Summary

You are to go to the Gusgen Mines and pass the same trial as Oggbi's former student, Cornelia. Use a pickaxe on a certain hole in the mines to lure the Wandering Ghost out. Defeat it and bring back its miner's pendant.

Walkthrough

To start this quest, go to Port Bastok and talk to Oggbi at E-6.

Next, get a pickaxe and head to Gusgen Mines. Look for a ??? around G-7, and trade your pickaxe to the ???. Doing so will cause the notorious monster Wandering Ghost to spawn. Kill the NM and it will drop the Miner's Pendant. Bring that back to retrieve your Beat Cesti.

To get to the ??? in Gusgen Mines go straight across the first map and down the stairs. Use the left hand door to enter the second map. Go to the room in the northwest corner and follow the corridor that runs west from this room. This will take you down to a new map. Go to the second room. The ??? is located on the left side of the room toward the back. There is another ??? on the left side at the back of a shed (this is not the one you want).

Quest Series

This quest is part of the monk Artifact Gear quest series:

I did this a week ago with some of my friends. First off, the Cesti isnt all that good, i only did it so i can do the rest of my AF. This fight isnt difficult at all. my party was:

52PLD
52WHM
41RNG
42MNK<me>

the fight wasnt bad at all, we didnt even have a full party, yet we had no problems, the biggest problem was more of an annoyance, and that being some minor agro on me and the RNG on the way in because we were low lvls. this is an easy fight, dont worry about a lot of high lvl help, it's not very challenging at all.

Hope this helped ^^

Just did this quest. Party was: 47mnk/war (me),
59drg/war, and 59drk/nin. It wasnt that hard to kill the wondering ghost, however the drg (tank in this battle) got down to 1/3 hp, and since we had no heals, I 2hred. Took us maybe 3 min to kill it (w/o hundred fists woulda been significantly longer). He does have alot of hp.
The hard part was getting out of the mines, somebody had closed the door behind us. We /shouted and /telled to every one in there... finally, after like 45 mins some kind hearted fellow let us out. lol! bring a scroll of warp ><

My friend(Armurod) and I just did this quest for my mnk today on the Pheonix server. He's a lvl 62drg/31war and i'm a 41mnk/20thf. Using food and a hundred fists and he did pentathrust we were able to pull this quest. But it was a close fight. I would recommend that if you arent sure u know are good enough playing ffxi and you are not comfortable w/ your character, have at least another lvl 50-60 character helping out.

60 PLD
60 BLM
56 WHM
40 WHM
46 MNK <- Me
60 RDM

Everything except the bombs down there didn't agro me, so it's not that hard to get down there as long as people are at a good level. The flies agroed the lower WHM though, so you have to be careful about that if you want it at 40.

The fight took a little bit of time, but it wasn't hard, no close calls or anything. The PLD was only taking about 15-20 damage from it each hit. The BLM used Manafont for fun simply to cast Ancient magic at it. We then killed it another time so she could have one to wear (she's silly like that), and a third time to help a 60 THF/WHM get their MNK AF1. No one used 2 hours either of those times.

Just thought it was funny that no one used their 2hr, yet the BLM used Manafont for fun^^

BLM used Manafont the first time, then no one 2Houred the next two rounds. Hence, "either" instead of "any."

Grammar police, away! *whoosh*

I did this just abit ago and it wasn't that difficult.

Party -
MNK/WAR - 41/19 (leveling sub now..I was on a MNK binge, have to catch WAR up now.
DRK/WAR - 54/27
RDM/??? - 53/26

The RDM Sneak/Invised me when we got into the Aggroing area, and the DRK expretly cleared out the area around the spawn. When we were ready I spawned it and the DRK voked, I had 100% tp built up already and used Raging Fits for a measly 90ish, then two houred and did what I could as the DRK did 120+ per hit. This thing has MASSIVE ammounts of HP, I used RF about 4 times, and the DRK used Vorpal about the same ammount of times. It wasn't too difficult though, the RDM was very skilled and kept the DRK alive, he(DRK) kept hate most of the time 'cept after acouple of Cure IVs.

I'm sure it would be much more difficult with a party of 40s, I recommend 50 help.

Pointless fun

I did this only because it's a prerequisite to AF2. The AF1 certainly isnt worth using even at the earliest you can use it.

Our party was me 50MNK, 50THF, 51BLM and 48WHM. I used hundred fists after an opening skillchain, mages did a bunch of nuking and some cursnas, and in a couple minutes it was done.

If the AF1 was actually good, I would have loved to do this quest with a full PT of low to mid-40s for more of a challenge, with a worthy reward. Oh well.
Not hard

This quest is called "Ghosts of the Past"

If you've done the San d'Oria quest "Healing the Land" it's in the exact same room.

The plot twist ending was kinda comical. The weapon however is not. I recommend Impact Knuckles over them.

Note: the Miner's pendant is wearable but has no function. I may go get another one so I can wear it and punk all the Monks that want to do this quest. 8)

Gusgen info

The ??? is located at (G-7) at the bottom of Gusgen mines, in the NW corner of the large room.

Wandering Ghost isn't too difficult, but does cast Curse, so watch out for that.

I did this a few days ago, it wasn't fun. You have to go very deep into Gusgen Mines to a room filled with high lvl aggro flies and undead. I had two Japanese friends helping me (lvl 64 NIN, lvl 63 RDM) so it wasn't a problem getting there. After I made the ghost spawn it took us a few minutes (that thing had high def and/or a damn lot of hit points) but we finally killed it. The Wandering Ghost is a lvl 45 mob too. A VERY good PT of 45-50's MIGHT be able to kill it, but overall I'd suggest high lvl help.
