Summary

The star tree saplings at the farm in the basement of Heavens Tower aren't growing very well. Doctor Shantotto and co. have ordered an investigation to try and solve the problem. Help them by bringing back a glowstone from the crevasse of Xarcabard.

Walkthrough

Once your black mage is level 40, go to Windurst Walls and enter Heaven's Tower. Walk down the stairs to the basement of the giant tree and speak with the NPC Chumimi. You will receive a cutscene, after which Shantotto will ask you to toss a Faded Crystal into the gorge in Xarcabard. She asks you to bring back a Glowstone.

First, you must obtain a Faded Crystal. To do this, get one of any type of crystal and head to any of the teleport crags. Trade your crystal to the crag to receive your Faded Crystal.

Next, head to Xarcabard. You can get there either by teleporting (if you have the teleport crystal), or by traveling through Ranguemont Pass and Beaucedine Glacier. Also make sure you have silent oils or prism powders, or that you can cast sneak or invisible.

Once in Xarcabard, head due west until you see lights shooting out from a steep hillside at E-8. There are two "???" here, and the one that's inside the gorge surrounded by the lights is the one you want. You do not want the one that's on a cliff with the torch.

Try to clear out the surrounding demons. Trade the faded crystal to the "???" and a Chaos Elemental will appear. It is a Light Elemental based NM, so most Black Magic spells will inflict extreme damage to it. If you must run away, the elemental will eventually go back into the gorge and you will need another faded crystal to call upon it again.

Once the fight is over the monster will drop a Glowstone. Get the glowstone then go back to Windurst Walls. Enter Heaven's Tower and approach Chumimi again. Trade the glowstone to Chumimi to receive your Casting Wand.

You need to have the one job high enough to get teh quest. Once you get the quest you can play any job you want to get the item needed. This is one of the reason's it is so easy for someone that is level 60+ already to get another job up there.

Bastok Mission 2-1 is travle to the Dem craig and trade a crystal to the telepoint, giving you a Faded Crystal, which you then take to Cid and finish the mission. The first part is the same for both, getting the Faded Crystal.

The only other quests that are in any way related to this one are the other BLM AF's, and the quest to unlock the Toranami Canal enterance in Windurst Walls. I don't think there is any way that Bastok is related..

how do you obtain the Faded crystal(as its called in the game)? i tryed looking for it in AH but couldnt find it....and what lvl could you do this solo or with a party or even an alliance
RE: ok the faded crystal

Trade any crystal to any Warp Crystal at the crags. Preferably the Earth Crystals that are the least valuable and doing it in the Vahlz Warp Crystal would prevent you from hauling it around.

I know you get a cast wand, but what does it do?

Dmg. 12 MP+20

The most worst Piece of crap for a Taru BLM. This is MILDY helpful for Galka and Elvaan BLM's due to their lack of MP, but INT+ may actually save more MP than this will give you because you will be resisted less, thus nuke less.

Agreed. I'll grab this to say I did then undoubtedly store it in mog forever. :(

Maybe in 2 or 3 expansions they'll give us a quest to upgrade this crap to something usable. Mid 40s, most damage spells cost around 70 mp to cast each (blizz II = 77 for example = lvl 42). I'm not talking about the big stuff either, just your standard non-hate pulling spells. What would I do with 20mp? On a base approaching 600 mp that's irrelevant. I have absolutely nothing macro'd which takes less than 20 mp to cast. I'm not giving up a +int wand for that.
