Journey Abroad

Mission OrdersVisit the faraway nations of Bastok and Federation of Windurst and receive official recognition as an adventurer. WalkthroughThe guard sends you to talk to Halver in Northern San d'Oria. He needs you to help out at Bastok and Federation of Windurst embassies. You can do this in any order. If you chose to start in Bastok, go speak with Pius in the office of the President. If you have done Federation of Windurst first, you will need to speak to the San d'Orian Consulate Savae E Paleade before going to see Pius. You will be sent to Palborough Mines to get some Mythril Sand. First, check the Auction House to see if there are any Mine Gravel for sale. If so, buy it. If not, talk to Grohm in Metalworks and he will give you three Pickaxes. Just in case, you should buy some extras. They are sold by Boytz in Bastok Mines or at the Auction House. Note: You must talk to Grohm to get a cut scene to be able to complete this mission. In Palborough Mines at (F-7, first floor), you will find the Mythril Seam. Use the Pickaxe on the Mythril Seam until you get a Mine Gravel. (obviously you can skip this if you bought the gravel) Once you get the gravel, find the Refiner on the third floor at (I-7). Trade the Mine Gravel to the Refiner and the machine will begin to work. Head to the machine on the second floor and pull the lever. You should receive an oz. of Mythril Sand. You can take a shortcut back to Bastok by jumping into the boat on the third floor. Trade the Mythril Sand to Savae E Paleade. Next, it's off to Federation of Windurst! Next head to the ambassador in Federation of Windurst. He sends you to a tower in Windurst Walls to get a key. Zone into Heaven's Tower and speak to Kupipi to get the key and head off to Giddeus. At this point, you will need a full group. You can buy a map of Giddeus in Windurst Woods. When you get to Giddeus you want to go to a burning circle located at G-12 in the southwest corner. Get ready for battle. Head into the circle and a dragon will appear. You need to defeat the dragon. After you do it, report back to the ambassador and then back to the guard and you gain rank 3 and 3,000 Gil. If Federation of Windurst is first, then you need to take a shield offering to Uu Zhoumo, the Yagudo NPC guarding the treasure room in the lowest part of Giddeus, then you have to fight Zhuu Buxu the Silent and retrieve 2 Parana Shields and trade them to the San d'Orian consulate. They tell you to go to Bastok next where you will get tossed around to different people until you are told to go into the mines. Go with a party to the 3rd floor and head towards the burnt spot on the map, and you will zone into the next part where you will find the burning circle. Then kill the Black Dragon and see the cutscene, head back to the San d'Orian consul in Federation of Windurst, they will complete you for their part and you just need to head on home to complete the mission. Note that this mission is given in all three kingdoms, so you can group with anyone and still complete it. Update NotesAs of February 14th, 2011, there is no longer a level cap restriction on the mission battlefield. To read the transcripts for this quest, see the Journey Abroad Spoilers page.

Normally it seems that 2 worms & 1 persecutor spawns in that area, in addition to Zhuu. He spawns every 10-12 minutes, ALWAYS. It was very easy for my WHM 25 to solo him without problems. I even got a third shield to use for regular use ^^.
Off to Bastok with me now :(
I'm a lvl 25 WAR named Snowfang on Titan. If you'd like to party up to kill the dragon, please e-mail me at cfactor@despammed.com and we'll setup a time.
Thanks,

I went to windhurst then to the consulate in there then to heavens tower got the shield offering went to the yaguda npc guarding the treasure room in lowest part of giddeus gave him the shield he toke it and told me to go I went to the burning circle and nothing happened it wont let me in I went back to tower and nothing happened went to the consulate mourices he told me:
Fool
You only handed over windurts magic shield to yagudo and skipped back leaving the balance of power skewed , such action would be considered treason back in sandoria.
Went back to tower nothing happens
Don’t know what to do
Can any one help
I sleep the dragon and the other RDMs take down searcher first. then we killed the dragon.
My advise for the bastok mines is if you already have one ore dont break the others pickaxes for nothing you only need one ore to make one Mythril. You cant sell extra Mythrils at the AH because they are EX items, but you can sell the extra pickaxes.
Theres something I consider strange no one has post it about, if you choose bastok first you do all you have to do, but when the moment to take the Mythril Sand comes there is a very strong orc down there, an imposible gauge so i think not even a full 25 party (max lvl in that cave) can beat him, I suggest jump from the left side of the top (the place you trade the ore with the machine) and you will fall on a platform not on the floor, you can see the orc from there just be patient until it moves.
I really dont think that orc is always there because is a low lvl area but who knows if you find it just evade it.
send a tell to Vladvlud if you are intrested!

1) Have the party fight quads to get their TP to max (good time to try for those Pal keys while your are there)
2) Heal outside the circle
3) Have the team enter the burning circle
4) After the cut-scenes make sure to send the main tank in first, have them provoke the dragon then disengage and have the whole team rape the Seeker with WS and a Renki if possible till it’s dead
5) Turn on the dragon, ‘voke again, and have your melee’s (preferably a monk or two) use their 2 hour.
6) Watch second cut-scene
I did this with: 24 MNK (me), a 22 MNK, 25 PAL, 22 BLM, and 24 RMG
That’s right no WHM needed and only 5 people.
Seriously people the dragon isn’t that bad, and if he’s so much harder than the Windy one I think I’ll go down there and solo him.
other 5 in party were lv 20 - 25. We had no whm, but our rdm23/whm12 did a nice job on healing.
our plan was to put dragon sleep and kill the seeker first, but this did not work. So we had to kill both at same time :)
the hardest part with this mission was to get together a party of 6, but we talked to everybody in near areas who was still at rank 2 and helped them to get the mission and the dark key.
You have to talk with the Sandorian Consultant in Bastok and Windurst not the Bastok one. In other words once you get to those cities go to the Sandorian Embassy.
