The First Meeting - MNK AF2
|
SummaryYou have been asked to head to Fei'Yin and help Dalzakk, one of Oggbi's students, with his task. WalkthroughGo to Port Bastok and talk to Oggbi at E-6. He will ask you to accompany Dalzakk to Fei'Yin. Next, go to Fei'Yin and zone into Qu'Bia Arena, and then zone back into Fei'Yin. You will trigger a cutscene and receive the key item Letter from Dalzakk. Go to Davoi and look for a 'Hide Flap' on a tent at (F-7). Clicking on the flap spawns two NM orcs named Bilopdop and Deloknok. After killing the orcs, investigate the 'Hide Flap' on the tent again to receive the key item San d'Orian Martial Arts Scroll. Return to Port Bastok and speak to Oggbi again to receive your Temple Gaiters. Note: This mission can be completed solo at any level. Simply use reraise before the two orcs spawn, then die, wait for the orcs to despawn and check the 'hide flap' again without zoning. Spawning the orcs will always cause the hide flap to move to a different tent close by. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the Monk artifact armor quest series:

a word of caution, the second part of this isnt all that easy. The mnk orc has an insane amount of HP and the paladin, although weaker, will support him with cures and protect. When you combine that with the links in the area, you might be in danger just by attrition from the mobs damage over time. Make sure you clear the area of links before trying this if you fight the mobs solo.

Ignore that note about teleporting/warping out ,, just enter arena, turn around and exit. get CS "then" warp or tele wherever you like
You r in a safe area(entering and exiting)why warp before u exit and get cs

ok for the mages out there, I soloed these as whm75/blm37. it was the most fun i have had in a long time. I was planning on dying and reraiseing but i thought i'd try to kill them first. i dont think drain/aspir would have been enough to keep me alive. Spirit Taker FTW! Meat kabob,some melee gear and
NO juices or drinks, just a meat kabob. spirit taker did 200ish damage and got 200ish mp back. I had 4 links and and a wasp that got cought in Sleepga. FYI this fight took 20-25 min. incl. killing 1 link. then i just sleepga and went to get other flap. In melee gear im at 975hp 975mp Taru power

To easy any 75 Job can take these 2 and any links no prob. Hmmm what to choose 75 Red 75 Thief or 75 Bard... Bard would take to long... Theif never get hit thats not that fun... RDM oh yeah lets have some fun.
75RDM/BLM Enhance up Refresh/Haste/Pro4/Shell4 and have fun
kill out some orcs Make sure you have Stoneskin and Phalanx up before popping even though you wont need them. I hardly got hit with all +STR gr (+32 with food) Grab 300% TP
pop out the 2 S. heads from the tent flap. You wont need Reraise this fight will be simple.
The monk mob resisted my Sleep2 so I said eh let the idiot hit me cast ice spikes.
Take on the Paladin the fight will be too easy went sort of like this. Aspir--> Blind---> Slow---> Drown---> Rasp---> Frost---> Pois2---> Dia2---> Spirits Within keep up your enhances and keep plugging in hits and use Savage Blade whenever you get 100% use Aspir when it comes up too keep those MPs coming. When he dies take on the MonKey. Do the same for the monk except don't cast Aspir (had to toss that in for slow people). Have fun he has a bunch of HP misses often and I only counted 2 counters he did 0 dmg.
You can have some fun with them two when Pld used Invincible I casted Stone1 just for sh*ts and giggles. When MNK pops 100 Fists did a Gravity and Bind Tech although I bet he would only land 1-10 of the 100.

My buddy and I did this fight as 75 Beastmasters, and it was no contest. Courier Carrie ripped that Monk NM apart and his Hundred Fists missed her just about every time. My buddy was using a lower-capped FunguarFamiliar against the Paladin NM with less success, but it died fast when I put Carrie on it and we double Rampaged.

well i decided to go the hard route, i just straight up tanked them, 75nin/war took on the mnk first since the pld was blind as hell, got to the 2hr thru on some eva gear SH+1, opti, evasion earring, forgot evasion torque in MH, got thru the 2hr with only really losing about 250hp, he missed me a ton, but he had a lot of HP, he died and i had about 200 hp, move on to the pld and took him down with ease with 74hp to spair.
oh yea i had a bowshooter shooting me the WHOLE time b/c i forgot about him lol

Solo'd this as 72Thf/nin. I had help clearing the area so I didn't have links or many repops when I did it. Used bloody bolts, acid bolts, and blind bolts. I never really went below 50% when I had both attacking me. After I killed the pld it was cake. Perfect Dodge when he Hundred fists and went back to full hp using bolts. All 'n all it wasn't that hard.
Sometimes when I can't sleep at night, I count the buckles on my straight jacket.
Not much of a story, really... but, I soloed this as PLD75/WHM37 -- Stoneskin ate most of the damage I would've taken... no normal attacks took more than 20 damage off me. Had Joyeuse and some haste gear, a shoddy DD setup with AF patching the holes. Cast cure 0 times, regen once, ended the fight with 611hp out of 1384, including some random damage from a mnk link that wandered into the fight at the end. Fought the pld first, til he used invincible, switched to the mnk until invincible wore off, switched back and finished off the pld. Pretty much just hung out until the mnk died... casting flash and stoneskin occasionally. Very soloable as PLD at 75.
I'd just be sure to note that when you zone into the BC at Fei'yin, just zone right back out. I haven't read every post prior to this one, but that point was somewhat unclear to me and I wanted to be certain that people knew :P

Soloed this yesterday as a 68 RDM/BLM
Cleared out some of the orcs between the spot i was gonna fight them at and the flap. Spawned them and pulled em over to the spot. was bad at first, only had 1 RNG-type link and was goin well. Mnk used as laughed as phalanx alone was enough to null most of it.
By the time i beat MNK, had 2 more rnglinks and 2 pld-type links. about half way through fight w/ pld i was down to wire on mp and HP for convert, but managed to use it just in time. At this point i was sleepgaing all the orcs that linked me and this fight.
When the PLD went down (he has wayyyy less hp than mnk) I gathered all the links near each other and sleepgaed one last time and went seachin for the flap. got it and escaped.
I must say aspir drain and sleepga saved the day. i had wished i brought my dagger along for pld so i could energy steal off him during fight.

This probably won't help many people since there aren't that many 75 Dragoons out there doing this quest but the Orcs in Davoi are definately soloable by DRG/MAGE although you kind of have to ghetto the fight a bit.
Battle Prep:
Used a reraise gorget just incase, and brought Yag drinks. Cleared all orcs surrounding the fight area and put up stoneskin, blink, protect II, shell, and aquavail. Popped a meat kabob, put on dark staff and rested to full mp.
Summary of the fight:
So I triggered the orcs by selecting the hide flap and going inside. Once the PLD and MNK orcs popped out I targeted the PLD and hit him once then let my Wyvern (Rover) to hit him once. I then target the MNK orc and hit him once, then let Rover hit him twice to gain more hate. I switched back to the PLD orc and started beating on him while the MNK tried beating on Rover. Eventually the PLD popped his 2 hour so I switched to the MNK and beat up on him until it wore off. After the two hour dropped I switched back to the PLD and proceeded to kill him. *Yes the MNK was on me now but missing a lot and not hitting for much* The PLD dropped fairly quick and Rover and I started working on the MNK. As soon as the MNK 2 houred I Super Jumped and let Rover take the hundred fists. It was hilarious how often he missed and the fact that Rover survived cracked me up. Anyway, after the 2 hour broke went back to beating on him and he dropped shortly after. I had to have healing breath III cast on myself maybe twice the whole fight. Overall not a horrible fight, probably smart to have your call wyvern back up before trying.
If for some reason you just don't want to mess with the fight there may be another way to do it *not tested*. You need to make sure the orc spawns are ALL cleared in order for this to work. Basically you'll spawn both orcs, hit one, let your wyvern hit it twice, switch targets hit the other and let your wyvern hit it twice. As soon as your wyvern is taking hits from both orcs you can disengage and run around to find the the other flap. Assuming that it respawned. Again, not tested, but after reading some of the other posts about running around while being hit by them it definately seems doable.
Hope this helps someone... maybe..

I was wondering if nyone can help???
I reached Lv 50 with Glee and quickly ran over to Oggbi and received the quest. I found Fei-Yin with some easy and even had time to stop and hunt Nue (1/1). Anyway after about an hour I managed to find the arena (k-8) (I have no map) and selected the BS, the only choices it gave me to enter was rank 5 Mission or leave!!!!! ARGHHH
Do I have to complete rank 5 1st or am I being stupid?!?!?!!
Cheers in advance

As far as I've read you have to trigger 5-1. I just did this quest yesterday and I walked in there on my dragoon, then started to walk out and got the CS, so I didn't end up needing to do anything with the circle itself.

I just did this quest using my 61 pld, it wasn't so bad. Nothing in davoi aggroed me. I easily cleared out the area around the flap alone and then put up reraise. I then spawned the NMs fought them a little for fun and then ran over to the next flap. I didn't feel like dying so I decided to try my luck and kept trying to examine the tent and select "yes" as fast as possible as to not get interrupted. After a few tries I finally got it in between the 2 NMs' attacks and got the item with them still beating on me. I then ran out and zoned to jugner. I got out safely with about 300 hp left. I just thought I'd post this to say it is possible to do this without dying, you just have to be fast and pay attention to their attack timings (and of course get lucky). Good luck to everyone else!

It worked for me. I could have just been lucky, and it helped being paladin because they couldn't kill me very fast.

I thought I should point out that the key item cs only activates for one person each time, in case you decide to kill the NMs as a group of people who need it. I was helping someone else get his, figured I'd get mine as well, but he got the cs and I didn't--despite clicking on numerous tent flaps after the kills and getting "you find nothing inside" each time.

2. Warped and went to davoi

Just did this as 65 Rdm, actually i did everypart of this as a 65 rdm except start the quest.
Once in davoi, i found the flap, buffed up completly, Protect Blink SS Phalanx Haste to speed up warp, blah blah blah then hit it, and when teh 2 dudes spawned they started beating on me. I waited for the icon so i could select it and warp out,but it never came, so i figured it moved and i ran around a bit when i realised i wasnt getting hit anymore. Now im not stupid, so i KNOW that i did not lose the orc NMs in a 20 foot area, so i get out of 1st person view and im d/cing... so i cry and reload game ( if i die, i delvl to 64 and i sold all me rdm stuff for lvling, but still use it for things like this ) i load up, see my hp at 0 for about 10 seconds, then it jumps up to 950 and im all happy again, i immediatly put up invisible and look around ( some orcs were EP+-). The 2 NMs ARE STILL THERE. I check for the flap there but the flap moved to the complete opposite side of that area, i hit it and got the key item. they did not come after me, and are both probably still wandering around over there. So if worse comes to worse, D/C.... even though mine was an accident

Just did this as my WHM62. Had BLM as my sub. Buffed up with aquaveil also and hit the flap. Blink and stoneskin let me hit the flap again while the two were whacking away at me. Got the scroll and attempted to warp. Stoneskin failed as warp was at 70%. Ran for my life, but found that they couldnt keep up for some reason. Made it out safely with 730 hp to spare. Had about 25 links I'm sure at the end. Davoi must be tough for them to stick with you as I really didnt get hit until I attempted to warp out again, thinkin the NMs were far behind. Would have been easier to do subing THF for flee.
First solo AF for me, quite proud of the accomplishment.

Does anyone know whether SE's latest changes designed to eliminate mpk affects your ability to die, reraise, and grab the item undetected, as described by so many here?
Is it possible that now when you spawn the NMs, let them kill you, they will just disappear and re-spawn if you reraise and try again to examine the flap?!
Thoughts?

Soloed this today 51 MNK/NIN. Tonkoed up to the tent flap, dropped invis, tried to check the flap, DID get aggroed by the orcs there (just one -.-) and got event skipped, so use caution inspecting the flap for the first time. Killed it, reraised up, popped it, got raped, Lool got NM aggroed, trained away everything (Thanks Lool! ^^), popped reraise, examined flap, acquired San'dorian Scroll of Martial Arts, scroll of warped out. Good luck to all soloing this. Yeay! Temple Gaiters are mine :D
NM's are not affected by the mpk fix, they will not despawn if you die unless they were orignally set to do that.

{hmmm} I tried it yesterday on Bismarck, and it didn't worked. I trained few Gobs to a safe place, and I died. Every mob disappeared, besides the 2 NMs. They were walking back to their tents and aggroed a RDM/NIN. I reraised and got my keyitem during the RDM was fighting. /sigh I almost MPKed him... sorry 'bout this
I soloed it tonight with the pop, flee, die, reraise, go back and hit other flap tactic. It still works.

yep, i'll double confirm on khanmots. i did the exact thing and it worked like a charm. only thing is I didn't see NMs despawn, they just ran to the tent and chilled. So i guess if it's the same tent for you, you're boned.
P.S. I dunno how long, if ever NMs will despawn. I'd like to apologize to anyone they ruthlessly kill.

Post on this AF is not really clear and created confusions in me when I tried to do it. So here's my detailed strategy. I will focus on the Davoi part on this guide only, the Fei Yin part was sort
of common sense easy.
1)Absolutely Soloable under the condition that you either Kill them all, OR you Die once.
2)You HAVE to die and reraise yourself at the same zone (i.e. You should NOT warp back to homepoint after you get killed, cus it would be considered a zone so when you come back the second time to examine the "Hide Flap" the 2 NM will pop again like the first time.)
3)Asides from the Zone thing i cannot confirm whether if the NM will disappear after some time or after you die, but the only thing that matters is you stay in the same zone after they popped, this makes the second Flap pop a valid one.
Strategy 1: You solo and die for it
Try your very best to find a place to die that is least populated or walked about by Orcs. When reraise kicks in, make sure NONE are facing you, before clicking "Yes",unless they are 1000 miles away (beware of bowshooters...they look far?.
Strategy 2: None solo.
Either find a good kiter or simply Party Fight them all. If you go for kiter, know this, the "Hide Flap" DOES change tent after first click, and it is just as risky as solo cus then you alone have to run about orcs looking for the 2nd pop with chances of Invisible wearing off anytime and you have to deactivate it for the Examine.
Few Things to be aware:
# If you get aggro while examining the Hide Flap, any mob hit will cause your examine to be cancelled with "The Event was skipped." I had to Perfect Dodge to properly examine it the first time.
# When you examine, this is what happens: [Enter the Tent?] ---> [(1)YES (2)NO], if yes the screen blinks black once and you get the NM pop, second examine gives you the Book. If you get hit ANY time before the screen blinks, your event is skipped.
# The Orc Tent region is very big and they are very cramped, so if your Invisible is wearing...don't take chances unless you have to. My heart nearly popped out cus I had to reapply powder between two orc with thier backs facing me, I was merely lucky.
Conclusion:
If you want to solo, be aware that you MAY die 1-3 times trying if your are not careful or inexperienced, so hopefully this guide makes you all more prepared.

A Good Party's Formation is based on the Balance of two very major principles of Defence & Offence -, and the ability to sustain a proper consumption of HP and MP during each fight - Play hard and play smart; "Noobs" deserve patience, and respect like all others, only cocky/rude/inconsiderate players don't.
Invisible can just be recasted, powders can just be used over top of each other without aggro. This doesn't work with any "sneak" methods. But as long as you're the one "casting" invisible it cancels then overwrites instantly.
I've stood facing many things that aggro sight recasted invisible and not one of them even blinked. Hope that helps some

i just solo'd this quest as 75nin/sam. went to feiyin then davoi. when i got to F-7 there were 3 orcs roaming around so i had to clear them then check the hide flap, the 2nm pop (PLD+MNK)
i decided to kill the mnk first since it hits faster, but i think killing the PLD first might be easier cuz the PLD will heal the other NM if it's low on HP.
the fight lasted about 10mins cuz the MNK had so much HP. afterward i went to check the tent but no hide flap @.@. i was worried that it might have taken me too long to kill the NMs that the flap despawn but i ran around tabbing and found it at the nearby tent...hoooray!!
MNK AF2 completed...now AF3...i wonder if i could actually solo this one;

I am confirming that the orcs do not need to be killed.
Someone can kite them around/away while you look for the other tent flap. This is the way I did it.

I did this a few months back, but finally decided to post about my solo experience on this. :3
As a RDM66/BLM33 wearing only Artifact, a Jelly Ring and wielding a Hornetneedle I managed to take these two NMs down after about an hour of fighting.
The PLD is sleepable, but it's not really worth the effort.
Standard RDM melee buffs of Haste, Stoneskin, Phalanx, Shock Spikes, Refresh and Protect were used before popping them. Use your En-spell based on the day.
Started off by pulling them into a little corner, away from most of the Orcs in the area. Engaged the Monk Orc, Bilopdop, and kept both Orcs enfeebled the entire fight. Use your choice of enfeebs, they don't really matter too much. Dispelled and Silenced the Paladin and kept him that way the entire fight. The less MP he uses on himself, the more you get to Aspir and Energy Drain from him. He will eventually run out.
The Monk took around 30 minutes to melee to death, and I Converted twice.
All through the fight you'll be building up a little army of Orcs behind you that you'll need to keep Sleepga'd, remember to keep them all asleep.
The Paladin started going down a little quicker than the Monk, but it was a good idea to have killed the Monk first. If it hadn't been for Energy Draining and Aspiring the PLD all through the fight with the MNK, I'd have run out of MP pretty quickly.
Around 30% HP (20, 25 minutes of fighting?) the Paladin Orc ran out of MP. Scary when you've been relying on his MP to survive the entire time.
Just had to start being careful how I used my MP, and eventually the PLD went down too. Still need to keep an eye on those extra Orcs, as it can be dangerous for them to wake up while you're finishing the PLD, especially if the PLD is out of MP for you to Aspir/Energy Drain.
Eventually all I was left with was an angry army of Sleeping Orcs. Got my Book, got the hell out of there.
My use of TP was restricted to Energy Drain only. Keep your buffs up, keep them Paralyzed, Slowed, the Monk Bio II'd and whatever other debuffs, you'll be fine.
It was really a pretty easy fight, and I got to laugh at my 75WAR friend who almost lost duoing it with a BRD.
edit: A note about Hundred Fists, and the Monk Orc in general.. keep Bio II on him and Phalanx on yourself, and his attacks shouldn't do more than 0~5 damage per fist. That's not going to knock your Stoneskin for a good long while. A lot longer than his Hundred Fists lasts. :P

Almost horrifying. This place is flooded with Gilsellers. Me[Monk 50 at the time] a 59 MNK a 60 DRK and a 60ish RDM went to do this...All was going....supposedly well until we found out how bad links were. Even after clearing the earea the place respawned with tons of orcs. Bowshooters shot arrows and gladiators slashed. It was awful...we all died. It was funny after to see a Gilseller attempt to fight Bilopdop Solo He was getting raped before another gilseller escaped him. Too bad. It took a while but I went again with a pack of about 12 people all 50+ and a 75 Whm. Needless to say we finally kicked there asses. Key to the fight is taking out Bilopdop first because Hundred Fists can be deadly....Especially against a 60 DRK >.>

Solo'd this easily as a PLD/RDM. Phalanx + Stoneskin ftw. Even during Hundred Fists he didn't break my stoneskin.

just saying that when u go in to Feiyin that u gotta go into the BCNM area and leave that area (if u do a BCNM or not it dosen't matter)then u get the CS

Hello all fellow monks, this is what I did to get the book.
First did the Fei Yin part and got cutscene and left. Then went to davoi and found the hide flap. Had 69Rdm and me 56Mnk. I spawned NM's we fought the NM's, died and waited till NM's disappeared. Fearing that I would have to fight the NM's again, got some more friends to come along. Once we got ready, this is wht happened, I clicked on same hide flap and automatically got Martial Arts book.
Seems like you can die right in front of them until they disappear and claim your prize. Well thats wht happened to me, hope this helps for all you upcoming monks.

Okay, so the Fei'Yin sector was no problem... Blah blah blah got the map blah blah cutscene yay warp...
Davoi is where it really got fun. So on my first attempt I walk to F-7 and passed the local gil sellers hunting Poisonhand. I continue on to the Hide Flap and needless to say (being the only person) got destroyed by the two NM's. So I re-thought my strategy and came back, after purchasing a scroll of instant re-raise. I pass the gil sellers again, when I get a /tell asking to {team up?} with the gil sellers. I say what the hell and i do it... But i was meticulously thinking of a plan also...
So I'm in the Gil sellers party when i go to examine the Hide Flap, again the NMs spawn and i Flee over to the gil seller and put the mobs on him after i die, of course my re raise scroll kicks in and i wait for the NMs and the gil seller to clear out. I got back up to my feet and went over to the next Hide Flap and got the book. I warped out before the NM's even had a chance to come back.

I just finished getting the beat cesti, and I see the AF2 is also activated by Oggbli but when I spoke to him after completing my AF1 he didn't give me this quest. Is there a time limit you need to wait, or some prerequisate that i'm missing in order to recieve this quest?

thought i'd share my solo story on these. just finished it about 30 min. ago. started off by getting the CS in the arena while doing mission 5-1 the other night (i get alot of /tells for it so i thought what the hell). went to davoi as a 31thf/15war for flee and perfect dodge purposes. used sneak/invis items to get to tent, oh yeah and reraise scroll was used too. once at the tent i cancel invis, check the tent, spawn the 2NM ... used perfect dodge & flee macro i had set up, found the other hide flap and examined. once i got the key item i just died and went to home point in jueno then took airship to bastok to finish quest. in retrospect i didn't need to use reraise scroll, but used it for a just in case type scenario. all of this worked on the first try and i had zero problems with it. just take your time, prepare, be careful, and it's a breeze to solo. now i just need 2 more lvls till i can use them ^^

I just soloed this, kind of >.>
I went to davoi, (monk 52) went to F-7 there was a DRG there, level 65+ (anoyn) and a 49 WHM. i asked the DRG if he would help me clear the area because they would aggro me upon reraise. I offered to pay him, he refused gil, and helped me clear area. (THANKS ALOT BARAKA) so then, the whm invis herself, drg moved back, i spawned orcs, ran away a bit, but one of them aggroed the whm ; ;
almost killed her, i chi blast one, attack the other, switch targeted another, while the drg is rnning around grabbing the other 10 or so that linked O_O
whm warps out, drg zones safely, i reraise, get tent flap, g behind a tent away from spawn point in a corner, and rest, the bastards came right back to me ( real fast) and killed me. >.<
oh well, exp = easy to get, soloing af legs = priceless.
so yea, dunno for sure, but i think once u get 2nd tent flap, you should {Rn Away} hopeflly u have a warp scroll or blm subbed.
i woldnt recommend coming as a lower job because of aggro risk when reraise takes effect, as i said, exp is easy to get back, think about it. XD

how does the accompany thing work? because i know in WoW when they say accompany, you actually have to accompany the NPC to their destination, protecting them the whole way. is it like that in this game, or is it more like "we go our seperate ways and we'll meet there" sort of thing?
im asking way in advance, ive got 10 levels before i can even get this quest

63 rdm/31 blm solod both nm orcs and half of davoi for a friend of mine last night, was an awesome fight, 2 converts but no 2hrs. Original plan was just for me to distract them, but then everything linked and it got crazy so i engaged and went to work. hundred fists where no match for phalanx and stoneskin, even when stoneskin dropped it was doing between 0-7(17 once on a critical hit) my friend(51 mnk/17 blm) got his boots and i fought the whole crowd for about a half an hour, thats right, it took a half hour to kill these damn things. I used the pld orc as an mp bank for aspir for a while, but he eventually died to the cyclones that i kept throwing at 100 tp for about 240 damage to everything. overall, it was an awesome fight and damn that mnk has a ton of hp.

Just wanted to add one little detail to the solo (death and rebirth) technique for the AF Boots:
When I did this just recently, the nms went and parked themselves back-to-back in front of the Hide Flap after they had their way with me in my happy death place, and the Paladin kept turning to cast Protect on his comrade. After I Reraised, with Sneak and Invis I was able to wedge myself between em and, watching the timing of the pld's turn-and-cast, drop invis and hit the Flap for the second time. Unfortunately the pld got me before I could get invis up again. I coached a fellow monk on how to do this and he had the same experience. Hope this helps!

To repeat AF quests u need to first complete all of your AF. There is an NPC in lower jeuno in one of the shops, the jewelry shop upstairs i believe, that asks if you if you want to erase your memory and repeat quests, he will give you the option to repeat your af for a small payment...10k gil when i asked him. NOTE: You must have completed all of your AF, including coffers, in order to do this.
EDIT: Under the wrong post somehow...but still in the same thread so...meh

Can anyone confirm that this quest is repeatable? I talk to Oggbi and he doesn't say anything about it. How do you repeat it?

For Davoi portion:
1. 25+ Thief Sneak/Invis to First Flap
2. Enter Tent
3. Before NM's spawn "Perfect Dodge"
4. Find the other Flap
5. Use "Flee" and zone
Would this work? (Non-Dying Way)

Anyone tried this since the update? I tried it yesterday 3 times and the second flap in Davoi never showed... did SE change it or something and not tell anyone?
It says the quest is repeatable, but I talk to Oggbi after doing the quest and he doesn't say anything about the quest.
How do I repeat the quest? What do I have to do?
I need to get revenge on those Orcs!

I Went to Beaucadine Glacier after starting the quest. I shouted for someone to help show me the way to FeiYin. A group of people were on there way there to do Mission 5-1, i thought cool i can kill 2 birds with 1 stone since i had activated that Mission already as well. So we go to the arena and kill the NM there. I went in and out of the Arena several times and got no cut scene. I don't understand why that screwed up getting my cut scene, but i was highly pissed.

Well, I soloed my boots today. Yippie. Here is how to do it. Sure you could read the other posts on how, but hey, mine is at the top of the list ^^ (at least right now), and I'm a funny guy.
STEP 1- Prepare your mind. Get ready to die. Probably a lot if your luck is anything like mine. I used a subjob (war 28) so that I would not lose experience points on my cherished monk. Oh yeah, and buy a reraise scroll from the gate guards with conquest points.
STEP 2- Get the quest from Oggbi in the Steeming Sheep Restaurant in Port Bastok. Yeah you remember him, the lovable alcoholic galka who sent you on the practical joke/wild goose chase for your useless AF weapon. (you do have your AF weapon right? good, I thought so, or that would be your step 1)
STEP 3- Fei Yin. I strongly suggest having the map of beaucedine glacier (give derfland hummus to the gardener in the castle in San doria) or, a best case scenario that involves foresight that I do not posess, trigger this quest before you do rank 5-1, it will take you to the desired area. For those like me who didn't think of that, you will need silent oil (i dont know if that is really the name but the stuff that casts sneek) and prism powder. There are maps on Allakhazam and links to maps of Fei Yin so I wont give exact directions here, suffice to say that you need to get to the burning circle where you fight the archlich for 5-1. Zone in, (should be K-8 or so on the map) then zone out of this area to get the cutscene involving another one of alky the galka's students. You're done here, time to use an instant warp scroll, your feet, or whatever mode of transportation you chose to get out of this hell hole.
STEP 4- Davoi. Hopefully you have some silent oil and prism powders left over, you will need them. If not, buy more. I also purchased some deodorizer, this may have been overkill but as my story goes, you will understand my paranoia. Also, a map of Davoi couldn't hurt, this can be bought from an Elvaan in San Doria next to the fountain in Northern San Doria I believe. Go to Davoi, and kiss your ass goodbye, here is where it gets ugly.
STEP 5- Scout. As I said before, I used a lower level job (guinea pig) to do this. I shudder to think the ammount of exp I would have lost had I used my mnk. Upon entering davoi I used prism powder for invis, and headed to the big tent, orc hippie commune area (F-7 on the map), follow the smell of bong water and pachulli oil (I swear this place looks like orc woodstock....without the peace and music of course). Make sure you stay invisible, the orcs kill on sight. Tab around until you find the tent door named "hide flap". This will be your objective. It changes every time it is activated so you will have to look for it but it's in that area.
STEP 6- Orc panty raid. Now that you know where the "hide flap" is, you need to find a relatively safe escape route and a good place to lie down (read: shop around for your grave). You will need to find a place where there are NO MONSTERS to die. It should be close enough to the tent area that you can make it before being slaughtered but far enough that you can make it back to the hippie commune before the orcs do. This is where you will be reraising yourself after all hell breaks loose so it needs to be un inhabited or something will just pimp slap you back into the ground. Found a good place to take a dirt nap? good. Use your reraise scroll now that you are in your safe place, invis will drop so invis again. Go over to the "hide flap" (I like to say that for some reason) and examine it, making sure that there are no bad guys around who will beat you silly because you have to drop invis to do it. It will ask you if you want to enter the tent. Of course you do! Go in there, the screen goes black, I don't know what the problem is, maybe you didn't wipe your feet, you kick the orcs dog, I don't know, but they are pissed when you go in, this leads us to...
STEP 7- Run like hell. Run to your pre determined safe and happy death area, really really fast. Two hippie orcs, one Pld and one Mnk are mad that you busted in on the tent they were trying to hot-box or something and want to get violent. Like someone else here said, start running before the screen comes back up, just go! When you get to your safe spot, turn around (so you can see when they start to take off) and think happy thoughts as you are ruthlessly beaten and sodomized by the entire orc clan prison movie style.
STEP 8- I am vedy vedy sneaky sir... When the angry mob of orcs get far enough away from you that they won't turn and beat you into submission again, allow yourself to be reraised. Use your sneak first then invisible items (the mnk and pld orcs can hear you, I found that out the hard way)I even used deodorize just to be safe, may not be nessesary, and run back to the tent commune, past your new orc buddies. You will need to find a different tent this time that has a "hide flap" (he he) for you to examine, for some reason that I don't understand, it isn't the one from before, trust me. Drop invis, making sure it is safe, and examine/enter the tent to get your "San Dorian Martial Arts Scroll" or some such item. Get out of Davoi using whatever method you most enjoy.
STEP 9- Miller Time. Go back to Bastok and talk to Alky, I mean Oggbi in the bar. He will give you some drunken rambling about the way things were and then give you your Temple Gaiters. Make sure to let him know how crappy the assignment was. Crack open a beer and celebrate, hug a taru, and smile at yourself, you are officially a badass.
USEFUL TIPS- Do yourself a favor and do this durring the day, I got smoked like a fine cigar because my "happy place" to die was where some bats spawned while I was waiting for the orc army to disperse. As soon as I raised myself a bat donkey punched me and I started cussing. I never even saw them. The lizards agro, I didn't know this, they killed me once like the bats did, This was only my seccond time going to Davoi so I was pretty ignorant of this zone. The Pld and Mnk orcs can hear you unlike the others in the area, yep they jacked me up another time when I tried to run past them after reraising, so make sure you have sneak items activated. Another thing I have in common with one person who posted here is that I too made an ass of myself and canceled my reraise insted of invisible once because I was nervous. Don't do this, it sucks. Take your time and make sure everything is right before you do it, don't be a spaz like me and hopefully you won't have to die four times before finishing like I did. Good Luck my fellow monks. Thank you for reading my post, it got long before I realized it, I apologize. Keep up the great work in becoming the best monk you can be, the most noble (and coolest) career in Vanadiel.^^
*edit: I had two step 7, doh!*

After suffering through the trip alone to Fei'Yin, I finally decided to read up some and figure out what I should do! Before I got to this step by step i tried using Thf and 2 houring to find the 2nd flap...works for some but I spent my time dodgeing running in circles panicing because I didnt realize it pops the "hide flap" somewhere else -_-;;
Anyways, wanted to say thanks for the walkthrough, i'm about to try again on WHM with reraise! [All right!] [death] I'd have to say after getting rather discouraged reading this got a few laughs out of me, thanks ^_^
EDIT: Just succeeded. Used whm with reraise and the "happy death spot" although turned out the flap was the same tent again...and they both ran back there.......well a high lvl rdm happend to run buy and aggro them! I grabbed the tent flap and was murdured by the train, yay! but i got it ^_^

i went the wrong way and died where the shadows spawn at (F-7) im so stupid i shoulda payed attention ; ; i DELVLED
Dyens
Ok so i read Kitsumephoenix's idea and thought thats fairly insane, but hey sounded like fun so....
Stacked up on the necessaries 2 stacks of prism powder and 2 stacks of silent along with both instant warp and reraise. Fei'Yin at 50 was kinda fun lots of nice sights etc etc, Davoi was really fun though,
First attempt took War 29 and a Pld lvl 51 as guardian. Arrived near the camp and invised to take a look around. The details are irrelavent but essentially the i died in a safe spot the pld got aggro checking out the if it was safe to raise and died (i felt very bad he felt worse all in not good).
Decided i needed to get to a safer point and the only way to do this was mnk 50 with dodge, defender, evasion gear and 1111hp. Went back found a new "happy place" in the small passage at the top of the camp where wasps were too weak and orcs ep. Had to fight a couple of ep then learned that wasps aggro to healing useful knowledge but annoying.
Anyway with mnk i could get to the very safe happy place stick counterstance on (i can't just lay down for orcs) and eventually got destroyed. Reraised myself then invis then ran back to the safe part of davoi to shed weakness. Fully healed up went back to the other tent get the item and instant warp to safety and shiny boots. I would have to say it was worth it for 700exp.

Yes! I did it! Thanks to your great post I was able to get up the courage to give it a try.
I went as my WAR30 (hey, I didn't know stuff in Jugner still aggroed at 30... why is that tiger attacking me!). My XP loss was nothing compared to going as my MNK58.
So the first time I get there, it was JUST before 04:00. I had used some prism powder and passed a bat just as I thought, "Hmm, bats aggro by sound" and WHAM! It attacked. This got the attention of all the nearby orcs. I used a warp scroll and got out with 26HP left.
For my second act, I got all the way to the Hide Flap and discovered just how easy it is to deactivate a scroll of reraise. Tip: try not having the Hide Flap tergetted when you do it. I think this is what messed me up somehow. So anyway, I use another warp scroll and try again.
For my third try, everything went smoothly. I'd even tried to warn a couple of farmers with <Please forgive me.> <Notorious Monster> <train> but they didn't get it. At least they weren't attacked. Unless they were gil sellers in which case I'd wished they were attacked. To my suprize, too, only the NMs chased me. All the others left me alone.
I must admit that it was rather exciting. My heart was racing and my hands were shaking a bit afterwards. Freaky, eh?
So here I am now with my shiny new Temple Gaiters. Next stop: Hose and Crown!
Take it easy and happy hunting!

Take it easy and happy hunting!
Take it easy!

THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE BEFORE YOU DO THIS:
1. Complete - Windurst quest "A Smudge on One's Record" for the map of Fei'Yin.
2. Obtain a map of Davoi, and procure some Prism Powders or get a mage friend to come with.
3. Teleport-Vahzl gate crystal comes in mucho handy. This is a very fun thing to solo, I highly recommend getting this since you'll be going up to the frozen north a LOT from this point on.
Starting the Quest
NPC is Oggbi @(E-6) of Port Bastok. You have to be level 50 or higher to active this quest, yadayada, cutscene, blahblah, he sends you to Fei'Yin. This dungeon area is located at the very north of Beaucidene Glacier. Having a map of that area is also very nice, it is a Sandy quest ^^
Fei'Yin
Upon entering Fei'Yin there will be a cutscene. Everyone except the golems aggro to SOUND, the golems are SIGHT, pots, golems, and weapons aggro MAGIC so be very careful.
Accquaint yourself with Qu'Bia Arena if you have not already done Rank 5-1 mission here. Yet another fun thing for MNK. The zone to Qu'Bia Arena is located @K-8 of the FIRST FLOOR of Fei'Yin.
You will enter @F-11, from there go North, then East following the curve of a narrow tunnel until you find a room @G-10 that is fairly large. Take the north-east corridor @G-9 until you reach a crossroad @H-9. Head south until you come to a two way split @H-10, then head east as the other way is a dead end.
@J-10 you will find a series of circular rooms all holding Shadows. The northern most of these is located @J-9, then you take a narrow corridor to K-8 and continue halfway down the hallway.
All you have to do is zone into the area, then zone out again, and a cutscene will play. After it's done, you're free to move on. I recommend you find a WHM friend so you can Teleport-Holla and head to Davoi.
Davoi - Notorious Monster Battle
Our team for this battle was as such: 57 RDM/BLM, 57 WHM/BLM, 57 MNK/THF, 58 PLD/WAR. Yes, we waited a while for this, but there are better feet for MNK, eh? ^^
Those familiar with the PLD quest know how to get to the river @J-10. We took that down the same path as the PLD quest -- you will need Invisible for the Orcish Farkillers and other 60-70+ Orcs up there. By this point in the game, pugils should not aggro any longer, so all you need is Invisible.
We went back to land @D-8, then crossed the bridge @F-8. Around that time, things began to con Easy Prey, low defense, so Invisible was necessary. From there, it was a short distance to F-7, where you will find the tents.
Lucky for us, the tent flap was found at the far end of the camp and there was a high level THF farming solo. We cleared out any aggro, and discovered that at level 57 Davoi Wasps still aggro to /healing mages. Our MNK spawned the two NMs, and we tried sleeping the PLD with Divine Seal + Sleep II. No luck ;;
The MNK NM, Bilodop, is very tough and hit our PLD hard and fast. He used Hundred Fists at around 40-50% life. Our PLD used Invincible, but our MNK also used Hundred Fists and drew hate. It was an intense battle ^^
The PLD NM on the other hand, is a little sissy and we beat him up. The fight lasted long enough for a respawning orc to aggro our RDM while she was /healing, but we were lucky again when the THF picked it off her ^^
There were really no close calls, and my MP pool was a little drained, but it's not surprising considering that we couldn't sleep the other NM.
I suggest HPing in Bastok, or getting a Teleport-Dem from a WHM friend ^^ Good luck to all of you!

I'm looking at how long these posts are, thinking who the hell wants to read all that, so I'm going to sum this up simply. Fe'yin part is easy, as long you have sneak/invis. Just go to fighting arena, with sneak/invis, (preferably power/oil considering the aggro on spell casting) and go to fighting arena w/ instant watp scroll. -Davoi- I found @51, nothing aggroed me until I reached the tent area..sneak/invis prevented it anyway. Examined tent flap, and found the orcs to be surprisingly weak, using DEF equip rather than stat+ equip. Examined a tent flap near me, ran to zone like the little girl I am... got a train of 18 orcs(yes, I counted!)with 56% HP left at zone. All this done in 1 1/2 hours...EASY!

Ok I did this yesterday SOLO (or almost).
Got to Fey'in, didn't have map but a very nice JP player helped me get to fighting arena (a.k.a. burning circle). It's on the first floor. Just need sneak to get there. You have to enter zone then leave it to get cutscene like some of the others before stated.
Instant warped out of Fey'in. Got a scroll of reraise and choco then headed to Davoi. When I got to Davoi, I went to pos F-7 via the creek. I only saw one mob early on that was easy prey at my lvl, the rest were weak. There is a bridge that you cross under at about half way, once I got to there I used a prism because when you take the left fork further down the mobs turn to IT and will aggro from the cliffs with arrows (found that out the hard way). Once I got to the open area at F-7 I ran around invisible and searched for the "hide flap". It's in a different spot everytime it's activated by someone. When I found it I went back out to a safe place, activated my reraise scroll and reset my invisible. I went back to the spot and waited for the mobs to clear out enough so I could have time to search the hide flap and not get aggro. You have to be visible to activate the flap. Once the flap is selected and activated, RUN LIKE HELL! The screen will black out for a sec then start running like mad. Don't wait around for the NM's to appear because they will beat the sh*t out of you if you are alone. Since I'm lvl 51 monk/war I have a little over 1k hp so I can take a few hits so what I did was aggro all the mobs around the hide flap so they would chase me too. Once I had the whole gang on me I ran out of area and kept running for a while til I was pretty far out. Then I stopped and let them kill me, waited for them to move out of sight range and then I raised myself. I prismed myself, ran back past them, ran back to the hide flap, got the martial arts books (key item), went back invisible and left. Piece of cake!!! ^^
I hope this was helpful for you guys that want to go solo to get your AF boots.
Thanks!
