Help & getting started

Each time you prestige, the world picks something old and dangerous and sets it against you. That is your Ascension Trial. Not to be confused with the Namekian Trials, which are the quest behind the 2nd Potential remort requirement. For those see 'help potential'. You do not have to fight it. Prestige is never blocked by your trial, and ignoring it costs you nothing you already had. Beating it pays. WHAT IT PAYS: One beaten: 3 extra prestige points, and you restart your next cycle at 500 million BasePL Two beaten: 6 extra points, restart at 1.5 billion Three beaten: 9 extra points, restart at 3 billion A prestige with no trial kills leaves you on the usual 25 million, so even one boss is worth a great deal of the climb back. HOW MANY YOU ARE SET: Between one and three, drawn fresh every cycle, at every prestige level. Three is possible and never promised, and a big draw is worth more than a small one, so the luck cuts both ways. A SUMMONED BOSS DOES NOT COUNT: Your trial must be met where it lives. A boss called up with 'request boss' pays you nothing toward it, however hard the fight was. At least one of the things that can be set against you is also reachable through a request chain, so check your trial before you spend the tokens. The killing blow must also be yours. Helping a group bring one down earns you nothing toward your own trial. CHECKING YOUR TRIAL: 'prestige' names what was drawn for this cycle and which of them are still standing, and 'remort' lists it alongside the rest of your progress. Your kills reset with everything else when you prestige, which is why a fresh trial is drawn each time.

The remort checklist asks you for 2nd Potential. The quest that grants it is called the Namekian Trials, which is why looking up one name almost never turns up the other. They are the same thing. WHERE: Guru's Compound, reachable from tier 2 through tier 4. FIRST POTENTIAL: Collect any one of the four trial stones, then seek out Nail and meet Guru. He unlocks your first potential. SECOND POTENTIAL: Collect all four stones, find the gatekeeper, and kill Brokar. Take the proofstone he drops, then return to Nail and meet Guru again. Keep that proofstone. It gets you back in to hunt Omega Porunga, a later remort requirement, without gathering all four stones a second time. IT RESETS: Every remort and every prestige clears your potential, so this is earned once per cycle rather than once per character. The hitroll and damroll it grants are cleared along with it. SKIPPING IT: Rank 1 of 'pshop waive' lets you prestige without it. That waives the requirement only, it does not grant the potential or its bonuses. See 'help pwaive'. There is a step by step Namekian Trials guide on the website, and a remort boss page alongside it.
