Legacy of Insolence

Legacy of Insolence is a repeatable, party quest in Lineage 2 C5: Oath of Blood for characters of level 59–75. It starts with Walderal in Town of Aden.

The Tower of Insolence is definitely one of the most marvelous structures in history! The Gray Column Guild, expert architects, felt they had to reclaim the inheritance of their Dwarven ancestors' technology.

Legacy of Insolence walkthrough

A quest for getting the recipes of A-grade helmets, gloves and boots. It is taken at level 59 from Walderal, who stands in the warehouse in Aden.

Town of Aden. Take the quest from Warehouse Keeper Walderal.
Tower of Insolence (teleport from Town of Aden). Hunt Corrupt Sage (lv. 64), Erin Ediunce (lv. 66), Hallate's Inspector (lv. 68), Platinum Tribe Overlord (lv. 71), Messenger Angel (lv. 70), Platinum Guardian Prefect (lv. 74).
Papyri (white, blue, red and black) will drop from the mobs in the Tower of Insolence; we open them with a double click and get a lot of papers, most of which are useless. The mobs the papyri drop from: Corrupt Sage, third floor, Ancient Red Papyrus; Erin Ediunce, fourth floor, Ancient Red Papyrus; Hallate's Inspector, fifth floor, Ancient Red Papyrus; Platinum Tribe Overlord, seventh floor, Ancient Blue Papyrus; Messenger Angel, eighth floor, Ancient White Papyrus; Platinum Guardian Prefect, ninth and tenth floors, Ancient Black Papyrus.
To get anything from this quest you have to collect a complete set of papers of one type and give it to a certain NPC. The sets and the rewards for them are these. Imperial Genealogy: five different parts make a set, the reward is 3 key materials for DC gloves, boots and helmet (to Holly). Ancient Epic: five different parts, 3 key materials for the Tallum ones (to Patrin). Revelation of the Seals: seven different parts, 3 key materials for the MJ or NM ones (to Claudia Athebalt or Desmond). Blueprint: Tower of Insolence (floors 1–13): thirteen different parts, the reward is one key material or one recipe for the A-grade pieces, or three key materials, or three recipes (all random).
We need only the Blueprint: Tower of Insolence papers: for a complete set of them (floors 1–13) you can get the longed-for recipe, or as many as three (or you can get none, because instead of a recipe the little rat of an NPC now and then gives 1 (one) key material for the same pieces). It is not entirely random here, since when you hand in the blueprints you choose which set you need the recipes for (DC, MJ, NM or Tallum), but everything else is at the mercy of His Majesty Random, including whether you get a recipe or just a miserable key material.

What is inside each papyrus

I thought it over and will give the breakdown for all the papyri. {i:5966}: Blueprint, 6th Floor 2.00%, 7th Floor 2.00%; Ancient Epic, Chapter 1 1.60%, Chapter 2 11.20%, Chapter 3 8.00%, Chapter 4 8.00%, Chapter 5 2.00%; Imperial Genealogy 1 1.60%, 2 11.20%, 5 2.00%; Revelation of the Seals: Avarice 1.80%, Awakening 8.00%, Calamity 8.00%, Descent 2.00%, Gnosis 11.40%, Strife 11.20%, Vengeance 8.00%.
{i:5967}: Blueprint, 6th Floor 4.00%, 7th Floor 4.00%; Ancient Epic, Chapter 1 6.60%, Chapter 2 10.50%, Chapter 3 3.60%, Chapter 4 3.60%, Chapter 5 4.00%; Imperial Genealogy 1 6.60%, 2 10.50%, 5 4.00%; Revelation of the Seals: Avarice 6.80%, Awakening 3.60%, Calamity 3.60%, Descent 4.00%, Gnosis 10.50%, Strife 10.50%, Vengeance 3.60%.
{i:5968}: Blueprint, 1st Floor 14.34%, 2nd 14.33%, 3rd 10.25%, 4th 10.25%, 5th 1.60%, 8th 14.33%, 9th 10.25%, 10th 10.25%, 11th 1.60%, 12th 1.60%, 13th 1.60%; Imperial Genealogy 3 1.60%, 4 1.60%; Musical Score Theme of Battle 1.60%, Theme of Love 1.60%; Ancient Chain Letter 1.60%; Ancient Joke Book 1.60%.
{i:5969}: Blueprint, 1st Floor 21.60%, 2nd 21.60%, 3rd 2.50%, 4th 2.50%, 5th 2.00%, 8th 21.60%, 9th 2.60%, 10th 2.60%, 11th 2.00%, 12th 2.00%, 13th 3.00%; Imperial Genealogy 3 2.00%, 4 2.00%; Musical Score Theme of Battle 3.00%, Theme of Love 3.00%; Ancient Chain Letter 3.00%; Ancient Joke Book 3.00%.
The rarest floors are 5, 6, 7, 11, 12 and 13. All the floors except 6 and 7 drop from the white and black papyri; floors 6 and 7 come from the blue and red ones with a chance of 4% and 2% respectively. I farm the black papyri on the 10th floor from the small mobs of the platinum race, the red ones drop on the 5th from the big red mobs, and the angels on the eighth give the best chance for the rare floors (though only 1% better than the black ones). To sum up: all the floors except 6 and 7 are best farmed from the angels on the 8th floor (white papyri), and floors 6 and 7 from the overlords on the 7th floor of the tower (blue papyri), since their chance is 4% (against 2% in the red papyri). But that is as it goes: TOI is not made of rubber, there are different numbers of different mobs, and there may not be enough for everyone.
Naturally, the Koreans could not do without all sorts of anti-goodies that get in the way of finishing the quest quickly (apart from the papyri not dropping all that well). So besides the blueprints being hard to pull out of the papyri as it is, quite useless things will fall out of them too, such as Ancient Joke Book and Ancient Chain Letter (by analogy with the quest in the Giants Cave, where paintings and letters pour out), and musical scrolls as well.
By my observations, different characters open the papyri differently: one of my chars pulled exactly the blueprints out of them very well, while another kept getting mostly musical scrolls. But it may well be just my ravings. Try it yourself.
Town of Aden. Return to Warehouse Keeper Walderal to complete the quest.
And now about the reward, namely the chances. They differ for the low and the top key materials and recipes. If you choose DC or Tallum: 10% that you are given one key material, and the same chance for a set of three different key materials; 11% for one recipe of the gloves or boots; 17% for one recipe of the helmet; 21% for the set of all three recipes. If you choose MJ or NM: from 15% to 17% for one key material; 9% for a set of three different key materials; 12% for one recipe of the gloves or boots; 10% for one recipe of the helmet; 8% for the set of all three recipes. As you can plainly see, messing with the recipes of the top A-grade pieces is far riskier than with the low ones, and 21% is a good chance to catch a treat in the form of a full set of low A-grade recipes. Good luck.

Tips

Update. I ran an experiment and collected 15 sets of blueprints; here is what came of it. I handed them in only for the recipes of low A gear, namely Tallum. The set of three recipes was given only once, a single recipe 8 times, 3 key materials 2 times and a single key material 4 times. In the end I had 3 recipes for Tallum gloves, 4 for Tallum boots and 4 for the Tallum helmet. You could say I am disappointed, since I can freely spoil the helmet and boots recipes at any moment. And how much torment it was to collect those sets.
