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.

Please someone help these people out. The well is in E-10 the NM for Rdm AF-1 is in E-9.
My friend (55 BST) helped me do this quest this evening. We had invis/sneak all the way to the NM spawn area and we fought Purpleflesh Brukdok.
He was already spawned when we got there so either there is no need to trigger him or someone else triggered him by accident.
Once we got the key, we started looking for the storage hole. Of all places, it spawned right on the center area with the ruined house. With 3 big orcs patrolling the area. They were all IT to my level 55 friend.
So we decided to call it quits and return another day when its in a more accessible area.
However, I wanted it so bad that I decided to go it alone and risk life and limb to attempt to get to the storage hole.
I entered the Monastic cavern throuh the H-11 entry and worked my way through to the upper exit. Had sneak/invis on me all the time. A lot of the Orcs down there were IT to me (44RDM).
Once I made it back up to Davoi, I cast all possible buffs I could think off plus sneak/invis.
Then carefully positioned myself close to the "Storage Hole" which was in between two IT orc.
I dropped invis, traded the key to the hole and once I got confirmation that I got the key item, I warped out of there.
Then after doing the formalities at the tavern, you get the shiny new Fencer Degen which looks so cool by the way.
Take note that the orcs will aggro the moment you drop invis so every split second counts so plan your moves accordingly.
Some notes:
I am thinking that blink was more important than stoneskin during that event because one orc was swinging at me and another one was shooting at me with his bow and I did not get hit during those valuable seconds.
Also, make sure that the davoi storage key is on top of your inventory list. That way, once you open the trade window, the key is easy to select.
It saves you some time compared to having to scroll down your inventory list during the trade session.
But... if you have been RSE hunting at lower levels you should know these tactics by now :)

Oddly enough, he was already spawned for me as well when I did this today. Strange.
Party was 58WAR/NIN (Rathen)
58WHM/BLM (Iamjobe)
53RDM/BLM (Gotti) Me
Easy fight. About 30secs.

I have one warning for this quest. Davoi can be a very scary place, so be prepared. The day I did this quest a high lvl pld was zoning all sorts of Orcs to the zone (I tried to count them but lost count at 50). The result: my whole party was annihilated, even the lvl 50s.
So get in, kill the NM, which is not so tough really, and get out quickly. I wish you all luck.

Yes, you must go through the Monastic Cavern to get there. By now it probably changed places already unless nobody wanted to brave the central island.
Well, I had gotten the quest as soon as I had achieved Lv40, so it was always there lingering in the back of my head. Then, one day as I am seeking pt, I walk into Lower Jeuno and there's a Lv60 BST shouting that he is offering his help to anyone who needs it for 10,000 gil ( regardless of the task... thanks Cao!! ). So, I jump on it and ask if he can help me with my AF1. He gladly accepts, and we head off to Davoi.
Once in Davoi, he lead the way right to the exact spawn. We waited about 2 minutes and then Purpleflash spawned. The BST summoned a Funguar and the pet tanked the whole fight. I just nuked and did a WS if I had enough TP... as did the BST. The fight didn't last too long as the Funguar was obviously very strong. We beat it in about 1-2 minutes due to the NM's amount of HP. The most danger I was in is when I got AoE'd down to 365 HP. ^^;
After Purpleflash died, I lotted on the key, and obtained it. I paid the BST, he left, and I was on my own for the Storage Hole hunt. Since I had no idea where to go, I just ran back to the Jugner zone and hopefully find some interesting information on Storage Hole spawns on Allakhazam. I read that there were a couple spawns by the Jugner zone, so I went there and sure enough, the Storage Hole was just sitting there... all juicy. I quickly traded the key and warped out.
The rest is history... went to Sandy, talked to the NPC, and got my sexy new AF sword. ^^
I was probably very lucky since I know some people search for this hole for hours and don't find it. I wish any other RDM that is attempting this quest good luck!

We had about 5 people, lvls 40-47 and one level 51, our SMN died on the way there though (so did I) and she deleveled to 39, making most of her equipment unequippable, but we went on and killed Purpleflash anyway.
He was there but we let what must've been two JP have it, so we waited for next spawn while killing the nearby orcs for no links. While we're fighting, two orcs spawn but I kept sleeping them. Our SMN used her 2 hour and did about 600 damage 2-3 times, it was a bit of a long fight, pretty tough but fun. He uses Sleepga and loves it, and he must have boatloads of HP.
When I had to find the storage hole, it was by myself and no one had seen it when I kept shouting if anyone knew where it was. Eventually I found it in that large large high level orc camp by E-10 or so, right above it to the right on the map? But I was a stealthy taru, waited, dropped invis, trade key, then invis back up and I was outta there.
I was currently using a Flame Degen, which has exact same stats as Fencer Degen but Fencer Degen has +10 MP and +1 INT and +1MND so.. better than my current weapon.

Just did this tonight.
Level 48 RDM.
I went to Davoi and asked for help a JP 75thf/37nin helped me. He would've died if I hadn't been healing him.

He must not be a good thf/nin then because I've seen good ones tank things many times harder than Purpleflash.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
After recieving the Quest as a RDM 40+.......
(((This CAN be done w/o using RDM job, I got the quested items w/ my BLM 60. ^^)))
Get Davoi Map:
San d'oria South (G-9) NPC: Violitte (female ELV) 3,000gil
How to get there:
Jugner Forest > Davoi (G-12 enterance)
In Davoi:
Go through Canal Starting at (J-10) Ending at (D-8). You need INV The ??? & NM is located in (F-9) area.
Prep. Before Fight:
Kill all mobs around the area of F-9 (x3 Orcs, x2 Lizards) Con: Easy - Descent @ lvl 40. This also helps build up TP for main NM fight. Buff up and make sure you have Shell on. Touch ??? to summon the NM. (It takes a minute sometimes for the NM to appear). *respawn is 15mins (repeat steps above)
Fighting NM:
Party 40-45: Just make sure to Silence the NM (ORC is a BLM) (might be very hard to silence, try elemental seal + silence). Firaga and Aeroga is very powerful when the NM castes it, so mages stay back.
High Level help: Just stay away from the -gra spells and let the HL do his/her thing (cure and remove any poison, etc. from him/her)
Once NM is defeated:
** (optional) If you have a BLM 29+ in party, Escape everyone out to Jugner Forest. (the Storage Hole is mostly in the beginning of Davoi)
Looking For Storage Hole:
Try the first area from zone J-7 & J-8, "most" of the time it spawns there(if you're lucky). Shout out /say <Help Me out> <Where?> <Storage> <Hole> and maybe another player will send you a /tell if he/she comes across it. You will mostly need INV only for Orcs, BUT look out for GEEZARDS, they detect sound (SNK). Always TAB everything around the area, the Storage Hole will show up in Green Font, just like a Mining or logging spot. I recomend going in a Clockwise search of Davoi to search.
Storage Hole can also spawn in the Monastic Cavern, there are 5 points of entry (clockwise) K-7 / H-11 / G-7 / H-8 / J-9. There are only ORCs in the Cavern (INV). I recommend when you pass one of those grids, just take a quick look inside.
You Found the G*D D*MN HOLE:
Once you find the Storage Hole, you need to cut INV off to trade Key to get Key Item.
If it's surrounded by ORCS:
- The Safe way - run to a clear area and cast Stoneskin/Blink/Phalanx, then INV. Then run back and cut INV, trade key, 2hr and Warp out.
- No Guts no Glory way - wait till the ORCs are facing their back to you (detect by sight) and cut INV, and trade 2hr and Warp out.
*I have found the Storage hole in these areas Davoi (G-9) near the Well, Davoi(K-9), if that helps any ^^ that's all the loctions I can remember. If you still can't find it, wait for an hour and hope that the Storage Hole will spawn in a better place.
Goodluck to all RDM's out there, I've helped people with this quest about 4 times.

this quest info really needs to be fixed... after helping a friend with WAR AF1, our party went to do this one... after wandering around looking for a ??? (I had initially thought the thyme moss ??? serves a double purpose for this quest) sneak/invising past high level orcs, and finally two people dying when invis wore off at a bad time, we finally gave up with people annoyed at me for wasting their time. Now I have no idea when I'll be able to manage to get together a party to do this, as it was my friend doing his AF who got the people to help.
Only after I came back and thoroughly read through all the comments did I realize he spawns naturally after killing all the orcs before paladin well... I should have realized something was up when the description claims he spawns at E-10 and the paladin well is at E-9 (when it's the other way around)

I just did the quest today. I was RDM40/BLM20, and I just had one other helping me. A high-lvl Mithra RDM. Didn't know her level because she was anon. Getting through Davoi was easy despite the fact I had to keep sneak/invising myself. Killing the NM was interesting. It must've taken about ten minutes or so. We both converted once during the fight, and she kept sleeping any links.
After we beat him, she escaped us, healed, and re-entered Davoi. One shout for the hole was all we needed. Someone saw it, so we ran like hell to get it. Got food, warped back to Jeuno (HP was there), grabbed the first boat back to Sandy, and got my shiny new blade.
Now I have two surprises for whatever lucky party is with me when i level to lvl41.

Just finished this quest last night, and here's how it went...(and I only died 3 times...once during battle, twice when invis wore off)
1st time, went with me (44 RDM) and a friend, 53 SMN. Sneak/invis to spawn point, but Purple is guarded by 2 or 3 other Orcs, all con EM to my 53 SMN friend, IT ++ to me. (BTW, Purple was standing there waiting for us, every time we went to spawn point)
I cast refresh on SMN, he uses Carbuncle to lure/kill 2 Orcs guarding Purple. Once completed, he sends Carbuncle to Purple, and we stand way back. I continue to spam Refresh, and to make Carbuncle essentially free...All was going according to plan, until the 2 Orcs respawned! (yikes!) That was the end of us....so....
We get another friend, 53 BLM, and a 44 WHM to come with, just in case. Sneak/invis back to spawn point. Carby kills first two Orcs, the goes after Purple. When next two Orcs spawn, myself, BLM, and WHM lure them away from Purple, as to not link him, and BLM sleeps one while we beat up the other. Kill, first Orc, then move on to 2nd...done. Estimated that Purple has close to 20k HP! *whew*
After getting storage hole key drop, we started to look around for storage hole, to no avail, though it was late. Went back later on with 44 WHM to help look...found storage hole in H-9 after about 30 minutes of looking. Spawned near Orcs that conned Too Weak, so didnt need sneak/invis. Acquired Orcish Dried Food, back to tavern in Sandoria for my Fencing Degen!
All I can say is this was a fairly easy task, once we had figured out the surroundings by Purple. I would recommend a tank if u can't find a SMN, as Purple hits very hard (he killed Carbuncle probably 6 or 7 times) He also uses Sleepga, which can be very annoying. The hardest thing about the area is you have Too Weak mobs standing next to IT++ mobs, so you never know when something will aggro you. Sneak/Invis the entire time, until you find storage hole.
Hope this helps!!!

Well I finally found some people that wanted to do this quest, and.. We got slaughtered, big time.
We had:
68 PLD
48 RDM
43 RDM
The orcs in E-10 all aggro'd the 68 PLD, and all the orcs killed the us, 'cept for the pld who warped out after we died.
Not worth it, wait 'til I'm lv 75 for all AF I guess.

I just beat this last night.
44 RDM/BLM (me)
50 PLD/WAR
45 DRG/WAR
53 RDM/WHM
Getting there was really easy and clearing it out wasnt very difficult with the 4 of us. He spawns randomly not from the ???. He wasnt very strong but he does have a ton of health. My first silence landed but after that the 53 RDM and my elemental seal silence both were getting resisted. He spams AoE and hard hitting single target spells, we killed him with everyone in low yellow hp.
The storage hole wasnt too hard either because my RDM friend just went around the hard areas while me and the PLD looked at the easy ones. RDM finally found it at F-7.
So overall, not too hard but you will need a couple members at or above 50.

Getting there was really easy and clearing it out wasnt very difficult with the 4 of us. He spawns randomly not from the ???. He wasnt very strong but he does have a ton of health. My first silence landed but after that the 53 RDM and my elemental seal silence both were getting resisted. He spams AoE and hard hitting single target spells, we killed him with everyone in low yellow hp.
The storage hole wasnt too hard either because my RDM friend just went around the hard areas while me and the PLD looked at the easy ones. RDM finally found it at F-7.
So overall, not too hard but you will need a couple members at or above 50.

Found my Storage Hole at (H-9) for what it's worth. Lol, was funny. I hopped for joy that I'd done it with no deaths, then I get to the zone to Jugner... and get killed by 30+ of the strong ones (not the petty Cursemakers or Serjeants) that someone had zone... *twitch* -.o

I just did the first part of this tonight, but i still need to find the storage hole. Purpleflesh was hella easy, we took him down with a 50mnk, 52rng, and me a 42rdm. cake.

I finally found the stinking hole after running around the junger entrance for a few hours...i eventually said 'the hell with it' and went through the monastic caverns and onto the center island, hoping i'd find the hole. sure enough, on the island, surrounded by crazy though Orcs, was the hole. Sneaking around in the caverns and on the island is easy enough,IF you make sure you have a good spot to recast invisible. just to be safe, when i get the message "invisible about to wear off" i quickly find a spot out of orc range, cancel my invis. and re-cast. I got lucky with the hole...the closest orc had his back turned long enough for me to trade the key and grab the food--then I once again invisible'd and got the heck outta there, one happy RDM. Now all I have to do is hit 41.

Did this quest last night with a LS member and 2 friends.
40RDM <me>
41RDM
42MNK
50PLD
Had to kill Purpleflash 2x for 2RDM's. First time he spawned while we were clearing the other Orcs, and it took long to kill him. Our MNK died, but we finally killed him. I used my 2 hour (Chainspell) and Stoneskin/Cure/Thunder/Thunder/Thunder/etc...
Second time, we had more of a plan and strategy. He was still pretty hard (his AOE's hurt) but we did it. Now the othe rRDM and I have to find the "storage holes". Oh, I'm not sure if you need to hit the "???". I think the second time he spawned on his own. About 10 minutes after the 1st encounter.

First time posting on the boards, so heya. Just did this Quest myself...seems like the hardest part is finding people to go. Had a level 55 White Mage, level 57 Ranger, and 58 Beastmaster that we found inside help out. Purpleflash is definitely easy, but died against a train of 50 of the level 50-60 orcs. =/ Apparently they detect through scent too eh? Anyway, for anyone that doesn't get it from the other posts, KILL EVERYTHING AROUND. <_< That's all I got.
I got the Key yesterday with the help of a friend of a friend (65 RDM/PLD) and now I'm just waiting by the entrance so I can get the Orc Food.
Does anyone know what the respawn time is so I don't have to go searching for it in a higher level area?
Thanks:)
EDIT: Got it after wandering around near the entrance :)

Ok, Just did this AF yesterday and it only took me an hour or two at max, considering my friend and I, (both 50 rdm's) had the help of a very generous 60 rdm. Let me just say that this was THE EASIEST AF so far... Purpleflesh is a weakling, hehe, barely even hurt the 60 rdm. Stoneskin + haste + refresh + silence + a few enfeebling spells like slow and dia etc. and this guy was as good as dead. Had to kill him twice, since both my friend and I needed to key. He spawned again, after killing like 2 lizards, only maybe 10 mins later. And the Storage Hole? heh, its random I say, because we found one, and I let my friend get it ^^ but we walked towards the entrance and boom, another one, so I got my Orcish Dried Food, and as soon as i got it, ANOTHER storage hole spawned like right next to the one I had just got. So in my opinion its random really. Ive seen many treasure chests, and coffers, and boxes of that sort spawn next to eachother, or take like 3 hrs real time to spawn. Wonder if the day or weather has anything to do with it, its amazing how the weather and day of the week effects everything. Oh and another thing, THERE ARE INCREDIBLY TOUGHS IN DAVOI FOR LVL 50'S hehe, use deo and invis, dont think orcs have ears though.... not sure, anyways hope this helps ^^
Did this yesterday with 2 other Rdm's lvl 44 and 41 and a 61 Thf in my ls. Took the waterways to get to him and killed him easily. Had to kill him three times and it only took him about 5 minutes to respawn each time. We killed other Orcs in the area before killing him to build up tp and clear of aggro. A couple days before I tried it with a higher lvl whm and drk and we didn't go the water route which turned out fatal after loosing invis in the middle of a camp. On the way there also I saw a guy get killed by a big orc and I noticed it his name was Poisonhand something. I checked sure enough strenth impossible to gauge. My high lvl friends were behind me a ways but this thin only had a sliver of HP left from the dead guy there fighting him. I engaged and didn't hurt it before it killed me. The Drk caught up and massacred him and only got a 5K drop.
THe Storage Hole by the way wasn't easy. I didn't want to go deep and die some more so I stayed by the front and logged in every hour or so. While I was on once I caught one of the RDM's on that I did this with and he was deeper in searching for the hole. He found it and not a minute later it respawned by the front. Now I just need to bet back to level 45 that I started this at.
