Description

> Here's an updated version of my Warp II walkthrough. It's much more detailed than its previous version, so I don't think anyone will get lost now.^^ >
> In order to get this quest, you must lead Shantotto to believe you're a total loser. >
> When you speak to her, she'll ask you a question. Off the top of my head, I can't remember what it is, but it's something about having a black mage buddy. Choose the second option. Shantotto will then ask you another question, and again, choose the option where she'll believe you're a total loser. (The second question I can't remember, but I think it's the second option too.) >
> Shantotto will bestow you with the title: Total Loser. >
> Before leaving Windurst, make sure you have some sort of warping ability, be it with a spell or with a scroll of Instant Warp. >
> Then, head out to Beaucedine Glacier. To get there, however, you need to travel through Ranguemont Pass in northeast East Ronfaure. >
> In Ranguemont Pass, you will see a pair of Elvaans standing before a glowing granite door. Speak to the one behind the podium and he'll open the door for you. Once past the door, continue forward, hugging the right wall. You will then enter an area where you must walk across some ponds. Right after it, you'll come across a fork with a Cave Scorpion at the intersection. Go to the left, but keep hugging the right wall. >
> Once in Beaucedine Glacier, follow the tunnel and head out onto the glacier. Keep following the one-way route until you pass the first tower. A little bit further, the road splits at (H-9) to the north and east. Keep going east as north leads to Xarcabard. When you reach the cliff, head northeast to (I-8) where you have to take the slope downward. Once you do so, head north and you'll see the tower at (I-7) where Torino-Samarino is at. The tower, at least when I went to it, had Living Statues in the first area. Head down the stairs and you'll see Torino-Samarino. Drop invisible and speak to him and you'll get the Key Item: Shantotto's New Spell. However, do not recast Invisible until you leave the sight of the Living Statues as they aggro to magic. >
> Head back outside to the glacier and head south to (I-9) and head down the slope once more. Head east to (J-9) then head north, past the tower and a frozen pond to (J-6) where you will need to head down another slope that leads to an open field. Here, make sure you have Invisible on as goblins and golems roam around the area. (Previously, I had said to Sneak up, but undead rarely roam here.) Head north and you'll see Fei'Yin. >
> In Fei'Yin, you'll find numerous magic pots, dolls, evil weapons and golems which all aggro to magic, so be careful when recasting your spells. For the most part, all you need is Sneak to traverse through Fei'Yin. Golems, however, do aggro to sight so be sure to cast Invisible when you see them. If you follow this guide, you should only encounter golems once and I'll let you know where. >
> Also, when I say "head north", make sure your character is running north according to the compass. By north, I'm not saying keep going forward. Just be sure to change your camera angle each time I mention a new direction. >
> Once inside Fei'Yin, keep walking down the hallway and you'll enter a small room with more than likely just bats in it. Keep heading straight and down a small flight of steps up until you get into another room, this one much bigger than the previous one you were in. Take the eastern (G-9) hallway. As you traverse through this hallway, it'll fork twice. Just keep walking straight until you come across another room. Take the northern hallway, which will curve to the west and down a flight of steps. >
> At the bottom of the steps, you should be safe if you need to rest up. If you see Underworld Bats roaming across the hallway, just walk up on the steps and rest up there. >
> Once ready, walk down the hallway until you reach a room at (H-8). Take the northwestern exit into a hallway that'll fork. Keep heading north and follow the hallway as it curves to the east, leading you to another fork; this one going north and east. Go north at the fork and stop a few steps short of the room you should now be facing. >
> In the room before you, you'll find golems. Be sure to cast Invisible or use Prism Powders now. The golems conned "easy prey" to a level 75, though they did not aggro. I'd hate to see what they do to someone not as high-levelled. >.< >
> Once you have both Sneak and Invisible up, head into the room and follow the left wall. Walk past two doorways and head into the third. Here, hug the right wall, past a room full of Dromas, and into a hallway. You've done it! Open the first cermet door on your right and you'll see a cutscene with Rukusu. Cast Warp on yourself, or use an item with an equivalent effect, to leave Fei'Yin. >
> Return to Windurst and talk to Shantotto. After a cutscene, she'll reward you with the Warp II scroll and the title: Doctor Shantotto's Flavor of the Month.

Fame: 4
Must do the 2 prereq quests. I did the 2 second options when you talk with her for the Warp 2 quest. She NEVER gave me the title "Total Loser" however she kept calling me one.

Make sure you visit the tarus in B.Glacier before going into Fei'yin >_<. I forgot to do that and had to go back.

Fame or?
# Apr 23 2006 at 10:31 AM Rating: Decent
I finished the two quests from her before this. Now when i try to talk to her she just talks about random crap...

Do i need a certain fame do this quest? Or do I just need to wait longer to get it. I'm about to hit 40 BLM so I need this!

No idea but I'm fame level 4 and can't get this quest.

I suspect theres a missing prerequisite somewhere.

Tried zoning, waiting a game day, etc.

As the other poster said he didn't do it until L50 maybe that is a prerequisite... might have to find a way to get the 350,000 gill for the scroll for 10 levels :(


Edited, Sat Apr 29 18:14:03 2006
can you get scroll at level 6

You could quest this at Level 1.

Just as long as you have a friend high level black mage.

repeatable?

Is this quest repeatable..? the only reason i ask is that i've seen the same person sell about 7 of these scrolls.
huh.

I dont think you're able to do this quest if you're still on the Ulmia portion of PM5-3.

reason being, those 3 tarus are part of the mission, and when i talked to them for the Warp II quest, they kept rambling on about the elvaan and the girl. No key item whatsoever. >.>

"The second question I can't remember, but I think it's the second option too."

How can you forget such a memorable line as "Whatchu talkin' bout, Shantotto?"
Corrections after completion

I thought I'd add a couple things after just doing this quest today.

1. I never received the title "Total Loser" at -any- point during this quest. It is not a requirement at all. I chose both second options at the start, so I'm not sure why I didn't. As long as Shantotto sends you to Beaucidine Glacier and it appears in Quest log, you are good to go.

2. I walked right in front of a golem in Fei'yin as 41 blm and was not aggro'd. I do not believe invisible is needed inside Fei'yin.

You were extremely lucky then, I've been aggro'd by them at lvl 50. Shell out the whopping 4k and use a powder, it saves a lot of trouble.
a difficult time
# Mar 06 2006 at 12:26 PM Rating: Decent
I am having a HARD time completing this, dying about 10x. Here a few things I did (wrong?)

Earlier I tried completing this as White Mage 46, title of Total Loser was not a problem to obtain. Then tried as Black Mage 43 as Shantotto asks for a Black Mage to speak to them.

I've spoke with all three taru's in the tower in the Glacier and each time in Fe'Yin, the door is still locked. I have yet to obtain "Shantotto's New Spell". I also have never got the quest in my log and my Fame is level 5. Each time was also through tele-Vahzl into the Glacier...

A friend of mine completed this (with me), but when he spoke with Shantotto he was given a title of "Hexer Vexer" and succeeded in getting the scroll. What gives?!

Questions
# Feb 21 2006 at 7:51 PM Rating: Default
NEED RANK4 FAME.

CHOOSE THE 2nd OPTION BOTH TIMES WHEN SHE ASKS YOU QUESTIONS.

MAKE SURE YOUR TITLE IS TOTAL LOSER AND YOU HAVE THE QUEST NAME UNDER CURRENT IN WINDY BEFORE HEADING OUT.

Easy, althoguh the first time I forgot to talk to the guy by the tower and had to go back ><

Great walkthrough. Almost perfect, but I think I'll add this.

After you choose the option that makes Shantotto give you the title Total Loser, make sure you have the quest in your quest log as well. If you replace or lose the title of Total Loser, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you have the title AND the quest before overwriting your title. I did another quest and lost Total Loser, thinking I needed it to complete the quest. Wrong. I completed it without that title.

Quote:
you'll see Torino-Samarino. Drop invisible and speak to him and you'll get the Key Item: Shantotto's New Spell

When you talk to him, choose the second answer to receive the Key Item. I think it was something about being "cursed and doomed" by Shantotto.

What a great guide! This was a cakewalk, thanks so much! I even liked how the walkthrough lead you through the Glacier to Fe'yin, I still have trouble finding my way there -.- And the CS was pretty cool. Kudos ^_^ I was afraid I did it wrong when Shantoto asked me those questions but I still got the CS at Fe'yin :P
Please don't steal mobs!!!

I just had to go help a friend of mine with his Beastmaster AF quest in Fei'yin. He died on his first attempt due to a couple of people doing this quest :(((

They came through as he was switching pets, and the NMs name went yellow. It was almost dead so they claimed it hoping for an easy drop. It had taken him almost an hour to get it to this point!! He had to go back and start all over again to get the NM to spawn!

The NM is a ghost type and ONLY drops the key item for the BST AF, nothing else!!! If you happen across an NM ghost in the room at F-5 on the lower floor, that is the BST AF NM and has to be spawned, it doesn't pop by itself. Please please please leave it alone!!

Thanks ^^
Thank you

Although the whole thing could do with a re-formatting, remove those angle brackets and such, this guide was perfect!

Got my Warp II scroll in about 30-40 minutes, with no problems along the way. ^^

Wootaru!

P.S. You might want to add you need to wait one Vana'diel day after completing the previous Shantotto before she will give you this one though.
fame level?

This guide is really good. Me (41rdm/blm) and my friend (51rdm/blm) did this in like 45 minutes. Had to Sneak/Invis the whole way, never used silent oils/prism powders, and never had any aggro. I had map of Fei'Yin, which helped. Beaucedine Glacier took longer b/c we didnt have map. Didnt see any golems, only some high lvl Uttaku in front of Cermet Door that caused problems, but thankfully they only aggro to sound. Any it is okay to leave off invis in front of Living Statues to talk to Torino - Samarino, and he is right near the entrance of tower.

well after being lvl 50 and pissing everyone off from lvl 40-50 i finally decided to solo this quest one night...i did it in about 2 hours from start to finish (exclude the windurst part). It was really fun once i got to Fei-yin sneaking and invising around...I waited till 50 so I could have invisible on me blm

This turned out to be the easiest spell quest I have done yet. If you are spending money to buy this spell, you are so incredibly lazy, that pressing the attack button must be a chore for you.
Hats off to the pioneers that took the time to write down their winning strategy.
fun quest

Just finished this as 47DRK, only used 2silent oils and 1prism powder in Fei'Yin, no maps.. I don't really recommend it XD
