[Lardinho]

[Kish]

I got to 9-1 as a 60-65 drk. i don't really think anything around 64-65 is gonna be to too harmful... i don't dig level requirements.

[Lillia]

Mission mobs (BC mainly since thats the only time level would really play a huge factor) are incredibly weak.

[Lardinho]

[Kish]

8-1 Vain.

Walkthrough The gate guard will direct you to the Aurastery. At the Aurastery, speak to Moreno-Toeno for a cutscene, and receive the key item
"Star Seeker" (a magic doll).
There are two parts to this mission - the first part can be done solo. For part one:
Go to H-6 in Ro'Maeve and examine Qu'Hau Spring. If you've never been to Ro'Maeve, the area is overrun with everything
imaginable that agros to magic, so Silent Oil is an absolute necessity. After examining Qu'Hau Spring, you will get a small cutscene.

Go to Davoi. At H-11, zone into Monastic Cavern. Go through Monastic Cavern - at I-8, zone back into Davoi.
You'll see a house up on a hill when you zone back into Davoi - this is where you're headed. To get there, continue north along the
path; it will wrap around the house and lead to an elevator. Take the elevator to the top and go inside the house. Inside will be 2-3
assorted Orcs - Champions, Warriors, etc. - which need to be cleared. The NM you must fight is also in the room, so be wary.
The NM is Dirtyhanded Gochakzuk, a level 71 Black Mage. He'll open the fight with a nice area effect damager, so pulling with
Elemental Seal + Silence is the way to go. He'll spawn on top of what appears to be a bed against the far wall of the room from the
entrance. Once defeated, he'll drop two Curse Wands - every Windurstian on the mission needs one of these, so you'll probably
have to fight him several times. Respawn time is 15-20 minutes.
Once you've finished with the NM, head over to J-8 and speak to Sedal-Godjal (the taru from the orb quest for the level 60 cap
quest). Speak to him until he asks for a Curse Wand, then trade him the wand for a cutscene.
Return to Moreno-Toeno in the Aurastery to complete the mission.


8-2 The Jester who'd be King.

Walkthrough: The preperation can be done solo. Get the mission from the gate guard and trot over to the Manustery to speak with Apururu.
He explains that his brother is locked in a Dungeon, and only you can save him, by collecting five rings to open the dungeon door.
These rings are mostly from past missions - you have to go speak with the NPCs to collect them. Collect the four rings from:

Apururu - Manustery Ring ( Manustery - received upon first conversation/cutscene)
Tosuka-Porika - Optistery Ring (Opistery, Windurst Waters)
Sedal-Godjal - Aurastery Ring (J-8, Davoi)
Rukusu - Rhinostery Ring (F-6, Lower level of Fei Yin)

Once the four rings have been collected, speak with Apururu again, who will send you to Kupipi (receptionist in Heaven's Tower).
Speak to Kupipi to learn that to collect the last ring, you must go to Horutoto Ruins.
A party of at least 14, level 65 or higher is recommended for the fight. Go to the F-4 West Sarutabaruta tower.
Once inside, go through the Cracked Wall at I-6, then to the Cracked Wall at G-7. Med to full and buff up before examining the wall
- examining triggers the fight immediately.
You'll be fighting two level 72 Cardian NMs: Queen of Coins (RDM) and Queen of Swords (PLD). Once the mobs are dead, examine
the Cracked Wall for a cutscene, then return to Windurst for more running around.
Go first to Apururu for a cutscene. He will direct you to Shantoto, who, after another cutscene, will direct you back to Apururu.
During this cutscene with Apururu, he'll tell you to go rescue his brother from the Dungeon.
Head now to the Horutoto tower entrance at J-7 in East Sarutabaruta. Past the 3 mages gate, at I-7, you will find the Gate of
Darkness. Examine it for.. another cutscene.
Return (again) to Windurst, the Manustery, and Apururu, for a final cutscene, Rank 9, and 80,000 gil.
Reward Rank9 , 80000 Gil


RANK 9
9-1 Doll of the Dead.
Walkthrough: After receiving the mission, talk to Apururu at the Manustery, then to Star Sybil in Heaven's Tower, then talk to Apururu again and
Yoran-Oran gives her a letter which Apururu recognizes. The mission now becomes finding Apururu/Ajido's father somewhere in
Boyahda Tree.
You'll need a Goobbue Humus item (Rare/Ex) to complete this mission. You can obtain this item any time whether you have the
mission or not. They drop from Old Goobbues and Elder Goobbues in the Boyahda Tree.
Elder Goobbues are exp material for lvl 66-69 PTs or Beastmasters, so you can easily find people fighting them.
The item isn't a rare drop. One Goobbue exp session I saw about 6-8 of those drop, we discarded all them anyway. You can either
get some friends and go hunt for the item or just go to the area where exp parties are fighting Elder Goobbues and shout for some
PT to invite you and let you lot on the drop, offer to pay some gil if you wish.
After getting the Goobbue Humus, go to first map of Boyahda Tree, you'll find 2 doors around E-4 and F-5 that are guarded by
Mandragora Warden NPCs. Speak with one of them and it seems to want something from you, now trade it the Humus.
Watch the long cutscene with the tarutaru in there. Afterwards go back to talk to Apururu, then visit Full Moon Fountain to
complete the mission.


9-2 Moon Reading.
Recommend Lv.70 x 6
Walkthrough Speak to Star Sybil after getting the mission, she asks you to collect 3 ancient song verses. They are in Ro' Maeve, Chamber of
Oracles and Temple of Uggalepih.

Ro'Maeve - This one you can solo easily, just bring some sneak oils with you (even for mages) as there are magic aggros
everywhere in Ro?Maeve. Once there, examine the Qu'Hua Spring at H-6, this is the first place the doll led you to in M8-1. Get the
key item Ancient Verse of Ro'Maeve after a cutscene.

Chamber of Oracles - Ride to C-12 of Western Altepa Desert via a tunnel from D-11. Enter Quicksand Cave, sneak is needed
throughout this area. You enter at J-11, follow the path to a door with a switch circle before it at I-9. This is weight controlled door,
you'll need 1 Galka or 2 of the other races or 3 Tarutarus standing in center of the circle to open the door.
At the T-intersection ahead turn left, go to H-7 and open another weight-operated door. Keep going and fall down at E-7 to the
lower sand level. Now just hug left and you'll eventually enter the Chamber of Oracles. After a cutscene there you receive the key
item Ancient Verse of Altepa.

Temple of Uggalepih - First fight Tonberry Cutters in the temple for a Uggalepih key, it's a fairly common drop. Once you have the
key, start from the main entrance to the temple (I-6 of the first map), and keep hugging right until F-5 where you'll zone back into
Yhoator Jungle again at H-11 of the jungle. If you don't have the map, just check your pos now and then to see if you're on the
right track. Btw, only invisible is needed throughout the temple.

Once in Yhoator, walk west a bit and re-enter the temple, this is the map where coffers spawn. You start at I-5 on the map, turn right
at the first T. Walk to a wood gate at H-7, drop invis to open this. Through the gate, turn right, walk to a T at F-7, turn left there.
Head south a bit and turn right, you'll come to a door at E-8. This door need Uggalepih key to open. But there are tonberries in
front and behind this door, and they can see through doors. So be very careful when dropping invis to open the door, and quickly
re-apply invis afterwards.
Alternatively you can bring some people with you and just kill any tonberries in the room (1 key opens the door for everyone to
enter). Once in the room, examine a ??? near the 4 bookshelves down the back for the Ancient verse of Uggalepih.

Return to Star Sybil with the 3 verses for a cutscene and your final task: BC battle at Full Moon Fountain.
A party of 70-75 is needed for a safe fight. You?ll fight 4 Ace cardians, followed by a manticore/wyvern duo.
The cardians are the usual BLM/WHM/RDM/PLD combo. But since you have to fight 2 battles in a row, you should kill 3 cardians,
then sleep the 4th one while you rest MP back. The recommended order is BLM > RDM > PLD > sleep and rest > WHM.
Also save TP on the WHM, for the next fight. You battle a wyvern and a manticore, Ajido-Marujido also fights and if he dies you
lose, so have the white mage focus on keeping Ajido alive, along with the rest of the party. Fight Wyvern > Mancitore.
After winning the BC, head to Heaven's Tower one last time for Rank 10, 100k gil and Windurst flag.
Reward Rank10 , 100000 Gil , Windurst Flag


I would like to start off with killing the NM in Davoi so if you all could PLEASE get the ro'moev part finished I'd appriciate it.
Also I don't want to sit there and farm gobbue humas all night so if you could PRETTY PLEASE farm this yourself before monday i'd appriciate it a ton.

[Lardinho]

and a big makka thankee to all of those who came along too =)

Rank 10 ftw!

[Kish]

congrats sephi, lard, playa, and xiao on rank 10

[Drashogar]

Congrats you guys!!! Fun fight or no?? :)

[Lardinho]

Drash... like you would not believe =P

First fight was boring because we simply pwnt so much, 2nd fight...ok well, I ran forward to sleep the aces...and they were on me before I got cast off... went through my SS+Phalanx+Blink in second.. dead Lard... rest of the team hack 1 of the 4 Aces and Playaz sleepgas the other 3... when they awaken, they kill Playaz... 2 deaded now, both the mages =x (no BLM) Playaz had Reraise on though and around about the time the other 3 Aces awoke and killed Playaz, the first Ace that the melees attacked died...

Playaz uses Reraise and sleeps the others, Raise III me... I refresh him, myself and cast regen on the warriors as with no WHM mp fighers are very low on health...the others awake and much scrmbling to sleep them, I die a 2nd time... but one Sleep does get through and we are down to 2.

1 is now sleeping and 1 is being hacked away, after much healing and unweakening for Playaz, he Raise II me and I refresh us both again, regen the fighters (obsiouly ubah buffing self all the while), but carefully not to take hate... late on time, low on health, healing is done but most of our MP is wasted trying to sleep the last cardian so we could all recover... with no exaggeration, he took at least 10 to 15 attempts, could have been 20+ but literally at least 10-15 before Playaz finally landed a Sleep II, no I am unweakened, and I heal up quick with cookies and refresh etc. and Playaz back up to nine hundred and silly MP =P

So ready and buffed for the final fight... easy... wait for the Taru to run and pick which of the two mobs to aggro, I gravity pull the other and kite it around the rock opposite, no problem landing gravity in both fights... before even my 5th lap of the rock, the others had smashed the other mob and came over to totally pwn the kited mob.. as finish in 27 minutes... just under 3 minutes to spare XD *Best>Fight>Ever* XD

[Xiao]

Thanks very much to all who came and Kishimomo for setting this up. And congrats too you too kish for getting rank10:D

[Sephiria]

I would like to thank Kish and the others for organizing this and pulling it off. i greatly appreciate what it. i've wanted to do those missions for some time now.

Both our fights went smooth. with the exception of the first cause of the dumb taru triple casting ancient magics ripped hate off just in time for dragon to use ws. dead taru. refight again. no problems. taru live, but i had to cast everything i had to steal hate from dragon so it was on me and not taru but our tanks did a wickid job of taking hate back.

[Lardinho]

*/em pokes Sephy* you need to change your sig... not Windurst Rank 9 anymore XD
