I haven't screamed so loud in my life.

Considering the numerous spreads of misinformation these quests were infamously known for people to overlook Frontier's entire background, explanations to clarify a gigantic number are absolutely necessary.
To put it in short, quests in Lv. 1000 shows everything a monster has in battle and is fairly manageable with average G Rank gear. But 9999 (Quad 9 to save some breath) on the other hand is nothing more but a trial where everything from a monster's health, defense, and attack, are set at the maximum level.
As you can clearly see, I did not know any better and only did this quest on impulse alone by the assumption that it would be like Lv. 1,000 but *slightly* harder. And I was more than just wrong. I was stupid thinking I'd stand a chance with using non maxed gear. You REALLY needed to be at the top of your game to clear a conquest monster at Lv. 9999.
Though if you succeeded, you'd obtain exclusive layered armor (Which looks amazing btw) and other useful gear.
In my opinion, conquest monsters at 9999 were challenges designed for masochism and only for players who really felt like going for it as a true test of their skill. And that certainly paid off for a lot of people. Especially with Solid Determination. They don't receive much credit more than they should, honestly.

Same audio taken to make the extension. (That's close to being my most viewed video somehow)
Back when I still sucked at this mode, lol.
And Luksus being a total badass by clutching everything.
This will probably blow up
