4. Go to the middle of the room, unequip all of your items other than your choice of weapon, or weapon and shield, and place them in storage. You cannot be over 400 weight.
5. Go east and speak with Rune Knight Velpino, and choose Enter the Final Test Field
6. Velpino will give you two types of runes, and 30 of each. The first set will cast Storm Blast, and the second set will cast Millenium Shield.
7. Once you have entered the test room, you will fight 1 Ogretooth, 1 Executioner, and 1 Mysteltainn one at a time. The next monster spawns as soon as the previous monster dies. One good tip for the battle portion is to hotkey Spear Dynamo level 5 for the extra HIT, since the monsters have high FLEE.
   • NOTE: The runes given to you will be taken away once the test is completed. Do not be afraid to use all of the runes given to you.
8. Once you have defeated the three monsters, you will be warped back to the Rune Knight job change area. Speak to Velpino repeatedly until he directs you to return to the captain.

10. Speak with him again and you will be given 1 Rune Plate [1] or 1 Energy Rune Guard [1]. (Note: I just completed this as of 11/7/11, and he gave me an accessory "Magic Stone Ring [1]". It has 0 defense, 0 weight, 0 level requirement and can only be used by Swordsmen. It also gives +2 STR. It cannot be stored and I'm guessing it can't be mailed or traded either.)
