El Dicastes¶
El Dicastes is the Sapha capital and the last stop in the New World. It offers daily quests paid in Sapha Certificates, the Scaraba Hole dungeon and four enchantable bound items.

Keep the Ring Equipped
Sapha NPCs only talk to you while the Ring is worn. It cannot be traded or stored, so every character must earn its own.
New World Travel¶
The Warper stops at the Midgard Expedition Camp. All travel beyond it uses
Cat Hand Services. Sign the contract once with Fluffy Gyaruk (/navi mid_camp 190/242) for
200 Delicious Fish, 20 Fish Tail and 550,000 Zeny. It applies to your whole account.

There is no death penalty in the city and fortress. Vending, Dead Branches, Warp Portal and memo points are disabled.
Sapha Certificates¶
Sapha Certificates are the only currency in El Dicastes. Base level 80 is required for every repeatable
source. All dailies share one account-wide cooldown that resets at server midnight.
Department dailies. Take a request from a giver in the square, complete it, then report to the matching
manager inside Diel. Each pays 1 Certificate plus 4,000 – 82,800 base EXP, rolled per request.
| Giver | Location | Department |
|---|---|---|
| Laponte | /navi dicastes01 187/230 |
Hunting 1 - kill a target |
| Kalipo | /navi dicastes01 175/217 |

Research documents. Read a Document Package in the Archive Room to get a dig spot on a Midgard field
map. Digging has a 50% chance to give an Unidentified Relic. Papyrus trades 3 relics for 1 Certificate
or 30 for 11. A bad read can leave you Dizzy, which locks the Archive Room for 6 hours.
Quest Chains¶
Ahat's Secret starts with Inspector Doha (/navi mid_campin 168/170). It costs 6 Certificates,
rewards 9 Unidentified Relics, opens Scaraba Hole and unlocks a repeatable daily worth 70,000 base EXP,
30,000 job EXP and 1 Certificate. Note the phrase Shay gives you exactly: you must type it for BK
(/navi dic_fild01 231/174) and Shay will not repeat it.
Frede's Request starts with Frede (/navi dicastes01 117/262, base level 70). Find his six missing
friends in Scaraba Hole, then bring Bouy (/navi dic_in01 349/129) 30 Small Bradium (Dolomedes,
75%). After a 2 hour wait, deliver the refined ore to all six again. Pays 3 Certificates.
Finish Ahat's Secret First
One of Frede's friends is on the lower floor of Scaraba Hole, which stays locked until Ahat's Secret has progressed far enough.
Scaraba Hole¶
dic_dun01 is the Kamidal Tunnel; dic_dun02 is the dungeon proper and requires Ahat's Secret to open.

Upper floor monsters are not aggressive; the lower floor is aggressive and can root you with Spider Web. Antler
and Rake Scaraba teleport away when hit from range while idle. Queen Scaraba (2 hour respawn,
1,304,459 HP) heals and summons escorts, silences the party below 80% HP and takes only 25% of the damage
dealt to her.
Field Maps
dic_fild01 and dic_fild02 are full of aggressive Centipedes and Dolomedes that detect hiding and hit
for up to 16,000. Carry Fly Wings.

Enchanting¶
Four untradeable and unrefinable items, base level 75 to wear:
| Item | Slot | Where | Bound to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light of El Dicastes | Accessory | Free, from registration (it does not teleport you) | Your character |
 Feral Boots |
Shoes | Jahbong, /navi dic_fild01 228/159 - 1 Certificate |
Your account |
 Feral Tail |
Garment | Jahbong - 1 Certificate |
Your account |
| Golden Trinket | Accessory | Jahbong - 1 Certificate |
Your account |
Kareka (/navi dic_in01 353/37) enchants the Light and needs the Ring worn. The cat merchants Jalapeno
(/navi dic_fild01 240/198), Mancho (/navi dic_fild01 259/172) and Brare (/navi dic_fild01 251/183)
enchant the Boots, Tail and Trinket. The item must be equipped.
| Step | Cost | Kareka | Cat Merchants |
|---|---|---|---|
Layer 1 |
1 Certificate |
20% fail, item safe |
10% fail, item safe |
Layer 2 |

Layer 3 |

| Add a socket | 60 Certificates |
Never fails | Never fails |
| Reset | 6 Certificates (Kareka) / free (cats) |
Strips enchants, keeps refine, card and socket | Destroys the item |
The first layer rolls ATK, MATK, Critical or Flee, the second adds +1 or +2 to AGI, INT or DEX, and the third
combines them into a larger bonus. The cat merchants give better odds on the stronger rolls (40% against
Kareka's 14%), and only Feral Boots and Feral Tail can reach the top tier.
Cat Merchant Failures Destroy the Item
A failed third layer or a reset at the cat merchants destroys the item, including its socket and any card. Finish all three layers before adding a socket. Kareka's reset is safe.
