Roperia (Unlocking)

Summary

Ever since the Great Faropean War, the land of Faropea has been divided into the regions of Farovia and Roperia. Ruled by Dictator Danzic and with strict laws on immigration and emigration and with Cap'n Jozek respecting the borders, wranglers wanting to access Roperia must turn to Farovia's very own shady guy-of-all-solutions, Earl - Cap'n Jozek's very own twin, but (affably) evil, brother.

Procedure

Extorting Earl

Pre-Requisites

• Unlocking Roperia requires wranglers to click on the Shuttle to Roperia option, available in the drop-down menu of the Home button.
  • Wranglers can either pay 4,000 Gold (or $4.99).
  • Note: Wranglers can only Shuttle to/from Roperia 10 times per hour. Anything more requires waiting one hour once the limit's surpassed.

• Selecting either option leads to the following text:
  • Story: Earl is in yet another jam.. and this time it's serious. Earl hasn't paid his taxes in over ten years and the Farovian Feds are finally on to it. So, the man of few words is ready to share the directions to a region long forgotten for a large sum of gold, until he has paid off his debts.
  • Button: Pay Earl 4,000 gold for the directions to Roperia?

Commencing Roperia

Step 1

• Upon paying Earl the 4,000 Gold (or $4.99), wranglers will automatically use the Shuttle and be lead to the following text:
  • Story: Woohoo! Received the new directions from Earl...unlocked Roperia!
  • Received the new directions from Earl and unlocked Roperia! I'll be arriving in Santa Francesca, Roperia in a minute! Earl reluctantly gave me 900 Silver Roples, the currency used in Roperia. He also taught me the Filtration 101 Skill and a little bit about Roperia. The waters there are heavily polluted due to the evil Dictator Danzic, who will do anything for a profit.

Step 2

• Upon arriving, wranglers will immediately be caught by Dictator Danzic personally and the following text will appear:
  • Story: “How dare YOU, a refugee of some sort, come to my Land! I will DEPORT you!” - Angry Dictator Danzic.
  • “You appear to be from Farovia, as you have nothing to show for - no points or equipment and little silver...I will squeeze you like this fish in my hand...if you don't have a good reason for being here!” -Dictator Danzic.

• To respond to him, Wranglers will have the following two options:

• Make your move quick:
  • Lie and say you've been shipwrecked!
  • Run for the nearest exit!

Step 3

• After choosing either(?) option, you will see the following message:
  • Story: “Hurry! Follow me you poor thing!” - The Spirit of the Sea.
  • “Dictator Danzic would have squeezed you to death either way! Thank goodness I spotted you! Danzic has been ruling Roperia ever since the Great Faropean War, which led to a huge separation and silence between Farovia and Roperia.” -The Lovely Spirit.

Step 4

• Following the Spirit and escaping will allow wranglers to respond in two ways (as per their preference):

• Make your move:
  • Thanks for saving my life, I owe you!
  • C'mon suga, lets get fishin'...

• Choosing either option leads to the same outcome with the following text:
  • Story: “No problem! Help me save this lovely Land...” - The Spirit of the Sea.
  • “Evil Danzic has been slowly killing off the fish in Roperia. The water is dirty and the land is barren. Neighboring islands continue to overfish and polute these once pristine waters. Follow my directions and we might have a chance...

Step 5

• At this point, Wranglers will be directed to buy one of two available Roperian poles...

• The Crapolé or the Floral Standard.

• ...with the following text:
  • Story: “Excellent pole selection!”
  • “Next, show me your fishing skills by catching a level 40 Roid Fish or Pox Fish.” - The Spirit.

Step 6

• At this point, Roperia becomes fully unlocked and functional for the wrangler, but due to lore/story purposes, the following (which is a part of Santa Francesca) is listed for completion of this article.
• Upon catching the level 40 fish as directed by the distraught Spirit, the following text appears:
  • Story: “Next, show me your fishing skills by catching a level 50 fish.” - The Spirit of the Sea. I've laid out your next tasks on the Map Page, so you can save Roperia from the Dictator Danzic and the neighboring islands. Start leveling up your pole, so you can catch a Roid Fish or Pox Fish.” - The Spirit.
• This concludes the entire story of unlocking Roperia; further stories are available on the respective island pages.
