Quest Overview

This quest was originally split up by level. The upper level restrictions for the Keeps were removed during the Filling in the Blanks patch. This patch also provided Knight Medallions which could be turned in at Jun Sawashima for xp.
Corcima Castle is split up in 4 (level based) sections, which cannot be accessed from one another.
Only the 100+ section gives access to General Corcima and therefore the reward of the coat.
