Hi everyone, this is one of the most annoying / painful quest ever designed in this game. If you want to become a paladin, you will all have to help each other out with this quest. What I need you to do is to check the list, and if you meet the requirements please put your IGN down. I will use this for Ruairi server. Others from different servers may want to use the template and create a different thread for Mari / Talrach. If forum mods can help me update this thread as well that would be greatly appreciated. Also, correct spelling mistakes for me if you see them, as I don't remember all the NPC's name... Or, if you have a better idea on how to do this, feel free to express your opinions.
Part 5 of G2's Mainstream Quest - Search for your ideal type
Requirement to trigger the quest: After receiving the keyword "Search for ideal type" from Aer the water spirit on Ceo island.
To clear the quest, you need to complete the following:
* Gather 3 memos from 3 different NPCs in each town, so 12 total for 4 towns.
* You can only use characters of the different sex to match the NPCs. You can receive memos from both male and female NPCs.
* If your own character meets the requirements, you can use yourself.
* You must bring characters that meet the requirements close to the NPCs and enter their names.
* Status raised by enchants / food / pet bonus can be counted.
So, here's a list of the requirements for all the NPCs for all the towns.

IMPORTANT: FOR YOUR IDEAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE NPC TO BE COUNTED, THE IDEAL PERSON MUST HAVE ALL OF THOSE LOOKS/PERKS/ITEMS/TITLES IN THEIR INVENTORY AND STATUS.
Note that Ideals to an NPC are of the opposite sex(Male NPCs do not have a Male Ideal), and there are certain NPCs who only like a certain person, such as Kristell to Tarlach and Trefor to Dilys. These are known as "Free Ideals", and count towards the 3 you need from each city. Advice for Ideals would be to request help from your gulidies or friends to complete this boring task. It's also possible to be your own Ideal, you just have to meet the requirements of the opposite sex and all of that listed above. NPCs must also be able to see that Ideal person, like in the same town, in the same channel, and logged on that time with you. "Free Ideals" do not apply to this rule, since you can use Tarlach for Kristell when he's far away in his sealed snow land. People in Mabinogi also act as Ideals for a price or can be generous and offer themselves to be an Ideal, completely free. If worst comes to worst, just buy your ideals. 10k is the most favorable and used price for each ideal.
Recommended NPCs to get Ideals from:
Tir Chonail: Trefor and Malcolm are easy free ideals, leaving you with one more ideal to finish up. I suggest Allisa as she is the least expensive to do and find. You can easily create an Alissa Ideal with a mule account, rebirth it to 10, and have it kill a brown bear. This should be easy with the 10 Nao Soulstones they provided you in the beginning, and have a friend of gulidie go on that account and stay next to you to get Alissa's ideal.
Dunbarton: Kristell is a "Free Ideal", leaving only 2 ideals for you to complete. Aeira, Manus, and Glenis are the most easiest ones to complete out of all the NPCs in Dunbarton, and most people usually act as those Ideals.
Bangor: Bangor is easy like heck. Sion is a "Free Ideal" for Ibbie, Bryce will take any Female character(Not an NPC), and Jennifer will take anyone who's got a full Big Gold pouch(50k in inventory).
Emain: Hardest one out of the 4. Gordon is probably as close to "Free" as you can get, just get a female to wear a Popo's Skirt from Allionoia's store which sells for like 600 gold. Delen and Agnes are the 2nd and 3rd most easiest ones in Emain. All the other NPCs are practically impossible.
Bottom paragraphs are added by me to avoid further confusion and stuffs for which ideals someone should go for and to provide more info not added by Snowdust.
