Summary

Each week a different magical pattern appears inside a treasure chest somewhere. Give it to Guttrix and he'll reward you.

Walkthrough

UNDERSTANDING THIS QUEST

First of all, you will talk to Guttrix in Lower Jeuno. At any given time, only people of a certain race and gender can do this quest. When you speak to Guttrix he will tell you the current race/gender, and the area you must go to. For example, he may say that the current week is Male Hume, in Ordelle's Cave. This will change each Vana'diel week (8 real hours.)

FYI - Let's say you are Male Hume and it's your Vana'diel week. You have a key and are searching for a chest, but your time runs out (let's say it switches to Tarutaru Female) before you find one. When you open that chest, you will not get the magical pattern. However, if you open the chest during your race/gender's time and obtain the magical pattern, then you are safe. You can bring this pattern to Guttrix at any time and receive one of the pieces of your RSE.

Now, you need to go to the area and find a chest. There is only one chest at a time, and it will spawn randomly in one of several different spawning points. Once you open it with the proper key, it will respawn within 5 minutes or so at another random spawn point.

That brings us to the real meat of this quest:

  • Finding keys.
  • Finding the chest.

Note that you do not need this quest active to find a key. However, the keys (like all keys) are Rare Items - you can't carry more than one at a time.

Once you open the chest, you will receive a Magical Pattern. Again, this is Key Item - you can only carry one.

FYI - Yes, thieves can pick these chests and they will receive the pattern. Of course, you will still need to run back and forth to Jeuno each time you get one.

Bring this pattern to Guttrix, who will offer you your choice of the 4 RSE pieces. Repeat.

TIPS AND INFORMATION

The following information is copied directly from Anonymous's post. It's organized so well already, there was no point in reordering it, so I've dropped the whole thing right here in the hopes that more people will see it. I'm disappointed the poster was anonymous -- if this is you and you would like some credit, please let me know and I'll be happy to put your name up here.

Check out Shigun's post, 'Quest Information' for some very essential links. You should absolutely print out the treasure map (more later) for whichever dungeon you plan to visit. The online timer is also very useful in planning your excursion.

  • The quest is fame based. There are different theories on how Jeuno fame is calculated.. what I can tell you for *certain* is that attaining more fame in any other city will add to your fame in Jeuno in some way. The rough estimate of 40-50 total quests completed seems about right to me. Repeating a quest over and over again *does* count.
  • The goblin will tell you what magical pattern is available on any given week, and where it is. * The pattern will be in one of three dungeons, and can be found in a treasure chest. You need the maps available thanks to Shigun's post to reliably find the chest.
  • At any given time, only one chest exists within each dungeon. While its exact location is random, it will always be in one of 15-20 possible spots. See maps for this.
  • You need a key, unique to each dungeon, to open a chest in that dungeon. The key is a rare drop. You will hear a lot of information regarding which mobs drop the key. The truth is that almost any of the higher level mobs in each dungeon can drop the key. Some appear much more likely to drop than others.. but I have gotten keys off of mobs that "do not drop the key".. It REALLY pays to have a theif with you to help with key drops.
  • Unlike some keys.. this one must be traded with the Chest to open it. Once you open the chest, the key is gone, and you will need to find another one. Keys are RareEX..so you can only have one at any given time.
  • Once the chest has been opened, it will disappear. If it was opened by someone undergoing this quest, it will respawn in another location *immediately*.. there is little to no delay. However, if some unkind soul opens the chest purely for looting purposes, and is not there for Racial Gear.. it can take up to 30 minutes to respawn. So please be nice and do not open the chest unless it is your turn for Racial Gear.
  • If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, or do not have the quest active, and attempt to open the chest, you will not receive the magic pattern.
  • The magical pattern needed to get a piece of racial gear is a Key Item. This means, once you have gotten the pattern, you need to return to the goblin in Jeuno before you can get another. He will let you choose which of the four pieces you want.
  • At any given time, only one Race & Gender is elligible to receive Racial Gear. For instance, he may tell you Elvaan Male armor can be found at Ordelle's Caves. This means.. no one except for an Elvaan Male can receive the magical pattern. In other words.. there is NO FARMING. You can't get anybody else's armor. And you can only get each piece once. Once you have received all four pieces, the quest will end, and cannot be repeated.
  • This period of elligibility will last for one game week, or approximately 8 real hours. Unless you are experienced and very well prepared, you will have trouble getting four pieces in this amount of time. Once the week is up, you need to wait 7 game weeks before you can try again (generally about 2-3 real days). The quest will cycle through each race/gender in sequence. It helps to know the sequence, as well as the sequence of the eight days in a vandiel week. See the online clock in Shigun's post.
  • The three dungeons are not of comparable difficulty. One is significantly harder, and one is significantly easier. I do not want to completely spoil the quest for ppl who have done their homework.. but suffice it to say that some scouting/exploration/key hunting *before* your racial gear is available is highly recommended.
  • The time restriction of one game week applies only to finding a magical pattern. Once you have the pattern, however, it can be turned in at any time for a piece of armor. So, if you are pattern-hunting in a dungeon, keep trying until the very last minute.
  • American players tend to get very competitive, and maybe even a little rude ( /em recalls players refusing to give him a Raise) during this quest. This really isn't necessary guys! Everyone can get a piece of armor much faster if you play cooperatively. Just remember, as soon as one player opens a chest, a new chest will appear immediately, and that play will not be able to get another piece until they run back to Jeuno. So, be nice please!
  • A note on Racial Gear: generally speaking it will not have the best DEF of the armors available to you. It will have a lot of boosts to your stats. Whether these boosts help you are not depend on what you do for a living. The armor is designed to account for the weakness of each race. So, Tarutaru get huge boosts to HP, for instance, while Galka get huge boosts to MP, among other things. If you are playing a somewhat unorthodox character, or have a casting class as your subjob and need more MP, this armor can be very useful. If you are a tank, or pursuing a job your race is naturally well-suited for.. it may not be for you.
  • As for appearance.. it looks *exactly* like the starting, newbie armor you had when you first created your character, except that the colors will be all new. The ones I have seen all look nice to me, but what do I know?

Just because a few people did it to you doesn't mean that all Americans are bad people... Stereotypical asshat. And I always loved to do these quests, especially since the armors go for quite a bit of mulah.
Mithra day

Hiya, i dont know if any1 can help me but i am looking to do this quest for my Mithra character. I have the times planned for it, even the spawn locations for the chests but i am still confused with the times on a site i found http://www.pyogenes.com/ffxi/timer/v2.html. I was wondering if someone could tell me if the times on the bottom where it says a date for characters to do this & time, if it is in game time or earth time? :)

I was expecting to spend at least 4 hours on this quest today, but honestly? It only took me two hours! I got the shakrami key after three kills (on average)!! then I just warped back to jeuno and did it again. I went as a 53war/26nin... yeah, no help from TH at all.

It was simple and quick.
Easy Solo in Ordelle's Caves
# Sep 26 2008 at 12:36 PM Rating: Decent
I solo'd all 4 pieces down in Ordelle's caves in about 6 hours. Mind you I went as a 41BST/20WAR so most of the time was spent transiting back and forth from Jueno. I tried once before in Gusgen but there were just too many people down there to make it efficient to kill the key holders. I'm E Male so this stuff was a must for lvling mage jobs.
quick question

I don't know if it's a "number of unique quests" requirement, but there clearly is some sort of other requirement for doing this quest. I've been setting up my mule to redo this quest, and I've got what I believe is Lv 6 Jeuno fame ("Why, it's MULENAME! Your growing reputation precedes you. We hope your already substantial contributions to our humble city will continue to grow with time."), but I still get "Scram, small fry". I have unique quests done in all four cities, I leveled the mule to WAR2 (just to see if it was a Lv 1 problem), but none of that is working...

I confirmed tonight - Lv. 10 required. This was changed in an update in 2007, along with numerous other "high-profile" quests, such as the teleport quests, the NIN scroll quests, and a sprinkling of others.
Help?

I only did 3/4 of my RSE for Mithra but for some reason my quest says completed and I can't do it again. I want my feet! =[
Help?
# Jul 14 2008 at 3:23 PM Rating: Decent
Each time you do this quest it requires a little higher fame level than before.

Seems to be at the same rate as the 1st 4 gobbiebag quests.

So since you have 3/4, check to see if you also have enough fame to get the gobbiebag #4 yet.
i want to know who it starts and who it endson

I read some of the notes from the June update 2007.
The Goblin Taylor was listed as a lvl capped quest. I've checked around everywhere on different forums but yet to see what lvl you are capped at.
Generally any character above 50 can solo this quest so I might try this again on a mule to see exactly what SE has done to change to conditions of the quest.

Ok EDIT:
I got 3/4 Custom F RSE pieces and there seems no change to the quest at all..
At least at lvl 50 because I got the magical pattern every time.

Just spent a night doing teles and doing rse, i managed in a 3hr time to earn 50k in teles and get 3/4 rse <male elvaan> in one night. Was hunting in the Maze of Shak. and id have to say that the caterpillars there are your best bet for a drop, 3/4 keys for me were obtained through the filthy worms. Really not to hard, solo'd this whole thing with pwnage results as a 49war/22blm XD (for warp ppl :P) As far as spawn locations, might as well just collect a key a day or two in advance, then when its your week then you can go straight for the chest and collect another key while your there, BAM 2 for 1 basically. Hope this helps some how^^

Also it doesnt hurt if you have a friend who wants to help, the results may go even quicker, i say 2-3hrs total for whole quest from start to finish if you dont mess around

Yesterday Morning {GMT} it was Hume Guys time and firesday so it had only jus begun after i found tht out i headed straight for ordelles cave and went to fight goliath beetles, got the key on first fight and the chest was right near the ledge to drop down, i got the pattern and warped back, i thn thought i might aswell try and get thm all and i spent bout 8k on Teleport-Holla's and i got all the Custom Gear within 1 1/2 hours, i was very happy coz i thought it would take at least 3-4 hours :)
Question
# Aug 04 2006 at 1:33 PM Rating: Decent
Once you got the first piece of armor the quest. Is the quest now alway active until the last armor?
Question
# Aug 10 2006 at 8:49 AM Rating: Decent
This quest is active until you complete all 4 pieces, you don't have to talk to Guttrix again after having turned the Magical Pattern in.

Just did this as a Male Hume in Ordelle's Cave. It took me about 3 hours in time, about 10k in Teleport-Holla's and 5 Imp. Silver Pieces(made a couple mistakes, HP Aht Urhgan) I wasn't sure if you had to reactivate the quest or not so I warped back to be safe. Once you activate the quest, it remains active until you complete all 4 pieces, even though it falls under "Complete" after the first piece.

Key Locations:

Maze of Shakhrami - Caterchiphipillar?


Most of the links on this page aren't working; so I've stopped clicking on them. Could someone please just confirm for me that these mobs are the only key holders? Or if there are others could someone please list all?

Also, as long as I'm posting here I might as well ask this, though I'm pretty sure the answer would be yes. A level 50 BLM should be able to solo this right?
RE: confirmation
# Jun 15 2006 at 8:17 PM Rating: Decent
Indeed, the ones listed are not the only mobs.

Ordelle's Caves:

Stropers
Stroper Chymes
Goliath Beetles
Both Air and Water Elementals
Napalms
Goblin Shamans, Pathfinders, and Smithies

Maze of Shakrami:

Goblin Shamans, Pathfinders, Smithies, and Furriers
Air Elementals
Protozoans
Abyss Worms
Labyrinth Scorpions
Wights
Caterchipillar (I love that name for some reason)

Gusten Mines:

Sad Flies
Gallinippers
Rancid Oozes
Banshees
Greater Pugils
Thunder Elementals
Wendigos
Ghasts
Wights
Myconids
Mauthe Doogs

I may have missed a couple, but that's most of them. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a bunch of these.





RE: confirmation
# Jun 09 2006 at 8:36 PM Rating: Decent
I just got one off a Stroper in Ordelee Caves, so no beetles arent the only key holders

Edit: I just got another off a Goblin Furrier as well
