How to Start The Corsairs' Dilemma
Branches Into Three Routes
| Route | Choices |
|---|---|
| Nuono Recommended* |
During the conversation with the Corsair Captain, choose I am here to demand your service, then choose En garde! |
| Messina Mines | During the conversation with the Corsair Captain, choose I demand to see your leader, then choose Very well when asked to help clean out the Messina Mines. |
| Cape Chalier | Enter their hideout in Mobelm and choose Good job out there. Let's go and grab a drink. |
The Coirsairs' Dilemma side quest branches into three routes. You'll get a different set of objectives on different locations depending on the options you chose. This may also affect whether or not you'll be able to recruit the Corsair.
Events for Each Route
| Route | Events |
|---|---|
| Nuono |
• Cannot enter the Messina Mines • Corsair character class unlocked. |
| Messina Mines |
• Can obtain the Book of Light & Earth I at the Messina Mines. • Corsair character class isn't unlocked. ▶ All Spell Book Locations |
| Cape Chalier |
• Cannot enter the Messina Mines • Corsair character class unlocked. |
Use Hybrid Route to Get All Rewards
Normally, the Nuono and Cape Chalier routes lock away the Messina Mines, causing you to miss getting the Book of Light & Earth I in exchange for unlocking the Corsair class as soon as possible.
However, you can obtain the spell book and still unlock the Corsair by following the Hybrid Route.
Hybrid Route Skips Completing Messina Mines
The hybrid route involves doing only the first step of the Messina Mines route to unlock the dungeon, entering and obtaining the book, and then immediately returning to Mobelm without completing the route.
From there, taking the Cape Chalier route will complete the quest and unlock the Corsair class.
Another Chance to Unlock Corsair
If you complete the Messina Mines route normally, you'll have another chance to recruit the Corsair character class, by clearing Garon's Rebellion, an event that launches some time after finishing The Corsairs' Dilemma side quest.
The Corsairs' Dilemma Rewards
Unlock the Corsair Character Class
You'll be able to unlock the Corsair Character Class if you finished the side quest in certain ways, either by assaulting Nuono or infiltrating it via Cape Chalier.
Rapid Stream Formation Unlockable
If a Corsair becomes emperor, The Rapid Stream formation will become available after talking to the soldier in the Battle Formation Training Camp in Avalon.
