You’re limited to six intel items per week, which can be exchanged with Katheryne for exclusive mini-quests. Strategic collection is key to maximizing your rewards.

Pro Hunting Tips
Start your intel gathering from the Adventurers’ Guild in Nasha Town—it’s your central hub with easy access to most NPCs. Many targets cluster around this area, letting you efficiently collect multiple intel pieces in one session.
Pay special attention to Valehti, who only spawns at night. Don’t waste a trip during daytime hours. Similarly, prioritize Dhabit and Zompaynco early, as their intel triggers valuable world quests that offer additional rewards beyond standard intel exchanges.
For vertical exploration, remember the lift behind Rossum Workshop. It provides quick access to second-floor NPCs like Kamenka, Viljami, and Dhabit, saving precious exploration time.
Maximizing Your Intel Strategy
With the six-per-week limitation, plan your collection deliberately. Focus on quest-unlocking NPCs first, then fill remaining slots with easily accessible targets. This approach ensures you’re making progress on storylines while efficiently gathering intel.
The Recorded Intel you collect becomes currency for Katheryne’s special commissions, offering unique rewards unavailable through standard gameplay. Think of it as Nefer’s exclusive reward path—your weekly intel collection directly translates to progression advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if I don’t use all six intel slots in a week?
A: Unused intel slots don’t carry over to the next week. You’ll lose those collection opportunities, so aim to gather all six weekly intel items to maximize your progression and quest unlocking potential.
Q: Can I collect intel from the same NPC multiple times?
A: Yes, but you’re still limited to six total intel items per week regardless of which NPCs you target. There’s no cooldown on individual NPCs, giving you flexibility in your collection strategy each week.
