Official episode, levels 1-200
Help Me Shorty (Izlude and Payon) is an official episode chain for levels 1-200 in 3 steps. It starts at Black Shadow. @guide shows your next step in game.

Walkthrough

  1. The Black Shadow in Izlude: At base level 30 or lower, walk past the Black Shadow near the Izlude Kafra (izlude, 173,210). It begs you to take it along. Choose 'Well, let's go together.' It is Shorty, a little
    Galapago
    : you get the item Help Me Shorty. Open your bag (Alt+E), go to the consumption tab and use the item twice to call Shorty. He gives tips and casts Increase Agility and Blessing (level 10, 60 seconds) for you once every half hour. If you answer 'I don't want to go together' nothing is lost, the shadow stays. Before base level 31 you may send him away from his own menu, but then you never get him back. Reward: Help Me Shorty x1.
    Black Shadow:
  2. Shorty's friend Salty: At base level 31 or more, call Shorty and he tells you he wants to meet Salty. Go with him to the Payon inn (payon_in01, 193,23) and talk to the innkeeper Chanmo. She says Salty went out to pick acorns and jelly in the fields south-southwest of Prontera. Shorty only starts this when you ask him himself after level 31. If you choose the 'Break up now' menu, the quest is marked as finished without the reward.
    Chanmo:
  3. Salty and the acorns: Bring Shorty to Salty in the field south-southwest of Prontera (prt_fild10, 318,191). She is hidden until you step on one of the marked spots of the field (the Coco's nest area, for example (318,191) or (298,212)), then she shows up. She thanks you, and Shorty leaves with her. The Help Me Shorty item is taken away. The guide cannot see when Salty has finished (her quest entry is erased), so this step stays listed afterwards. Reward: Costume Penguin Cap, base EXP 4,000, job EXP 1,000.
