In-game text

Rowen the Fairy asked for my help one last time, this time to hunt 200 Zombie Lupins and collect 200 Cursed Dolls. Does she really need THIS many? Is it working? I eliminated a bunch of Zombie Lupins in a forest near Ellinia and collected all 200 Cursed Dolls for Rowen.

Rewards

Liven's take

The Cursed Doll chain is not a party quest - it is a solo grinding chain framed as a series of five collection quests. All five are triggered by talking to Rowen the Fairy in Ellinia. The mob you're grinding is the same for every tier: Zombie Lupin, found in the forest maps north of Ellinia.

The five tiers

  • Tier 1: Collecting 50 Cursed Dolls - awards a random low-tier metal ore (Bronze / Iron / Mithril / Adamantium / Silver / Orihalcon), quantity 7. Crafting fuel for smiths.
  • Tier 2: Collecting 70 Cursed Dolls - awards a random gem ore (Garnet / Amethyst / Aquamarine / Emerald / Opal / Sapphire / Topaz), quantity 10. Accessory-crafting fuel.
  • Tier 3: Collecting 100 Cursed Dolls - awards a random precious ore: Gold or Diamond, quantity 5. High-tier crafting fuel.
  • Tier 4: Collecting 150 Cursed Dolls - awards either a Gloves Attack Scroll (Intermediate) OR a Gloves Magic Attack Scroll (Intermediate). The first genuine equipment-upgrade reward in the chain.
  • Tier 5: Collecting 200 Cursed Dolls - the payoff. A random level 40 hat: Old Wisconsin, Steel Nordic Helm, Dark Guiltian, Dark Distinction, or Dark Pilfer. This is the reward chain readers actually run for.

Why grind this instead of leveling normally?

Straight leveling in this range is faster EXP per hour than the chain's rewards. What the chain gives you is crafted-item fuel + a decent hat without buying anything from other players. If you're a smith or accessory-crafter, tiers 1-3 are your ore restock run. If you don't craft, skip to tier 5.

Total dolls needed to complete all 5 tiers: 50 + 70 + 100 + 150 + 200 = 570 Cursed Dolls. At a rough drop rate of 40-60% from Zombie Lupins, that's ~1,000-1,400 mobs. Budget 3-5 hours for a full clear at level 36-40.
