If the gate guard at rank 10 keeps gossiping and congratulating you, trading crystals seems to reset the missions offers.

{{color|red|Note:}} This Mission is optional and can be skipped by trading enough [[Crystal]]s to the [[Conquest NPC]].
*This mission is a nuisance, and common recommendation is to skip unless trying to complete the [[Records of Eminence|RoE]]s. One reason would be for [[Teleports by Twilight]]'s Unique RoE Objectives count.
*Skipping this Mission has no impact on whether you get the 10% [[Job_Points#Capacity_Point_Bonuses|Capacity Point bonus]] at Rank 10.

==Walkthrough==
Trade enough [[Crystals]] to the [[Conquest NPC]] to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the [[Gate Guard]].

*Talk to any [[Gate Guard]] and accept the Mission.
**There are two in [[Southern San d'Oria]], [[Ambrotien]] at (K-6) and [[Endracion]] at (F-9). There is also a gate guard in [[Northern San d'Oria]], [[Grilau]] at (D-8).
*Buy a {{ItemIcon|Crystal Bass|22}} [[Crystal Bass]] from the [[Auction House]] ([[File:Auction House 16.png|link=]] ➞ Food ➞ Fish) or you can catch one in [[Jugner Forest]].
**It is MUCH easier to buy one from the [[Auction House]]. Crystal Bass cap at 35 for fishing, so plan accordingly.
**See below for fishing tips.
*Trade the [[Crystal Bass]] to the [[Gate Guard]].
*Enter [[Chateau d'Oraguille]] for a cutscene.
*Talk to [[Chalvatot]] located in the late Queen Leaute's '''Garden''' by her Tombstone (F-7) inside [[Chateau d'Oraguille]] for a cutscene. Afterwards the Mission is completed.
**Repeating this Missions is similar to [[San_d%27Oria_Mission_1-2|Mission 1-2]]. You do not need to zone between repeating, you also do not have to repeat the steps in [[Chateau d'Oraguille]].

==Fishing for Crystal Bass==
*Obtain Level 20 or higher.
**Characters less than 14 days old and below level 20 will experience [[:Category:Fishing#Fishing_Fatigue|Fishing Fatigue]]: after catching 10 fish in a day, you can not catch any more until the next day (midnight Japanese time). Otherwise your daily fishing limit is 200 fish.
**[[Goblin Bounty Hunter]]s patrol shorelines for low level players. Level 30s should be able to ignore them.
**Outside of cities, you can fish up monsters. There's a different message if there's a monster on your line. (More about fishing messages below)
*Fishing skill optional.
**Any fish involved in Missions (such as this one) or Quests can be caught with 0 skill unless otherwise specified like [[Inside the Belly]].
**Fishing skill determines how many gold arrows appears in the mini-game, which wear out the fish's faster.
*Obtain a fishing rod and tackle:
**{{ItemIcon|Carbon Fish. Rod|22}} [[Carbon Fishing Rod]] or {{ItemIcon|Halcyon Rod|22}} [[Halcyon Rod]] (craft with [[Alchemy]] or buy on [[Auction House|AH]]) are synthetic rods good for catching small fish.
***These rods are some of the most durable non-legendary fishing rods and the line rarely breaks for any kind of small fish and items like {{ItemIcon|Rusty Leggings|22}} [[Rusty Leggings]].
**Alternatively, {{ItemIcon|Bamboo Fish. Rod|22}} [[Bamboo Fishing Rod]] can be purchased in [[Southern San d'Oria]] from [[Lusiane]] (F-8) if San d'Oria is first place in [[conquest]].
***It is a less durable rod, so it won't be as successful for reeling in items or certain fish (see specific fish pages for notes).
**'''(Optional)''' Obtain 1 {{ItemIcon|Minnow|22}} [[Minnow]] (NPC buyable). It is a lure, does not stack.
**Obtain some {{ItemIcon|Insect Ball|22}} [[Insect Ball]]s, they stack to 99. As much as you're comfortable with. These are good for early skill up and can catch Crystal Bass (while avoiding [[Crayfish]] and [[Red Terrapin]]s). Use as a backup in case something takes your lure.
* '''(Optional)''' The mission requires 1 [[Crystal Bass]]. However, there is another RoE objective for catching 10 Crystal Bass. Vana'versary -> 15th Vana'versary III -> [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#15th_Vana'versary_III|All That Glitters... (W)]]
*Go to [[Jugner Forest]] and find the Crystalwater Spring (J-9).
*Equip your fishing rod in the ranged slot. Bait goes in the ammo slot.
*Target yourself and use the Fishing action next to the water.
*Wait for the right fishing message.
**"Something caught the hook!" <- One exclamation point. It is a small fish. Reel it in.
**"Something caught the hook!!!" <- Three exclamation points. It is a "large fish". The [[:Category:Music#Chains_of_Promathia_music|music]] may change. There are no large fish in the crystal spring... that is a tree ({{ItemIcon|Arrowwood Log|22}} [[Arrowwood Log]]). It will break your rod. Press Esc to let it go.
**"You feel something pulling at your line." <- Some rusty items. It's junk and you won't skill up either.
***"You have a bad/terrible feeling about this one." <- This appears at the end of a message, hinting how likely something is hooked that will break your rod based on your fishing skill and rod's strength. It's probably trees. Press Esc to let it go.
**"Something clamps onto your line ferociously!" <- Monster. They don't drop crystal bass.
