Is this a better piece of armor than Eisenbrust for a tanking PLD, or is the 6 less DEF not worth it? Also, I know Kampfburst is supposed to be the best at that level, but I can't afford it with the other stuff I need to buy.
You need level 3 fame. so Mendi (lower jeuno, (H-8) has heard of you. Jeuno fame is easy enough to get. there is a NPC named Zauko (lower Jeuno, (I-6) who gives you the simple task of lighting the lamps of lower jeuno. you can get this quest at 18:05 but you cant start it till 21:00 and you must complete it by 1:00. Only one person per game day may do this quest and it raises fame like mad. every few times you do it you gain one level.
This is the Human Female part of RSE. To get it you must talk to guttrix in Jeuno, he is a goblin who is friendly. This takes a high level of quests (50ish) After doing this he tells you depending on what time of the week it is whose RSE it is, what that means is, Taru-male, galka, mithra, elvaan-male, elvaan-female, etc. It will pick a race, and a gender(excluding galka and mithra). If its Your race, ie Human Female, then you go to the place he tells you to: Gusgen, Maze, or Ordelles Caves. During this time you must find a chest and a chest coffer, you can skip the coffer if your a Thief and just go get Thieves Tools because they DO work. You recieve a pattern, take this to Guttrix in Jeuno and he gives you a choice of what peice of armor you desire
I have heard you have to go to the maze of Shakrami kill caterpillars, Goblin Smithys and Wights. They drop keys to chests that spawn around the maze. If anyone knows where the chests spawn please post it. There are patterns for each race, gender and main body slot for armor, leggins, feet, etc. You can only hold one key at a time aparently, and i have no idea if there is a chance of getting the same pattern twice. This is Square, and online so probably.
Anyone with more info, please post, especially about the chest locales... thanks.
The patterns are generic, as in the pattern does not determine which piece of equipment it will become - it can be turned into any of the RSE (race specific equipment) for your race/gender.
You will need to go through the process a total of 4 times to get all of your RSE.
The deal about race/gender is that your race and gender determine _when_ you can obtain a pattern (Guttrix will tell you the current race and gender when you talk to him in Jeuno). Each race/gender has about 7 hours (real time) in order to obtain the pattern before it switches to the next race/gender. If you talk to Guttrix right after it has switched to your race/gender you will have the whole 7 hours to get the pattern - but if you come later, you may only have a short time to get the pattern. If you only have an hour remaining, you may want to wait until your race/gender comes up the next time.
Once you find out which dungeon is the current one (if you're the current race/gender), go there via chocobo/teleport or even run. You will need to obtain the key for that dungeon (dropped off of certain mobs for each dungeon) in order to open a treasure chest before the race/gender switches.
You can simplify the process by obtaining a key from each of the areas where the patterns can be found before you begin your 'RSE hunt'. If you do this, you will only have to go to the dungeon and find a treasure chest.
Either way, as long as Guttrix hasn't switched to the next race/gender (and you went to the correct dungeon), you will obtain the 'magical pattern' when you open the chest with the key.
If the race/gender has switched, you will get whatever prize is normally in treasure chests in that dungeon.
Now that you have obtained the pattern, there is no hurry to go back to Guttrix. You may even want to get a replacement key for the dungeon you are in in case your next pattern happens to be in the same dungeon.
Once you have obtained a pattern, you go to Jeuno and trade it to Guttrix for one of the pieces of RSE for your character (you will choose which one you want). *cheer*
