RBR quests and non-RBR farming picks

This page condenses two quest tier articles by みどり into a quick reference. The ratings weigh farming items with market value, overall returns and run efficiency. They are the author's own judgement from experience, not an official server ranking.

How current this is: the RBR tiers follow the November 2025 date marked in the original; the non-RBR tiers date from May 2025. Drop tables, quest revisions, prices and new routes can all change the rankings. Before choosing a quest, check the current Ephinea drop charts.

What RBR is

Ragol Boost Road (RBR) picks one quest each week from the candidate lists of Episodes 1, 2 and 4. It rotates every Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Check it under Statistics at the lobby counter, or type /rbr in game.

• The RBR boost stacks with the weekly boosts, events and other boosts.
• RBR itself does not raise the rare enemy rate (RER).
• Once a quest is on RBR, its normal time limit is removed.
• Every candidate in an Episode is used once before the next cycle starts, so a quest can repeat two weeks in a row across a cycle boundary.

For the mechanics and the latest candidate list, the reference is Pioneer 2 Wiki: Ragol Boost Road.

This week's RBR and the candidate tracker

The table below lays out the Wiki's 58 eligible quests by Episode and area. Blue quests can still be drawn next week, green marks this week's quests, and grey marks quests already used this cycle that cannot come up next week. The Tracker is maintained by hand. This page checks it against the current rotation template, but /rbr in game is always the final authority.

How to use these tiers

• This week's RBR has an S or A quest: usually worth farming first.
• This week has only B or C: decide by the drop you want and your Section ID.
• This week's RBR doesn't suit you: farm the non-RBR MAE4 instead, or pick an S or A quest for the item you still need.
• RER weeks: RBR adds no extra RER, so switch to the rare-enemy routes further down.

The text below keeps the abbreviations used in the original; full weapon and quest names are in Common Abbreviations. Section IDs are Viridia, Greenill, Skyly, Bluefull, Purplenum, Pinkal, Redria, Oran, Yellowboze and Whitill.

RBR candidate quest tiers

The ratings focus on how efficiently a quest farms high-value items. The author considers A and above worth running on purpose; B–C suit a specific target, and D is usually not worth repeating for rare items.

Marking this week's RBR…

S tier: worth farming whenever it comes up

Quest	Main value	Route / ID advice
EN2	More than 150 Evil Shark, and Vjaya can also come from boxes; very efficient to run.	Farm Area 1 only; a split party takes about 5 minutes a run.
SR3	72 Sinow Red since the revision, making it the top quest for Lame d'Argent, well ahead of PW2.	Plan the route around the Sinow Red.
EN4	The final waves are good for Merlan, Del-D, Delsaber and Dark Belra.	If you only want Del-D, stop after Area 1; especially good when you want a Dark-attribute HS.
PW1	100+ Gee, by far the best quest for DoB; a Lucky Coin on completion.	Split into Coast and Jungle teams that clear at the same time.
PW3	The opening box room is excellent, with good odds of high-attribute common weapons, Yunchang and Psycho Wand; a Lucky Coin on completion.	Run the boxes only, or clear the whole quest.
PS2	More than 600 enemies, with high EXP and PD returns; plenty of Chaos Sorcerer and Delsaber.	Oran is excellent; each of the four players takes one of the four rooms in the α area.
LCV	Lots of Ill Gill, Mericarol and Delbiter; top-tier for V502 and Heaven Punisher.	Purplenum; use the Blessing devices for brief invincibility when you need it.
NMU4 / WoL4	Dense Pyro Goran, top-tier for Heaven Striker; good EXP and armour to sell as well.	An FO, or a RA using Divine Punishment, can run it on Anguish 1.

A tier: efficient quests for specific targets

Quest	Main value	Route / ID advice
SU2	The branching map suits a split party and farms Evil Shark, Poison Lily and Pan Arms efficiently; Cave 3 can also give Amplifier of Gifoie and a Lv.30 Gibarta.	A practised party can finish in under 4 minutes.
MU2	About 70 Evil Shark before the midpoint; an efficient short run.	Stop at the midpoint; about 3–4 minutes once you know the winding route.
SU3	79 Canadine, one of the best Mines quests for Charge Vulcan; also Yasminkov 9000M, Syncesta and Lame d'Argent.	Decide whether to clear the whole map by the enemy you are after.
LHP	Splits 2:2 at the start; lots of the rarer Ruins enemies such as Bulclaw, Delsaber and Chaos Sorcerer.	Skyly for Swordsman Lore / Calibur, or Whitill for Handgun: Guld; fairly difficult.
LBA	More Delsaber than PS2 and a high enemy count overall; also excellent for levelling on VH.	Oran for Daylight Scar.

B tier: worth it with a target in mind

Quest	Suggested targets
SR2	Pan Arms appearance-change items (Skyly / Yellowboze).
MU4	Heaven Striker (Bluefull).
SA2	Heart of Tension Blaster, V101, Lame d'Argent (Yellowboze).
SU6	Daylight Scar (Oran / Skyly), Guren (Skyly), PF (Redria; abbreviation kept from the original).
SU7	Heaven Punisher, Sealed J-Sword (Skyly).
SU8	Yunchang, Ano Rifle (Redria).
WoL2	Slicer of Fanatic (Oran), Cannon Rouge (Redria), PF (Yellowboze).
SU13 / SU14	Slicer of Fanatic, V801, Limiter (Pinkal).

C tier: narrow uses, or a better quest exists

Quest	Suggested targets
LHS	Handgun: Milla (Whitill).
MU1	Handgun: Milla (Whitill), Heart of Daisy Chain (Viridia).
LIS	V101, Yasha, L&K38 Combat (Viridia), Heart of TypeSS/Swords (Oran).
MU3	Charge Vulcan (Purplenum).
EN3	V101, S-Parts (Oran).
SU4 / SR4	Prophets of Motav (Oran).
PS1 / LSR	Yasminkov 9000M, Heart of Suppressed Gun (Purplenum).
PS3	Sealed J-Sword, Heaven Punisher (Skyly).
PS4	Heaven Punisher, Charge Vulcan, Transvestite Plate (Purplenum).
PS5	Heaven Striker (Whitill).
PS6	Sealed J-Sword (Skyly).
NMU2	Slicer of Fanatic (Oran).
WoL3	Yasminkov 9000M (Purplenum), Slicer of Fanatic (Whitill).
SU12	Heaven Striker (Greenill / Redria), Slicer of Fanatic and V801 (Pinkal).

D tier: usually not worth repeating for rare items

Quest	Main problem
SU1 / EN1 / SR1 / SA1	The Forest pays poorly overall; Pinkal is an option if you want Heart of Angel Harp.
SU5	Getting lost in the Temple slows progress and the enemy count is unremarkable; CCC or MAE:VR usually does the job better.
LDR	Some enemies are immune to Hell, and double-ATP EX specials do nothing to the boss; if you develop a route, consider farming only the upper floor.
TET / TWT	Few enemies and long walks; only good for farming specific enemies from the opening.
SU10 / NMU1 / WoL1	Long walks in Crater East, and poor-quality common weapons.
SU11	The high Dorphon count doesn't turn into returns; it tends to be a worse MA4C.
NMU5 / WoL5	Subterranean Desert 3's quicksand and S-shaped passages are awkward, and the enemies are strong but not numerous; the risk outweighs the reward.
AO1–AO5	Most enemies spawn at random, so positions and counts are unreliable; not suited to targeted farming.

Non-RBR quest tiers

"Non-RBR" means quests outside the RBR candidate pool. This chart weighs overall farming efficiency, PD returns and rare items RBR rarely covers. It uses a different scale, so an S here is not comparable with an RBR S above.

SS tier: the default when you don't know what to farm

Quest	Why it's recommended	Key points
MAE4 Maximum Attack E: Episode 4	Packed enemy groups, high EXP and an MA4 Ticket on completion; Shambertin has a 1 in 10 chance to be Kondrieu.	Galatine, which RBR rarely covers; Greenill farms Heaven Striker from Pyro Goran. Redria / Bluefull work when you skip the Crater route; when a rare boss appears, switch ID for enemies such as Melissa and Zu.

S tier: items MAE4 rarely gives

Quest	Main value	Notes
TS Twilight Sanctuary	Jungle East plus the Control Tower; Purplenum farms V502 and Heaven Punisher, and a practised party may out-earn LCV. The quest pays 75,000 Meseta, plus another 300,000 if nobody falls during the run.	One of the hardest quests on the server; a full party is recommended. For a better chance at HP, aim to finish within 25:30.
MSB Run up to Gal Gryphon	The fastest way to the Gal Gryphon fight, under 7 minutes with practice; the most efficient Galatine quest. Yellowboze can also farm L&K38 Combat from Mericarol.	The quest ends at once if only one player is left; when something important drops, have your teammates stay in the room first.
PW2	114 Ul Gibbon; Pinkal farms Lame d'Argent, with DoB, PRINCIPAL'S GIFT PARASOL and Vjaya on the side, and a Lucky Coin on completion.	Few dangerous enemies and most can be handled with Hell; easy, with reliable returns.

A tier: for specific rare items

Quest	Why it's recommended
TTF	The EP1 boss rush and the most efficient Red Ring quest; Viridia can farm L&K38 Combat from Dal Ra Lie. In RER weeks, Redria can farm Lavis Cannon from Pouilly Slime.
RT	The EP2 boss rush; Yellowboze is a unique choice that farms Galatine and PGF together. The regular enemies are easier than GDV, and a RA with Cannon Rouge does well in the Spaceship and the Gal Gryphon fight.
GDV	CCA, Seabed and the Control Tower plus Olga Flow; packed enemy groups and an MA4 Ticket. Purplenum can aim for V502, Heaven Punisher and PGF together; the recovery device at the midpoint lets you restock traps.

RER-week routes

Quest	Rare enemy targets and approach
TE Forest only	52 Hildelt; once you confirm none is a Hildetorr, skip ahead. Whitill / Purplenum farm Frozen Shooter; a classic RER route.
5-3 Government quest	35 Ob Lily, a short route that allows joining mid-quest, so it suits ID switching. Start as Whitill for DoB; switch to Pinkal when a Mil Lily or Love Rappy appears, and to Viridia for a Hildetorr.
PoD	The fastest way to fight Shambertin, aiming for the rare boss Kondrieu, which can drop Heaven Striker, Lame d'Argent, Daylight Scar and Limiter. High returns, but you are gambling on both the rare boss and the drop.
MA4B	26 Zu, also good for finding Pazuzu. Pazuzu gives V801 on Purplenum, L&K38 Combat on Viridia, and Ophelie Seize on Bluefull / Whitill; with ID switching, Zu can also give V101 or V801.

Other quests with a clear use

Quest	Use
Simulator 2.0	51 Dark Bringer; many traps and first-time surprises, but good for Oran / Redria runs once you know it.
MA1C	Lots of regular enemies plus Dark Falz; Viridia / Redria work well.
GDVD	Includes Gal Gryphon; the Spaceship has many Baranz, so Yellowboze can farm Daylight Scar, but it is fairly hard overall.
MA2A	Whitill farms DoB and Heaven Striker together; it passes through the lower Seabed, good for high-attribute common weapons.
NMU3	55 Pyro Goran; stopping at the 45 before the heat-wave room is usually more efficient. An FO or a Divine Punishment RA can run it on Anguish 1; Redria works well.

Data sources and automation

The objective RBR base data is generated automatically: the RBR source data JSON holds the 58 candidate quests, the Wiki revision, the current rotation, the Tracker state, Ultimate EXP, full enemy counts and notes on conditional counts. The two hand-rated tier charts are stored separately as tier data JSON.

• Automatic: the candidate pool, boost rules, the Wiki's current rotation, quest EXP, enemy counts, drop-rate links and base expected values.
• Semi-automatic only: recommended IDs and PD value per run or per hour, which need current prices and measured run times.
• Still manual: the final tiers, because routes, party coordination, difficulty, failure risk and market liquidity cannot be read off the enemy tables.

/rbr in game is the authority on the server's actual rotation. The Wiki's current-week template can be fetched automatically but may be updated late. The generator checks the date, the Tracker's coverage of all 58 quests, each Episode's current quest and whether the Tracker agrees with the current-week template; if anything is off, it writes a warning instead of silently treating the data as current.
