OPQ - A How-To Guide

2x Smug (a.k.a. "Rush" PQ) is where you only do the first 2 stages. And if you havent figured it out already, they call it 2x smug because it requires 2 ppl to smug in order to successfully "Rush" OPQ. A decent 2x OPQ should take around 2 minutes or less to do and you get 21,000 EXP for every completed "Run".

OPQ requires a party of 6 ppl including at least 1 Thief with max Haste and 1 Magician with Teleport AND you also need TWO ppl that can smug (1 smuggler Smugs 20 "Clouds" the other Smugs 1 "Piece"- preferably the Leader does NOT smug, but it is possible). Clouds are collected in Stage 1 in order to move to Stage 2 - they are like "Passes". The "Piece" is a piece of a Statue used to summon Pappa Pixie at the end of pq, but most people never do a "Boss PQ" until lvl70, because once you SUCCESSFULLY "Boss" your EXP gets "nerfed" to about half for any 2x OPQ you do with that particualar character FOREVER.

Enter OPQ by having the Leader talk to Wonky. Leader cannot have the 20 "Clouds" or the "Piece" in Inventory when entering OPQ. If no-one has Clouds or Piece then you all have to "Farm" them and start over (it's really not that big of a deal to Farm, but everybody likes to complain about it).

So once in OPQ, the Cloud Smug drops 20 clouds in front of the small Sun in the Gazebo-looking thing and the Piece is dropped to the Leader to take to "Storage". When the 20 Clouds disappear, you get 6000 EXP and everyone is teleported to the top near the Tower.

3 ppl will collect Clouds and 3 ppl will do "Lobby".
Clouds is Stage 1 and does not require a certain class/job as long as a Thief hastes them before they start Clouding. The Clouders decide among themselves (or sometimes Leader assigns) who will do "Left", "Middle", and "Right" Clouds. They break open the clouds which in turn drops a cloud to collect in order to be dropped to the Cloud Smuggler at the bottom of the stage.
At the same time that the Clouders are collecting the Cloud Passes, the Leader and 2 other people will do Lobby. If the Leader is not a Magician, then at least 1 Magician will be assigned to do Lobby. To "Lobby", the Leader takes the Piece to a room called "Storage" where he talks to the NPC to get another 7500 EXP then leaves Storage and goes to Lobby. The other 2 Lobby'rs wait inside at the bottom of the Tower and then follow Leader into Lobby where the Leader will immediately drop the Piece to the Piece Smuggler.
The Lobby'rs must break open 7 boxes to find the correct "Record" (a.k.a "CD") to place on the Record Player for that particular day. Lobby is basically a Jump Quest where you have to reach 7 platforms at the top to break open boxes containing a different colored "Record" which corresponds to the 7 days of the week. The color you need to get literally changes every 24hours starting midnight PST.
When only the correct Record is placed on the Record Player, then the Leader will talk to the NPC in the Lobby to clear that stage where you all get another 7500 EXP. You are now done with opq and the Cloud Smug Leaves the party and the 2 smugglers each smuggle their items and you start over again after the Leader Re-Invites the Cloud Smuggler who left the party.

I hope this helps & If you have any questions feel free to ask.

*EDIT*
i forgot; in case you have to farm piece this is the order of spawn that teh Cellions appear on which ledge:
1 - 10 - 9 - 13 - 11 - 6 - 12 - 2 - 5 - 15 - 8 - 4 - 7 - 3 - 14

WOOOOOO yeah, awesome Jeremy!!! I went to Hidden Street and wanted to post this as well.



The numbers 1-7 in red indicate the "Recommended Way for the Jump" ~ piece of cake really, the ropes closest to the entrance are for mages with tele (except the 2nd to last one, which can be done by anyone)
