Description

Kurando claims that every time the airship flies over Rolanberry, a horrible beast appears. The best he is referring to is a Silk Caterpiller. It spawns when airship passes around K-7. (Be careful, it links with Berry Grab, and there are Evil Weapons around. Level 30 will read it Even Match.) Kill the beast and return the Silkworm Egg it drops to Kurando so he may validate his fear of flying to others.

30 MNK / 12 WAR, used 100 fists but I probably didn't need to. He went down fast, left me with 595/697 HP, but he did poison me which lasted for a while - I was 435 HP when the poison effect left. Dropped a silk thread and the quest item, and gave me 100 XP.
Fame?

Ok. So I have the "Silkworm egg" sitting in my mog house. Accidently got it killing the "Silk worm". I read up on the quest here and now I'm stuck with it because the stupid Kurando guy just keeps saying hes afraid of flying. I'd like to know what amount of Bastokan fame I need for him to give me the quest being that "No fame required" is a big fat lie. I've started going through Bastok and doing a couple of the quests but still no luck. If you have any idea please post.

Killed it as a 31DRG/15THF

I was chatting when I engaged it, so I forgot to Sneak Attack it for the first blow. I also forgot to summon my Wyvern until already engaged. I still had no trouble killing it. Had about 125/542 or something like that at the end of the battle

Can't get this quest?
# Feb 26 2004 at 12:58 PM Rating: Default
I have a pretty decent amount of fame in Bastok. I did the repeatables enough times to get Warp. But I cannot get this quest. Any idea why? I figured I was so sure to get it that I killed the Caterpillar before I even got the quest. Egg dropped on first kill- I soloed it with ease with 41/20 BLM/WHM.

Anyone else having trouble getting the quest? He just tells me he hates airships. I tried trading the egg anyway but no dice. Argggg.
30 solo as whm, highly combat trained

I was passing by Rollanbery Fields then I saw this Silk Cartepillar. I knew it was a NM, then I checked it and it appears Impossible to Gauge for me. Im level 38whm and already have the quest. So I didnt tryed to kill it.

I found the Silk Caterpillar by accident roaming around Rolanberry looking for a stone monument.

I solo'd is as a female elvaan Lv30 warrior with Lv18 whm subbed at Lv15. I used Mighty Strikes (2 hour), and Defender, and killed the ***** with like 4/5 health to spare and didn't use any whm spells except Paralyze and Dia. Isn't very hard.
Soloable, 35 BLM

Put on Shock Spikes, used 2hr, Elemental Seal, Bind. Then casted all my II version spells, bind broke, he got me down to like 30% HP left but he died. Worm does spawn in K-7, almost near L-8, between the 2 wall pieces up near the valley between the mountains.
egg

Is the Silworm Egg an EX quest item, or is it the same thing as Crawler Eggs? If it's the same as Crawler Eggs, could you just buy an egg and give it to him without killing the caterpillar?

Silkworm, and if you go out from rolanberry from jeuno turn left you will see the bone structures that spawn weapons. It spawns in between the first opening of these two structures on a hill.

Btw where is the Npc in bastok port?

Silkworm has about 700hp, and hits a lvl 42 Taru BLM in full RSE (def 127) for 24-31 dmg. Soloable for sure at this point. Probably soloable as soon as a BLM has Fire2.
I know what it is

NEVERMIND!! Ignore my last post.

Talk to Kurando in Port Bastok, around the tunnel close to the beach (H-6/7)

2. Contents - To let people know the terror of the airship, please bring the proof of the monsters that appear in Roranberry fields when the airship passes.

3. Defeat Silk Caterpillar (looks like a Berry Grab), and get the silkworm egg. It spawns when
airship passes around K-7.

4. Be careful, it links with Berry Grab, and there are Evil Weapons around. Level 30 will read it
Even Match.

5. Trade the egg with Kurando.

6. As a reward, you will receive Blacksilk Neckachief (Lev 20, Def 2, Int+1, Res.Darkness+3)

#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 07 2003 at 3:38 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think this is that mission where you have to fly to Sandoria from jeuno or something, and it has to be a full moon and a monster appears or there is a ??? at the back of the ship and you examine it. I'm unsure but i heard of something like this
What Monster?
# Dec 05 2003 at 12:52 PM Rating: Decent
What is the name and location of the monster that needs to killed for this quest?

You might want to take your own advice.. cause if you had read the entire post (including date posted) you would have realized that the information wasn't available yet when he asked for the information.

Hopefully people will take a bit more time in looking at the date posted in the future.
