[2021] World Quest & Birth Island - Updated

[Desumi]

 

---

 

This is a revamped and updated version of this staff guide from 2019.

Because the previous guide is now officially 2 years old, its about time for a revamp.

This guide features information about the World Quest, the Mysterious Island (Birth Island) and the Mysterious Ticket that you can earn.

World Quest is a server-wide monthly event that is occurring on or around the beginning of every month.

The server-wide event has 24 hours to be completed, but will end if all the total IVs goal is met before the 24 hours time limit is up.

If the total IVs are not met before 24 hours is up, the World Quest will fail and nobody gets rewarded regardless of contribution percentage.

For more information about the World Quest objective, see the section below.

Once the World Quest starts, a system message will be displayed in PRO's in-game chat, on PRO's Discord Server and a Icon will appear in the left corner in-game. (See spoilers below) It will also display a message in chat whenever the world quest have been completed before the timer runs out.

And here is a 30x30 showcase of the icon:

 

 

The Mysterious Cultist will pick a random Pokemon from a predefined Rare-tier list each time a World Quest is started.

The IVs can be between 160,000 and 190,000, in some cases these numbers can wary.

Each time you or someone submits the requested Pokemon to the Mysterious Cultist, it will reduce the total IVs, until the IVs goal is 0.

 

What is IV and what does it actually mean?

IV stands for Individual Values, and on PRO it represents the orange numbers or the numbers on the left side when inspecting a Pokemon (see spoiler below).

Spoiler

The double-digit numbers in the red highlighted square represent the IVs (Individual Values) of the Pokemon.

 

WARNING: SUBMITTING A POKEMON TO THE CULTIST WILL PERMANENTLY DELETE IT, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT BACK ONCE SUBMITTED.

By speaking to the Mysterious Cultist, you can also track your current progress and how many IVs that are left for the World Quest.

If you suceed in getting at least 0.5% IVs, you will be rewarded with a x1 Mysterious Ticket.

And if you contribute 3% or more of the total IVs, you will be rewarded with x2 Mysterious Ticket.

 

 

Here is an quick example on how to calculate how much you need to hunt, in order to reach 0.5% submitted.

If the World Quest requires you hunt Fletchling with a total of 164734 IVs, you would need to submit a total of 824 IVs.

If you want to aim for the 3% reward, you would need to at least submit 4943 IVs or more.

Remember that even if you you do get 0.5%, you would not recieve a reward if the World Quest failed.

 

Mysterious Cultist locations (for each region):

Spoiler

Kanto - Vermillion City (Left side of Psychic Marina)

Spoiler

 

 

Johto - Olivine City (Left side of the docks)

Spoiler

 

 

Hoenn - Lilicove City (To the right of the docks and below and right of the Pokemart)

Spoiler

Sinnoh - Canalave City (In top right corner from the Pokecenter) 

Spoiler

 

 

 

Formula used for calculating the percent of a number:

Spoiler

In this case, we're calculating 0,5% of 164734. If you want to calculate 5% or 50%, remove a zero or two for 50%.

 

164734 x 0,005 = 823,67

In order to reach 0.5%, you would need to at least get 824 IVs submitted , since you round it up.

Apply this to every hunt and you can keep a better track of how much you need.

 

How I personally hunt - My strategy 

Spoiler

Since I am no big brainer, I keep two calculators on the side monitor.

 

Calculator #1:

I calculate the total IVs I need to catch in order to reach the first quota for a reward (0.5% submitted).

And subtract that number with Calculator #2 outcome until Calculator #1's number is zero.

 

Calculator #2:

The other calculator is for calculating the IVs of the Pokemon I catch.

I then subtract that number with the needed IVs on Calculator #1, until It reaches zero.

 

A good strategy:

If there is still time, I often don't submit before I got all of them and only if the WQ is looking like it will be completed in time.

Otherwise, you might have traded in Pokemon you could have used yourself or maybe sold at a later date.

And if the WQ is looking like it will fail, you would not have wasted hunting for hours for anything.

The Mysterious Ticket is a non-tradeable item in PRO that can only be aquired once completing either 0.5% or 3% and more during a sucessfull World Quest.

 

 

This ticket can be used in two ways. Either to access Birth Island or trade them in for a one-time exclusive feature.

 

What and where can you trade a ticket in for a exlusive feature?

You can trade in a Mysterious Ticket with the NPC in Vermillion called "H.Ackerman" (See spoiler below for location)

Spoiler

He offers the 3 following features:

- Reset the 7 days boss cooldown (Do all bosses twice in a single week)

- 30 days train ticket, activates immediately once bought.

- [GUILD FEATURE] Submit 20 tickets to access guild island. *

 

* Will fail if not all 20 tickets are acquired within the first 7 days of the month.

All submitted Mysterious Tickets will be refunded if it fails. If it succeeds, guild will have access to it until the season ends. But only 100 guild members can access the guild island.

 

How to access Birth Island and what to do on Birth Island?

To access Birth Island, you can trade in your ticket with the Mysterious Captain found in Vermillion City Docks.

Here is a better overview of his location in Vermillion City Docks:

Spoiler

 

He will then escort you to Birth Island, where there is an 50/50 chance to encounter a pseudo-legendary or a legendary.

Here is a list on all possible spawns on Birth island.

(This excludes any one-time exlusive event pokes or legendaries from special World Quests)

 

Legendaries

Clicking on a image below will redirect you to PRO's wiki

   

Entei, Raikou, Suicune (Gen 2)

    |     

Regice, Regirock, Registeel (Gen 3) | Latias, Latios (Gen 3)

   

Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie (Gen 4)

| 

Solgaleo, Lunala (Gen 7)

 

Pseudo legendaries

          

Dragonite, Garchomp, Goodra, Hydreigon, Lucario, Metagross, Rotom, Salamence, Tyranitar, Volcarona and Zoroark

 

Pseudo-legendaries has their H.A (Hidden Ability) but no Pokemon that is found on Birth Island can be shiny.

To be able to encounter any of the legendaries above on Birth Island, you would need to have captured one of its counterparts first.

I.e capturing Uxie, would unlock Azelf and Mesprit on Birth Island.

 

Interacting with the Pokemon on the Island

 

ONCE YOU INTERACT WITH THE POKEMON, YOU CANNOT GET A SYNC READY.

 

If you wanna go get a sync pokemon (a pokemon with the synchronize ability) now is the time.

If you intereact with the Pokemon, you cannot end or run from the battle, unless you wish to loose the chance to capture it.

 

You can at any time leave the island by once again speaking to the Mysterious Captain.

This will take you back to Vermillion and you can go to the Pokecenter and get yourself a sync poke.

Once you're all set with a sync and have a masterball or something to catch it with, speak to the Mysterious Captain to travel back.

 

Interact with the Pokemon to initiate the battle. You can now proceed to capture it.

 

Once you have captured it. First of all, congratulations on capturing it.

Hope the Pokemon turns out to be good and of great to you in the future.

 

Check out PRO's Wiki page about World Quests and Mysterious Ticket.

 

How long does a World Quest last?

It will always last 24 hours from the time it was announced in chat or until the total IVs are all collected.

 

What is the point of doing a World Quest?

You can get a non-tradeable Mysterious Ticket to use for either unique features or capturing a pokemon on Birth Island.

 

When does a World Quest start and is it random?

World Quests will randomly start (as of 1st of April) at random. But will be garanteed to spawn the 1st of each month.

 

What happens if a World Quest fails? Will I still be rewarded?

If a World Quest fails, nobody gets rewarded, even if you collect the minimum quota for a reward on 0.5% or more.

 

I have all Legendaries listed above, would I only encounter pseudo-legendaries on Birth Island?

Yes, unless there is a special event World Quest that spawns a special event poke or legendary.

 

Are the Mysterious Cultists only located  in the dock area of each region?

Yes, as far as I am aware, they can only be located in each dock area in a region.

 

I wanna exhange my ticket for a 30 day transit pass or 7 day boss cooldown reset, where to find?
You can exhange the ticket with H.Ackerman in Vermillion city, located across the water from the Mysterious Captain.

 

I accidently ran away from the battle, can i get another chance?

If you ran away from the battle/fainted it, you would need  to get another Mysterious Ticket and try again.

 

Some final words before wrapping it up...

Naxious created a guide in 2019, which I seem to have "stolen" according to him, which was talked about behind my back on PRO's Discord channel.

I have a policy that if anyone feel that I "stole" anything, I am always open for change if the said individual reaches out to me.

But talking about it behind my back won't resolve it. I took inspiration from a guide and made my own from scratch.

If you have any complaints Mr fossil, my PMs are right HERE for you to reach out to me in a professional manner.
