Journey Abroad
|
Mission OrdersVisit the faraway nations of Bastok and Federation of Windurst and receive official recognition as an adventurer. WalkthroughThe guard sends you to talk to Halver in Northern San d'Oria. He needs you to help out at Bastok and Federation of Windurst embassies. You can do this in any order. If you chose to start in Bastok, go speak with Pius in the office of the President. If you have done Federation of Windurst first, you will need to speak to the San d'Orian Consulate Savae E Paleade before going to see Pius. You will be sent to Palborough Mines to get some Mythril Sand. First, check the Auction House to see if there are any Mine Gravel for sale. If so, buy it. If not, talk to Grohm in Metalworks and he will give you three Pickaxes. Just in case, you should buy some extras. They are sold by Boytz in Bastok Mines or at the Auction House. Note: You must talk to Grohm to get a cut scene to be able to complete this mission. In Palborough Mines at (F-7, first floor), you will find the Mythril Seam. Use the Pickaxe on the Mythril Seam until you get a Mine Gravel. (obviously you can skip this if you bought the gravel) Once you get the gravel, find the Refiner on the third floor at (I-7). Trade the Mine Gravel to the Refiner and the machine will begin to work. Head to the machine on the second floor and pull the lever. You should receive an oz. of Mythril Sand. You can take a shortcut back to Bastok by jumping into the boat on the third floor. Trade the Mythril Sand to Savae E Paleade. Next, it's off to Federation of Windurst! Next head to the ambassador in Federation of Windurst. He sends you to a tower in Windurst Walls to get a key. Zone into Heaven's Tower and speak to Kupipi to get the key and head off to Giddeus. At this point, you will need a full group. You can buy a map of Giddeus in Windurst Woods. When you get to Giddeus you want to go to a burning circle located at G-12 in the southwest corner. Get ready for battle. Head into the circle and a dragon will appear. You need to defeat the dragon. After you do it, report back to the ambassador and then back to the guard and you gain rank 3 and 3,000 Gil. If Federation of Windurst is first, then you need to take a shield offering to Uu Zhoumo, the Yagudo NPC guarding the treasure room in the lowest part of Giddeus, then you have to fight Zhuu Buxu the Silent and retrieve 2 Parana Shields and trade them to the San d'Orian consulate. They tell you to go to Bastok next where you will get tossed around to different people until you are told to go into the mines. Go with a party to the 3rd floor and head towards the burnt spot on the map, and you will zone into the next part where you will find the burning circle. Then kill the Black Dragon and see the cutscene, head back to the San d'Orian consul in Federation of Windurst, they will complete you for their part and you just need to head on home to complete the mission. Note that this mission is given in all three kingdoms, so you can group with anyone and still complete it. Update NotesAs of February 14th, 2011, there is no longer a level cap restriction on the mission battlefield. To read the transcripts for this quest, see the Journey Abroad Spoilers page.

As far as sleeping the dragon, have a bard or black mage. Bard uses 2-hour and Foe Lullaby, or black mage uses Elemental Seal + Sleep.

You will return to your lvl25 stats, spells and skills (watch what your combat skills drop to especially), and I hope to god you have on equipment that's suitable for a lvl25 character because if you don't that stuff is removed.
Furthermore, getting help to kill the dragon is easily more difficult than actually killing it. A party of 4 level 25 characters is actually plenty as long as one of them can withstand a lot of damage (in other words, a tank) and you activate a high-damage 2hr like Chainspell, Hundred Fists or Mighty Strikes (or all three).
The catch is the other eligibility requirements. To help you fight the dragon someone must fit ONE of the following categories:
a) They are rank 3 or above. This means they've already killed the dragon and can reenter the burning circle to help someone else out. Note that people in this position must enter the Burning Circle AFTER the person who's on the quest, so don't freak out if they can't enter the circle right away. You have to go in ahead of them.
b) They are on this exact mission and have to kill this exact dragon. If someone from San d'Oria is Rank 2, on this mission, BUT CHOSE TO DO A DIFFERENT CITY FIRST, they CANNOT enter the burning circle. That is, if his dragon is in windurst and yours is in Bastok, you cannot enter each other's burning circles until one of you has beaten your dragon already.
I spent hours gathering parties to kill my dragon and then additional hours helping someone else kill their dragon. It's a really cool fight, but the investment of time is huge (especially if you end up cursed) so ask NICELY for help when doing this one, or arrange well ahead of time the party that's going to help you out, keeping in mind the restrictions above.

Each city has a mission for rank 3 that ends with a dragon fight. If you are from San d'Oria going to fight the Windurst dragon, people from Bastok that are doing there mission who are also up to the point of fighting THE SAME DRAGON will also be able to party with you, and likewise if you are fighting the Bastok dragon, Windurstians ready to fight that dragon can also fight it.
It's not just the dragon you have to kill anyway. There's also this little ugly flying guy that you've gotta take out. It's best if you can put the dragon to sleep and then take out the other first. We tried that of course, but the dragon resisted the sleep spell and our BLM didn't see that.
In any case, the three of us that were remaining used our two hours and got lucky.
I dont know much more about the quest but by reading the posts im gonna have to fight a dragon or something at the end..? What lvl mnk would be able to solo it if it is possible. If not would anyone want to form a party?

I put the gravel in the machine, then tried to get down... I got lost (no map, heh...), and was ambushed by 3 Quadav, who linked with 2 more... needless to say, I died, and there was no raise.
So, I respawned at Bastok, and the question is: If I go back to Palbourough, can I take the onz of mythril or whatever from the machine even though I left the area, or do I have to re-mine some gravel and start over?
