Walkthrough
Once in the city, you will have to go to the Arena and beat the exam's three rounds. In the Arena's waiting room, there's three chests with stronger weapons that you can use: 
Squire's Sword for One-Handed Melee, 
Squire's Claymore for Two-Handed Melee, and 
Apprentice Staff for Mages. You can talk to the Guard to advance to the next round, however you won't be able to leave the arena after the first round, so make sure you are prepared.
The exam rounds are as follows:
- First round is a fishing test, which essentially acts as a tutorial for fishing
- Second round consists of three rune block puzzles, acting as a tutorial for puzzles
- Third round is a combat test with three waves of enemies and a boss encounter, Giga Slime
- First wave: Green Slimes
- Second wave: Green Slimes and Rabbys
- Third wave: two Bloomos (spawning in the center), 2 Mrs. Bees, Green Slimes and Rabbys
After defeating Giga Slime, the quest will be completed, and you will resume control from the Collector's HQ.
Tips
- Health orbs which weren't picked up from the enemy waves can still be used during the subsequent boss fight
- Squire's Sword is outclassed by
The Stinger, which can be crafted from Pillar Mountains materials. Obtaining this weapon for One-Handed Melee players can prove helpful
