flagging the quest
# Nov 28 2009 at 7:26 AM Rating: Decent
ok i just went in to talk to vola to get my black belt quest flagged and i got a cut scene and it went..

"What you want me to tell you about the legendary black belt" are you awake if you think somebody like you can get their hands on a belt so rare, you must still be in dreamland. only the best of the best are good enough to obtain the black belt, and even then only the best among those are even allowed to wear one. people call those masters of the martial arts "bushin" dont tell me you've never heard of them. as mighty as mountains and as powerful as gods, there are but a handful of bushin left in vana'diel but their presence is as great as altana herself. ive never seen you fight, but i can tell just by looking into your eyes that you dont have what it takes to don a black belt. you'd probably wet your hakama if you even laid eyes on one. what? you think that im insulting you? oh well. theres nothing i can say to stop you from taking the truth as an insult."

i cant figure out what im doing wrong, any advice?

Thanks for the update in the quest, hope I can get my hands on the items. Just accidently got it started after finishing ZM 17.

I would like to comment 1 poster :

Agreed. This quest is very difficult but completing the Relic weapons is still harder right now ^^. Adamantoise and Behemoth can be killed by two groups of 75 fairly easilly.... Fafnir is harder then the others but is possible with a full alliance of 70-75... As for the lottery pops from them... well thats takes at least a full alliance of 70-75 probably with afew backup mages outside the groups. Hepe this helps anyone thinking of going after the belt.


I wish it was this simple on Remora and I guess on other servers too. The first flaw in your theorie is that you cant always claim the NM. Because on most days there will be 2 or 3 linkshells up there. And if you are so lucky to claim it while "accidently" having about 12 to 18 lvl 75 friends about in the right jobs the chance of a drop on the "normal" versions Adamantoise and Behemoth is plain right repulsive !! 0/11 Adamantoise .......

Seeing that they pop once a day you'd have to drag your friends to a place like that for weeks and weeks before you either get Aspi or KB. Not to mention they have a 21-24 pop window so within a few days they "slide" into your regions nighttime.

So basicly the only chance you have in obtaining these 3 items is joining a HNM ls that kills ground gods 24/7. Then get enough "points" to be able to lot on the drop. Ohh did I mention that HNM ls'es really dont need mnks ? Blunt dmg isn't very impressive on this trio so it would be wise to have at least 1 other very usefull job leveld to 75 like nin, blm, whm or brd.

Chi Blast ? Yeah done that , cool 1k on these mobs. Such a shame that any blm will do so much more dmg in the 3 min you need to charge up. The nq versions die even sooner then that with a good pt....

Oh did I forgot to mention the gilsellers who voke these mobs ( parsed ) in 0.11 seconds ......

Yeah the quest for unlocking relics is harder indeed but not by that much. Unless you have a good HNM ls ofcourse then its very obtainable.
There were rumours that several ls'es gave the items away cause all of there own members already had it. This means you either log in every 21 hour , wait there and hope you get a shot , or you travel up & down. Either way doing anything else ingame gets very unpracticle close to impossible. And yeah I did wait at all 3 points for weeks and weeks. Such a shame tho that when promised the item either didnt drop or a ls member needed it.

Your best shot for this is doing the KS99 fights. Because there also it is a rare drop and everybody going with you will not use seals for it ( everybody and his brother do the V-Claw 30 fight ) you better level bst and farm your *** off.

Sorry for being cynical , this is the second best ( http://ffxi.cannotlinkto/itemdb/7070 ) or best waiste piece by far but its insane hard to get.

man i cant believe it, finally have this in my inventory. ive been mnk75 since... well for about 2.5 years now. got my tongue first from a friends ks99. then the beard a week later from nidhogg. and finally last night, it had been 12 months and about 2 weeks since i got the beard, we claimed aspi first window and i won lot between me and 1 other. i have to say this is my proudest moment in all of my ffxi career. to all of you who are low lv mnks actually gettin this belt makes all the effort you put into it worthwhile. i was 0/27 on NQ adamantoise, @#%^er would never drop for me. i did 3 ks99's the hills are alive. won first, no egg, made 1.5m, lost second, did it on watersday, BAD IDEA, won third got a stylet but no egg. and i cant say thank you enough to Solstice :D

The other thing, Sabo. I was having that same problem for a long time. Make sure you're on your monk, talk to Vola *only*, then zone out.

It finally gave me the quest when I did it this way and I didn't do any more fame quests.

You need hero fame (supposedly in both Norg and Jeuno). That should be enough zinc, though.

One thing I notice is that your signature says MNK 70. If that IS updated, your problem is you can't get this quest activated until you're MNK 71. I guess it's so you can't use it on Maat (same goes for the Knuckles of Trials. You can get 250 skill at level 70 without merits, but you can't activate the quest or wear the knuckles until lvl 71) or something.

    Heh, Brown belt is 3.5m on Odin now. I guess when you are stuck in a HNM LS you will make enough cash to be able to buy a Brown Belt again anyways. You know Black Belt would be selling for 15 mil or more probably, lol.
    Trading the Brown Belt
    # Feb 13 2006 at 11:49 AM Rating: Decent
    Since you have to do the Brown Belt quest as a pre-requisite anyway, you're technically not losing any money at all since you got the Brown Belt you're trading in for free in the first place.
    It's basically trading in one piece of equipment for a much better one.

    For anyone who wants to reach a MNK's absolute best potential this belt is a must, at least in my opinion.

    The problem I foresee would be is not having a Brown Belt anymore for capped areas and fights, you would then HAVE to buy another if you wanted to accomplish this. I guess there are other substitutes, but not much beats it...

    Of course I'm not saying it's not worth it, totally go for the Black Belt when given the chance, the Haste stats are godly when combined with other MNK gear.
    costly
    # Oct 18 2005 at 12:24 PM Rating: Decent
    i read that you get this belt for free, but in all actuality it costs you the price of the brown belt since you are not able to sell it. and on kujata that means i am out 800k......oh well.

    You're not really out any gil because the only way you can even get this quest is by completing the Brown Belt quest which does give you a "free" brown belt.

    If you just bought your brown belt, you can't get this. Now, if you did the quest, sold your brown belt, then started getting black belt items and bought a new brown belt, you'd be fine.

    Brown Belt is at 2mil on Cerberus. LoL. I almost sold it but I just got Wyrm Beard. :-D

    All these mobs now gain in power the longer you fight them thanks to the update. Perhaps to make gilsellers who camp the mobs that much more troubled, and to make Black Belt that much more elusive?

    They made HNM's grow in strength due to the fact that people would just "hold" them HNM until backup came. Before a 75 nin or rdm could usually keep the mob occupied till an alliance came but now if you don't just fight it outright from the get-go, you'll get pwned.

    I sent a correction to the Website about few things missing in the quest... but seems they didnt update it ... so i loved to put it here...

    i'm MNK 71 @ Asura and i finished my Black belt quest ... and the update should be the following :


    1. Talk to Vola in the Tenshodo HQ in Lower Jeuno.

    2. Kill Fafnir or Nidhogg in the Dragon's Aery to get the RareEx Wyrm Beard. Nidhogg always drops the item.


    3. Go back to the Tenshodo entrance and trade the Wyrm Beard to the door.

    4. The Taru Taru NPC will request Secand item but it wont mention it's name so he will ask you to find it out

    5. Go T bastok Market to the old man "Degenhard" (H-9) and talk with him , he will say you need to bring Behemoth's Tongue

    6. Next, kill a Behemoth or King Behemoth in the Behemoth's Dominion to get the RareEx Behemoth's Tongue. King Behemoth always drops the item.

    7. Go back to the Tenshodo entrance and trade the Behemoth's Tongue to the
    door.

    8. The Taru Taru NPC will request third item but it wont mention it's name so he will ask you to find it out

    9. Go To Maat @ Rul'Garden and talk with him , he will tell you the item name is : Adamantoise Egg


    10. Now, kill an Adamantoise or Aspidochelone in the Valley of Sorrows to get the RareEx Adamantoise Egg. Aspidochelone always drops the item.

    11. Once again go back to the Tenshodo entrance and trade the Adamantoise Egg to the door.

    12. Finally, trade a Brown Belt to the entrance to receive your reward. You must have completed the Purple Belt and Brown Belt quests to receive this quest.

    # Jan 07 2005 at 1:02 AM Rating: Decent
    Definately not a fun quest...only 2/3 on items >.< The only thing I can say is patience and alot of willing friends to go with. The only good thing about this quest, if there is any, is that if your going with ppl whove fought these HNM's before, then your in good hands. Other than that, if your a first or have a substantial number of ppl new to the HNM, you definately want to have a reserve party (*cough* like in case of the the pally runs out of fear *cough*). But its indeed rates up there as one of the hardests quests there, just not the hardest (so there is a bright side to it after all lol)!
    all i can say is..
