Pioneering Merchant

First introduced in v9.0.2, the pioneering merchants are the new replacements for pioneering memorials. Since the secret of the old pioneering memorials have been exposed by the Witches of Bahama, three merchant houses have taken over the operations of pioneering. The merchant houses and the equipment they trade in are:

1. Vent Nuar ("Black Wind") - melee equipment
2. Magia Gremio ("Magic Guild") - magic equipment
3. Tempestar di Savia ("Desert Storm") - shooting equipment

Note: This post is compiled from various versions, so some sections may be slightly different depending on what client version you are using. For example, if you don't see the Test Application item for the next rank even after having enough favor rate, chances are that the next rank is not available in your current version.

Coimbra Mission

From v10.6 onwards, Coimbra Nimrod Bridge will become a hub location to start various missions.

Ancient Blessing Statue (I5) replaces El Antiguo Patrimonio, which has been removed from Queen's Gate and Thueringen Lakeside. It grants EXP +20%, ATK Rating +1, and DEF Rating +1 for 24 hours, costing 300 reputation points. In v10.18, there will also be a Pioneer Support buff for EXP, Stance EXP, or Drop Rate, usable 1/day for free. You can get the buffs at any time of the day.

Coimbra Mercenary (I5) lets you start various daily "mercenary" missions in v10.6. He also offers repeatable hunt quests to kill the mission boss(es). Each quest rewards either Epic Grade Glazium x2 or Veteran B EXP Card x3.
