The 9 quest steps

1. 1Obtain the Rain Eye blessing

   Items[20,-20] · Anonymous Akwaholic

   In the Osakwa tavern, talk to the anonymous Akwalic, a Pandawa who drinks water instead of alcohol. His magic formula cancels the spell hiding the rain jars: you receive the Rain Eye blessing, which makes them visible in Akwadala.

   Starting a fight makes you lose the blessing: you then have to go back to get it again.

   Items[25,-23]

   Click the rope to go down into the crevasse. In the Airgil breath cavern, click the big fumarole: the Breath of Airgil blessing, valid for 4 fights, lets you see the dead Tanukis who carry on their life's work. On the beta, no Climbing Rope was needed: if you can't go down, bring one with you.

4. 4Collect 4 Selenite Stone

   Combat

   Talk to each Tanuki who Died from Exhaustion to start a solo fight. Each fight can drop 1 Selenite Stone, with a base rate of 25%. The stones are tradable: you can also buy them at the auction house, or do the fights with another character.

   • [25,-22] enter the mine: on the first map, 1 Tanuki who Died from Exhaustion and 1 Tanuki who Died on the Job

   Dialogue

   1. “Approach”

   The blessing only lasts 4 fights, and a lost fight must be redone. If you're missing stones, take the Breath of Airgil again and wait about 1 hour to see the Tanuki groups again.

7. 7Drink the Elixir on Nolifis

   [27,-27]

   Take the boat to Nolifis, then use the Ferrier's Elixir. The “I See Dead People” blessing, valid for 44 fights, makes the Route of the Dead visible.

   The elixir is also used in the quest To the Last Sigh. Wait until you're at the right step of that quest before drinking it, so you don't have to craft it twice.

8. 8Talk to the Route of the Dead

   Dialogue[37,-46] · Route of the Dead

   Follow the road of the dead to [37,-46]. Ghost Yokai are disrupting the path of the departed: the Route of the Dead asks you to reduce the number of spirits to ease the flow of souls.

   1. “Follow the suggestion of the Externam authorities and fight Yokai”

9. 9Defeat the Yokai of Mount Tombs

   Combat

   Defeat 16 monsters of each type in the Mount Tombs area: 16 Bakazako, 16 Kaonashi, 16 Madura and 16 Tsume-Bozu. Once they are all defeated, the quest ends automatically.

   It's unknown whether the end of the blessing, after 44 fights, has any effect: 44 fights are more than enough to defeat everything.

How do you start the Road Safety quest?

By drinking the Ferrier's Elixir on Nolifis Island, then following the road of the dead to the Route of the Dead in [37,-46]. Without the elixir, the quest doesn't appear.

What is the recipe for the Ferrier's Elixir?

Six ingredients, crafted by an alchemist of level 140 or higher: 1 One for the Road, 4 Selenite Stone, 2 Malt, 4 Samurai Ghost Fabric, 5 Pandala Rain and 12 Ginseng.

Where do you find Pandala Rain?

In 5 Rain Jars of Akwadala, in [22,-19], [20,-21], [18,-23], [21,-24] and [19,-26]. You first need the Rain Eye blessing from the anonymous Akwalic, in the Osakwa tavern in [20,-20].

With Namabiru, on Nolifis Island in [36,-43], for 2,000 kamas. The boat to Nolifis is in [27,-27].

Should you drink the elixir right away?

Better to wait. It's also used in To the Last Sigh: drink it when you're at the right step of that quest, so you only craft one.

2,355,864 XP, 32,280 kamas and 2 Rockai.
