| abstract | - Occasionally, players will need to solve puzzle boxes for a level 3 or 4 clue in Treasure Trails or during the Monkey Madness or Quiet Before the Swarm quests. Puzzle boxes contain a scrambled image that players must work to unscramble by clicking on tiles to move them to an empty space. Once the puzzle box is completed, players will need to talk to the NPC who gave the puzzle to receive the next clue or the reward. All puzzles, including the Monkey Madness puzzle, will rescramble if prematurely terminated even after completing the puzzle if you have yet to talk to the NPC. If you would like to receive a different starting puzzle, destroy the box (not the clue) and ask the NPC for another or simply log off. Only for the Monkey Madness quest, players have the option to 'bypass' the puzzle by paying Glough, in his words, a "small fee" of 200,000 coins (200K). Although this is not recommended, players may still do so if they find puzzle boxes particularly long and grueling. If the player elects to pay Glough the 200K, he will solve the puzzle to the point where the player only needs to slide one piece. A puzzle-skipping ticket may be used to skip a puzzle box from Treasure Trails. Currently, there are nine puzzle box images to unscramble. 7 belong exclusively to the treasure trails activity, 1 belongs exclusively to the Monkey Madness quest, and 1 3x3 puzzle belongs to the Quiet Before the Swarm quest.
