stands upon a pedestal. At his approach a smaller sandstorm forms, releasing the skeletal remains of bandits lost to the storm. This last line of defense is all that separates Alishar from freedom... or at least a way back to the desert.
Enemy Name: Dead Bandits x5
Enemy Tier: D
Damage Required to Defeat: D
Description: Are these the souls of the lost or did the wizard actually collect their bones somehow? Either way, these unfortunate remains are equipped with scimitars, desert clothes, and a blatant disregard for human life.
Abilities:- Blade Wheel: No flesh means no dumb muscles getting in the way, allowing the Dead Bandits to spin their torso with swords outstretched like fanblades, delivering D Rank slashing damage in a short radius.
- Sandblast: Grabs some of the sandstorm and throws it, magically dehydrating anything it touches causing disorientation or blindness. Drinking water cursed either condition.
Enemy Name: Dead Bandit Captain
Enemy Tier: C
Damage Required to Defeat: 2x B
Description: Judging by the size of his turban, and the red glowing eyes, this is probably the boss of these bandits. Dual Scimitars are the least of Alishar's worries, although they sure are worrying.
Abilities:- Blade Wheel: Using two scimitars at once, his torso spins to slash twice for up to two D-tier cuts!
- Sand Storm: Dead Bandit Captain expands the sandstorm defending the crystal, causing a sustained but slow dehydration effect that causes disorientation, blindness, as well as C Rank damage over two rounds (two D Rank counts). By drinking water, the effects and damage can be reversed.
- Assimilate: After two Dead Bandits are downed, he takes their arms and blades attaching them haphazardly to himself, now brandishing four blades. Blade wheel now deals up to four counts of D Rank Slashing Damage. These arms are broken off if he takes C Rank Ability Damage.
- Coordinate: Coordinates an attack with the Dead Bandits delivering a C Rank cut, and additional D Rank cuts for every remaining Dead Bandit.
- Promotion: If Dead Bandit leader is downed before all the remaining Dead Bandits, a random Dead Bandit will become a Dead Bandit Captain, with all the same abilities as this one, with B Rank damage required to defeat. Additionally, they will automatically use Assimilate to equip the former captain's arms.
- Blade Wheel: No flesh means no dumb muscles getting in the way, allowing the Dead Bandits to spin their torso with swords outstretched like fanblades, delivering D Rank slashing damage in a short radius.
