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.

I furthermore am unable to get to meet the president like the quest says.
My log just says that I have to go to Palborough to get Mythril Sands...but I have never received the other part of the quest to get it...and I don't know where I can buy a couple more of these.
Anyone?
now, I've been told that this can happen *sometimes*, but should I start thinking that there is a problem here ?
I'm at the very beginning of the quest. I started in Bastok, and got the quest from the Ambassador of San D'Oria, where I'm from. The next step of the quest says I'm supposed to go and talk to the president. But none of the guards, nor "Iron Eater" the guy who's guarding the President's door will allow me to pass. That furthermore doesn't allow me to get anything more from Grohm in the eatery.
Can I still move forward with the Palsborough mines even through I don't have any part of the quest except for the inital part from my San D'Orian ambassador?
you do not need to be lvl 18 to complete this quest. it might be recommended though. you also dont need to be lvl 20 to do davoi report. i did davoi at 6, and walked to windurst at 7. to kill the dragon though, you might want to be around 18-25- not necessary though.

when you enter giddeus keep making lefts when the road splits. eventually you will come to the cave that leads to the treasure room. if you know where this is it might make more sense.
anyhow, walking away from the treasure room, stay straight. do not turn right into where eyemon spawns. the next hall leads to a more open area that has pipers, persecutors, and some worms. you should be able to pick this room out as it has an oval shape, and it is just before the hill that leads back up. zuu is a timed spawn it seems, like ten minutes every time. so be prepared to wait a bit. also be careful around the worms in the hall as they link, and if youre below lvl 16 or 17 they and buxu will be very tough.
of course the dragon wouldnt be that hard
DRAGOONS GET BONUS DAMAGE AGAINST DRAGONS.
I have now some kind of dust after mining 2 mythril ore or whatever they were called, used them on the machine and now I am back in Bastok where absoultely no one wants those crappy dustitems...
on top of that I was told I need a key to enter the flaming circle...help of for the love of god help!!! used 4k on this fu**ing mission already!!!
head south through west ronfaure to la theine. from there go south to valkurm dunes. next go to selbina. take the boat ride to mhaura for 100g. exit mhaura and go northwest. i believe this map is called buburimu peninsula. anyhow, go nw and you should find tahrongi canyon. from tahrongi youll need to go south, through a long and winding path. youll end up in east sarutabaruta. once here just go straight south and you should see an entrance to windurst. there is no real marking for it on the map but youll see little indentations of the canyon wall on the map.
this may seem like a lot of maps to run through but it is easier at low lvls.
if you are above 20, once you get to la theine go east. youll be at jugner forest. from here youll go to the northeast exit. keep heading ne to find it. its east of the lake. i think the next map is called battalia downs. and you have to go southeast here. its a little tricky because there are two exits. one leads to rolanberry field i think, and the other to jueno. if you go to rolanberry there is also an entrance for jueno, but either way that is your goal.
once at jueno exit to sauromauge champagne. go south through this map to the next one. dont remember its name. youll know youre on the right map if theres a large spine-like structure floating in the sky. anyhow, keep going south and you should end up in tahrongi. follow the directions above and you should make it.
even if you dont have all the maps, you can look at your region map to figure it out. i did it with one other person at lvl 7 so its not impossible. just dangerous. good luck.
