Metaphysician Quests ~ A Complete Guide.

Metaphysician is in every town starting from Skysong till Shura where it turns into Telepathist Mim.

This is how you do it.

1. You give the Metaphysician a certain amount of money (depends on your map level).
2. He gives you a quest to kill a certain amount of mobs (again depends on map the quantity of the mobs to be killed).
3. You come back and turn in quest.
4. You get some exp and a Treasure Charm.
5. You click on the charm and you get a quest to open a chest somewhere in the map.
6. You go to the chest location and open it.
7. You either Spawn a Gilhook (Soldior in Shura) or Get exp gold or items usually Esper and pet related.

Now what I do, to make it less annoying when you have to run all over to open chests, I collect all 20 Charms a day. Then I open charms till I get quests for all possible chests. Then I open one chest, when the chest is opened, I click another charm and spam click it till it gives me the same chest quest again, it will say that you already have the quest. Ignore it. Keep clicking and you will get the same chest, it re-spawns fairly quickly so while you're clicking charms it should already have spawned. Keep doing this over and over till all your charms finish. Then clear up the rest of the chests left in your quest log :).

The Gilhooks from Skysong till Wildlands give alliance power beads that you can sell or donate towards your alliance. from IV till Shura you get a lot of exp from the Gilhooks and Soldiors.
In some Maps there's a special Gilhook of Antiquity which I personally haven't ever killed so don't have much info on. Any info would be appreciated.

Here's a list of Items you get from chests most usually with (current) price help:

Treasure Bowl - Usually 30-40g (I buy for 30-35 if you wanna sell)
Treasure Urn - 150-200g (used for getting esper tome/acc)
Kylin Orb - 70-80g
Best Dragon Skin - 100-190g
Wongzo Grape - 8-9g (better off using it)
Arcane Coin - 45-70g (I'm always buying for 45g if anyone selling)
Yin-Yang Flag - 1g (Low lvl esper medium no one really buys but u can try selling)
Talisman of Craft  - 1g-75s
Honor Gem - 20-25g
Best Blood Wine - 2-5g (same low lvl medium no one really buys)
Cloudmist Prime - Esper energy, it's a stupidly tiny amount you're better off using it)
Refinery Talismans - 20s-1g
Random 2g
Random lot of Experience when you summon Gilhook.
