Mission 4-1 and 4-2 = mission 4, just get the key, fight the NM giant Porphyrion at Delkfutt's Tower in Qufim on the 10th floor, keys drop!,Finally head to the tunnel to the east walk to the stairs down to the first floor. You will be in the basement. There will be 3 exits for which are based on allegiance (M-7, M-8, N-9). In each one is the Ambassador.

I went with my friend, him lvl 45 drg and me alone, he engage with the NM giant Porphyrion, while i have sneak and invisible, then went down the the basement get the cutscene, back to the embassy at Jeuno...

There is no mission 4-1 or 4-2. There's just mission 4, usually called 4-3, though that's not entirely accurate. But it has three parts to it, and can feel like three different missions.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=&fquest=151

It's called Magicite.
Now Rank 4

I did this Mission 3 Times
First Time with a LS-Friend
But i had forgotten to speak with the King of Sandy
Second Time i did it alone WHM 40/ BLM 20
Allways with Sneak and Invisible
In the 10th Floor my invis wear off and
2 Gigas + Mimas and Bats attacked me and killed me
as i was dead on the floor i talked with LS Friends
They told me that i dont need to go to Top of the Tower
Now i get it at least in a easy way right from First Floor to the Basement

Sorry for my English - i hope you can read and understand it

GL and FUN
My experience

The first time I did this, I soloed it as a 46 monk. The gigas in the tower all checked EP to me. There is a NM beastmaster up at the top that can charm party members, though. Guess I got lucky and didn't run into it. A LS member went with a 71 paladin and he got charmed. In the end, she wound up dead with a train of several giants, a NM beastmaster and a 71 paladin chasing after her.

I'm planning on soloing this again as a 55 bard. But, I kept my key, so it's not that big of a deal. Just walk through there, sneak past the NM if need be, and I'm done.
can i do this?
# Jul 16 2005 at 12:28 AM Rating: Decent
Can i solo this at 50 or do i need to wait till 55?

HELP!
# Jul 14 2005 at 8:52 PM Rating: Decent
okay my mission log says
"Appt to Jeuno"
"Head to the SanDoirian emabssy in jeuno and fullfill your duties there"

so i go there and get
"Enjoy your stay, If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask"

and thats it.
The door in the embassy still says "Restriced Acess"
and the guards in the Jeuno Castle thingy said I need an "Archducal Audience Permit" to see the Archduke (dont know if this is related though)

Where is Sir Lucius?
# Jun 04 2005 at 11:49 AM Rating: Decent
Said to find him in 'Administrative Area' of Metalworks. But can't get in Presidential area. So where is he?

RE: Where is Sir Lucius?
# Jul 26 2005 at 2:01 AM Rating: Decent
It's in the same kind of building as the foreign embassies in Bastok Metalworks.

The walkthrough doesn't really mention this, but (in Windurst) after you get the mission you need to go to the Star Tree.

Go to the top floor again, and all the way down the walkway to the Vestal Chamber, where you'll get a cutscene with the Star Sybil herself and the key item "Letter to the Ambassador".
Would have taken half an hour
# May 21 2005 at 8:41 AM Rating: Decent
Did this with the help of Rockmann, ls buddy. It would have taken about 1/2 hour if he didn't stop to help a couple people out in qufim. He's a 72 brd/whm. We kept invis, deo, and sneak on... forgot about sneak at first and got aggro from a bat... should have checked it but didn't. I was a 33 thf/nin.
Maybe half an hour

i would assume so. I can solo it as thief/ninja.
FAQ: Can i solo? Which door?
# May 07 2005 at 10:52 PM Rating: Decent
Really easy fight, i soloed it as 55THF/NIN didnt take a hit. I'm pretty sure anyone 52+ can solo + not get aggro. Left door- Windurst | Middle door- San d'oria | Right door- Bastok

Hope this helps

Shouldn't be a problem. I solo'd it just fine at 63 for a friend of mine. I didn't have any special melee gear on per se. The other giants are stronger than the NM from what I noticed, but even those shouldn't give you any trouble, so long as you don't link the whole room at once. I had one link during the fight and it still wasn't a close call, just gave myself two shots of Cure III when needed.

Try to snag Porphyrion when the other giants aren't looking, since if you kite him from a range, he'll throw boulders at your face. Stoneskin and two Minuets, he'll be begging for mercy.
How should I go about getting a party?
# Apr 15 2005 at 12:58 PM Rating: Decent
I'm a 31MNK/15WAR, and I just realized that I won't be able to get a party for this mission by just waiting by the exit of the tower with my flag up, and a search comment.

Since I currently have no active linkshells, how do you suggest I go about getting a party to help me with this mission? Should I send a shout at Jeuno? Or something else?

Im in Fenrir too and I need to get the Mission done as well maybe we can do sometime contact me as soon as you can when your on the game hope to c u there

RE: How should I go about getting a party?
# Apr 17 2005 at 5:34 PM Rating: Decent
the best thing to do is get a higher level, somebody around lv56 and above to solo it for you

-I am in the diabolos server, will help any needing if i can, Level61 Samurai
RE: How should I go about getting a party?
# Apr 17 2005 at 9:21 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, now how do I go about getting someone like that to help me? Do I stay in the tower? Return to town? (I'm on Fenrir, BTW...)
RE: How should I go about getting a party?
# Apr 20 2005 at 2:03 AM Rating: Decent
You should try to join a LS ^^. Or just yell around town for some help and look for high lvls not in a pt.

Willing to help
# Apr 13 2005 at 9:12 AM Rating: Decent
Yeah if anyone is on the asuran server, i know my way up the tower and i can solo the NM so if anyone needs an escort just bring ur own Sneak + Invisible, if not and i got to kill everything well that'll cost ya....

Ya I soloed the NM at 46 drg...we may have trouble getting parties but we can solo better than most DD's with War subbed and /mage pfwah

So yeah if you have a drg friend get him to help i'm sure he's not doing anything, just make sure you know the way its really not that hard to get up everyone makes it such a big deal..i duno why.....

i'm on asura /t Seamusnapoleon

I just helped a lsmate with this, and then stayed to camp enkalados.

If you can sneak/invis yourself(by medicines or magic) then all you need is sometime to lead you up the tower and kill the NM.

I'm a 57 warrior and I can solo the NM with no problem. Not sure how low you can go, but Id be willing to bet that any melee DD 50+ could solo this guy.

Also the directions are spot on.

Ok, I got the key without activating the mission. Can I just go in the door on the left to get the ambassador?

I recently got my mule rank 5 at lvl 20. Yes, before I got him his chocobo lisence. Yes, I know I have issues. =P But I found a much easier way to do this than running up the tower.

Needed:

Someone with ‘tractor’ that still has their Delkfutt’s key.
Someone who can kill the NM at the top (I’d say 50+ to be safe.)
Someone with ‘raise’.
These can be three different people, or the same person, doesn’t matter.
A way to sneak/invis yourself.

Now all you have to do is take a left once you enter the tower and proceed down the path that leads under the stairs. Get yourself killed in front of the door while whoever has a key goes through and have them tractor you. Voila! You just saved yourself at least an hour. Get yourself raised and head down the tunnel to the big room full of giants. Be careful of the two bogys in the tunnel.

Hug the left wall and go through the first door you come across on the left. There are no mobs past this door. You will see a spiral staircase and a ??? at the bottom. Clicking on the ??? will send you right up to the Top floor in the middle of the room where the NM with keys is. I suggest you send your guide up first to save yourself some aggro.

Kill the NM, get your keys, and follow the rest of the guide posted here. Congratulations, you’re now Rank 4. Oh, KEEP THE KEY. You will need it later in for ZM quests and who knows what else. If you have the key, you can always take the elevator right to the 10th floor.

Or you can just have that person kill the NM that drops the key on the other side of the door. That way, you don't need to die, need tractor, or a WHM. Makes the quest a whole lot simpler, and plus, now you can help others with your key.

you can't do this, i wnated to and then i thought about it. Once you enter the door with the ??? you are zoning into Upper Delkfuts, while the stone door you have to tractor them through is in Lower Delkfuts, so that person on the lower level has no access to the treasure pool. You might be able to leave them in the room with the ??? while the upper level goes up the elevator and kills tne NM for keys, just check to see if the person that needs it has their HP/MP bars visible.

This is mission 3-3, you need complete 3-1 in order to get this mission. 3-2 is skipable, but not 3-1.

i am going to tell you how i went about this mission. i had 2 people in the party me and one other i was a 49mnk/24war and the other person was a 33pld/16war. he was a LS member so we did it together. I didnt get agroo from anything and he used silent oils and prizm powder the whole way till he ran out and then anyting that agroed him i killed. Ididnt get the map of the place but the pld di so h ewas leading when we got to polyphron i went to the right corner of the room and i used chiblast to pull it away from the other giants and then i soloed it while the pld cast 1 curIII on me and i didnt use my shr and my HP went into the yellow and that was all i didnt get any agro from any of the other giants and it was really simple it is really easy
