A Testing Time
|
Mission OrdersAssist the Aurastery's School of Magic in the selection of the venue for their next skills test. They want to record the number of monsters you can hunt at a specific area, in a set number of days, to fairly standardize their skills test. WalkthroughIf you donate 4 stacks of crystals to a gate guard you can skip this mission. After talking to the gate guard head to the Aurastery and talk to Moreno-Toeno. The Minster wants to test his students in Tahrongi Canyon, but he needs a benchmark by which to compare his students to adventurers such as yourself. You are to directed to Tahrongi Canyon to exterminate as many monsters as you can in 1 hour. This is a TIMED mission and you have to be quick getting there. Warp or a Scroll: Instant Warp is a good idea to have. Try to exterminate 30+ monsters in less then a hour AND make your way back to the Aurastery. This is a cumulative mission - so more the merrier! In other words, having more people CANNOT hurt your chances in finishing this quest on time. When you are finished, go back to Moreno-Toeno to complete the mission. The following are transcripts and videos from the mission A Testing Time. Mission SeriesThis mission is part of the Windurst rank series. The complete mission series includes:

I completed the first part of the mission when I was lvl 17 thf. I was soloing (sneak attack was doing the trick...)
I didn't warp or use chocobo and killed 25 mosters. So the first part should be easy.

I did this mission again in pennisula after passing the first mission with 59 kills, The first time I did it I was level 22, the 2nd time I was level 31. I think the number required to finish is directly related to what level you are. I failed the 2nd time with 79 kills.

I did this at level 20 and killed 32 before going back and it said I overtly over did it and I had to gain some skillbefore trying again..So I do think level matters.

I know that the ONLY requirement for this mission is rank 2.25, as for level that all depends. Level 22-23 solo(min). And in a party I wouldn't be surprised if a good party of level 12-14 would do this mission very easily. So giving this mission a level requirement should be 1, because if you were to do the other missions, and switch to a level 1 Job, he would still give you the option to do the mission.
There should be a RECOMENDED min solo level for every mission/quest, in the stats window so people wont argue about what the min level should be!
- Ragnerok -
- Mithra -
- lvl 22mnk/11war -

Guy that was a warrior/monk with a lvl 17 rdm: You say you used "instant warp scroll". I thought only whm could warp.
What does "mob" mean? Linked monsters?

Try rereading his post:

(instant warp scroll)
I tried. What are you pointing me to? Is it "warp" vs. "instant warp"? What's an instant warp scroll? Does it allow you to warp without being a black mage?

Correct - the "instant warp" is sold via the War Wizards for Conquest Points (I believe 1500, under "common items"). It is usuable by anybody as far as I know; as a Red Mage I can use it (I also can use the instant reraise scoll bought there).

I have done both the first and second iteration of this mission, the first in Tahrongi Canyon killing pretty much everything that moved. I was a level 22 Warr/11mnk at the time and had a 17 rdm with me and killed 47 mobs and made it back (instant warp scroll) with 8 hours to spare.
The second part was in Bub Peninsula and myself (at 24/12 now) and a 20thf/10mnk went in and killed 80 monsters and still made it back in plenty of time. Now am on the third iteration and its back to Tahrongi Canyon, I was hoping for Merphatud Mountains but oh well.
To the "Why Fail" guy: You start the mission at 4:00am then you must turn back in the doll between 3:00am and 4:00am, its my guess you waited till after 4:00am to finish it and were to late.

I donated less than 20 crystals to get mission 4 and once I finished mission 4 I donated about 6 crystals to enable this mission, you dont need 20+ crystals to enable it, but if ya wanna skip it, then ya you will need 20+ crystals.
I would suggest just buying earth crystals weather you want to enable this quest or skip it sicne earth crystals are sold for like 10 gils each sometimes.

I kill 37 creatures in 30mins... when back and he told me I am early by 5 hrs. Then I waited... to 2hr, then finally, he said I failed.
I dont get it... And specific mobs to kill? Cause I only kill Rarab, Pym, crawlers, Dhamel, sapling, bees.

Has anyone gotten a 100+ kills? I'm wondering if there's a reward besides rank points. Plus... are the rank points you get tied to the number of kills you get?
I was able to pass this mission with just 19 kills... but that was the 2nd time i PASSED it in the canyon. The first time I passed with 31 kills. THen i went to bubu with 55 kills with another party. Then back to canyon for the 19... because i did not have enough rank points to get the Three kingdoms mission offered to me.
But even still... i wonder if there's a reward for being an uber mob-killa.

it's possible to do this mission at a much lower level than 25.. *with a party*. a friend and i did it when he was a lvl 13 whm and i was a lvl 16 blm, and we had the help of a 14 rdm and 17mnk. our party racked up 63 kills in the canyon and made it back with plenty of time to spare. so just get yourself a group together, and you'll have to trouble at all :)

Min Level definitely not 25. I tried to do it today and try to kill 30+, (Killed 32) But Missed the timelimit. It won't offered to redo it immediately so you have to wait for some time.
Anonymous
If you miss the time limit you just have to zone and talk to a gate guard again. They will offer the same mission to you. You go back get your doll and be off on your merry way
This mission may be offered at Rank 2.
Lol, I killed 92 just goofing off with my lvl 41 whm/blm combo. Killed 2 more by poison but apparently they didnt count.

You can get this mission after completing the Lost for Words mission and before the Three Kingdoms mission. I think the only requirements is that you have to reach a necessary level of rank points (from donating crystals to a gate guard).
I suggest being at least Level 20 before trying this mission on your own (solo) since you'll have to go to different regions throughout the quest (and having a chocobo license - level 20 requirement - will make things easier). The first region will be in T. Canyon and the second region would be the B. Peninsula .. don't know after that. Hope this helps ..
