You can accept the Odd Job from the Community Noticeboard in Kalm, or you can go directly to the quest giver in The Rusty Arrow.

Prove Your Skill to Vash

After speaking to the bartender in The Rusty Arrow bar, he will challenge you to a game of Queen’s Blood. Beat him in a match to continue. If you need help with Queen’s Blood refer to: How to Win at Queen’s Blood – Best Decks & Strategies.

Queen’s Blood Strategy: The general strategy is that you’ll want to focus on two lanes, ignore the third lane. Only winning lanes get added to the score count at the end, losing lanes count as “0”. If you win two lanes you are almost guaranteed to win the match. Always sacrifice the third lane in order to get a dominant victory on two lanes. On the first draw discard all level 2 cards, you only want level 1 cards to to advance the lanes quickly and cut off the opponent. Start by putting a Levrikon in the top lane (even better, put a Cactuar if you won it from Nene, the Rank 3 player in the north of Kalm). Then put a Crystalline Crab in the middle lane (won from Ned just outside Kalm Inn). Now push the middle and top lanes forward as fast as possible with level 1 cards. Ignore the bottom lane. Depending on your deck you can also switch this strategy around and focus on the bottom and middle lane. The key to victory is to advance two lanes forward as fast as possible, if you block off the opponent you are pretty much guaranteed to win those lanes as you will have more cards on them. The same strategy will work for the other opponents too.

Track Down Virgil

Now head to the clocktower to find Virgil outside. You will need to beat him in a match as well.

Track Down Thorin

Next, hear to Thorin’s Card Shop northeast of Kalm. Speak to Thorin and once again, win another match. If needed, you can buy two powerful cards from him for 500 gil each. He’s stronger than the previous two opponents. Again, if you need help refer to How to Win at Queen’s Blood – Best Decks & Strategies.
