A New Heart, A Fresh Start is Cassandra's graduation-season perfume event. There are three versions of the quest, one for each level band, and you can only be offered the one that matches your level. The big trap is that you take the quest from Cassandra but hand it in to somebody else, in a different town.
The three versions
| Quest | Your level | Bring | Hand in to | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A New Heart, A Fresh Start | 8 to 29 | 10 Squishy Liquid, 5 Empty Bottle of Perfume | Wing the Fairy, Ellinia | 1,200 EXP, 1 Lotus Perfume |
| A New Heart, A Fresh Start! | 30 to 69 | 5 Chrysanthemum, 7 Empty Bottle of Perfume | Grandma Yeon, Korean Folk Town | 55,000 EXP, 2 Oriental Perfume |
| A New Heart, A Fresh Start!! | 70 and up | 5 Birk's Chewed Grass, 10 Empty Bottle of Perfume | Pam, Pam's House, Leafre | 300,000 EXP, 3 Chrysanthemum Perfume |
Each version asks for a different kind of Empty Bottle of Perfume, so bottles from one tier do not carry over to the next.
Step by step
- Talk to Cassandra and accept the quest for your band. You can only see the version that fits your level.
- Gather the items (see below). The empty bottles and the Chrysanthemum drop from any monster while the quest is open, at 4% per kill each (5% per kill for the 10 bottles of the top tier). See Event Quest Item Drops.
- Travel to the hand-in NPC named in the table and talk to them. Cassandra will not take the items.
- Collect the perfumes and the EXP.
The other items
- Squishy Liquid is an ordinary Slime drop (level 6).
- Chrysanthemum also grows near Korean Folk Town according to its description, but the sure source is the event drop described above.
- Birk's Chewed Grass drops from Birk every time: the level 24 Birk in Eastern Versal Forest, or the level 85 Birk in Valley of the Antelope, Forest : Crossroad and Entrance to Sky Nest (all in Leafre).
The rest of the Fresh Start line
Cassandra's other perfume-season quests are offered in a fixed order. Finishing one opens the next, so a quest "missing" from her menu is usually waiting on the one before it:
- A New Heart, A Fresh Start (8 to 29)
- Making Pure Perfume 1 (10 to 25): bring 30 Pure Small Sprout, get a Pure Perfume
- Making Pure Perfume 2 (level 26 and up)
- A New Heart, A Fresh Start! (30 to 69)
- To Fool a Liar (31 to 70): repeats every 60 minutes; ends at Star Pixie in Cloud Park I
- Making Pure Perfume 3 (level 51 and up)
- A New Heart, A Fresh Start!! (70 and up)
- To Fool a Liar (71 and up): ends at Hengki in Cranky Forest
- Making Pure Perfume 4 (level 81 and up)
A step that you are too high-level to start is skipped once the step before it is done. A step you have open still blocks the next. See event quest order.
Common problems
- "Cassandra does not take the bottles."
- Right: she only starts the quest. Hand in to Wing the Fairy, Grandma Yeon or Pam.
- "The Empty Bottle of Perfume never drops."
- Fixed for all three tiers. Accept the quest first, then kill any monster.
- "Only one version is offered."
- By design. Your level decides the version.
