Thank you for the write-up, it helped immensely going in and finding the place.

I find also: http://ffxi-atlas.com helped me lots in finding the actual location of the stairs room in Aydeewa Subterrane.

Also, the fleas have a set movement pattern, if you approach the stairs as detailed above, try to do so in the right hand corner and wait for fleas to bounce away. (You can see them though you can't target them.) Then drop invis, see CS and quickly put invis back up again. /ma "Invisible" <me> on macro works well, don't bother running up the stairs, they'll see you and aggro. -_-

*Note: Still not quite certain if these are sneak or sight aggro as I had both up until I went to the stairs* After which I aggroed because I made the mistake of running up them while the fleas looked faraway and didn't aggro. Could've stuck my buff.*

Other than that, depending on level, they can also eat through stoneskin pretty quick, so if you're a rdm chainspell > warp might save you.
Can be part of the quest: What Friends Are For

This monster can aggro you while you are on the quest: What Friends Are For This quest is to obtain the Map to the Aydeewa Subterrane. You'll find your invisibility is down after the cut-scene and they will quickly aggro you.

As for the quest:

Optional: Visit Nashmau and talk to Tsetseroon. No cutscene, he just says he's lonely.
Visit Aydeewa Subterrane (Map 3 G-10).
One way to get there is to go to Wajaom Woodlands (D-9) and zone into Aydeewa Subterrane, then head south until you get to (G-10).
Alternate Aydeewa Subterrane map 3 entry points:
Wajaom Woodlands (E-10)
Halvung (G/H-14)
Approach the stairs (G-10) for a very short cutscene with NPC Wawaroon.
The cutscene will start before you reach the base of the stairs.
>>WARNING!!<< The cutscene WILL drop your Invisible effect, the moment the cutscene ends the fleas will aggro you. They attack incredibly fast, and will kill you very quickly if unprepared. Recommend Blink and Stoneskin (if possible) before entering the room with the stairs.
Return to Nashmau and talk to Tsetseroon again for a cutscene which flags the quest.
Trade him a Tin Ore and Cobalt Jellyfish to receive the Pot of Tsetseroon's Stew (Key Item).
Go back to Aydeewa Subterrane (Map 3 G-10) and check the ??? on the stairs for another cutscene with NPC Wawaroon.
NOTE: If you stand on the steps above the ??? before you drop Invisible, there's a good chance you won't aggro any fleas.
After cutscene, you are given two options to examine Wawaroon's bag:
If you choose "I am no thief", you get nothing.
If you choose "Yes", you obtain the Map of Aydeewa Subterrane.
Return to Nashmau back and talk to Tsetseroon again for a final cutscene and reward.
If you choose "I am no thief" earlier, you obtain the Map of Aydeewa Subterrane.
If you choose "Yes" earlier, you obtain an Imperial Bronze Piece.

i was just exploring in ayadeen when i found this structer, when i went up to it i got a cut scene.
well because of that weird short cut scene with a qurin looking at me from the structer i lost my invisible, so that's when the flea's attacked, it was at G-10 and there was also a ??? next to the structure, well i hope that helped and happy they put my pic up there, if you find out what the cut scene or the ??? is for please post it

Also untargetable and undetectable through Widescan until it aggroes.

It attacks with about a very low delay (roughly the speed of Hundred Fists) with a near perfect (about 98%) accuracy on a level 75 Ninja.
