Portal Charm  

i was on 3-1 and traing thank you and traded a rolanberry and got a cutscene with kupipi saying thank u and stuff, and then she said to stop by sometime and she'll give me a reward maybe.

I'm a little stuck for getting this item.

I'm currently rank 6 Windurst, with mission 6-1 active.

My Key Items don't show a Portal Charm.

My Mission Log shows "Written in the Stars" as being complete.

I traded a Rolanberry to Kupipi. She did a little dance and thanked me. That was it.

Still no Portal Charm.

Any ideas?

Ok, here's how it went for me.

I was trying to accept mission 5-2 (Windurst), but accidentally accepted this one instead. I have never been through the Sealed Portal before, and have max windy fame. Some time ago (before I was on this mission) Kupipi took my Rolanberry.
I was pretty pissed off I accepted the wrong mission, but I had to finish it quickly so I could get to a party that night. I had one whm willing to come with me but I went into the ruins as my rdm to scope out the run first. At 39 all the monsters were Too Weak on the run there. I suspect they're about the same level as those in Jugner Forest. I got to the gate, stood on the red circle until it lit up, killed a few monsters, and left.
I went back to Windy and checked the AH for Rusty Daggers. There were 3 up, and so I bought them for 1.2k each. I went to Heaven's Tower and traded in my Rusty Daggers to the mission lady. She accepted them. I walked downstairs and talked to Kupipi, she gave me my charm. I still haven't been past the gate.
I suspect only the people who have already passed this mission are asked for daggers, as the mission giver gave me some "trouble" for being late. People doing this at the right time might actually have to pass the portal.

Things of Note:
Never passed the Portal.
Gave Kupipi the Rolanberry long before Mission started.
I was rank 5 when I did this.
Everything worked out fine.

Btw. The ruin you want in the NE one (about half way up the map on the right) in East Sarutabaruta.

You get this from Written in the Stars?? I doubt it. Why? I've never skipped a single mission I did n't get this item. Here's what I did. I am rank 6. I walked into Heaven's Tower, walked right up to Kupipi and gave her a Rolenberry. She was quite pleased and immediately gave me the Portal Charm. No waiting, no zoning, no nothing. It was all one continous cut-scene. That's it.

From what I gather though, you will not be given your reward of the Portal Charm unless (until) you meet a secondary requirement. This requirement is either having proper rank, or having completed specifically Written in the Stars. I'm not totally sure as I had both when I did the quest.

Finally, all this item does it let you through the 3 Mage Door alone. (there's some confusion on other threads about this.) Hope this helps you guys out.

If you skip the Written in the Stars mission, raise your rank, and later come back to do WitS, you only have to do the mission repeat conditions, which are turn in 3 rusty daggers from Wendigos in the ruins. Now, if you instead buy these from the AH and turn them in, it still counts as completing the mission, allowing you to get the Charm. So, technically, you might not ever have to open the door with 3 mages. Unless opening the door once IS a prerequisite. Worth checking out if you're interested I suppose.

Still, it seems pretty clear that you HAVE to be Windurstian and you HAVE to have cleared this mission in some way in order to get it.

Well I finaly found a guin.... friend who was willing to try (Thanks Sarannah). I can confirm that a low fame (in windy) rank 4 sandorian can't get the portal cham. It may be limited to windurstians.

I have this; all you have to do is have been through the gate once yourself (whether through getting three mages to open it for you or having someone who already has this item open it for you), then give a Rolanberry to Kupipi. I can confirm that you do NOT need to complete the mission to be able to do this; you only have to have been through the gate once. I let my fiancé in the gate with this item, and he had never done this mission, yet he was able to get the item after that. Also, you can give Kupipi the Rolanberry before having gone in, then talk to her again once you've been through, and she'll give you the item then (this is what I did).
