The Maker skill quests are Moren's lessons in Magatia. The part that blocked players is the level 2 test: the Intermediate Monster Crystal has to be made with your Maker skill after Moren gives you the test, from monster leftovers, not bought or made earlier. (The NPC's name is spelled Moren on the map and Meren in some dialogue; it is the same person.)

Maker level 1: Meren's New Discovery (level 45)

1. Talk to Moren and accept Meren's New Discovery. Any job can take it.
2. Take the three classes, each costing 10,000 Vesos to start:
   • Carson's Fundamentals of Alchemy: Carson at the Zenumist Society in Magatia.
   • Hughes the Fuse's Basic Theory of Science: Hughes the Fuse in Orbis Tower, in Hugh's Laboratory.
   • Meren's Class on the Actual Practice: back at Moren.
3. Return to Moren: 50,000 EXP, the book A Guide to Using the Maker Skill and the Maker skill.

Maker level 2: Meren's Second Round of Teaching (level 75)

1. Accept the test from Moren: make one Intermediate Monster Crystal 1.
2. The crystal must be made with Maker after the test is active, from 100 monster leftovers. A crystal you broke out of old equipment, bought or made before does not count, and he tells you so.
3. Hand it in: 230,000 EXP and Maker level 2. You keep the crystal.

Maker level 3: Meren's dropped note (level 105)

Maker level 3 is three short quests in a row, all at Moren in the Weapon & Armor Shop, Magatia. You need level 105, any job except Beginner, and to have passed the level 2 test (Meren's Second Round of Teaching) first. There is no quest called "Meren's Third Round of Teaching" in the Quest Log; level 3 is these three.

1. What Meren Dropped: talk to Moren and accept. He is too busy to notice you; there is a crumbled piece of paper on the floor behind him.
2. Click the paper behind Moren (the Dropped Piece of Paper; it has no name tag). It asks "Would you like to pick up the crumbled piece of paper?" Choose Yes. This finishes What Meren Dropped (no reward of its own). Choosing No just closes it; click the paper again.
3. The Owner of the Note is offered straight away by the paper ("Meren must have dropped it. Would you like to return it to him?"). Choose Yes: the Doodly Paper goes into your Etc tab. If you already finished What Meren Dropped earlier but never got the paper, click the paper behind Moren again and accept The Owner of the Note.
4. Give the Doodly Paper to Moren. He takes it; this finishes The Owner of the Note (no reward of its own).
5. A Surprise Outcome follows from Moren: he says the paper is "just another item gone wrong" and lets you keep it. When you accept, the Doodly Paper comes back to your Etc tab. It is the recipe for a Gold Anvil.
6. Make the Gold Anvil in the Maker window (needs Maker level 2, level 105, and the Doodly Paper in your bag). Materials: 1 Doodly Paper, 6 Gold Plate, 2 Steel Plate, 1 Lidium. No Vesos. The Doodly Paper is used up by the craft.
7. Hand the Gold Anvil to Moren: 530,000 EXP and Maker level 3. The anvil is taken.

If you manage to make the item, then bring it to me. Of course, the chance of that happening would be less than 1%.— Meren

Different from the original game Maker level 3 pays 530,000 EXP, the level 2 test 230,000. The original game paid 300,000 for level 3.

Common problems

• "I have the crystal but he will not take it." It was not made by you with Maker during the test. Gather 100 monster leftovers of the right kind and make a fresh crystal.
• A class will not start. Each class needs its 10,000 Vesos up front and Meren's New Discovery in progress.
• "What Meren Dropped never gave me the Doodly Paper." The paper is not handed over by Moren. Click the crumbled paper on the floor behind him, say Yes, then accept The Owner of the Note; the Doodly Paper lands in your Etc tab.
• "Is Meren the same as Moren?" Yes. The quests call him Meren, the name over his head says Moren.
• "Where is Meren's Third Round of Teaching?" It is not a quest of its own. Maker level 3 is What Meren Dropped, The Owner of the Note and A Surprise Outcome.
