Tuning In  

In regards to the file, I wanted to summarize everything I had learned.

There is no indication in previous posts that the file drops from anything other than Fomor warriors or samurai. However, I was surprised, quite pleasantly so, when I read the words "You find an extra-fine file on the Fomor Monk."

The Fomors will spawn starting at 20:00 until 4:00.

My strategy was to run between the campfire at (G-6) and the tower at (H-8). I estimate three rounds at each camp per night if you're really tearing them up, but with very rare drops.

Hope that helps.

I wanted to open Fenrirs quest and instead got this wtf? I dont want to do these quests before Fenrir this sucks T_T

I was shocked last night when the very first Formor Warrior I fought dropped this Filer. I knew that is was a really really rare drop and that just made me very excited to see that I got something that is really hard to get to drop.

ok got it on 5th kill off of formor warrior in lufaise meadows at watchtower at H-8. you get about 3 pops a night. unless you kill faster i think but they only spawn at night and its usually the bst, brd and war formors and and they spawn first when nightfalls almost exactly 20:00

war only drop it?

Extra-fine File is also known as Extra-rare File.
I'm about 0/110 right now -_-

1/120 or so. Dropped from Fomor Warrior.
Got the Fine Tuner title after getting the Whisper quest right after.

I took a long time for me to get the extra-fine file, but I finally got mine from the warrior in the WAR/BST/SMN trio further out from the safehold. Everyone that I've talked to that made note of which fomor dropped it also said that it was the Warrior which dropped the file.

So I have to do first the Goblin ones or I can start with Lufaise one? I killed 50345983645 fomors :S

Also drops off of Goblin Hammerman, just went down there a little bit ago and snagged one up.

an extra-fine file : Fomor mobs in Lufise Meadows

After like 1 RL day of finishing this quest you get a new quest called Tuning Out by talking to Leepe again. This time you must go to kazham & talk to the cheiftainess. Then Talk to Mihgo also in Kahzam. She sends you to "witness" a fight in Yuhtunga Jungle. Head to the spot on the map marker Gemini Falls. You only have to ride a chocobo out to the higher part, no need to go through Ifrit's Cauldron at all. There is a ??? spot near the edge overlooking the falls. When you eximine it, about 6 NM bees spawn and attack you. I had little problem soloing them as a 73 DRG/WHM, but I think I would have died without WHM sub. After defeating the NMs reexamine the ???. Talk to Mihgo in Kazham. She tells you to take the following items to the guard to Gilgamesh's door in Norg: A bunch of Habanero Peppers (Rare/Ex, dropped off of Mantraps in Misareaux Coast), a Serving of Black Curry, and a Mutton Tortilla (both avail on AH under food) . That's as far as I've gotten, the Mantraps are very stingy with thier rare/ex Pepper drop ><

Just to clear up the rumors, this is not for a new summon as of now. For this quest you get something like 6k gil and for the 'Tuning Out' quest you get something like 4k gil.

I went to Oldton Movopolis last night and got the steel ingot off of a moblin leadman...lol I was lucky and it dropped after the first kill...:o)
