- Continue onto the Quest "Heartbroken"
A Special Note in Blue: To all of you level 55~ out there, don't try to be a hero, unless you did Coming-of-Age: Loyalty (MP), you must do this outside a squad and you cannot have a squad inside either. During that one minute that Goshiki charges in the battlefield, like all flesh and blood NPCs, Goshiki have limited HP, Goshiki is Doomed to Die, so if you see his HP go low, don't try to go in and save him, it's a burn on your HP and MP, you have a way bigger fight after that one-minute dialogue, use this time to meditate. Also, don't be foolish and do AoE, in fact, if you are not at the spiritual phase transcendent (ie. level 59 or above), don't even bother to attempt this (except venos, but you'll have a really hard time).

Yet another friendly note in Blue: A bug has occured (thanks to pand0ra) that shows that when your timer fails, it goes in negative time, you cannot trash the quest! Here's a heads up, don't bother trashing it, relogging will help, if it does not, if you are still in the vampire's domain, die and sacrifice some exp, a quest will trigger and it reads "For What?" This pop up will bring you back to the entrance of Nirvana and override the timer, should you be outside nirvana and cannot enter back in, relog, if it doesn't work, wait it out.

A third friendly note in Blue: Jakarus pointed out that the Blood Combat can be done before 59 for wizards, since the undead SOLDIERS use a water attack and undead OFFICERS use a fire attack, wizards can alternate pyroshell and glacial embrace to have an easier time.

1. With the Attack Rate Increase, the attack speed of deadeyes become randomly faster, it can go from a slight bit faster to about three rocks a second, to all level 70- Arcane Armors, if you got like six rocks hurled at you before ironheart or morning dew could even take effect, it really hurts.
2. Deadeyes are aggresive! And they have a 80% chance of respawning right behind you, regardless of where you are around that area, the best thing to do to avoid ending up fighting two or more deadeyes at once is to try and not kite them, clerics should use more ironhearts to make a stand to fight, and venos just stay still while arcane wiz pack up on some HP pots.
