Talk to Phara, located in front of the Residential District in Bastok Mines. She will request some sword leather, which can be found in Davoi. When you reach Davoi, you will locate a Tent flap that randomly appears in K-9 or K-10. Two NM orcs, Gavotvut and Barakbok, will appear simultaneously; it is a good idea to have 2 tanks along for this battle. After defeating the pair, locate the Tent Flap again - it will have moved. Once you find it a second time, you will receive the sword leather. Return it to Phara, who will ask you to wait a full game day (1 hour earth time). At which point she will have you deliver the sword to her grandson, Naji who is right outside the President's Office in Metalworks, who will give you your reward.
Talk to Deidogg. Then go to Palborough and at G-10 look for a ???. Examine this to trigger Nickel'Ghu Nestfender to Spawn. He drops the Mottled Quadav Egg.

After that, go to Castle Oztroja and look for the Yagudo Parasite, who spawns around area H-9 on the third floor. It drops the Parasite Skin. Bring both items back to Deidogg for your reward.
After you talk to Deidogg, go to I-6 and talk to Detzo and then return and give a Ginger Cookie (crafted) to Deidogg. After that, head to Behemoth's Dominion. Look for a white bone around K-6 and investigate it. This triggers three named goblins to appear. I suggest you kill the White Mage, Doglix, first. Bring a lot of friends too.

After you kill the three goblins, a cut scene will happen that gives you the item you need to complete the quest.

The quest starts from Nanaa Mihgo in Windurst Woods (I think her loc is J-3). She tells you that the Tenshodo have contacted her to find skilled Thieves for a special job. After talking to her, you must go to the Tenshodo HQ in Lower Jeuno (need either the Tenshodo Membership quest done, or a Tenshodo Invite). Just inside the HQ, you talk to the first person there and it sends you into a cutscene where you and several other thieves are given envelopes and sent out to find old members of a legendary thieves band...your particular assignment is to find a Galka thief in Selbina. Search the town all you like, but you won't find him until you talk to the woman behind the counter at the hotel in Selbina.

Once you talk to the thief, he says he'll gladly sign your envelope if you prove yourself worthy by bringing him a Quadav Stew...these can only be STOLEN from some of the higher level Quadav, so you might as well head to Beadeaux. I know for certain that Garnet and Silver Quadav can have the stew stolen after you get this quest, I've also heard Bronze and Zircon Quadav drop it, but have not confirmed this. Anyways, you can literally stand by the zone, use a ranged weapon to pull the Quadav down, steal, and flee to the zone...even if you fail, you can just wait 5 minutes and try again. Once you get the stew, you go back to Selbina and trade the stew with the woman behind the counter of the hotel, and the Galka reappears. From there, just head back to Jeuno, talk to the same Tenshodo you talked to before for the cutscene, and enjoy the dialogue. When it finishes, you are awarded the Marauder's Knife
First start the quest as usual through Nanaa Mihgo who asks you to deliver two envolopes and get them signed again by 2 thieves from Atalbartles Rogue Gang. Her lackies tell you there are in Sauromugue and the Goblin Shop in Lower Jeuno.

First head to any of the towers in Sauromugue, they all have a ??? point which will summon the goblin NM Climbpix Highrise. Suggested party is 1 PLD, 2 WHM, 2 BLM, and yourself(50-52+). Climpbix is a THF type with massive evasion, melees can't bring much to this fight, and he hits pretty hard. After killing him lot on the Grapnel and get it. While any tower can spawn Climpbix ONLY the tower at the border of I-7 and J-7 (??? is on I-7 side) can the Grapnel be used. Go there and trade the grapnel to the spot after stripping yourself down naked. (take off all belongs or it won't go) A Taru thief will take the grapnel away and sign the first letter.

Now head to Gutvik's Goods in Lower Jeuno and talk to Sniggnix in the middle hallway. Win him in dice and he'll send you to Dangruf Wadi to meet the Dangruf Trio. Go to Dangruf with at least 1-2 of each of the following: Rock Salt, Lizard Egg, Gaussbit Grass. First trade the Rock Salt to the ??? point in F-7 and win the goblin Saltnix. Next head to F-4 and trade the Gaussbit grass to the ??? point and beat Grasslix. Finally head to F-11/G-11 and look for a fake wall. Walk through it to see a Cermet Door and hole in the ground. Fall down the hole and head left. Trade the Lizard egg to the ??? and lastly best Eggvix.

Now you need to go to the North Gustaberg exit of Dangruf and enter out into the Drachen Falls Ravine. Head straight and do not stray across the bridge. I suggest killing everything in sight for TP, you'll need it. At the end you'll find yet one more ??? to touch. Make sure team is ready to go and click it, Gamblivix Wanderling will pop, kill her and go touch the ??? spot for the Regal Die. A scene will ensue. Suggested party for Gamblivix is 1 PLD, 2 WHM, 1 BLM, 1 THF (you), and 1 DRG. Make sure you have Barfira at all times and try to have the PLD Bash away at least 1 or 2 bombs for Gamblix loves to toss them. In a 4 minute fight she tossed 6. Have your BLM use Tornado then get Cover from PLD, have the DRG burn Penta-thrust as much as possible, you want to kill it as fast as humanly possible.

With the Regal Die in hand (it's an item, have inv space) go back to Gutvik's Goods and trade it to Sniggix. He'll call the other THF for you. Once done with the scene return to Nanaa Mihgo to get your Rogue's Bonnet(junk) in Windurst Woods. Send a correction
First thing to do is talk to Naana Mihgo after you complete "thick as theives" she tells you to go talk to a guy in Lower Jeuno and Mhaura. The guy in jeuno wants 4 grenede bombs which can be bought in AH, I paid 4k each. The guy in Mhaura wants you to kill a NM bomb in Garliage and bring back the NM drop. There is ???'s all over Garliage, you need to find 7 of them and goto each one in the proper order it tells you which is next) dont worry if u do one out of order because it wont do anything and you WONT have to start over, you will get a cutscene after you touch each ???. On the 7th, the bomb appears, kill it and lot its drop. a single PT of 55+ can do the bomb.

I didnt mark down the exact locations of the ???'s but they're easy enough to find, they are all located at intersections in Garliage where it is a dead end, you cant miss it. Just be sure to pay attention to the cutscene after you touch the first ??? as it will tell you if the next spot is North, east, west or south.

When finished go back to Naana Mihgo in windurst and she sends you to ordelle caves to find a ??? and your reward. You need a pickaxe for this ??? so make sure to have one. Head to Ordelle and head inside to where the stropper chymes and chest key mobs spawn, there is an exit on this map, take the exit because the ??? is actually in la thein plateau. The ??? is straight ahead 15 seconds after you zone out of ordelle, use the pickaxe on it and you get the very nice thf boots.
-After you receive the quest from Guslam go to Monastic cavern and get the Coffer key then use it on the coffer chest to receive �some old gauntlets� key item.

- After you received the old gauntlets, return to Guslam who says the gauntlets are work of Borghertz. But he cannot repair them.

- You then have to go speak to �Yin Pocanakhu� in the Tenshodo shop in Lower Jeuno who talks about a toolbox that won�t open. You have to pay her 1000gil to tell you where the toolbox is at.

Talk to Sharzalion, who is at the bar in the tavern in South San o'Dria. If you're a level 40+ Red Mage, he'll give you the quest and tell you he wants some orcish food.

Go to Davoi and head to E-10 (this is close to the well for the last part of the Paladin flag quest which is found at E-9, if you want to kill two birds with one stone). Use the waterways to E-10 if you want to avoid getting attacked very much on your way there. When you reach E-10, kill all the nearby orcs and trigger Purpleflesh Brukdok to spawn by selecting the ??? (or have your tank do it).

Brukdok is a black mage orc who I believe is about level 45. Kill him. He drops the Davoi Storage Key.

Next you have to find a "storage hole" to trade your key to, to receive the key item "Dried orcish food". There are multiple locations about Davoi where the storage hole might spawn. A few locations are near the entrance to Jugner Forest, some are in the deeper parts of the zone, and a couple are on the center island which would require that you pass through the dangerous Monastic Caverns to reach. The storage holes are like mining points, logging points, ect in that they are basically impossible to detect by sight, so run around switching between targets and hope you find it. If you can't find the hole after a thorough sweep through the area, I would recommend calling it quits and coming back another day (or in a few hours) and hoping that then it will be at an easier location, or else there's a good chance you'll need Chainspell and Warp to get yourself out alive when you have to drop invisibility to get the food out of the hole (if you even make it that far).

After you acquire the orcish food, go back to Sharzalion, listen to his story and receive your new handsome new sword.
First, buy some velvet at your local AH, they are not too expensive.

Then head to Curilla in the Chateau. If you are a 50+ RDM and have completed the fencing degen quest, this opens the RDM AF2 to you. She gives you the key item "Old watch" (not a tangible item, it cannot be traded or dropped). She says that she believes it is a blessed watch of her father's, and wants you to visit the San D'Oria church in order to see if this is true.

Enter the church and head to the basement where a priest is praying in front of a large piano. He'll ask you to fetch him some velvet. Trade the velvet you bought at the AH to him and this opens a cutscene with Curilla's father's ghost. After the cutscene, you receive the key item "Old boots." Go back to Curilla after this scene and then head to Crawler's Nest.

You just need a regular "Crawler's Nest Treasure key." Mushuusu drops this, but so do a large amount of other mobs (exorays, damselflies, rumble crawlers to name a few). Once you get a key, trade it to a regular treasure chest. The chests spawn all over Crawler's, but they have a large number of spawn areas in the large room where many people hunt Soldier Crawlers and Damselflies. I got mine in this area.

Once you open the chest and get "Crawler blood" head to the large room with maze lizards towards the entrance of the zone, the one with many tunnels connecting to it. Head down the second tunnel to the right and run past the Doom Scorpion to (I-10) where there is a ??? in a very bright area. Sometimes Soldier Crawlers roam here, but sneak does not fade when clicking the ??? so you dont have to kill them.

Wait until past midnight japan time and click on the ??? again. You will receive your Warlock's Boots.
Requirements: Must be a Red Mage of Level 50 +; Must have completed "The Crimson Ordeal" and "One Who Dwells in Darkness".

The quest, again begins with Curilla in Chateau d'Oraguille. She will ask you to continue your investigation on what had happened to Raimenard, her father. From there, go to Sharzalion in South San d'Oria again, and he will tell you, that the only way to speak with a spirit that he knows of, is too dangerous. This however does not stop his friend behind the bar from telling you how to do it, because he wants to hear a good story! You will be told that the only way is to throw an old coin into the Fountain in the ruins of Fei'Yin. Fei'Yin is located far to the North, at the Northern end of the Beaucidine Glacier. Once there, proceed north until you get to the large, central Fountain Room, which is at (H-8) on the first floor. In this room, there is a Notorious Monster named Miser Murphy. He spawns, every time a Red Mage that is at that point in the quest enters that room. (If you are going to kill him enough times for every Red Mage, make sure they all are at that point in the quest, or else he will stop spawning). Miser Murphy is about level 60ish, is a normal Ghost style monster, and is doable with about 6-12 level 56+. He is not very difficult, but can be rather.... obnoxious. Also watch your levels... the room is full of Revenants and Clockwork Pods which you do not want them to agro you. When you kill Miser Murphy, he drops an Ancient Coin. Trade the coin to the point at the North end of the fountain, also in (H-8). You will be treated to another event.

After the event, return to Sharzalion and tell him what you saw. Then speak with his friend behind the bar again. You will be told, that they can not help you further, but maybe one of the other patrons can. If you speak to the Galka in the same bar, he will tell you, that while he was exploring Garlaige Citidel, that he came upon a strange box, that he was unable to open, however with a Nail Puller, you may be able to open it.

Now, head to Garlaige Citidel, bring alot of friends with you for this though, as this part can be rough. Immediately behind the first Banishing Gate, in the rooms right there, you will find an Oaken Box. Clear all the Undead from those rooms before you examine it though. When you do, Guardian Statue will spawn. It is recomended to have about 18 Level 55's or about 12 Level 60s for this part. Guardian Statue is a "Doll" type model, it CAN explode like a bomb, but I don't recall seeing this one do so. It also has an AE attack that does about 200-300 damage to everyone around. When it is dead, it will drop a "Nail Puller", trade this to the Oaken Box, and you will see yet another event. Return to North San d'Oria at this point. As soon as you enter North San d'Oria, you will witness another event, complete the quest, and receive your Chapaou. Also, for an added bonus, you get the new title "Paragon of Red Mage Excellence".

After talking to Narcheral in North San d'Oria, head to Valkurn Dunes and look for a ??? around B-8. The one on the wall near to the bard ruins is the one you want. Click on it and a Marchelute will appear, but only at night. Defeat it and it will drop a Tavnazia Pass. Bring that back for your reward.
You must have completed WHM AF1-1 for the Blessed Hammer.

Start this quest by opening the southern door in Chateau d'Oraguille at (H-8) in the lower left hand corner.

Go into the Chateau and knock on Prince Pieuje's chamber doors to start the cut scene. You will be asked to obtain the Yagudo Holy Water and a pair of Moccasins.

Go to Castle Oztroja which is in Meriphataud Mountains and kill the Yagudo Abbotts to get this. Then get Moccasins either by making them or buying them. Bring them to Narcheral (M-6)in the chapel in North San d'Oria to receive the Healer's Duckbills.
You must have completed the WHM AF1-1 quest for the Blessed Hammer.

In the Chateau head to Prince Pieuje's chambers and knock on the door. A cut scene will begin and at the end, you will be asked to obtain a Tavnazia Bell.

Kill Dark Stalkers in Eldieme until one drops a Tavnazia Bell. Take that to Fei'Yin in the Beaucedine Glacier. It is recommended you get a Map of the Northlands in the Queen's garden in the Chateau, which requires a Derfland Humus. (can be bought at Auction House) You will get another cut scene when you enter Fei'Yin.

Cast Stoneskin on yourself and trade the bell to the ???. This triggers a mob to spawn. As with all the other WHM mobs, he does Dimensional Death, so keep your main tank at full health at all times. Kill him and take the Tavnazia Mask to Narcheral in North San d'Oria for the Healer's Brialt.

Once you have attained level 40 with you Black Mage, head over to Windurst Walls and enter Heaven's Tower. Head to the left (not the doors where you ascend the staircase to the Star Sybil) and follow it all the way down until it ends and you see the NPC Chumimi. Once you talk to Chumimi a cutscene will play where Shantotto, Koru-Moru, and Yoran-Oran will enter and argue over who is right in diagnosing the problem with the baby Star Trees. Most it is really funny ("Watch it, or I'll turn you into a pair of dirty underwear!") but none of the doctors will agree.

It doesn't matter with whom you agree, as the message "No one paid any attention to you." will be displayed. Then, Koru-Moru and Yoran-Oran go off themselves to perform what they believe will fix the problem, but Shantotto will turn to you. After calling you a total loser, she'll then ask you to go toss a Faded Crystal into the gorge in Xarcabard, and bring back a Glowstone, as she thinks that the lighting is the root of the problem.

Prepare yourself for your journey, then grab any type of crystal that you don't need. Most will choose either a Water or Earth crystal, as they're the cheapest. Travel to *ANY* crag (Holla, Mea, or Dem) or any telepoint crystal (Altepa, Vahzl, Yhoat) and trade the crystal that you have chosen to the telepoint crystal. The message "The crystal was drained of all energy." will be displayed and you will receive a Faded Crystal. This is the easiest part of the journey, and it's rocky from here out.

Assuming that you have never been to Xarcabard, you will have to travel through the Ranguemont Pass, and through Beaucedine Glacier. Inside the glacier go northwest towards Xarcabard. Obviously, having a map helps and the Northern Regions map is really easy to get (See "Her Majesty's Garden," Chateau d'Oraguille).

Welcome to Xarcabard, one of the most beautifully designed places of the game. The 'Northern Lights' you see here are just icing on the cake. However, it's just as deadly as it is pretty to look at, so be warned. Expect Demons, Dragons (Yes, I said Dragons), Ahrimans, Evil Weapons, Skeletons, and many other high level monsters that will give you a run for your money. This won't be a cakewalk, so come prepared.

You need to head west to E-8. Whether or not you have your map, you really only have to head west. You want to be on the middle of the west side of E-8 (i.e. middle of the left side of the box on the map). There are two "???" here, and the one that's inside the gorge surrounded by the lights is the one you want. You do not want the one that's on a cliff with the torch.

Try to clear out the surrounding demons, and trade the Faded Rock to the "???" and a Chaos Elemental will appear. It is a Light Elemental based NM, so most Black Magic spells will extreme damage to it. It is actually the easiest fight you will engage in while you are in Xarcabard. However, if you call upon it and run, it will eventually go back into the gorge and you will need another Faded Crystal to call upon it again.

Once the fight is over the monster will drop a Glowstone. Make sure everyone that's not here on BLM AF1 passes. Get the Glowstone then go back to Windurst Walls. Enter Heaven's Tower and approach Chumimi again. Trade the Glowstone to Chumimi and you will be thanked for your service. Chumimi will say that Shantotto left the Casting Wand for you, though she probably wants you to do something else for her.
You are asked to go to Jeuno at the request of the 2 doctor's investigating what is happening with the Star Tree.

When you get to Jeuno Ru'Lude Gardens, talk to Latyin.

Then you are asked to go to Crawler's Nest and kill a Water Elemental. You need to find a "Bag of Seeds". It seems the Water Elementals in CN ALWAYS drop these.

After you get the bag, go back Windhurst Walls and give it to Chumimi.

Then go to Zvahl Castle Bailey, kill a demon and get the "Whine Cellar Key".

Bring the key to Castle Zvahl Keep and use it at the "Ore Door".
After talking to Chumimi and seeing a cutscene, you must trade a Silk Cloth to Koru-Moru in Windurst Walls. He will then give you a magic doll (key item).

Go into Toraimarai Canal (and make sure you have Sneak). You must investigate a ??? at H-7. Then head to I-9 and activate Manafont. While Manafont is active, examine the ??? at I-9. The doll will tell you it senses a powerful magic force nearby.

At that point, go to the room at J-8. If you examine it, an NM elemental called Magic Sludge will show up. Being a Dark Elemental NM, it'll bombard your party with spells like Bio III. When it's dead, all BLM's in party with this quest can go back to Chumimi to finish the quest.

Note: You can back away after spawning the elemental if the party isn't ready to fight it. It will disappear after awhile if not engaged in battle.

Talk to Raibaht and he will send you to talk with Mighty Fist in the Dark Steel Forge in Bastok Metalworks. Then you need to go speak to Cochal Monchal in the Optistary in Windurst Waters to get a recipe. You are informed that the book with the Darksteel Formula was stolen by a Yagudo named Huja the Erudite. Go to Giddeus to get the book which talks about making a Cherry. Make one and trade it to the ??? that appears at H-14. That triggers Huja the Erudite to spawn. Kill him and loot him and bring that back for your reward.
You must have completed the Dark Knight AF1-1 quest for the Raven Scythe in order to receive this quest.

You talk to Cid, and he makes comments about the Darksteel Formula you found from doing Dark Knight AF1. Raibaht then comes up and says that Zeid sent a letter to Cid. Zeid's letter to Cid reports him finding one of the weapons forged by Gerwitz, the legendary darksteel smith...but it has taken the form of an evil weapon. You must meet Zeid and help him with his task.

At this point, if you're going to go do the quest, make sure to bring a Darksteel Ingot with you.

Note: All Dark Knights in your party can do the quest at once, so if you have 5 that need to do it, they can all pitch in and get 1 Darksteel Ignot.

You go to Ordelle's Caves, and as you zone in you'll get a cutscene where Zeid comes up to you and tells you that a Merchant who had been in the caves was attacked by Gerwitz's Axe. At the time he was carrying a Darksteel Ingot for Synthing and you should check it out.

At this point, on the first map (the one you are currently on) go to H-12, and fall down the hole. This will put you on a ledge at H-12 on the third map. You should be right next to a ??? in the corner where you fell. Buff up and get ready.

When you're ready, trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? and Gerwitz's Axe will spawn. It is around level 50, but not overly hard. He uses Mighty Strikes. He will then drop Gerwitz's Axe. Have the Darksteel Ingot user lot on it and get into his inventory.

After this, you go to the east, and you will find a passage way leading up onto the second map of Ordelle's Caves. Make your way down to H-8 and you'll find another ???. When the party is ready, trade Gerwitz's Axe to the ??? and it will spawn Gerwitz's Sword. This will cause Gerwitz's Sword to drop.

The final ??? is in H-10 on the same map, in the small square room at the south end of the map. When you're buffed, and everyone has 300% TP, trade Gerwitz's Sword to the ???. This will spawn Gerwitz's Soul, a Ghost NM around 54.

Congratulations! You're done! All you have to do is take the exit to La Theine Plateau from the same map at G-10, and you'll get a Cutscene between Gerwitz, yourself, and Zeid. When the scene is over with, you'll receive your Chaos Sollerets!

This paves the way to get DRK AF3 quest: Blade Of Evil. To get this quest, go to Beadeaux and as you zone, you will get a cutscene where Zeid explains what you need to do.
First of all, head to Beadeaux. A cutscene should occur where Zeid will tell you that the Power of Darkness is starting to get out of control.

You need to collect one piece of strong Quadav's Blood. These are dropped of Topaz Quadavs in the same area. Note that if you are more than one Dark Knight doing this quest, you only need one piece of this blood and everyone will receieve their AF after the 3 NM's have been defeated.

Once the blood has been aqcuired, head to Delfkutt's Tower. and on the Seventh Floor you use the teleporter at J-6.

You should now end up in a small circle room at Sixth floor (J-6 again).

Buff up and be prepared for a tough fight. It is not easy and without proper planning it may be a very nasty fight.

There is a ??? which you trade in your Quadav Blood.

The strategy we used was this: Have 3 designated tanks. One pulling away each skeleton as far away as possible. It is important that you do not engage these in the beginning since their AoE of HP drain would most likely be a disaster. Head for the Weapon first and try to kill it as soon as possible. Once the Weapon is defeated start picking on one of the skeletons at a time.

It is also very riscy to trade in the blood. Your HP can go down very fast. Make sure that the healers are alert and cure this person up before the tank can get the hate.

Once all 3 mobs are defeated. Use the same teleport you used as when you came in and after this you will get a cutscene and the reward.

Jaucribaix asks you to bring him the mumieto he gave you when you became a Samurai and a handfull of crystal scales. To get the scales you need to find a "Sack of Fishbait" droped by Goblin Robbers in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah. Once you have the sack you go to a lake in the north area of Zi'Tah. There is a ??? there, trade the sack of fishbait to the ??? and it will spawn a pugil like fish. Its a pretty hard monster, my lvl 69 samurai escort and I were barely able to defeat it and he was pretty hopped up on food. After you defeat the fish examine the ??? again to recieve the scales, go back to Norg and trade the mumieto to Jaucribaix and he will give you your new sword.

Additional info:

1. The "Sack of Fishbait" is dropped ONLY by Goblin Robbers in Zi'Tah, nowhere else.

2. The ??? is located at E-8 on the map.

3. ONLY people who have the quest flagged can get the key item "Handful of Crystal Scales" from the ??? after defeating Isonade.

4. I would recommend either high level help, or at minimum a balanced party of mid-40's. Getting through the sanctuary is tedious without high level back-up, and Isonade is pretty tough.

5. You will need to clear out the Coeurls and Hell Hounds before fighting the fish.

6. If by chance you tossed the Mumeito, Jaucribaix will sell you another one for 30,000 gil AFTER you have accepted the quest.
First, head out to Norg and talk to Jaucribaix (You know, the guy you�ve been visiting for Samurai quests for awhile now). He�ll mention that a sacred ritual to guide the lost spirits of the dead is needed, but that he�s missing a key item. That item is a feather from a special bird, found only in the Labyrinth of Onzozo. He�ll tell you to talk to his cook, Washu, in order to obtain something that can lure the bird out. Go talk to Washu (Down the hallway from Jaucribaix, first door on the right), and she�ll mention that she�s out of ingredients. She asks you to bring her a Piece of Giant Sheep�s Meat, a Frost Turnip, a Bastore Sardine, and a Hecteyes� Eye. Bring her all four ingredients, and she�ll give you the special stew needed to lure the bird out.

Now, things get tricky. Head out to Buburimu Peninsula, and go to the dunes that are labeled on your map in the upper right hand corner. Near the top of the dunes (along the actual shoreline) is a cave: this is the entrance to Onzozo. Now be warned, this place is insanely difficult, especially at the level you�ll want the AF Armor. I went at about Level 51, and nothing there was less than �Decent Challenge.� Sneak and Invisible and Deodorize are recommended. Get a lot of help for this one. Stick to the left wall all the way until you see a hut, similar to the �Ghoul huts� found in Shakhrami Maze. There should be a ??? there at (F-8). Simply go up to it (it�s usually surrounded by Goblins), select it, and it will give you the option to lay down the special food you were given to lure out the bird. Choose yes, but be warned, you have a tough fight ahead of you. A party of LVL 60�s can take it out, or perhaps a full alliance of 50�s (don�t take my word on that, though). One level 75 Paladin can take it out, that�s for sure. Once you deposit the food at that ??? spot, an Ubume will pop up. This Notorious Monster bird looks like an ostrich, and is (supposedly) a Thief / Bard. It WILL cast Horde Lullaby, so be careful to keep all mages out of range of that. The Horde Lullaby is directed in front of it, so have your main tank stay there while everyone else is behind. It rarely used any Area of Effect attacks, but nevertheless, be careful. It still has them. Once you�ve defeated the Ubume, re-inspect that ??? spot and you will obtain the feather you need for a key item.

Return to Norg with the feather, and speak with Jaucribaix. He will accept the feather, and if you try to talk to him again he�ll say something along the lines of, �Do not rush me! I must concentrate!� Speak to him again in 24 Hours Real Time (1 Day). He will say that he has finally forged the katana, which he named the Yomotsu Hirasaka, for the ritual (you�ll receive this as a key item, not a weapon). He�ll ask you to take it to the �secret beach� in Valkurm Dunes. Travel to the Dunes, and head to the beach in the upper Northwest corner of the map (a tunnel not shown on the map leads to it). If you�ve ever done the Bard quest, or if you�ve ever visited Gustav Tunnel, then you�ll know that the beach is near there. Once you arrive at the beach, search the shoreline for a ??? spot. Wait until nightfall (20:00 � 4:00), and click the spot and choose to initiate the ritual. BE WARNED: Two VERY hard Notorious Monsters are going to spawn. A very dark, very spooky undead Elvaan will spawn (I forget his name), as well as an Onryo (a very, very high level NM in the same family as Bogies, Banshees, and Revenants). I had a Level 75 Samurai/Warrior and a Level 73 Paladin helping me, and the Samurai iced the Elvaan in under 15 seconds with a few Penta Thrusts. BE WARNED: The Onryo has an Area of Effect attack which inflicts �Curse.� This is a BAD status effect, it lowers your max HP, max MP, and your running speed. If you plan on doing this in your 50�s, you�ll very well likely need a full alliance of 55�s to take these�maybe more? Anyways, after defeating both NMs, re-inspect the ??? spot to get a Faded Yomotsu Hirasaka (Key Item). Take this back to Norg, talk to Jaucribaix again, and you�ll receive the boots!
This quest is quite long, and requires speaking with Jaucribaix after you finish SAM AF2

He will send you to Gilgamesh who will tell you that a sacred helm, the Myochin Kabuto, had been stolen. A demon was trapped in the helm and he needs to get it back before the seal placed on the helm is inadvertently broken by the thief. Gilgamesh asks that you to seek out his operatives and assist in the recovery of the helm. He does not tell you where or who his operatives are however, requiring you find them on your own.

Phase 1: Find Sanosuke at the Duty Free Shop in Port Jeuno (near Auction House). Sanosuke will say that he heard reports of a man wearing a strange helmet leaving San d`Oria in the direction of Jeuno but that he could not find this man in the Jeuno region. He think that he may have gone in another direction. If you look at your region map it�s not too hard to guess that the thief may have instead gone on the ferry in Selbina.

Phase 2: Find the tarutaru Phoochuchu in Mhaura (she wears Jujitsu Gi). She will tell you that the thief was a regular customer at the inn in Mhaura and he had mysteriously disappeared at the time of the theft. Speak with her again and she will tell you that the thief has been tracked to Bastok and that there is an operative there tracking him down.

Phase 3: Go to the lower road in Bastok Mines and open the door at (J-6) and a cutscene will occur. The operative has discovered that the thief has been hiding out in the Palborough Mines. He will then ask you to help him investigate the mines.

Phase 4: Head to the Waughroon Shrine in the Palborough Mines for another cutscene. The operative has been fatally woundeded but before he dies he warns you that the seal on the helm is broken. He asks that you report this to Gilgamesh.

Phase 5: Go back to Norg and report what happened to Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh will hand you a Banishing Charm (RARE EX) and instruct you to toss it into the burning circle in Waughroon.

Phase 6: Assemble a strong PT of at least level 60 and return to Waughroon. Trade your Banishing Charm to the Burning Circle to start the event. You will see a cutscene of the thief being overpowered by the helm and the demons breaking loose. A Burning Circle battle commences.

Battle: You must kill the 3 demon NM's (Ransetsu, Gaki, Onki, plus Onki's summon) within a 30 minute time limit. It is a very difficult fight so come prepared for the battle. Neither Sleep nor Silence will affect the demons. You can put the elemental to Sleep however. Be sure to use Warding Circle immediatelyto give your party an edge during the critical first moments of the battle. Gaki likes to cast Flare and other devastating magic spells (and will use Manafont). Kill him immediately since you can�t silence him. Rasetsu will use Blood Weapon & Onki may use his Astral Flow. Make use of your 2-hour abilities in this battle.

After the 3 demons are slain you�ll see another cutscene. A ninja named Ren will drop in to clean up the mess and hands you the �Charred Helm� (a key item).

Phase 7: Bring the Charred Helm to Jaucribaux. He will lament at the condition of the helm and go on to ask for your assistance in fixing it. He has all that he requires right there in Norg except for a length of Gold Thread. Acquire a Gold Thread and bring it back to Jaucribaux (you can get it at the Weaver's Guild in Windurst). Once you give Jaucribaux the Gold Thread he needs, Gilgamesh will reward your efforts with the newly repaired Myochin Kabuto.
> - After you receive the quest from Guslam go to Kuftal Tunnel and get the Coffer key then use it on the coffer chest to receive �some old gauntlets� key item.

- After you received the old gauntlets, return to Guslam who says the gauntlets are work of Borghertz. But he cannot repair them.

- You then have to go speak to �Yin Pocanakhu� in the Tenshodo shop in Lower Jeuno who talks about a toolbox that won�t open. You have to pay her 1000gil to tell you where the toolbox is at.

Take the airship to Kazham, and chocobo to Norg.

Once in Norg, speak with Ryoma. A cutscene ensues. Next, you'll head to Bastok. To save time, I'd recommend changing jobs and dying to get back to Jeuno to find a Teleport or if you are already Rank 5, your handy airship pass will get you there even faster.

Proceed to Port Bastok and find Kagetora in Warehouse #2, just across from the Airship dock. Speak with him and he will send you off to find Ensetsu. Ensetsu is located (the coordinates are I-5) just northeast of the warehouse. There are two houses up the first stairs to the north when you are running east, it is the house set farther back (more to the north).

Find him and more of the story unfolds. You are then charged with heading to Altepa Desert to investigate.

From here, you can head to Altepa through Korroloka Tunnels in Bastok, or you can choose to get a teleport if you already have the Altepa crystal.

You will head to H-6, which is a small culdesac with a couple plants. Make sure to clear the area of any beetles/dhalmels.

Find the ??? and when your ensemble is ready, examine it.

Two spider NMs appear. I was lvl 42 when I did this, and was accompanied by two 50+ characters. The fight was quick, but if you go with several lvl 40ish ppl, be prepared for a tough fight, especially with keeping hate off the mages.

After you slay the NMs, you will receive a key item called a Trick Box.

Return to Norg and speak with Ryoma to receive your two AF1 katanas!
First you'll want to trek to Norg and speak with Ryoma. He will give you the quest and tell you to track down Ensetsu. Head to Bastok and speak with Ensetsu (Port Bastok).

Ensetsu will tell of a new player in the story, Leodarion, who resides in Rabao. Stop at Jeuno or look in the Bastok AH before you leave town for a Oak Pole, a 1H lvl 39 WHM staff. You will need this for when you head to Rabao.

Head to Rabao and find Leodarion. Once you speak with him he will ask you for the Oak Pole. Give it to him and then you must wait until the next Vanadiel day before you may speak to him again. He will give you a key item and tell you to head to Mhaura.

Warning: You're going to want some friends for this part, preferably HIGH level to watch your back. The NM fight is not difficult, but the SEA HORROR that pops on deck is brutal; should you aggro it during the fight, you will be toast. You will need a minimum of 3 lvl 60+ ppl for the NM fight.

In Mhaura, catch the boat at midnight. Once you have departed, head onto the deck and a NM Ghost will be there to confront you. Defeat it and Leodarion will meet you when the ship docks, giving you your Ninja Hakama!

Talk to Mertaire and then head to Rangemont Pass. Look for the ??? and click on it. This will trigger Tros to spawn. Kill him and then investigate the ??? again. This will get you the item you need.
1. Talk to Bki Tbujhja.

2. Trade a flask of holy water to the Mithra in the Tavern.

3. Teleport to Vazhl and walk to the exit to Batallia located in the Beaucedine Glacier. From Batallia, you'll see an entrance to Eldieme.

4. Cast Sneak and go down the stairs and turn left on the first intersection. You will find a room with 5 Sarcophogus. Inside you will find some ghost-form monsters called Blood Souls. Clear that room and be careful with their AOE Curse. WHM with Cursna is mandatory if you are to avoid trouble. Kill any hounds behind that room too to avoid adds.

5: Bard gets Sneak, trades the flask of holy water to one of the sarcophagus and runs back to the group so that you can pull one by one. Careful with Hell Slash and AOEs. Kill the minions first if possible; it seems to be a time-triggered event.
Imasuke is an antique collector. He gives you a ring to investigate. Take it first to Xarcabard and bury it at I-10 and then wait a day and dig it back up again. Then take it to Chalvato at San D'oria Castle.

He sends you to Davoi to an alter at J-8. Investigate the alter and the Ghost Bugaboo appears. Kill it and loot it to complete the quest.

First do the Father and Son quest and make sure to give the fishing pole back to the son. Then, after talking with Ailbeche again, head to Ordelles and look for a stalagmite around H-10 of the first level. This triggers the spawn of Polevik, who drops what you need to complete the quest.
After getting the quest from Ailbeche, go talk to Ailbeche's father, Exorache. He is in armor shop in South San d'Oria. Then go back to Ailbeche talk to him again. He wants you to get a 'Giant shell bug' (fishing bait) from Crawler's Nest. The NM crawler can be found around H-9 by talking to ???. I couldn't really measure up the strength of the NM because I had bunch of high levels helping me.

But I heard from another player that a full party of level 52 will suffice. However be safe than sorry. After you kill NM crawler you'll obtain 2-3 'Giant Shell bug'. You should keep them all or at least 2 since you might lose the catch when you try to fish.

You can skip this part if you have enough Gil and if the item is available in auction house. Yes, this item can be bought.

After you get item, you MUST go back to Ailbeche and trade him the bait. If you don't, and you don't have bait anymore after the fish fight, you have to get the bait again in order to get the quest going.

So make sure you trade the Bait with Ailbeche after you get it.

After that he'll tell you you can catch big one in Castle Oztroja. Find the pond where there are Oozes roaming around at H-9. You should clear the area because they will aggro when you're in fight.

Kill Oozes to save up TP too. From what I gathered, fishing skill level doesn't matter. However my fishing skill was at 28. I used mithran fishing rod. I think any rod that is designed for big fishes should be ok.

Equip the 'Giant Shell Bug' along with rod and fish in the pond. It's a pretty tough fish and I also had high levels helping me so I couldn't really measure up its strength.

From other web sites, I found out that full PT of level 55 will suffice. After the fight, the fish will drop 'Odontotyrannus'. Take the item and go back to Ailbeche and trade with him. He'll then tell you to go to Selbina to cut open its belly and obtain the treasure. In Selbina trade the item with Zaldon, he is in Fishing guild. He'll give you 'A Knight's Boots' key item. Now go back to North San d'Oria, go to Chateau d'Oraguille and go to Prince Trion's room. He'll then reward you with 'Gallant Leggings'.
San d'Oria
You can start the quest at 50 once you must have completed AF2 (Gallant Leggings). Start out by heading to Chateau d'Oraguille and go to Prince Trion's chambers. After the cutscene, you need to head to South San d'Oria and talk to Vemalpeau (M-7), who lives inside a small house. Once you talk to him, head on over to the Lion Spring's Tavern and talk to Najjar. Next, head to Count Caffaule's Manor (C-6) and talk to Ullassa. Ullassa will tell you about Mique's Paintbrush (name will appear in purple-blue, the color for key items). Once you see the reference to the paintbrush, you are flagged and can go key hunting.

Castle Zvhal Baileys
The top left map is the 1st Map, below (bottom left) is the 2nd Map and the 3rd Map is the one in the upper right corner. You are mainly interested in maps 2 and 3.

You start at J-8 on map 1. Follow the main hallway until you reach the 1st intersection at G-8. Go north at the intersection and follow the small hallway until you reach a set of stairs leading down (Note that you can go South at the intersection if you wish, you will eventually reach the 2nd Map all the same).

Go down the stairs and turn to your left (South), follow the hallway on a SW direction until you reach the tunnel that leads to the 2nd map.

You enter the 2nd map on I-8. What you want to note here are the 4 round holes located at G-6 (southern portion), H/I-6, G-9 and H/I-9.

You can follow the hallway straight to the end, and then go up the set of stairs. You will then be able to look down the NE hole (H/I-6). From here you also have access to the other holes.

-= Camp 1 =-

If you approach the edge of the hole and look down, you will notice that there are 3 ledges sticking (like platforms) and then the bottom floor. The bottom floor is populated by Demon Generals (L57-59), Demon Magistrates (L57-59) and Demon Commanders (L57-59). You do not want to drop down to the bottom floor just yet. Instead, align yourself to the ledge/platform which looks to be the highest of the 3, and drop down.

You will now be on the 3rd map, and behind you will be a small hallway that leads into one of the 4 square rooms on the 3rd map (F6, I/J-6, F-9/10, I/J-9). This is where the mobs that drop the keys are located. In the hallway you will usually find Ahriman's (L63-65) and in the big rooms you will find Doom Demons (L64-66), Blood Demons (L64-66) and Arch Demons (64-66). All these mobs con as either T or VT to a L59 PLD.

Now, you can setup camp in the ledge/platform, just be sure not to drop down and, more importantly, to avoid being seen by any mob below or above. As an alternative, you can set camp inside the big room, in one of the corners. Usually you will find there is enough space and hopefully the mobs wont come wandering near the corner. Kill these mobs until you get your key.

-= Camp 2 =-

Starting from map 2 at the top of the hole, look down and this time you need to land on the 2nd highest platform, which will also lead you to the 3rd map, except this time you will be in the hallway which leads to the center of the map (big central square room). This hallway is usually populated by Ahrimans only (usually 2 or 3, spread out). You can set up camp close to the ledge and kill Ahrimans. In my experience the key drop rate seems to be better for Ahrimans. I got my key after the 3rd Ahriman, but your milage may vary.

If you run out of mobs, you can always move camp into one of the other holes/ledges. To do this you need to drop down to the bottom floor of the hole, and follow the hallway until you reach a set of stairs. You can't miss them. Go up the stairs and you will be back again on the 2nd Map. Navigate to another hole, drop down and repeat.

By now you already know how to navigate the map, so drop down accordingly into the holes until you find the chest. This part you can do solo if you have WHM subbed, or just remember to bring some oils/powders. What you mainly want to do is go around Map 3 (by using Map 2 to navigate) and check the big outer rooms, and the 4 central hallways, this is where the coffer spawns. If you are in a PT, I suggest you have a mage follow the circuit since it would be easier for he/she to recast sneak and invisibility.

San d'Oria
After you obtain Mique's Paintbrush (key item), you need to head back to South San d'Oria and talk to Vemalpeau again (M-7). He will tell you that all of his son's belongings are still in his room upstairs. Head upstairs and investigate the painting on the wall. You will get an option to look at a strange piece of paper (letter), do so.

Once you have the letter, head to the weapon shop (K-7) and talk to Exoroche. He will tell you that you need to dip the letter on a well in Davoi to have the ink appear. At this point you are now ready to head to Davoi

Davoi
A few comments before I go on. I have battled these two NM orcs a total number of 7 times (mine and other friends' AFs). We have defeated them with as few as 9 people, but we had 2 L75 players tanking. You really want to have as many people as possible. You can do it with only 12 people (2 PTs) but you may have to use a couple of 2hrs or more. So, unless you have high level help, I really do recommend you gather 18 people. Easiest way to do this is to contact other paladins around your level range (and really, you should know them by now anyway), and coordinate the alliance with them to combine forces.

There are 2 key places you want to note here. The Village Well, which is located on the S-W corner of G-9, and the entrance to the Monastic Caverns at H-11. I will explain.

Head to Davoi, once in there make your way to the Village Well (G-9) by going through the S-E portion of the map. Note that level 58-59 you should be safe of aggro up until the intersection at H-10. At this point you will encounter some EP orcs to the north (where a treasure coffer spawns), and to the south (where the entrance to the Monastic Cavern is). Memorize this part of the map very well, because if the main NM battle goes wrong, what you want to do is run as fast as you can and zone into the Monastic Cavern. Especially if the tanks or damage dealers fall, have the mages zone and then come back.

The first thing you want to do is clear the area around the well from all the orcs. They con as EM or DC to a lvl 59-60 player (with the exception of the Orc Dreadnought, which is IT). Use this opportunity to get TP. Now, the are 2 relatively safe areas around the well where you can rest and regen MP. One is immediately to the south of the well, and another one to the north. In both of these 'rest' areas you can go up a small ledge in the wall and hopefully the orcs wont see you.

If you have a 3-PT alliance, what I suggest is the following: 1 PT will tank the paladin orc (One-Eyed Gwajbo), while the other 2 PTs will dispatch the ranger orc (Three-Eyed Prozpuz). The ranger orc hits hard, but goes down fast, whereas the paladin orc hits for less, but has a ton of HPs. If you have a 2-PT alliance, have 1 tank and 1 mage concentrate on the paladin orc, while everyone else takes care of the ranger orc.

The best way to tank the paladin orc and not lose hate is to load your TP to 300% before the fight (when you clear the area of orcs), and start with a provoke and immediately follow with a Spirits Within WS, which will do anywhere between 540-560 damage, then tank as usual.

Once you have killed the paladin Orc, a 'well weight' wlll drop. Trade it to the well and you will get a cutscene in which you will be able to read the contents of the letter. You are now done with Davoi.

San d'Oria, Jugner Forest, San d'Oria
Go back to North San d'Oria and speak with Ailbeche (J-9). He will make reference to a lake in Jugner Forest, where his 'friend' is fishing (if you did AF2, you know who I mean). Now go to Jugner Forest and head to the Maiden's Spring which is located in E-6 of the map. Once you approach the well, you will get a really cool cutscene in which most of the storyline from the quests will wrap up. After the cutscene, head back to San d'Oria and go to Prince Trion's Chamber in Chateau d'Oraguille. There you will get an even cooler cutscene and the end of your AF adventures.
