Miniature Elephants and Camels Guide

Introduction

Miniature Elephants and Camels are often used in the desert since horses (other than T9 Dine) have a speed penalty when in the Valencia Desert.

The Miniature Elephant has a high Weight Limit and amount of inventory slots, making it useful for trading, while the Camels are faster for traveling.

This guide solely focuses on the Miniature Elephant, which is the 1 person mount. If you are looking for information on the Guild Elephant, please check our dedicated guide.

Miniature Elephants

The miniature elephant mount can carry one person and is used to actively transport trading goods across Valencia. Although this adorable mount moves quite slowly and has a very slow AFK speed, it is much more efficient than using a horse or walking as it can carry more weight. At level 1 it has a maximum weight limit of 830LT as well as 16 inventory slots. The elephant can go up to a maximum of level 15, at which it can carry a maximum of 1200LT. However, you can also overstack your Elephant and it won’t impact the speed too much, if you put 2000LT on the Minature Elephant it can still use the Quick Run sprinting skill.

Once you have your elephant you will need to feed it Carrots (just like a horse) to increase its stamina/endurance.

 

How to obtain a Miniature Elephant

The miniature elephant is only obtainable by following a short quest line in Valencia and requires your character to be level 55 or higher. The questline can only be completed once per character, but you can obtain additional elephants through a repeatable quest after you have completed the Miniature Elephant questline.

 

Items required for the questline:

• 100G Gold Bars x4
  • This is 40 million silver in gold bars, use the Storage Keeper at Shakatu to convert your silver into gold bars using the “Currency Exchange”.
• Empty Bottles x20 
  • This can be bought from a Material Vendor at Shakatu.

 

Go to Shakatu’s Villa just west of Shakatu village in Valencia. Buy the Shakatu’s Villa Invitation (7 Days)  at the Villa Keeper “Dumaham” just outside the entrance. Make sure you buy this Villa invitation specificially. You will need the permit even if you have a Secret Book of Old Moon active. The Villa Invitation costs 10 million silver. Use one of the 100G Gold Bars to pay for it, or you can use silver instead if you like.

 

 

Once you have your pass, head inside and talk to the Villa Butler “Serazad”. She will have a quest for you called “[Villa] Especially Adorable Elephant”

If the quest does not show, make sure all quests are turned ON in your Quest Log (O). All the Quest Type icons should be yellow at the bottom of your Quest Log (like in the image below).

 

The quest will send you to Shakatu Village to purchase a Minature Elephant permit. The permit costs 100G Gold Bar x3 (30 million silver).

 

 

Go back to Serezad afterward to obtain the next quest.

 

 

You will now need the 20 Empty Bottles for this part of the quest. If you brought some with you, there is a small fountain inside the villa where you can gather the water. If you didn’t bring them with you, they can be bought at the material merchant in Shakatu village. There is a small body of water at Shakatu village where you can gather the 20 bottles of water required for the quest. Stand in the water then right-click the empty bottles in your inventory to start gathering. Once you have enough water, go back to Shakatu villa and give the water to the elephant nursery outside the Villa entrance.

 

The next quest requires you to gather a total of 100 weeds (you can’t just buy them, unfortunately). There are various bushes around Shakatu and south of the villa where you can gather the weeds from and thickets along the roads. Star Anise trees at Shakatu farmland and Date Palm Trees in Shakatu will give you weeds. Once you have gathered 100 weeds, you must go back to the elephant outside the villa and feed it.

 

Finally, you must go back inside and talk to Serazad. She will send you back to Shakatu village to talk to the stable master “Batirma”. After talking to the stable master, you will be given a registration token which you can use at any stable to register your new elephant.

Repeatable Quest

The repeatable quests only become available if you have completed the Minature Elephant questline, and allow you to obtain a new Minature Elephant. These repeatable quests are available from the NPC “Shakatu“ and are called [Miniature Elephant] Permit from the Merchant Guild.

There are a total of 4 quests with different complete conditions. You will be given 1 quest at random to complete.

The easiest quest to complete is the Gahaz Seal quest. You can wait until the daily reset at midnight (00:00 UTC) for the quest to change.

Quest Objective	How to Complete
Hand over Gahaz Seal x1,200 Hand over 100G Gold Bar x2 (20 million silver)	Obtain Gahaz Seals by killing the Gahaz Bandits at Gahaz Bandit’s Lair
Hand over Shiny Golden Seal – [Imperial Conquest] x10 Hand over 100G Gold Bar x2 (20 million silver)	Obtain Imperial Conquest tokens by killing Trading Bandits. The easiest way to do this is by buying a Trade Pack from a Trade Manager and putting the item on your horse. You then need to look for the Red Bandit icons on your map and go to their location. They will show up to attack you and you will be able to kill them and loot them for the tokens. You can get 0 – 3 seals for each bandit and their respawn is approximately 45 minutes.
Hand over Shiny Golden Seal – [Calpheon Trade] x20 Hand over 100G Gold Bar x2 (20 million silver)	Obtain Calpheon Trade seals by completing the Calpheon Trade quests.
Hand over Shiny Golden Seal – [Mediah Trade] x20 Hand over 100G Gold Bar x2 (20 million silver)	Obtain Mediah Trade seals by completing the Mediah Trade quests.

 

The quest will give you a “Haystack for Elephant” as a reward. This needs to be placed on a farm (garden/fence) and takes up 10 grid spaces. It takes around 20 – 30 hours to fully grow, and once the elephant is fully grown, you can harvest it like a normal plant, to obtain a Miniature Elephant registration token.

Camels

Camels came into the game with the Valencia Patch Update. In the Valencia desert, all horses (other than the Unicorn T9 Horse) have slower movement and cannot use skills. Therefore, camels are the best way to travel. You can obtain a camel for free by completing a short once-per-family quest, and your Camel can be leveled up to a max of level 20.

How to obtain a Camel

There are 2 different types of Camels:

• Light Brown Camel
• Deep Brown Camel

The Deep Brown Camel is a slightly better camel stats-wise since it has 105% base stats at level 20, compared to the Light Brown Camel which only has 100% base stats. It also has a slightly higher weight limit but requires more EXP to level up.

Your first camel is obtained by following a short quest at Sand Grain Bazaar and will give you the Light Brown Camel. You can then obtain additional camels, including the Deep Brown Camel, by exchanging Imperial Seals.

Quest Reward

The Camel quest takes only a few minutes to complete and requires 15 energy. The only requirement for this quest is that you must be level 54 or higher and the quest can only be completed once per family.

 

Go to the stable master “Bochlo” in Sand Grain Bazaar in Valencia and pick up the quest Your Best Friend in the Desert.

If the quest does not show, make sure all quests are turned ON in your Quest Log (O). All the Quest Type icons should be yellow at the bottom of your Quest Log (like in the image below).

You must gain 3 pieces of knowledge by talking to NPCs around Sand Grain Bazaar:

• Talk to Storage Keeper: Tavu.
• Talk to the Blacksmith: Manal.
• Talk to the General Goods Vendor: Waida.
• Then go back to the Stable Keeper: Bochlo.

As a reward, you will be given a Light Brown Camel Voucher which can be registered at the Stable Master.

Imperial Seals

• Exchange Shiny Golden Seal – [Imperial Training] x5 for a Light Brown Camel Registration.
• Exchange Shiny Golden Seal – [Imperial Training] x15 for a Deep Brown Camel Registration.

The easiest way to obtain the seals is to capture wild horses and then level them up to level 15.

If you aren’t sure where or how to capture a horse, check out our Horse Taming guide

You then take the horse to any Stable Keeper and put the horse in the stable. Use the “Imperial Horse Delivery” option to trade the horse for 50% of its horse market value and you will also receive Shiny Golden Seals. The amount of seals you get is linked to the Tier of the horse. For example, if the horse is a Tier 5 horse, you will get 5 Shiny Golden Seals.

Once you have the seals, take them to one of the following Stable Keeper NPCs to exchange them for a Camel Registration:

• Tanzine – Valencia City
• Vatonee – Valencia City
• Nassr – Valencia City
• Bochlo – Sand Grain Bazaar
• Batirma – Shakatu
• Kadram – Rock Post
• Eugene – Ibellab Oasis
• Nidgoveh – Ancado Inner Harbor
