Summary

Phara needs some sword grip material to repair her son's sword. The material can be found in a tent in Davoi. Once repaired, Phara wants to give the sword to her grandson.

Walkthrough

Begin this quest by speaking to Phara, who is standing at J-9 in front of the residential district of Bastok Mines. She will request some sword leather.

Next, head to Davoi to find some sword leather. Search the orc tents at K-9 and K-10 to find a hidden flap, which randomly appears throughout the area. When you examine the hidden flap, two notorious monster orcs -- Gavotvut and Barakbok -- will appear. After defeating the orcs, you must search the area again for the hidden flap. Examine it again to receive your sword leather.

Return to Bastok Mines and trade the leather to Phara. Wait one game day and speak to her again, and she will give you a key item, Yasin's Sword, and ask you to give it to her grandson Naji.

Find Naji, who is standing outside the president's office in the Metalworks. Talk to him to receive your Razor Axe.

This quest is part of the artifact gear quest series for Warrior. The quest series includes:

So this was interesting, I spawned the two nms, got aggrod a lot and died. Luckily a couple other people were passing by and raised me after killing off the nms themselves. Then when I attempted the fight again I instead just got the "Sword grip material" key item I needed. So to complete this quest I guess all you have to do is spawn the nms, they must die, and you can't zone. That's about it.
Much thanks to Magicalflame and Deathopulas on Sylph for helping me out on this one :)

Did this today with one problem witch I should point out. 54rdmg/27blmmg cleared the area first, clicked on the flap. POP they come the caster was real easy so went for him first, plus using aspir to replenish my own aspir for the next one thw war. he's the one that has the hp!! well sorry to say two reg's spawned and agroed then more and so on. running out of mp and hp with no back ups. I decided to focus on the main one and i did kill him but had to run to zone then came back to check the flap again well I had to refight both of them again!! so do not zone out unless a must. However I beat them with no problems afterwards. just pick a good spot for less respawns like behind a tent! and take out the caster first he's real easy!! good luck :)

Just soloed as 75 Rdm/Whm. Was an easy fight though long due to their high HP count. Just kept stoneskin and phalanx up during the fights and didn't take any damage the entire time. The surrounding orc's will link if they get close so you may want to clear the place out if they will be a threat to you though at level 75 they were <Too Weak>.

wanted to note you don't have to wait an hour to get the sword, just for the day to change, so if you time it so that you trade the sheath at 22:00 you can get the sword in like 5 min when it hits 00:00. just a thought.

I'd solo them as SAM75/DRG37, was so easy, even i got 3 links, i'd start with the DRK NM cause he used Blood Weapon, tachi:kasha helps a lot by paralyzing the mobs, but with meditate + jumps, was able to solo a lvl 2 skillchain who does over 400 damage.

Piece of cake

Just did this for my War as my 75Mnk with my 71Mnk buddy helping. Was pretty easy, I took one out while he took the other one out. Didn't need to 2hr, could have for the fun of it though, lol. Didn't even need to sub Nin or anything. Of 'course, it's always fun to backflip off of somethings face. :P

I just helped a LS member complete this quest today. We had a complete overkill set up with a 71WHM, 69PLD, 65DRK(me) and 42WAR. The PLD was already there when we arrived to Davoi and wanted to see if he could solo them so he checked the spot to spawn the Orcs. When I arrived Barakbok was almost dead and Gavotvut was unclaimed. I engaged Gavotvut and got off a Guillotine when the others joined in. Shortly after he was dead. After we cleaned up the links we re-searched for the hidden flap and the WAR checked, respawning the NM's which went down just as easily as before. I was a little disappointed that my highest guillotine was only 1149 but I only had my +ACC gear. Once again we cleaned up the links and found the hidden flap pretty quickly, WAR got the item and we were finished. Unless you have someone that wants to try to solo these NM's or just want to have fun, make sure the person doing the quest checks the hidden flap both times to avoid fighting them twice. The other orcs in the area are significantly weaker than the NM's so taking them out before would be easy, not take a lot of time, and build up some good tp to use on the NMs. This was a fun little quest and I'm glad I actually got to help someone else for a change rather than always being so needy and asking everyone else for help.

Went as my 75whm/nin and a friend 55bst/nin. We killed everything around for 300tp. Then I spawned them. First off I went for the drk. Hexa Stricke for 1028 and with Stoneskin and Utsemi: Ni up, I never got hit. Bst had a beetle out and took the war mob down to 65%. I killed drk then Hexa the war taking hate then we killed it. Easy fight over all.

Solo'd this as 61 pld/30rdm (yes i know pld/rdm can do almost anything), the fight took about 8 mins. Those NM's are a joke (kinda). The warrior NM was worse than the drk. They missed alot and did about as much as an easy prey mob when they hit.... I just looked at my logs and the warrior NM was actually an easy prey, 20 xp. Just kill the drk first, didn't need to buff AT ALL (I forgot to) didn't sleep any mobs just alot of hits and about 12 vorpal blades later 2 dead NM's. I even felt comfortable enough to use Gsword during the last half of the warrior NM. >.> overall abit of fun^^, stick some good music on and follow the path of {Death} and {Self-Destruct}ion. Now onto help a LS person get his RDM AF sword @_@

I beat the NM's no problem as 73sam/rng a few sidewinders took them down easy. but killing 2 NM's and 9 links isnt as easy as it looks... i walked away as 99/1230. My advise... kill all orcs around the spawn and you will be ok a 60nin could kill these.

As long as you start the quest with your war by having Phara send you to Davoi, you can complete this as any job.^^

A few things of note:

1) When you click on the flap the first time, it will ask if you want to enter. Go ahead and do so; all that will happen is that the two NMs will pop where you are standing.

2) Any orcs that are around can and will link in, so if that's a concern, then you'll want to take care of that.

3) Two NMs will spawn: Barakbok (drk) and Gavotvut (war). According to parser, Barak had 4021 hp and Gavot had 6805. They both will end up using their 2hrs.

Good luck.^^

Tryed to duo this with bro as 51war and me as 59blm. ES+SleepII was resisted, so im guessin these NM's cant be slept. We cleared area popped then Bro 2Hrs after sleep resisted, looks bad so i try to escape us, inturupted 3x so we just stick it out. i mainly cured with occasional nuke. Drk went down and i 2hr cause im out of mp. Made my mistake there by castin Burst for 800 and didnt dent the wars bar too much. Equipped Eva gear and bro did all he could to take hate. I recasted SS 5-6times in fight. Had a pop on us and i died shortly after. It depopped since i linked, and bro took NM to about 2% when it respawned on him and killed him. HP Bro changes to 71drg go back and pwned it. Would have won if i didnt Burst and take hate and die. Main thing dont count on sleep, get high lvl or two tanks for these, other than that fairly easy

that doesn't work. I tried it today, so your ether a liar or SE fixed it in an update.

I spawned the orcs and used flee to run around and find the new flap. checked it and it said "event skipped" I got nothing. no sword leather... nothing. I then made a huge train to the zone.

Just solod this as PLD66/WAR33
Fight took about 5-6 mins from clearing the possible links for TP to finishing off the 2nd NM.
Started off with the DRK NM and took him down without too much trouble. WAR NM died even faster than the DRK, so for people getting ready to do this i suggest starting with the DRK NM first.
now to go hand in the key item and wait an hour.

The message repeats when clicked again. The Hide Flap does not move either. She's a 40+ WAR/NIN and has started the quest. Any ideas on why this is happening? In advance, thank you. ^^

just soloed these two bad boys as 62THF/31WHm.

game plan was simple, DE one of the orcs and use sleep bolts to keep the other one at bay. Well that plan went out the window mighty quick, sleep bolts rarly give the sleep affect on these guys, possibly a feature of all NMs, but to be honest this was the first timed i even tried useing sleep bolts on an NM. another downer that made it's attention rather quickly was Gavotvuts insane hp's. my first DE hit it for 400 damage, but didnt even take his hp down by 10%.

After about 5 mins my hp and Gavotvuts looked about the same, both really low, i had 0 mp, havn't even touched Barakbok, and the iceing on the cake was i stupidly did a range attack on a near by lizzy, thinking it was barakbok, however sleepbolts worked just fine on it. the thing that saved my life, was i remebered energy drain, just in the nick of time too, and Barakdok has plenty of mp to spare, once i remeberd energy drain the rest of the battle was cake.

some helpfull hints, don't waste you're time with sleep bolts, bring for links, but no good the NM's. and also, if you dont' have aspir or energy drain, or any other mp stealer, kill Barakdok first, he died about 5 times faster (and that was with me energy draining and not DEing), also i noticed he hits harder.

My Tactics
# Mar 22 2005 at 3:49 PM Rating: Decent
5 posts
I did this a couple of weeks ago with my static party which is setup like this:
lvl 40 War/Mnk(me)
lvl 42 Mnk/Sam
lvl 42 Thf/Nin
lvl 41 Whm/Smn
lvl 41 Rdm/Blm
lvl 40 Blm/Smn

We were short the Blm/Smn, so we had only a 5 man party.

Here is what we did; our initial tactic was to have the Red Mage elemental seal and sleep the Drk Ors,...this failed so we had to resort to our back up plan which was to having our thief "kite" the Drk orc in a tight circle around the camps where the tent flaps spawned. The rest of us concetrated on the War. The mnk two-houred once I deemed my hate control safe while rdm nuked and played back-up healer to our whm. Meanwhile the thf/nin lead the drk on a merry chase keeping his hp high with a combination of bloody bolts and utsusemi.
Towards the end of the fight with the war ork, our red mage hit convert followed by our whm two-houring benediction. This allowed the whm to rest while the rdm shouldered main healing duties until whm regained mp. The war ork was dead shortly after and I grabbed the Drk off of our thf and it was all gravy after that

Purely lucked out, here. I went to Davoi expecting to die... I'd never been there before and the sheer concentration of DC orcs in one spot was disconcerting, to say the least... then something wonderful. 75 MNK and 75 WHM appeared, killed everything in front of the Hide Flap in several seconds - they were apparently farming the orcs in the area.

I noticed rather quickly that they were Japanese, so I asked them through the translator if they could help me with my [Warrior] [Artifact] [Axe] [Quest], Kenbo the Monk, agreed to help me and invited me into the group. After a few seconds of struggling with the translator, we got it figured out that the necessary NPC item was only off to the left of the first clearing. He asked me if there were any NMs to be fought, and I replied that there were two and I had to spawn them for the quest. He grinned and ran over to the Hide Flap while the WHM backed me up. I entered the tent to nothing, and came back out just as Barakbok and Gatotuvut [I believe that's their names...] spawned. They chewed through my Utsusemi shadows in less than two seconds, I'm not sure how...

On my third shadow, Kenbo sprang into action, attacking both at once to gain hate. I never got touched again during the INSANELY short battle. He popped off an Asuran Fists WS every five or so seconds for far over 1000 damage, taking the WAR first. Halfway through, it used Mighty Strikes and he hit Hundred Fists for overkill, every strike hitting for more than 150 damage, punctured with an incredible Asuran Fists attack at intervals. The WAR NM soon fell, and he opened up on the DRK with Asuran Fists and finished it off with the rest of his Hundred Fists 2HR. The whole fight took at most a minute. He hit Hundred Fists and it didn't wear off until after the fight.

So, WAR AF1 was acquired at 0:31 after I got back home to Bastok and spoke to Phara and later on to Naji [Nice cutscene], and I'm back to leveling my clearly gimped subjob.

I've have now tried this 3 times as of a couple minutes ago. I followed the solo formula verbatum the first time as 40war/nin, and got aggroed by the DRK NM while invisible when I ran past him on the way back. Seems they gave the NMs TrueSight/See Invisible recently.

Second try I went as 31thf/nin, didn't get aggro but they despawned while I was resting a bit so that a damage spell wouldn't kill me during perfect dodge. Flap was in the same place as before. I didn't get through the flap when I checked it, one of the warmachines and an orc got me immediately.

Third try, again thf/nin and no reraiser this time (price has gotten to 12k, they were 2k a few months ago), flee around the camp then perfect dodge and check the flap. Again, the flap was in the exact same place as when i spawned the NMs. It said "Event skipped".

Don't know if I did this wrong or if its been fixed so you can't stealth solo it anymore. Either way, I can handle putting this off a bit longer.

EDIT: Did this last night using the solo method and it worked. There were a couple of 60+'s in the area and they might have killed the NMs, don't know because I didn't check.

I asked for "a little help" getting my AF1 a month or so ago, and... well. My LS can be a little crazy about these things. We ended up with two-thirds of an alliance:

- BLM60
- RDM64
- BRD71
- PLD58
- WHM64
- SAM58

- THF65
- DRK61
- PLD59
- WHM58
- SMN64
- WAR40

Our RDM is more than a little crazy, so he decided (without asking) that he should make the event a little more challenging, so he rounded up roughly three-quarters of Davoi in a train that would make Amtrak proud, then and told me to spawn the NMs. It took 5-10 minutes to kill everything -- f*ck you very much Odjin -- but no one died and a good time was had by all. We roasted marshmallows too, as I recall.

So I say pooh! to doing this quest with stealth and clever tactics: the obvious answer is to bring a fleet of friends to annihilate the Orcish population of Davoi, and get your useful-for-three-levels AF Axe.

After spamming in Jeuno for help 2-3 times without luck,
I went to Davoi and try there. This is the best way cause many hi-lvls farm there. So I ask a War75, and a Rdm65 they say yes. We went to K-9 and I asked a passing bye Drg62 to help he said yes too (I was afraid of someone hi-lvl die for me). I spawned the 2 nms the War75/Whm37 (farm?) really raped them. Too easy pawning, Thank you guys!

Easy as pie. Got a tele to Bastok, took my stable collar with me. Grabbed a scroll of reraise, sub NIN,
and Tonko'ed up. Head south from Davoii entrance, you'll stumble upon a camp with Beastriders and such, tab around til you hit the tent flap. un-invis, check it, and wait til the two NM's aggro to you. Train the whooooole camp as far as you can away, and when you die, wait a few seconds til they start to move away. Reraise, re-invis, and run on back. All told it took me about 3 minutes in Davoi to get the item. Warped back to Bastok and talked to Phara just before midnight, zoned inot my Mog House, waited about thirty seconds (yay ^^) and got the Sword, went back into Mog House, zoned into the Metal Works, gave the item to Phara's husband, reverse the process, and got my AF1. Solo the whole way, entire thing took me about 20 minutes.

I went there as 73PLD/30WHM and raped them no problem.

I cast Blink and Stoneskin on myself, rested to full MP then spawned them.
I made sure I had Regen on me during the fight and I didn't really need to heal much after that as I was getting 6 HP per tick and they were missing me most of the time.

A few Vorpal Blades and Swift Blades later they both dropped to my feet. Lol XD

Pretty easy guys, don't worry about it.
I am positive any 2 Lv50+ jobs can duo this.

ReveredAnimal: "...gave Barakbok a 700 dmg spirits within (300 tp)..."

I can say this with full certainty that this is impossible.
You say you were a Lv63 PLD at the time and listed your equipment. You did not use Pigeon earrings, Bomb Queen ring etc. to boost your HP up whatsoever. And furthermore you were only level 63. So with this in mind it would be impossible for you to get a 700 damage Spirits Within.

With my Level 73 Hume PLD and with all my HP gear I get my HP to 1400+ and the most I have ever done using Spirits Within is 663 damage.
So you being 10 whole levels lower than me and not having equipped HP+ gear there is absolutely no way you could have reached a higher HP mark than me which therefore means you could not have achieved a damage of 700.

That is all.

Level40 solo (ninja stealth)
# Feb 18 2005 at 7:20 AM Rating: Decent

I would just like to confirm that you can solo this quest. Here's how it went for me:

I went in as a lvl40 war/nin, used ninjitsu invisible and found the first tent flap. I then scouted round for a safe place to draw the NMs to. I chose the little loop that runs around the back of the camp. There were some EP war lizards there (no aggro) and one EP Orc, who spotted me during an invisible recast, so I had to take him out. Turned out to be a tough EP, as he gave me 45xp and left me in the red.

After recoving from that, I used a scroll of re-raise, put up my shadows, put on invis, went back to the tent flap and activated it. As soon as the NMs spawned, I ran back to my safe spot, and then stood there waiting to die, in a manner that would have made Obi Wan proud ;)

Once the NMs were satisfied I was dead, they and their entourage wandered off, but I had foolded them, my re-raise scroll meant I was only playing-dead and could rise from the grave! Again, shadows up, invis on, and ran out to find the next tent flap.

Suffering from death sickness, and so low on HP, I was worried I would not have time to activate it, and the thunder elemental hovering around threatened to catch me recasting invis if I tried to heal up. So after some feeble attempts at HP recovery, I took the risk and went for the flap.

I was spotted immidiately, and a crossbow bolt took out one of my shadows, so I hastily searched the tent (spamming enter) and found the sword grip material!

My remaining shadows soon fell, and the entire camp fell upon me. They were too late. I had my prise, and they were just giving me a free port back to Jeuno!


If you don't mind taking an XP hit, I recommend this ninja stealth method of stealing from the Orcs. Thanks to those who previously posted this method!

Well this should be easy enough, unfortunatly i died twice. I went in as War/Nin 46/23 and did everyhting Mutleyx x suggested. after reraise i had to throw up nin inviso because of an orc who wandered to my safe spot. I found the 2nd tent flap no problem but 3 orcs stood next to the flap. I went behind the tent well out of sight and decided to put up ninja shadows so as to hav enough time to touch the flap due to low hp because of sickness as i was putting inviso back up an orc who wasnt even in line of sight came around the tent and took me out before I could get to the flap. As I am not one to give up (having solo'd most of the first 4 ranks) I returned and got everything set back up. I touched the flap headed for my safe spot and waited to die. The warrior nm kept missing me and the other wasnt hitting for much and it took a while to die. I then noticed i had no reraise. On further inspection i found the scroll had expired 3 hits before the NM's took me out. After attempting twice and my ls members telling me to saty out of Las Vegas (no luck) a 60 and 75th lvl RDM came to raise and help me complete quest. It took 33 mins for them to show and they raised me.
I pit up shadows, they cast inviso i found 2nd flap and no orcs were present ( due to 7oth lvl PLD who had cleared area. I touched flap to get the material, the NM's respawned, the 75th lvl RDM lost hid it connection and the 60th lvl was punching escape macro due to a server wide lag problem that had 1037 gm calls. She made it out I died again and she tractor'd and raised me. This solo idea is a good one but everything needs to go right and a little luck will help.

lesson learned.
Patience and do not get over confident. I should have gone back to safe spot to rebuff in the first Battle, and I would have done it np. 2nd battle dont worry about how many orcs are in front of the tent cause you need to be take out as soon as you get to safe spot had I just walked up popped off inviso and touched flap not caring about the camp aggro my scroll would not have expired. The 3rd try well just remember the quest does reset if you don't get to 2nd flap soon as the NM's respawned. and maybe your server won't crash during NM battle. My freinds wont let me solo this now and we have apt going in 2 days so i guess ill have af1. I want todo this solo but don't want to hurt my pt's feelings. The PLD 2 hour would be perfect for this but better for the 2nd flap then the first.
Thanks Mutley for the direction and I hope everyone continues tto have as moch fun as I do.
thanks

Gavotvut had 6825 give or take 100. I was hitting for 70-120 and doing Vorpal for 550-700.

Solo'ing WAR AF1

This is amazingly easy to solo with any low-lvl job. I used the same strategy that I used in solo'ing my MNK AF2.

Once the quest is activated by Phara in Bastok Mines get a scroll of Instant Reraise and head to Davoi with a low-lvl job. Make sure to have Prism Powder and Silent Oil with you. You'll mainly need the Prism Powder for the orcs.

Once in Davoi find the Tent Flap and then find a safe place to use the scroll of Instant Reraise. After using the scroll go spawn the NM's by inspecting the tent and then get to the safe place. It's preferrable to use a PLD or THF for the 2hr when spawning the NM's.

Once in the safe place let the orcs kill you and wait until they are all away and it's safe to reraise yourself. Apply Prism Powder again and find the Tent Flap. It will have moved from the original location. There is no need to wait for sickness to leave, just find Tent Flap and examine it again for the Sword Gripe Material.

Once you have obtained the material head back to Bastok to talk to Phara again. He will then have you wait 1 VD day (1 earth hour) until speaking with him again to obtain the Key Item Yasin's Sword. You will then need to talk to Naji in Metalworks (outside the President's Office) to obtain your WAR AF1.

BTW, I used a lvl 2 PLD to solo this.

63pld/25nin, wasnt very hard at all. I used DD gear, amemit mantle, spike earrings and necklace, sarashi (enhanced duel weield), two yag drinks, meat mith, veneerer ring, sun ring, and I duel wielded a gluttony sword and a bastard sword.

Saved up about 200 tp killing orcs around the flap. Took the drk first and save my TP, gave Barakbok a 700 dmg spirits within (300 tp) as soon as he used blood weapon at about 50% hp, then proceded to slash them to pieces with my swords, faught Gavotvut and used invincible when he used mighty strikes. Keeping shadows up wasnt too hard because they missed a lot.It was pretty easy. Had 956 hp and 2 mp left over.
