Everything is quite simple and I’ll try to explain the roles and the responsibilities that come with those roles as best as I can.

The Guardian:

The Role of Being a Guardian:

The purpose of being a Guardian is fairly simple. Guardians are put in the game Last Chaos so that they can share their knowledge of the game to new players, or Apprentices, who are just starting out. New players to the game don’t really know much about Last Chaos or where to start the new experience, and so are boggled down with questions, not sure who to ask. Often times, you will find someone new to the game standing in the middle of town, unsure where to go or what to do, asking for help to anyone who will listen. This is where the Guardian comes in! A Guardian’s job is to answer any questions this new player may have and possibly help the new character level.

Also, if he’s giving, the Guardian may want to give the Apprentice a starter pack of items the Apprentice can use to better help level his character. This starter pack may be a better weapon than the new character has already or maybe new armor. Note: giving the Apprentice new stuff is not required of a Guardian, though it may be useful.

What is required of the Guardian is to strive to help the new player as best as he can, answer any questions the person may have, and of course the optional helping the new person level. A great chance to make a friend or two.

How to Become a Guardian:

Interested in helping the community of Last Chaos by offering your help as a Guardian? Great! As long as you have the qualities of patience, understanding, and care, while also knowing a good bit about the game Last Chaos and how to play, you can become a Guardian! …provided that you’re above level 20.

To become a Guardian (follow the pictures), go to the status icon located on the top left side of the in-game Last Chaos screen:

Once the pop up window appears, click on the 3rd tab. This is the Action Tab.

Scroll down until you see the “Guardian System” icon. On the icon should be a picture of two guys, one taller one with his hand on the shorter guy’s shoulder.

Click on this and then the game will give you a short summary of what a Guardian does, finally asking you if you really wish to take part as a Guardian. Click confirm at any time.

Congratulations! You are now a Guardian!

Recruiting New Players as Your Apprentices:

Ok… so now you’ve managed to make yourself a guardian. What do you do now? Find Apprentices silly! Last Chaos is filled with new members just trying out the game for the first time or old members who decided, out of the blue, to make a second character. To recruit people as your apprentice, you can advertise or stand outside Juno looking for people who are fighting wolves or panthers. Once spotting a few, ask them if they need your help with leveling or have any unasked questions you can answer. Then explain your role as a guardian and how to make you their guardian. Finally, enjoy the company of your new apprentices if they oblige. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, new players will come to you. And sometimes you can find people confused with the game in the Juno town asking for help. This is your perfect opportunity!

The Ultimate Goal of a Guardian:

The ultimate goal of a Guardian is to get the Apprentice to level 20 in 10 days. Yes, I know what you’re probably thinking, “:shock:Level 20 in only 10 days?!?!?! IMPOSSIBLE!!” Well, not really. If you’re a dedicated Guardian and aid your apprentice along the way, getting him to level 20 in 10 days isn’t as hard as it seems, not including the occasional downsides of your apprentice being afk or not on the game at all 90% of the time… though this isn’t the case for all apprentices. The trick to getting your apprentice to level 20 in 10 days? Well, it all lies with how much you are able to help your apprentice. Answering questions the apprentice may have so that he isn’t wasting time standing around unsure of what do is a good way to start. Also, an importing key factor to successfully making your apprentice level 20 within the 10 day limit is to offer your help to him! Don’t wait for him to go to you. Offer to party with him in hopes that he will gain a level or two with your aid. Remember -> you’re a lot higher than the apprentice is so therefore, you can kill a lot of mobs faster than he can. This can play a great role in getting the apprentice up a few levels faster.

However, this key factor was brought to my attention: partying an Apprentice yourself may not be a good idea because

1) the poor Apprentice may die due to mobs being way above his level and

2) you’ll be several levels higher than the Apprentice so the Apprentice may get a bit less exp than he would if he was partying with people around his level.

Also a good point to take note of is that lower level players level faster than higher ones, so don’t feel overwhelmed just because your apprentice may be 15 levels from getting to level 20. He will decrease the gap quickly.

Another key factor is a positive attitude. Like in the real world, if you don’t seem like you like what you do, others won’t like it either. Just some advice to consider

Rewards for Your Guardian Service:

Each time the apprentice gets to level 20 in 10 days, you will receive 10 reputation points. These points can later be used to get certain items by going to the merchant Geres and exchanging your points with a prize. If you get 100 reputation points, for example, you get an extreme stone which is very valuable.

Also, being a Guardian is a great chance to get to know more people in Last Chaos and make more friends. If you fail to get the apprentice to level 20 in 10 days however, this failure gets added onto your Guardian record, which can be viewed by any new players browsing down the list of Guardians in the Guardian System.

Downsides to Guardians:

There are many factors that can make the job of a Guardian quite difficult. One is when your Apprentice all of a sudden stops logging onto the game or is on the game but is always afk (away from the keyboard, idol in other words). This cannot be helped. All you can do is try to find even more Apprentices who will make your Guardian job a success.

Factors That Make a Good Guardian:

As I said earlier, your eagerness to help your Apprentice plays a major role. Other things that can help is maybe equal partying with your Apprentice to help him level (though there are downsides to equal partying. See above) and maybe buying a better weapon for your Apprentice or better armor. These two things are not REQUIRED however, so you don’t have to do them. But lower level armor and weapons are easy to afford for a higher level player and can be easily bought from the npc, while your Apprentice may not have enough extra cash to buy them. Also what may help is you could probably add to your Apprentices stats by +sing the armor or weapon by using those upgrading stones. But if you can’t afford the extra cost of buying or upgrading your Apprentice’s armor and/or weapons, you 100% don’t have to. It’s only an option you can make use of.

Requirements to Be a Guardian:

To be a Guardian, you must be over level 20 (level 20 and above) and have a good amount of knowledge of Last Chaos. In other words, you must know what you’re doing.

This is the end of the section on how to be a Guardian. Good luck!

The Apprentice:

The Role of the Apprentice:

Need help? Don’t know where to start your adventure in Last Chaos? Basically, Apprentices are new players who need help with the game Last Chaos and want someone to aid him/her with leveling. If you’re new to the game, don’t be afraid to ask around town for a Guardian. Someone will, more often than not, offer their help to you.

How to Become an Apprentice:

Don’t know how to take part in this great opportunity of advice and aid? Here’s how you get started (follow the pictures):

Go to the status icon located on the top left side of the in-game Last Chaos screen:

Once the pop up window appears, click on the 3rd tab. This is the Action Tab.

Scroll down until you see the “Guardian System” icon. On the icon should be a picture of two guys, one taller one with his hand on the shorter guy’s shoulder.

Click on this. Now you can look at all the names of Guardians and choose from the never-ending list. Pick your guardian and a pop up box will appear. Click confirm. You now have a Guardian!! Warning -> You can only have 1 Guardian per character, even though as a Guardian you can have more than one Apprentice.

What NEVER to Do As an Apprentice:

Here’s a few pointers on what to avoid as you seek help from your Guardian:

Never beg for money or any other items. This only annoys your Guardian and makes him less want to help you. If your Guardian offers to buy you a few items or gives you some cash, that’s fine. But wait for this to happen, don’t ask for items or cash yourself. This only makes you appear greedy, and in turn, annoys you’re your Guardian to the point of frustration. If your guardian doesn’t offer to buy you anything or give you cash, don’t press the matter. It’s fine to ask for help, this is an entirely different matter. For example, you may not know where Lorraine is or how to hatch your baby drake from the drake egg. By all means, ask away. This is what your Guardian WANTS you to do. But begging for cash or items is a big no no.

Rewards for Dedicated Apprentices:

So far so good? Great! There’s one other thing that I left out… You can get a special event weapon if you get to level 20 in 10 days! *gasp* The weapon successful Apprentices get is really unique. It can’t be bought from any npcs, nor can be dropped while grinding mobs. It also has a good attack, so you should definitely strive to get to level 20! The faster the better. If you don’t get to level 20 in time by the 10 day limit (the 10 days count while you are out of the game too. It’s not just in-game), you don’t get this special event weapon reward. Feel free to ask your Guardian for help with leveling or find people to party with around the mobs you’re fighting. This will make you level faster, especially if the people you’re partying with is around your level, even though you get less exp than you would get if you fought the mobs by yourself. In a party, there are more people fighting mobs with you so you get exp at a much faster rate than if you were by yourself. Also, company makes things more fun!

Downsides to Apprentices:

There aren’t any!!!

Requirements to Become an Apprentice:

To be an Apprentice, you must be level 10 or lower to apply.
