Abandoned Subway Station (Construction Site) Quest (Guide)
January 12, 2011 EDIT: I think I have gotten down almost all of the information, including some small details. This will probably be the last edit to this guide.
Pre-Big Bang Version:
Spoiler!
Note on colors: Maps/places will be displayed in dark olive green.
NPCs will be in orange.
Monsters will be in brown.
This is the Abandoned Subway Station area/quest.
It is open to level 25-30 only.
You can get here from a Dimensional Mirror or from Construction Site North of Kerning City. (The Dimensional Mirror calls it Construction Site.)
Sorry, I can't post pictures here.
This is similar to Nett's Pyramid, in that you must kill monsters with 1hp. Higher kill count=more exp.
However, it is different in that there is only 1 difficulty, 1 portal, and low level monsters.
Spoiler!
NOTE: Just as in Nett's Pyramid, all summons do not count. Sorry, Cygnus Knights. Do NOT summon, as their kills will not count.
HINT HERE:
Spoiler!
Hint:{Note: For Aran ALL WARRIORS, Accuracy is set to 35 for the whole quest. You cannot change this. HINT: Bring sniper pots/pills. Pots are 500 meso at Kerning. They give enough acc to hit almost 100%.}
Talk to Mr. Lim to start the quest. You must go to the Dusty Platform.
Round 1:
You must kill Orange Mushrooms and Slimes. Survive 3 minutes to continue to part 2.
Round 2:
Orange Mushrooms and Ribbon Pigs will spawn. Survive another 3 minutes to continue to part 3.
Part 3:
Ribbon Pigs and Horny Mushrooms are your targets. Survive 3 more minutes to complete the quest.
Rewards:
Spoiler!
EXP formula:
(This is ONLY for solo quest. Party quest EXP is a little more complicated.)
2 EXP per kill
10 EXP per COOL
+Bonus EXP based on performance:
Rank S: +12100.......1000+ kills
Rank A: +11000.......500-999 kills
Rank B: +8800........400-499 kills
Rank C: +5200........up to 399 kills
Rank D: +0............Run out of ACT
If you completed the quest, you will get a chance to go to Train 999. This is the Bonus Stage.
Bonus Stage:
You will have 1 minute to kill 30 Metro Bubblings, which drop Subway Lost and Found.
Inside the box there are: (you get one of these)
Spoiler!
5 Blue Pills
5 White Pills
3 Mana Elixirs
3 Unagi
1 Elixir
In addition to these items, a variety of other items can be found. I have gotten reports of a Scimitar and Forked Spear come out of these boxes. However, these items come out VERY RARELY.
Here are the percentages I found. These may vary depending on your luck.
Blue Pills: 51.852%
White Pills: 45.926%
Mana Elixirs: 1.481%
Unagi: 0.370%
Elixir: 0.370%
...and that's all I got from the boxes. Percentages add up to 99.999% due to rounding.
And that's the end of the Abandoned Subway Station Quest.
If you get 10,000 kills you can get the Honorary Employee medal, which gives 90 HP and MP. Talk to Mr. Lim to receive the medal.

You can check your Party Quest rating under "Mr. Lim and the Subway" in the Party Quest tab.
Any other information would be really nice. This guide will probably need some work to confirm all of the weapons that may come out. Thank you for reading this guide!
