1. Cost-Effectiveness and Preparations (Money) for HT Necklace
The HT Necklace is a highly cost-effective item with +7 to all stats, significantly improving DEX and LUK stats for archers.
You need money to acquire the HT Necklace, and the price varies depending on the ranking of the dropped necklace. First place is 45 million mesos, second place is 40 to 30 million mesos, and third place is around 25 to 15 million mesos.
Second place is recommended, but choosing first place can save time.
2. Second Preparation: Transformation Potion Quest (TP Quest)
The Transformation Potion quest (TP Quest) is essential for entering Horntail.
Be careful not to collect the materials before receiving the quest, as you won't be able to obtain the most important 'Manon's Cry'.
Receive the 'Moiras Whereabouts' quest from Tatamo in Leafre, and then receive the 'Transformation Potion' quest from Moira.
3. TP Quest Material: Manon's Cry
Moira requires 1 Cornian's Essence, 1 Skull Shoulderpad, 1 Manon's Cry, 5 Tough Dragon Skins, and 1 Cornian's Dagger.
The Cornian's Dagger can be made by combining a Broken Dagger, Mithril, and Steel.
The most difficult material to obtain is 'Manon's Cry', which can only be obtained by catching Manon. It is recommended to purchase it through broadcasts in Flame.
The market price is high and difficult to obtain during the early morning hours, so it is best to aim for 3 PM to 6 PM.
Park your character in Manon's Forest in advance, and contact the seller to acquire the item before it drops.
4. TP Quest Material: Obtaining Other Materials and Completing the Quest
Cornian's Essence, Skull Shoulderpad, and Broken Dagger can be obtained from Hidden Dragon Forest 2.
Tough Dragon Skin is obtained by catching Wyverns.
If you have collected all the materials, talk to Mos in Leafre to complete the quest.
On the day you get the HT Necklace, pay the remaining balance according to the raid's Discord instructions, and follow the raid member's guidance.
5. Entering Horntail's Cave and Moving to the Expedition Channel
Following the raid member's instructions, complete the Transformation Potion quest, transform into Cornian, and enter the Cave of Life by talking to Keroben through the jump below.
Click on the Horntail signpost to move to the entrance of Horntail's Cave, and click on the expedition sign to move to the expedition channel.
HT Necklace raid members give the HT Necklace buff to guests.
6. Defeating Horntail and Acquiring the HT Necklace
Move to the transfer channel with the raid members and enter Horntail.
After entering, go to the top of the first rope and wait.
Set an alarm 10 minutes earlier than the estimated clear time and wait, and move to the next map with full HP at the final stage of Horntail.
Be careful of the stalactites on both ends, and acquire the HT Necklace according to the raid member's instructions.
7. Tips and Closing for Failing to Acquire the HT Necklace
If you failed to acquire the HT Necklace in 2nd or 3rd place, it is best to park your character in the Horntail expedition channel so that you don't have to redo the TP quest.
