The Crimson Trial - RDM AF1

SummaryRetrieve some Orcish Dried Food from a storage hole in Davoi. Sharzalion will let you in on something in return. WalkthroughTalk to Sharzalion, who is at the bar in the tavern in South San d'Oria. If you're a level 40+ Red Mage, he'll give you the quest and tell you he wants some Orcish Dried Food. Go to Davoi and head to E-10. Make sure you use sneak and invisible, to avoid being attacked by orcs hiding on ledges. When you reach E-10, clear the area and then examine the ??? at F-9, beneath the small log bridge. A notorious monster named Purpleflash Brukdok will appear. Kill the NM orc, which is a black mage, and it drops a Davoi Storage Key. Next you have to find a storage hole to trade your key to. There are multiple locations about Davoi where the storage hole might spawn. A few locations are near the zone toJugner Forest, some are in the deeper parts of the zone and a couple are on the center island, which requires passing through Monastic Cavern to reach. The best way to find a storage hole is to run around, scrolling your cursor across your surroundings. Once you find one, trade your key to the storage hole to acquire the Orcish Dried Food. Return to Sharzalion and talk to him to receive your Fencing Degen. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the Red Mage artifact armor series. See the list below to find out which quest comes next.

Oh god we didnt realize that this would be hard -.- it was only me(53whm) and alucard(53rdm) we beat the nm but in the middle of the fight 3 orcs spawned not even that close but they ran over and smashed us *sigh* we got the key but now we can't find the hole >.< time to spend the next 3hrs searchin lol

Beat this guy w/ me (RDM41/BLM20) and my friend who is whm62/blm30. As the other posts say...this guy has a ton of hp. I just kept refreshing my whm friend while he tanked. I threw in a Water II every once in a while, and when i had good mp I would melee w/ enwater. He did most of the big healing (like cure IV and such) while I did cure II on him a couple of times. But we beat it :P. Now for the hard part...finding that damn storage hole >.<. Wish me luck! ^^
Edit: Got it last night! Went to davoi by myself and shouted if anyone has seen the storage hole to /tell me. Was fighting easy preys...and got a link >.<...was saved by a high lvl mnk, then i asked that person if he has seen the storage hole. He has! I asked him to show me and sure enough...(and luckly) it was back where the Too Weaks are ...and that was the end of it. I walked to San d'Oria and claimed my prize...after seeing a kool cutscene. The cutscene left unanswered questions...I'm guessing as I do the rest of the AF quests I will see some closure.

I went to davoi to pop the NM but when I got to the "???" all I got was "It is damp here. There is no sunlight." People say something about sticking there hand in the dampness, but I didn't get any message about my hand... Is something wrong??? I was rng at the time because it slghtly outlevels my rdm... but I've seen people post about fighting it as other jobs... so I don't think that's the problem. It was 14:00 so it would be "dayttime" but the weather had a lightning element so I guess that could be the problem.... I saw 1 post on here that mentioned after you click the ??? you have to kill some orcs and Purpleflash will take their place??? Can anyone explain how this works? Thanks!
Well, make sure you have the quest active, and then make sure you go to the correct ???. It's past the well for pld flag quest, there will be some mid-levl orcs and lizards there, and a little log ramp over a log wall, the ??? is under the ramp.
Haha, ok, I paniced a little early I guess... I came back and killed 1 orc and he popped....

Just killed him 3 times. easy as pie.
went as a 59nin/rdm, due to some horror stories and people sying things about bad linkage I came prepped with lots of pots/meds/drinks/food and my 2 hour (so die w/o exp loss since Id delvl, lol)
How much did I use?...not one freaking thing.
There wasa 42rdm/whm there with me who happened to be at camp when I showed up (expecting to solo it I think, after fight he was glad he didnt try lol. too bad you died to agro as I was logging, sorry safetynet! >.< ) Anyways. We buffed up with pro/shell II and refresh and we started the fight. I debuffed him down with ninjitsu then widdled away at his hp. He got to about 60% and manafonted, that wasnt too terribly bad since he didnt do many -ga spells. I took about 400dmg total from manafont, if that couple cures took care of that. His melee attacks are {Too Weak} hitting me for <20 when he did (he missed me a lot) At about 30% we had linkage with a brawler, I widdled it to about 60% then rdm just sleept it while we finished off purpleflesh. One thing though, purple has a lot of hp, I was hitting at around 65/katana and it was about 1-2% of his hp per round of attacks Blade: Chi swung for 500-600 and took maybe 6-8% of his hp so judge it that way. Anyways in the end I feel had I been solo I wouldve used a few yag drinks for refresh but otherwise I only needed a couple cures. and some of which were to rdm when he got caught with a nasty -ga once or twice.
Since the rdm needed key as well we killed again (I got first key but that would be rude to just leave someone who had no chance in soloing it to kill so :) ) This fight went even better, he used manafont earlier and used a lot more -ga this time around but still, no issue. and no links either. The mobs around this guy were EP- to the rdm so no issue at all. On the other side of the fence there was a veteran (which is what killed the rdmas I was logging) who was EP-- to me(its in the low 50s), an easy fight but just as a note to lower lvl parties that do this dont fight near the fence as it will link through it.
Well thats all, happy hunting :)

I talked to the guy and got the key and everything, but all the storage holes I checked were empty. I don't get it...
Just did this quest with a RDM41, MNK40 that came along for the fight only, and me, BLM69. The fight with the NM was harder then expected. Halfway into the fight we had to disengage and elemental seal+sleep it so we could rest for mp. After that we took down the rest of him. When he was about 10% left i ran out of mp again and manafonted for the final blast.
Our storage hole was found at E-10, where some mobs checked Easy Prey to my 69, and just after that i caught aggro. I dealt with it easily, but still i was amazed. Never knew Davoi was that tough.

First of all, I would like to give a big shout out and massive thank you to all of my Linkshell friends who helped me with this quest. I did this quest last night with 2 of my LS members and a high level 75RDM who happened to be passing by. Started off with just 3 party members (67WAR, 42RDM, 44BLU) making our way through Davoi to F-9 where Purpleflash Brukdok spawns. Only myself (42RDM) and 44BLU had to use invisible for most of the way to avoid aggro from orcish bowshooters/gladiators and footsoldiers. My LS friend 67WAR was pwning orcs like there was no tomorrow, hitting them for 1003 damage with WAR WS "Rampage" duel wielding axe's. Anyway, we all got to the river bridge, just yards away from the ??? log bridge that you must activate to get to Purpleflash. Since myself (42RDM) was gonna get aggro from the Orcish Zirkets and other high lvl orcs nearby, my 67WAR ls friend cleared all nearby orcs for us, after which we rested quickly to heal mp before NM fight with Brukdok himself. We could see him already spawned beyond other side of the bridge. As we were healing, me and BLU got killed by orc gladiator hitting the hell out of us very quickly (he does attack very quickly so avoid gladiators at all costs). This is where a passing 75RDM/37WHM raised us and I asked if he would help me get my AF1 gear. No problem he said since he needed help when he was at my level and was only to happy to help - Thank You Takatosi (75RDM). Anyway, 75RDM pulled Purpleflash back over the bridge with 2 linked orcs, him and 67WAR whooped *** with these two links and Purpleflash himself within a matter of minutes with RDM using WS "Savage Blade" and WAR using WS "Rampage" he was a pushover. Me and Blu didn't really need to do anything but watch. Whole fight was over in less than 4 minutes. Got my Davoi storage key and found storage hole bout 10-15 minutes later around (F-6), traded my key and got the food. Whole thing took bout 30-45 mins to do with a lot of help. Couldn't have done this without my 2 LS friends and 75RDM. Afterwards, I warped back to sandy, talked to Shazrilion, watched CS and viola...got my AF1 fencing degen sword and what a beauty it is!
Many thanks to all who helped and here's my undying gratitude shout to those who helped, all on Fenrir server and all in DrunkinMonkeys Linkshell.
67WAR -> Arandal
44BLU -> Dulid
42RDM -> Metabol (me)
75RDM -> Takatosi (passer-by)
I owe you guys everything for all of your help, couldn't have done it without you. Many thanks :)

You don't need to do this AF as RDM. I went as my 73 paladin and killed NM, got the storage chest key and traded it to get the key item. The NM was easy at that level, his stonega 2 spell did about 20 damage. He DOES have alot of HP but I didn't even have to heal once through the fight, ended it with 800 HP.
Another note, you don't even need to click on the ??? below the bridge. This NM spawns every few minutes. I went in there first on the right side of the wall and he was there, but realized I had to walk around and when I got there he was gone. So I just waited and he spawned again a few minutes later. He DID aggro me though so I don't think level matters in regards to aggro and this NM.

just did this quest with a friend from my LS and a very nice theif that i met in Davoi. thief (75 thf/ 37 nin) pretty well wiped the damn floor with Brukdok while my friend(65 whm/ 32 blm) healed him. he spammed Sleepga, but there was no manafont used, so i'd guess he only uses it after about 4 minutes *he died in 3.7 minutes for the pt i took, so i'm rounding up on it). i didnt even need to touch the ???, he was already out when we got to his spawn point...so he probably is already out whenever someone w/ this quest is around his area. i got lucky and saw the Storage hole on the way in right by the entrance, and it was there when i got back, so i count myself doubly lucky on that one. good luck to all yall that're about to go after this guy, and remember, he can still bring down a 75 if they're not properly equiped and healed.

Purpleflash popped up after I put my hand in the damp ??? under the bridge, and after I decided to wipe out the nearby orcs for boredom.
My theory? After you hit the ???, he's the next Orc to respawn. Kinda like a lottery, only fixed so you win.

I've read and heard that the storage hole keeps constantly moving every minute or two. Can anyone confirm this? If true , can you just stay in one spot where people have found theirs and eventually the storage hole will come to you?

Well, let me just say this. I just completed this and it didn't move. I found it in the midst of a camp of VT orcs. I wandered around hoping it would respawn somewhere else. After 9 minutes I came back and it was still there. Luckily the orcs weren't facing me and I was able to use the key.

clicking on the ??? under the wood plank does NOT spawn the NM right on top of you.
I clicked it several times, nothing happened. I ran back to the west to where there were more orcs, nothing. Then as I turned back, I found that the NM had spawned behind me, in the passageway.
So, it could be that there is a delay after you click the ???.
It could also be that he is a timed spawn and it has nothing to do with that ??? .

I just soloed this today as theif. 72/36 thf/nin. NM Fight was easy. Out of 1.2K HP he left me with just under 300. Spammed BIO, STONEAGA II , and various other tier 2 magics. Finding the hole .. it was in the 70ish area. Tonko Ni ... Perfect Dodge, grab food in hole, run back to monastic caverns. Overall time to complete ... an hour or so.

I did this last night with my 47RDM/23BLM and a buddy 75BLM. We killed Purpleflash in....about 3-4 minutes. The dork just has alot of HP but he's a pushover. I also didn't see him manafont....O.o There's really not alot to watchout for with him, just keep up stoneskin and some other good buffs and hack away! >D Anyhoot, after we killed him, my buddy did escape, we walked back in, made a right and another right and "voila!" Storage Hole. This was easy as sin! Whole thing took less than 10 minutes. ^_^ Enjoy!
P.S. This is a very good sword. I'm Dual Wielding it with the buzzard tuck, and together those work wonders ^_-

Lol, alot of things are easy when a level 75 is helping you
Did this today as a RDM/BLM 50/25 with my lvl 49 NPC-buddy set to fierce attacker. Killed Purpleflesh Brukdok in 5-10 minutes or so. This is a really nasty NM for its level. I didn't get any exp from that fight. I debuffed it and let my NPC-buddy do the most of the work. Wacked also on it with my sword. When it is using manafont things will go nasty, had to heal my NPC-buddy alot.
After the fight I was worried that I wouldn't find the storage hole, but luckily I found it 15 minutes later at K-10

Ok so yeah I did this a couple weeks ago..I Used My 60pld/nin and I've found maybe i got lucky but maybe i didnt but when the NM spamed Manafont It really only casted Bio and few crappy ele spells..i subbed nin for pld for blink tanking..
The mob went down pretty easy tho I had my fiance with me a 40whm to help with the cures..it just took awhile since the mob didnt quite like Vorpal Blade <O.O> I wasnt hitting it all to hard. It took a lil while to find the storage hole but it was right at the entrance to the Forest.
A 60 tank or DD could probably solo this with ease with a WHM present

Me and my brother (44Rdm and 57Smn) have duoed Poisonhand and a plethora of other NMs here(as 42rdm and 57smn), with links and stuff, would we be able to duo this NM effectively?

Okay, after a few minutes of frustration based purely on coincidence (BLM had just killed him as I arrived) I realized that Purpleflash is just a non-placeholder spawn in the area leading up to the log bridge. 10-20 minutes at most.
