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:

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
rate how good this info is plz

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?
you also need to zone if your 50+ >,>
You must be level 50 or above to begin the Artifact Armor quests.
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

i just took this with a lvl 70pld and me 61whm we clearwed the spawns first as the pld went at the orc pld lol we got 2 link while we had the nm so thats 4mobs nice....he smokwed the pld mob wasnt too hard i just hasted cured V eveynow and then the pld mob down 3 to go so we smoke the links easy and then again im just cure V when the pld gets low hp 3 down just the monk nm to go he had crazy hp he 2hours my pld friend gets on like 390hp after the 2hour so i divine seal cure V pld is good we end up killing the mnk mob it as been about 45min-1hour now i get my scroll thingie we both warp out if you are thinking about doing this please let me save you an hour bring more than just the tank lol damage would have been nice anyway thats my story. good luck when doing this ~^
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!

Your way worked a treat (my warrior lost 700 exp but bah, who cares lol)
Went to fei yin wit my monk, managed to get to the cutscene without sneak or invis but a little skill.
went to davoi, invis up, found safe spot, reraise, spawned NM, died, reraised, got key item
used a scroll of instant warp 90% through casting, WHACK dead lol but I just HP'd
Quest complete yay!!
thanks

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.

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?
12 posts
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 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 *** 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 *** 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.^^

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 *** 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
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!

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!

I'm feeling crazy and I'm going for it. Tonight. Now. Solo.
I'll tell you all how it turns out. :P

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 **** 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!
