SummaryRaifa wants you to exterminate an ecological threat, and bring her evidence of the feat. In-Game TextDescriptionBefore attempting this quest ensure you have one designated leader that everyone will follow so that the alliance works as one big team. This is essential for the success of this mission. Make sure you have a full alliance!!! Reifa is located in the Steaming Sheep Restaurant. Talking with Reifa he will tell you of an infestation in the Gusgen mines. His group (V.E.R.M.I.N.) is in charge of clearing out the mines, and he requests your help to clear the mines. Reifa informs you that you should meet up with Degga either at or in (he doesn't say which) the Gusgen mines for more information on the quest. Go to Gusgen mines and talk to Degga. Degga will apply an oil that level limits you to 20 and makes it so that anyone without the oil cannot cast spells on you (no heals, buffs, etc. unless they have to oil also). After speaking to Degga and everyone in the alliance has the level cap, proceed north to the first intersection. Take the west corridor (VERY IMPORTANT)! The west corridor will have mostly ghouls and bandersnatches. Fight these allong the way to ensure you do not train them all the way to the ??? or you will die. This corridor has only one path to follow, it will veer to the right (to the North). Continure following and clearing the mobs until you reach the most northern part of the passage. You will now be in the large room at the northmost part of the map high up on a platform. If you are not on the platform, you have not taken the correct corridor!! On this platform, go a few steps EAST to locate the ??? (LOCATION G-6 FIRST FLOOR). There will be about 5-6 ghouls and 2-3 bogies. Clear these bogys and search for the ???. The ??? are easy to find because they are located on a CHEST in the middle of the deck. When all the mobs are clear, and everyone is buffed and medded, have the main alliance TANK touch the ??? - DO NOT allow any other player to touch it first as they will instantly get the hate. Once the two NM's are dead, make sure that EVERYONE then touches the ??? to complete the quest. Now you get to fight your way back out!

And the rewards not worth the trouble of trying to get 2 groups + to deal with the mobs you'll have to fight in order to finish this because of everyone being lvl 20
Just skip it..
2. I highly recommend you get one of those JP highlevels to help you and at least 3 of your friends. This way is much easier then trying to control 18 noobs.
3. Do this quest before lvl 21...I was lvl 27 and when I tried to do it I went down to 20 and, well, armor unequiped @_@.
4. This guide is very good, although I think the reqard is 2K.
You can receive the quest at level 1, so the minimum level is set to that.
Walkthrough:
Get the quest from Reifa. Go to Gusgen mines and talk to Degga. Degga will apply an oil that level limits you to 20 and makes it so that anyone without the oil cannot cast spells on you (no heals, buffs, etc. unless they have to oil also).
Make sure you have a full alliance!!! Also, make sure that everyone has lvl20 or lower armor and weapons because when the oil is applied any armor or weapons above lvl20 will be removed.
Fight your way down to G-12. If you have a map you want to take the west passage to the large room in the back. When you get there clear the room. There will be about 5-6 ghouls and 2-3 bogies in the room.
Buff up and med to full then have your tank go click on the ??? on the chest in the room in front of you. Two "Puddings" will spawn. If you have a BLM sleep one while you kill the other. These are really tough mobs and without a full alliance you will not beat them. MAKE SURE you are fighting the puddings AWAY from the casters. You need max distance possible between the mobs and your casters because the Puddings have an Area Effect when they get low that does anywhere from 250-350 damage to everyone close enough. That is what killed our alliance last night...we we're ready for the AE.
I haven't completed it quite yet but we are going to try again tonight.
One thing we are going to do is get all of the Water Resist items we can find because the AE is water based.
Don't even know what he wants you to do with this vague information
If it's as simple as killing the skeletons, there all easy prey at around lvl 18 so their around 14 and 15 generally, but those guys are grouped together and you can't sneak past them in any way
Kind of a weird quest considering you get it at such a low level
The mines are located off of the Konschtat (sp?) Highlands. There's a canyon running off the east side of the area, and the mines are at the back. You'll know you're heading the right way when you see the mining equipment. There's a poltergeist that likes to hang out in this area, and if its night time, there will be a couple of ghosts in the canyon.
Deega is inside the mines. Head inside, and travel down the entrance tunnel. Just before you reach the first open area, you'll find Deega. Talk to him, and he'll say that he's going to apply an ointment to you in order to draw out the vermin, and that the ointment might have some strange side effects. It turns out that the side effect is to limit your maximum level, but the level limit is higher than 14 (the level I was at).
Now as for the reason you don't want to enter the mines for a while...
Once you reach the end of the tunnel, you'll quickly find out why you don't want to come here in the mid-teens. Where the tunnel opens into the first room, there are roughly a half dozen skeleton warriors, at least some of which were tough at level 14. They are all relatively close to each other, and its nearly impossible to pull one without getting at least one or two more.
