Notes[]

  • The NPCs around the Gate Guards will (usually) comment on the mission you're on.
  • The title granted depends on which gate guard you first visit to get this mission. See Titles for an index of which guard awards which title initially. All of these titles can be re-obtained by Burute-Sorute.
  • The Gate Guard cutscenes can't be re-watched at a Melody Minstrel.
    • The short Ancient Magical Gizmos cutscenes can also not be re-watched at a Goblin Footprint.

Background Info[]

The title seems to be a play on words of "The Harrad Experiment", a 1973 film about free love.
