John and Shumi Jump Quests Quest Guide

John's flower baskets (Lith Harbor) and Shumi's lost money (Kerning City) are two quest chains whose items are only found at the top of a jump quest. Players asked why the climb pays so little EXP and where the entrances are.

John's flower baskets (Sleepywood)

Items come from the Deep Forest of Patience, entered through the Mysterious Statue in Sleepywood. The statue offers one zone for each of John's quests you are on.

Quest (from John, Lith Harbor) Level Bring Reward
John's Pink Flower Basket 15 10 Pink Viola 2,350 EXP, 30 Screw
John's Present 30 20 Blue Viola 64,000 EXP and a pair of gloves for your job
John's Last Present 60 30 White Viola 500,000 EXP, Pink-Flowered Earrings

Climb to the flower pile at the top. While the quest is active and you hold fewer violas than it needs, the pile hands over all of them at once (10, 20 or 30). Otherwise it gives one random ore prize. Either way you are then taken back to Sleepywood. The statue keeps offering a zone after you finish its quest, so you can climb again for more prizes.

Pile Where Ore prize (one of, equal chance)
Pink flowers The Deep Forest of Patience Step 2 3 Bronze Ore, Steel Ore, Mithril Ore, Adamantium Ore, Silver Ore or Orihalcon Ore
Blue flowers The Deep Forest of Patience Step 4 4 Garnet Ore, AquaMarine Ore or Topaz Ore
White flowers The Deep Forest of Patience Step 7 4 Gold Ore, Lidium Ore or Diamond Ore
i
John's Pink Flower Basket is a level 15 quest, so its EXP is small even though the climb takes a while. The later two pay far more.

Shumi's lost money (Kerning City)

These three need a ticket from Jake (1,000 Vesos each) at the Subway Ticketing Booth, handed to the Ticket Gate. Each ticket opens one Construction Site: B1 for the first quest, B2 for the second, B3 for the third. At the end of each site, in the Subway Depot, a Treasure Chest gives the quest item while that quest is active, and otherwise one random ore. Then it sends you back to the Subway Ticketing Booth. The ticket is used up at the gate, so every climb needs a new one.

Quest (from Shumi) Level Bring Reward
Shumi's Lost Coin 20 Shumi's Coin (B1 chest) 6,500 EXP, 1 fame, 30 return scrolls
Shumi's Lost Bundle of Money 30 Shumi's Roll of Cash (B2 chest) 64,000 EXP, 1 fame, 100 Mana Elixir
Shumi's Lost Sack of Money 40 Shumi's Sack of Cash (B3 chest) 110,000 EXP, 1 fame, 30 Elixir, a Scroll for Shoes for Speed
Chest Ore prize when no quest item is owed (one of, equal chance)
B1 Subway Depot 1 Garnet Ore, Amethyst Ore, AquaMarine Ore, Emerald Ore or Opal Ore (20% each)
B2 Subway Depot 1 Sapphire Ore, Topaz Ore, Diamond Ore, Black Crystal Ore or Bronze Ore (20% each)
B3 Subway Depot 1 Steel Ore, Mithril Ore, Adamantium Ore, Silver Ore, Orihalcon Ore, Gold Ore or Lidium Ore (1 in 7 each)

One reward per climb

  • A pile or chest pays once per climb. It sends you out the moment it pays; clicking it again on the same climb pays nothing and sends you out. To be paid again, climb up again.
  • If your Etc tab cannot take the reward, nothing is paid and you stay at the top; make room and click again. The piles say "Check for a available slot on your ETC inventory." and the chests say "Your inventory is full. Please remove an item from your ETC inventory."
  • ★
    Different from the original game A full inventory never costs you the reward. The chest waits until you have room instead of sending you out empty-handed.

Common problems

  • The ledge with the exit portal at the top of B1 Area 2 cannot be reached. A jump problem there was fixed. Hold the direction as you jump out of the pit.
  • The chest gave an ore instead of Shumi's money. It only hands over the quest item while the matching quest is active. Accept the quest from Shumi before you buy the ticket.
  • The pile gave an ore instead of violas. Either the quest is not active, or you already hold as many violas as the quest needs.
  • Clicking the chest again gave nothing. Each climb pays once. Buy a new ticket and climb again.
