Forge Your Destiny (Samurai Flag Quest)
|
SummaryA lump of Bomb Steel and a Sacred branch are required to make a new katana. You will have to ask Jaucribaix's pupils to find out where you can get these items. WalkthroughTo begin this quest, you will need to speak to Jaucribaix in Norg. To get there, rent a chocobo in Kazham and head all the way south to the outpost. Stay in Yuhtunga Jungle and beware the holes. Two are connected to each other and will bring you back out to the Outpost and another will take you nowhere. You will need to fall through the hole nearest to the waterfall. Head outside and straight towards the right side of the waterfall as you see it. This will take you to Sea Serpent Grotto. Once at Sea Serpent Grotto, you want to either have Sneak on you or use silent oil. Once you are set, stick to your right and make every possible right turn you can. Eventually you'll reach a Stone Gate. Click on it to open it. Remember to recast sneak/silent oil if it wears off. Proceed the same way guiding it to the right, you'll get to some steps and you'll see a series of arches on that path. This leads to Norg. Once in there, go to the right and you can either go up through the path on your right (past the chocobo). Go all the way to the end of the hall and you'll find Jaucribaix. Talk to him and he'll tell you about the ways of a samurai and inform you he needs a Bomb Steel and Sacred Branch. Next, go down the long steps and talk to Aeka, she'll give you the Oriental Steel. To the left of the steps somewhere in the back is Ranemaud, he'll give you the Sacred Sprig. To get back to Kazham from Norg, rent a chocobo. As you head out, guide it to the left and you'll find a path that takes you up (don't try to go back the same way you came in, because you CANNOT). Once you are on the level above just keep going all the way North to Kazham. The Sanctuary of Zi'TahTo get to the Sanctuary, rent a chococo in Port Jeuno and head out to Sauromugue Champaign and zone into Meriphataud Mountains. From there, head East and go to Zi'Tah, you can see it on your map at (M-4). You can also reach the Meriphataud Mountains from Tahrongi Canyon. Make sure you have at least one hatchet with you and go east to (K-10), where you will find a sort of tunnel. Go through it all the way to (L-9) (this point doesn't show on the map) and look for a ??? on a huge tree. Use your hatchet on the ??? and a Guardian Treant will spawn. Defeat it and obtain the the Sacred Sprig. Trade the sprig to the ??? and you'll receive the Sacred Branch. Konschtat HighlandsGo to (D-8) and head into a tunnel. At the end there will be a ???. When ready, trade the Oriental Steel to the ??? and Forger will spawn. Defeat it and he will drop a Bomb Steel. Once you have both items, head back to Norg and talk to Jaucribaix. During the cutscene, Gilgamesh will appear and say your reward will be ready in 3 days (3 real life hours). Return after this time and you'll receive the Mumeito and the ability to become a Samurai.

A few ppl from the LS decided to go finish the SAM quest; A WAR30/NIN13 (myself), a THF/RNG, 2 DRK/WAR, and a WHM (on anon, but obviously high level since she was outdamaging me when we toyed with the Goblin Smithies).
From Norg, our WHM cast Teleport-Dem and we ran out to the cave and fought the forger (it has a respawn time of about 8 minutes or so). It was all fine, not too much of a problem, although I did miss the call for the Barfira buff while I was outside raising my TP. The 3rd Bomb Self-Destructed and wiped off about 130 HP *ouch. I think I missed Barfira.*
From there, our WHM cast Teleport-Mea, and we took chocobos out to Meriphataud, and then Zi'Tah. Unfortunately, none of us had a map of Zi'Tah, so we constantly ran north typing "/p <pos>" until we were close. The sad part was we didn't have a hatchet, but we came across ANOTHER Drk and a Rdm who kindly lent us theirs (in return for a Teleport-Dem, so we formed a full PT). We sat there for about 5 minutes figuring out how to make the Guardian Treant spawn, so I took the hatchet and examined the ??? and then used a hatchet. I got smacked by a tree for 80 dmg ><
So we were all pretty much done, we warped back to Norg and sat around fishing, or playing Lucky Dice with Repat.
This quest isn't TOO hard, although for a War30/Nin13 I couldn't have done it alone. I suggest bringing some friends with spare time on their hands. Already loving SAM, brought it up to Lv. 7 today. Good luck to you all planning on doing this =^^=
