For the second Fixer Grid quest, for the reward: NanoCrystal (Hack Grid Data Stream (Team)), see Team Fixer Grid Quest

If the Grid is Man become Light, then the Fixer Grid is Man become Laser. More focused. More powerful. And soon, it will be your domain... Such a prize cannot be bought, nor picked up while happening by. It must be stalked, and cornered, and won.

Preparations

First, lay out a plan. Unless you are neutral, you will at some point need to travel to a hostile city, whatever faction you may be (unless you did one part and then changed factions). At the end, you will need to travel fast, from Omni Entertainment to Meetmedere to the Crypt of Home to West Athen to Omni Entertainment again, to Old Athen.

A Yalmaha would seem to be a good idea, but there are other ways. Engineer Beacon Warp can bring you to where ever the Engineer is. Another Fixer can Grid you in to certain locations, such as Omni Entertainment. And finally, and least useful in this particular situation, a Nanotechnician can teleport you to the main cities, probably your home city, saving a little bit of time getting through the regular Grid.

And you will need some Baksheesh to grease the wheels, of course. Everyone always wants a piece, in the dimly-lit, back-alley world of the Fixer. Seek out the nearest Luxury Shop. You are looking for the Toys and Curiosities terminal. Buy a A Leet Doll. The shop 'Tools 'n' Stuff' in Borealis sells this item.

Now buy a Nano Crystal (Instantaneous Encoding) from any Advanced General Shop, Nano section. Or two, if you do not have it or a better version. Sheesh.

The next part is the hard part of the preparation. A Bundle of Nano Tubes is required. It is best left up to you whether it is just the worst thing to have killed a zillion robots already for Dodga (First Clan Shoulderpads Quest) or Alvin (First Omni Shoulderpads Quest), and now you have to go do it again, or whether the worst is over, or whether there is just no such thing as too many, and the task of seeking out a medium-sized army of droids to destroy leaves you giddy with anticipation.

Ofoz: And a good day to you as well! Say.... If you happen to know a seasoned Fixer, ask him to drop by, I might have a business proposal for him if he is interested...

<Player Name>: I am a fixer.

Ofoz: Super! So, might I interest you with a little business venture? I happen to have something you would like.....and you have something I want badly as well. How about it, are you interested?

<Player Name>: I am interested.

Ofoz: And you look like you probably are able to finish the job as well. The deal is that you get access to some pretty neat places and what I get out of it... Well, I get all your money!

<Player Name>: Access to places?

Ofoz drops his voice to a conspiratory level and you are not sure if the theatricals are designed only to fool you into giving him your hard earned cash, or if he is genuinely worried about someone else hearing what he has to say.

Ofoz: There is a place only us fixers know about and which leads to different locations all around the world. If you have been to the Grid, you have witnessed something similar, but this one I am talking about takes the idea of a Grid to a new dimension...it is simply awesome. So, are you interested?

<Player Name>: Yeah..

Ofoz: It will cost you though...

<Player Name>: How much will it cost me?

Ofoz: Hand me 25000, and we are talking... Now, pay up so we can get this done, I don't have all day here.

Ofoz: Cool! Ok, here is the deal, you need to bring me some special components so that I can build a nano crystal that gives you access to this Grid we talked about, or should I rather say the initial version of that crystal. First of all, go to old Smokey and bring me one of them Polluted Instantaneous Encoding Crystals.

Mission: Find a "Polluted Instantaneous Encoding Crystal" and give it to Ofoz.


NanoCrystal (Hack Grid Data Stream)

This Nano Crystal is an example of both, the rule that crystals named NanoCrystal rather than Nano Crystal cannot be obtained in Missions from terminals, and the exception to the rule that such crystals can be obtained from Bosses in terminal missions and at Dyna Camps. There are other exceptions that break both these rules, so it is really best to consult another source, such as Kimi's Anarchy Online ClickSaver Rollability Facts
