The Fanged One (Ranger Flag Quest)  

This is the easiest Advanced Job to earn. I did it completely without aggro as THF30. Take your choco as deep into cave as possible. When I got there, only 3 sabertoothes were out, 1 of which was even outside the cave. the other 2 wandered back and forth, but came no further than the entrance to the large room with the bones. Get off your choco as close to the back wall as possible. From there, examine the bones twice to spawn the Old Tiger, whos already BT to you (wont hit you cuz hes [Too Weak]). From there, just stand in the back and don't get aggro'd by the Tigers, who to me were [Tough]. When he is almost dead the Old Tiger will come back to the room. Examine the bones. Then, either work your way out slowly to dodge aggro, or [Perfect Dodge] => [Flee] to dash to the Meriphitaud Mts.

I'm currently a lvl 15 Hume Warrior/Monk on Odin server. Working my warrior class to 30 then planning on getting the Ranger advanced job.

I haven't personally tried to obtain the job yet but it doesn't sound half as hard as the Dragoon flag quest nor the Summoner flag quest. Oh come on guys... go here...bring this back...done! You can finish this quest faster than the Dark Knight flag ><.

To the people who actually died on this quest... all I got to say to you is... O _ o*

I talked to Perih Vashai and she did say go witness the life cycle of nature, but that was all that was said. Shouldn't there have been a pop-up box that allowed you to accept the quest? Or is that the way it's supposed to be?

thanks

Just did this solo as a lvl 32 THF.

Took a Choco to the cave and luckily, nobody else was there. Dismounted, checked the bones, and just hung out in the back of the cave waiting for the Old Sabertooth to die.

i was trying to do this quest and i died/delvled to 29, can i still do it if ive already accepted the quest?

When I completed this quest for - Kyrah - I rode a chocobo with my boyfriend to the cave where the old tiger spawns. We dismounted and stood there for only a second. I thought, "What the hell," and clicked the bones and got the item. I warped back to Windurst and completed my quest without ever seeing the tiger.

My guess, it died right as I showed up and disappeared as I was rounding the corner. Oh well...

Okay, I went via chocobo to the tiger's cave. Old Kittyface hadn't spawned yet, so, I hung around, hoping my chocobo didn't leave me. Those Sabertooths patrolling around were more than terrifying.

Old Sabertooth spawned, so, I targeted him and had my chocobo follow him around. He had reached the halfway point of death when chocobo left me. Well, Old doesn't aggro, so, I just kept him targeted and watched his energy go down little by little. Once he was dead, I ran to the back of the cave and clicked on the bones. I got a fang and, too excited to notice WHAT kind of fang it was, I insta warped back to Windurst.

I traded the fang to the chieftainess, and she asked me why I'd killed it, or, something like that, and that it was meaningless to explain the fang's meaning to me. I was horrified to realize I'd gotten a normal, BLACK TIGER FANG from the pile instead of the key item OLD TIGER FANG. Furious, I talked to her about five more times and got the same message.

So, I got another insta warp, and headed on back to the cave to try again. There was someone farming here. I asked her to please leave the Old Tiger alone. I'm not sure if she was japanese or english or what, but, she left him alone. I've been stuck in that cave for about three days now, watching him die, and checking the bones. Only getting 'there are many tiger bones here...' now.

So, I decided, just recently, to try and go back to town and see if she'd say something different, so I could try again.

Scrolling through my items, about to insta warp, I was suddenly brutally slaughtered by tigers and de-levelled down to 29.

I'm going to go back to kazham later and level back up.

Once I do, I'm going to try this quest again. Now, can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

I got there and saw the Tiger when I got there. It took about 15 minutes for him to start dieing. Its pretty obvious when he does as is HP drops rather fast. Think mimic poison on a level 65.

So I see his start to dye and 2 high levels arrive as he is at 1/2. I say please don't kill it and of course a level ~65 DRK wastes it and then they are surprised that the fang is not there. He was there to help his friend get the quest done but he just messed it up for both of us. None of us got a fang. I was there for a while so It was not becasue of the proximity issue.

Anyways I got a PT invite and I left the are rather pissed. After I accepted the invite I get a tell from the DRK stating that the tiger just popped again. I tell my incomplete PT that I'm going back. I get there and the tiger has been dead for a while becasue it took me a while to get there. The DRK was nice enough to kill all in my way to get there, but it took a lot of time. I was aftaid that I'd not get it becasue I did not actually see it die or for that matter I was not even close when it did. Anyways, long story short I got in eventually and I got my fang even though I did not see it drop.

My recommendation is that you tell anyone farming there that you are there for the quest. People farm these tigers and the old one will link when it sees another tiger getting attacked. So your best bet is to politely ask people to let you get your drop before they get the changce to ***** you over unwittingly.

Did this as a 44Sam, got to the back of the cave, got off choco, checked bones, item was right there waiting for me, walked out, never seen "old tiger"

i am really lucky because i will have a lvl 75 friend helping me do the quest. ^^ gotta love those guys. ^^ ^^ ^^.

This is a very easy quest but only sometime.
If you are unlucky you get out there and there are like 4 Sabertooth Tiger.
So i was afraid to get off my Chocobo to get the Fang.
But luckily i had invis and sneak to get away when there was less sabertooths.
But all in all this is a EXTREMELY simple quest and worth it.
