In a purist Mercedes playthrough where one hits 200, the following things are (at least to me) forbidden (and I've done a few, so I'm automatically impure):
-Any Masteria involvement whatsoever. Since all of Masteria avoided the Black Mage's Big Bang (not to mention Mercedes' storyline doesn't even involve Masteria whatsoever), this automatically means it is taboo in a purist Mercedes to involve yourself with this particular continent.*
-Any World Tour content. Technically speaking, World Tour exists in a realm that is disconnected and disjointed from Maple World, both genre-wise and storywise.
-Not fighting the Black Wings (especially Orca). Skipping the storyline means you're just using Mercedes as a mule to get her EXP buff, and treat her as an Explorer not worth your devotion save getting that buff from her.
*Note: I did the first, so I can't be a purist in that sense - though that makes me at the very least 2/3rds purist Mercedes.
Explorers are free to ignore the aforementioned conditions, as they really don't have to be tied to any one storyline anyways (even Explorers are fighting the Black Mage simply because, well, they can and they want to. They aren't obligated to by any means.).
LOL I'm completely pure then, and there is no way in hell I'm ever going to NLC. I have an embarrassing fear of Haunted Mansion.
Those freaking flying doll heads!
