After talking to everyone inroom, head south and exit the area.*Note: If you talk to the 'blonde chick' (heh the woman to the right), she'll revealanother task for you but this is a personal request from her.

Hunter's GuildLike Phantasy Star IV, there are certain jobs a Hunter can accept in order to gain more Mesetaor EXP. There are a couple of jobs available in the beginning of the game.(List of Jobs)Job: "Magnitude of Metal"Description: A valuable commodity on Ragol was lost?!Reward: 500 MesetaComments: After excepting the job talk to the guy who just appeared in the room. He'll briefyou on your task. After that, head outside of the Hunter's Guild building and you should seea cyborg/android. Talk to him and he'll reveal that one hunter is left behind in the Planetbelow. Head for the Teleport pad to go to Forest 1. Make your way through the dungeon whilecollecting any items in the area. You will eventually come upon a female Android who willjoin your party. This Android has a much higher level then you (Level 12 actually), her longweapon will help you in the battles to come. However, don't think for a moment to depend on hertoo much for she'll leave your party after you reclaim the MAG. Follow the rest path until youeventually find the MAG and then you'll be teleported back to the Guild to claim your measily500 Meseta.Job: "Claiming a Stake"Description: Find and bring back a greedy landlord!Reward: 700 MesetaComments: Racton's father has gone to claim land on Ragol. According to Racton, his father isroaming around somewhere on Ragol. After talking to him, talk to another Android in the room.This android speaks of how self-centered Racton's father is. Next, head for the teleporter andmake sure you have stocked up on Monomates before you return to Ragol. You'll find Racton'sfather in a couple of screens north from your starting point. After finding him, agrees to gowith you back to the Pioneer 2 if you find the three capsules on the prime land locations.Of course you can't refuse him so return to this point once you have gathered all threecapsules. The first two capsules are pretty straightforward to find so I won't got into detailas of where they are. The third and final capsules however will only appear once you have foundthe first two. It's located in the same area as the Pioneer 2 teleporter. After acquiring allthree capsules, head back to where Racton's father is and enter the portal. This portal willtake you directly to the middle of the city on Pioneer 2.Job: "Battle Training"Description: Find a hunter who is working down on Ragol.Reward: 500 MesetaComments: Zidd speaks of a young hunter named Ash who was to do some research on Ragol.Apparently Ash is supposed to be done with his task but unforunately hasn't returned yet.Your task is to go to Ragol and find Ash and rescue him. Of course this isn't going to bea solo mission so you're teamed up with a HUcast named Zireek (Level 36). Talk to Kireek thengo and talk to Zidd. Zidd goes into detail saying that the reason he needs two hunters is thatone hunter must retrieve the data disk Ash was supposed to get and the other is to protect Ashand bring him back in case he is injured. After, buy any supplies you need and then headtowards the teleporter. The maze is pretty straightforward, it's practically the same areain the last mission. When you finally find Ash, you see that he's wounded. Head towards themiddle of the area and get the Data Disk but no sooner you take it the enemy ambushes you. Ofcourse they don't stand a chance with Kireek on your party. After, talk to Ash then talk toZireek. From that point, he'll leave your party. Now head back to the Pioneer 2 on the circlelight in the area. You'll be teleported back to the Pioneer 2 and then head for the Guild toclaim your reward.*Note the next list of jobs will appear only when you complete the first three. Before goingon, I recommend you explore some more of Ragol's Forest 2 area as the following may take placethere. You might also consider buying stronger weapons like Saber +1. You should also by nowhave Barta and Foi techs enabled (if you can use techs that is).Job: "Journalistic Pursuit"Description: A journalist went to go down to Ragol.Reward: 1200 MesetaComments: Nol Rinale, a journalist wants to visit Ragol (wow what a hot chick =D!!!). Sheapparenty is a news reporter for the Pioneer 2. Your job is to take her down to Ragol andprotect her while going through Ragol. First, she wants to go check out Central Dome so that'sgoing to be your first destination. Her level is quite low too (Level 5). Head for theteleporter. Make your way through Forest 1 of Ragol then onto Forest 2. In this area you'llencounter a horde of monsters. Stay close to Nol and fight your way through. You'll eventuallycome upon a computer but the bridge is lowered. Find the switch to activiate the bridge andaccess the computer. After that, Nol says the mission is over so enter the portal back to thePioneer 2 and claim your reward. By now you should have a lot of Meseta and your level shouldbe around 7 or so. Upgrade your equipment as needed. Dim Saber +3 would be a good choice ifyou're a HUmar. Also armor such as Psy Armor or the Core Shield would do you good.Job: "The Fake in the Yellow"Description: What is the biologist on Ragol doing?Reward: 800 MesetaComments: Dr. Guis, a biologist is missing. He was last seen on Ragol, find him. After talkingto the assistant, speak with the two other people in the room. Before you head for theteleporter, speak anyone on the street that you may have not seen before. You'll find one ofyour old acquintances near the Teleport Pad to the Principal's Office. Also speak the otherperson beside her. Head for the teleporter to Ragol's Forest 1 area. Upon teleporting, you'llinteract with one of the local monsters (Rag Rappy) there. Make your way through the areaand eventually you'll find the same Rappy again among with his other friends. You'll finallydiscover the Rag Rappy you've been chasing with in fact Dr. Guis in disguise. After talkingwith him enter the circle of light and return to the Guild.*Note: You can buy an Ice Handgun at the Arms Shop if you can equip it.Job: "Native Research"Description: Collect data on the native animals.Reward: 2500 MesetaComments: Alicia Baz, an assistant at a laboratory needs biological data on Ragol's nativeanimals. Your job is to collect the data of five different animals (by defeating them ofcourse with the specified weapon). She also tells you that the storage system only works for20 minutes. The first biological sample is in Forest 1 and the others are in Forest 2. Whilein these areas, ignore the treasure chests as time is of the essence. When you're done, headback to the Guild. After completing this job another job entitled, "Forest of Sorrow" willappear. Think of this as a continuation from this job.Job: "Forest of Sorrow"Description: The data from the capsules is unusual...Reward: 1500 MesetaComments: Once again you are greeted by Alicia Baz. She wants you to go to Ragol with her. Shejoins your party as a Force. Her stats as pretty good (Level 10). Head for the teleporter. Theplace Alicia wants to go is Central Dome --- the very same area Nol found the Computer. Aliciaalso mentions about the transport that takes you directly to the Dome (apparently the one she'sreferring to is the teleport pad to Forest 2). You'll also encounter a young animal, so talk toit and then it'll disappear. As you venture forth, Alicia will mention about the data youcollect being accurate and in fact it seems the DNA was altered in the monsters (hmmm cananyone say PS4 all over again?). After endless battles, you'll eventually find the creatureand this time Alicia asks you to go back to the Guild so she can research on why the animalsturned out this way.Job: "Gran Squall"Description: Gran Squall, a pleasure boat departed before the explosion. Find the survivors.Reward: 1000 MesetaComments: Apparently the Gran Squall departed before the explosion incident so the ship ismost likely marooned on Ragol. You may encounter other Hunters there but you are told notto interact with them as rumors may spread. Stock up on any supplies you may need and headfor the teleporter. Well, I tried to get by not to talk to any of the other Hunters but thenyou can't seem to progress forward so you might as well enlist some other hunters to join you.Bernie (Level 16) is one of the hunters close to your starting point. Talk to him and choose'yes'. He'll join your party. Now proceed to the Pink Door that was damaged before. Bernie willthen fix the door so you can go through. As you fight on, Bernie reveals his thoughts on thejob:"The true meaning of this quest is different from what it appears. The Gran Squall crashed onRagol. That's true. But it's not a pleasure boat. The Gran Squall's a secret military ship. Idon't know what its purpose was. Anyway, it crashed on Ragol. I confirmed it with my sourcewho's working on another quest with me. My source says there must be a survivor. My true questis camouflaged by the travel agency's quest."Continue through the area collecting any items that you find. Later, Bernie will tell you tohead for the Forest 2 teleport pad. Get on it and continue through the area. After awhile,Bernie will reveal to you that he's looking for a lady that has a data chip implanted insideof her. If you're close enough you'll be able to detect her with the device Bernie gives you.Soon you'll find another teleport pad and Bernie will say that the signal is coming from there.Step onto the pad and continue onward. You'll finally find the girl you're looking for andBernie tells you to go back to the Guild. Step on the circle of light and head toward theGuild.(Now that you've completed all the jobs so far, head back to the same area where you found thegirl and explore a bit. Make sure you examine everything there, especially the huge teleportpad that asks who to join your party.)*Boss Battle: Dragon (Fire Based)*Strategy: Not much, just make sure you have Barta magic on your shortcut. One shot of that willfreeze the baddie and he'll go bye bye. Collect the chests and then teleport out.Now head to the Principal's Office and report to him on the current situation. There's sometalk about the motives of the monsters on Ragol that they were probably protecting theirterritory from the suriviors of Pioneer 1. Now head back to the Guild and couple new jobswill be available.As for areas on Ragol, Forest 1 and 2 will be replaced by Cave 1-3.*Note: These will appear once the Dragon has been defeated and after you've reported it tothe Principal.Job: "The Value of Money"Description: Gizel's wife wants her husband to stop wasting money. She complains that he'sbuying too many weapons.Reward: 300 MesetaComments: After talking to Gizel's wife, head to the Arms Shop where you'll find Gizel. Speakto him choose "No you don't understand" and "You're a fool..". Now head back to the Guild tospeak with his wife. Next head back and speak with Gizel again. And finally speak with Gizel'swife again to end the task.*Before continuing I recommend you explore Caves 1-3 on Ragol. It may be tedious but in thelong run, you'll be more prepared for what's ahead. Also make sure you have some type oflong-ranged weapon or technique to use as you will need it.Job: "Addicting Food"Description: Trekka was to eat something sweet...Reward: 1500 MesetaComments: Apparently 'sweets' are prohibited on Pioneer 2 (perish the thought!).
