Recommended Party: 6 x Level 20
First talk to Tosuka-Porika in the Optistery in windurst waters (G-8). Then go outside the optistery and down the stairs to the
Northeast of the building. Take the warp from Tonana (G-8) to windurst woods. Go see Nanaa Mihgo (J-3), and do the Glyph
Hanger quest for the Shakhrami Map before heading out if you haven't already.
Head to the Shakhrami Maze, which can be found at the very Northeast corner of Tahrongi Canyon (K-5). Once inside, go down
the tunnel until you reach a large room. This first room has bones, worms, and goblins.
The worms are not aggressive. Take the tunnel to the left. You will reach another large room. This room has worms, goblins, and
scorpions. The goblins and scorpions are aggressive. Follow the left wall until you come to two tunnels; take the one on the right
(G-6). You will reach a small opening, again stay to the left.
The next room you reach is the room you seek (H-5). There are several fossils in this room, but everyone in my group got the coral
from the same fossil. This fossil is to the far right between two pits. There are many mobs in this area such as maze scorpions and
some mean crawlers. I suggest taking at least a full solid group of levels 12-13. Having two white mages would not be a bad idea...
Now head back to Nanaa Mihgo in windurst woods (J-3). Before proceeding any further, I HIGHLY recommend completing this
quick and easy map quest. Then, head over to the Inner Horutoto Ruins in East Sarutabaruta (J-7).
Once inside, go through the cracked wall (G-8). You go to a new map at this point. Then go through the Mahogany Door (G-7).
NOTE: the Mahogany Door is not actually at these coordinates.
In fact, it is not on the map at all. But at these coordinates you will find the hallway that leads to the Mahogany Door.
After the cut scene, head to the "House of the Hero" in windurst walls (G-3). After the cut scene, go back to Tosuka-Porika to finish
the mission. |

Recommended Party: 6 x Level 20
After talking to the gate guard head to the Aurastery and talk to Moreno-Teono. The Minster wants to test his students in Taronghi
Canyon, but he needs a benchmark by which to compare his students to adventurers such as yourself.
You are to directed to Taronghi Canyon and exterminate as many monsters as you can in 1 hour.
This is a TIMED mission and you have to be quick getting there. Warp or Warp scroll is a good idea tohave.
Try to exterminate 30+ monsters in less then a hour AND make your way back to the Aurastery.
This is a cumulative mission - so more the merrier! In other words, having more people CANNOT hurt your chances in finishing this
quest on time. If you donate enough crystals you can skip this mission. |

Recommended Party: 6 x Level 25
This is a VERY Long quest and is divided into TWO parts that will VARY depending on WHICH one city you visted first. I suggest
completing either sub-job quest (from Vera, Mhaura OR Isacio, Selbina) before attempting this. Getting a Chocobo License and the
maps to Palborough Mines/Ghelsba/Giddeus is advised. In addition, the maps to all the main cities are a good idea.
After talking to the Gate Guard talk to Kupipi in Heaven's Tower (Windurst Walls). She will explain the mission.
You might want to start the "Rock Racketeer" quest from Windurst before leaving town. Bid a tearful good-bye to Windurst - you
won't be back for a long while.
Bastok - The Palborough Mines
The Windurstian embassy is located in the top of the Metal Works. Talk to the Ambassador to receive this part of the mission.
Then head to the President's office (K-8) to talk to Pius and learn the importance of the of Mythril Sand to the beastmen. Lastly, meet
up with Grohm in the Metalworks Craftsmen's Eatery where he will tell you the procedures and happenings in Palborough Mines.
Before heading out, you might want to buy some more "pickaxes" from in the item shop (H-7) in Bastok Mines.
In additon, buy a map of Palborough Mines in Bastok Markets.
Head off to Palborough Mines (North Gustaburg, K-3). After entering, go to I-8 and use the elevator to get to the 3rd floor.
Now head to I-9 on the map. You'll find a spot where you can do some digging. Trade the "pickaxe" to that spot.
You may fail a few times, so keep trying until you get some mine gravel. NOTE: this is the same spot for the "Rock Racketeer" quest.
After getting the item, go to the 2nd level to the middle of the map (I-6) by going around the right side of the map. You'll see a
machine with a lid and a lever. Trade the mine gravel you got to the lid, and then pull the lever. Continue the path to the left side of
the map, around and back to the area under the machine.
You'll see a lever there too. Pull it and receive an item. Go back to the embassy and trade that item to the Ambassador.
San D'oria - The Dragon
In Northern D'oria head to the Consulate of Windurst. First of all talk to be the Ambassador. You will be told to talk to Halver in
Chateau d'Oraguille. You will need a Ghelsba Outpost map. As well you might want to start "The General's Secret" quest from Curilla
(Temple Knights' Quarters, Chateau d'Oraguille) since the water is right by the end of this mission.
To prepare make sure you have a FULL party and you are ready to fight the dragon. If you have anyone over level 25 make sure
they have under level 25 equipment since they will de-level for the boss.
Head to Fort Ghelsba and go all the way to the top. There are some huts, behind which is a tunnel leading into the mountains. (You
can also get here from Yughott Grotto by hugging the wall to the left as soon as you enter Ghelsba). At Fort Ghelsba you need to
head into one of the huts at J-8 to get to the last area - another "Grotto".
Once you enter the top of the mountains there are two exits -- one to the burning circle and the other to the springs - "The General's
Secret" quest.
Prepare yourself and enter the burning circle. There are two monsters a floating eye and then the dragon.
Don't bother with buffs since the dragon will remove them all in the first few seconds. Kill the floating eye first, then the dragon.
Once done you are sitting in the springs. Heal up and head back to he Consulate of Windurst and pick up your Adventurers Letter.
Finally, battered but defiant, make your way back to Heaven's Tower in Windurst and to receive your well earned rewards.
Congratulations on RANK 3 and 3000gil! |
