Promote the Apprentice Snifsters

In Booster Pass, you'll find the Apprentices, Snifsters that wish to serve Booster.

To access their location, you'll have to go into Booster Tower and press the green switch there (you can't miss it when going up the tower). Back in Booster Pass, you'll then find the entrance to the training area where the Apprentices are.

How to Promote Apprentices

Make Your Party Lose to the Apprentices

The requirement to getting the Apprentices promoted is to lose to them, which is a tall order since they fight alone and have very weak stats. Have your party's HP get lowered elsewhere, then battle the Apprentice and make your whole party lose to it. The Apprentice will happily claim that it's now Snifster No. 4. You'll find it now in Booster Tower, just a couple of rooms before where you find Booster.

You can help five Apprentices achieve this (the succeeding ones will have higher numbers, e.g., Snifster No. 5). Leave the training area then return to find the next Apprentice. After helping the fifth and final apprentice (Snifster No. 8), you won't see anyone in the training area anymore, they're all in Booster Tower.

Aside from some chests in the training area, there are no rewards to this quest except for making these guys happy.
