Description

Laisrean asks you to fetch an item for him in Sea Serpent Grotto. Make sure you have your Silver beastcoin, then enter the Sea Serpent Grotto from Yhutanga Jungle. Take every left you come to. Eventually you will get to an Ornamented Door. That means you're going the right way. Take a left when you get to the door. Continue down this path and take the next left you find. You will arrive at a room with a large puddle and a waterfall. Continue moving straight until you find an unmarked door. Examine this door until you get the message, "You see some silver shavings near the indent on this wall." Trade your silver beastcoin to open the door.

You will be greeted by some pugils when you open the door. Move forward without falling off of any ledges. When you arrive in the room at (H-8), hop off the ledge. Move through this path. You will get to a room identical to the one you just fell from. Keep going forward and you will arrive at the unmarked door to the treasure room. Examine the ??? to recieve the Sea Serpent Statue. Return to Laisrean with the item after the cutscene.

I've been farming Yag necklaces lately, because I want this quest. (Just unlocked NIN last night ^^d) I've turned in 64 to... The Mithra in windurst, don't remember the name. I was thinking about 200 necklaces would do it. Is that right?

Rice Ball price is worthless
# May 13 2005 at 2:16 AM Rating: Excellent
I did the Boyahda Moss quest enough times to get the teleport scrolls. I don't remember how many times, but it was at least 10-12. I then did Mihgo's Amigo 12 times. I checked my rice ball price next time I was in Jueno and it was 169. I figured I had a long way to go, so I repeated Mihgo's Amigo another 30+ times. I returned to Jueno and was quite irritated to find that the rice ball price had only dropped to 160. I went to Norg anyway, armed with 10 Rusty Subligars and 10 Rusty Leggings. When I got there, Keal gave me the Tonko: Ichi quest right away. My fame was "Wait I remeber you was it Mih... no Cumnan". I did both the rusty quests and my fame didn't change. I did the Tonko: Ichi quest and my fame changed to "Heard your name lots..". I got this quest with no further work. I'm not sure if I could have gotten initially, as I planned on getting all the scrolls anyway. I am on the Phoenix server btw. Rank 3 Windy.

Selbina Quests - Norg Fame Irrelevant??

I think the Norg Fame/Selbina's Boyahda Moss Quest are Irrelevant because i did the Moss Quest with about 12-14 Stacks(if not more) and still only had to do the Zinc Ore quest in bastok about 25-30 times to get enough fame to do Utsusemi and Tonko, my Rice Ball Price is 156 and i got both quests... i just wish i didnt die 6 times with my 20RDM lol.... i used it to save money instead of buying Silent Oils... other than sneak wearing too fast and every thing killing me with 1-2 hits this was an easy quest BIG THANKS to Jamesxi and Theya for helping, u guys rock!!

Just doing the necklaces takes more than 200 to get utsusemi even with doing tonko first. Don't know the exact number but I was always told 200 is the key. I did this long ago on my main and need them now to lvl nin. turned in exactly 200 did tonko and nothing .
My Experience
# Apr 25 2005 at 3:57 AM Rating: Default
Double posted it to make it easyer to find my guide.

Here is my humble experience about getting Utsusemi: Ichi.

First of as you know you need level 4 fame, to do the Utsusemi: Ichi quest.

Fame is the killer (downtime) if you don’t have it you need to do some "hard work" to get it.

You properly already know about how to raise fame in Norg, if not check out this link.

http://ffxi.cannotlinkto/fame.php

Now that you know that you can do this in 2 ways.

Yagudo Necklace you can buy or farm, I did both things.

Xinz ore is the same thing, Zinc ore drops by worms and can be mined to.

My experience about how many used for level 4 fame.

41x4 trades of Yagudo Necklaces = 164

8x4+1 trades of Zinc Ore = 33

NB: The +1 is the one to do the first quest in Bastok to be able to trade in 4 later.

That will be total number of 197 Yag + Ore and now I got level 4 fame I was trilled but no one shared my excitements with me ;o(

Oh well life goes on, he he.

Now I was ready to do the quest for Tonko: Ichi. (require level 3 Norg fame) and Utsisemi: Ichi.

I found this guide* before I did the whole raise fame thing and it seemed easy to do the quest. (I have heard that it is wary hard to do Utsusemi quest, well buhu it was easy.

* This guide: http://www.zebraflood.com/ninja/ninjutsu.html

Printed it out with map and hole stuff and did the Tonko quest, took me 3 minutes as white mage 47 and did the Utsusemi quest after that, took me about 30 min to do. (Had a little trouble to find the right door for silver beastcoin.

NB: In the room there are 3 doors.

1, which is opened by silver beastcoin (the one for Utsusemi quest.
1, which is opened by gold beast coin (don’t know much about that)
1, which is opened by mytheril beastcoin (don’t know much about that either)

White mage is not required you can also do it with any level you have with silent oil (use a unlevelled job so you wont loose experience point)

Well that is my info on these quests; with the links and stuff you can do the same thing. I hope it helps out :o)


Today is my 3rd day as ninja.

Tips about that:

If you have Ranger job then sub it for the first 1-10 or 1-12 levels and buy a good bow. That will make you levelling wary fast because of the damage your bow and arrows can do. I also used HP Regen food, which rocks and gives absolutely no downtime. Of course it cost but if you want to level fast do as I did. Also use a sword since Katana sucks at low level; hope that they will get better later on.


Have fun, and be a nice player and help your fellow players to.
um...

um, i first did this quest about 2 weeks ago, i used the guide posted above, only thing wrong was mythril coin. but I knew you needed a silver coin already because I do what I like to call "smart" and ask people who have done it what, if any items do you need to do this quest.

the directions got me there just fine.....

Hrrm. Can someone tell me what quests and how many items I need to trade for Fame? And I dont understand this Rice Ball thing. Sorry if I sound like a stunned noob. Just lost:P
RE: Fame
# Apr 25 2005 at 12:59 PM Rating: Decent
Thanks:) I got enough fame for Tonko but not Utsusemi. But I was told once I do Tonko I'll be able to get Utsusemi. All I did was trade about 120 Necklaces and 30-40 zinc ores. I grew tired of farming the necklaces. Now I'm just waiting for Rank 6 or someone to help me do it ha. I lack a guide/printer/map so I'm outta luck. Oh well, gives me time to farm and make some gil.
RE: Fame
# Apr 23 2005 at 5:46 PM Rating: Decent
first, i traded 150-200 yagudo necklaces to the cat burglar in Windurst. then, i went to Lower Jeuno and checked the price of rice balls from an NPC immediately inside the building near the 1st AH window coming from MH. i had been told to wait until the price was set at 155 or less before tyring to get ichi quest. then, i went to Norg and completed the rusty subligar quest and rusty legging quest, which were easy 'cause i just bought em all off of AH. after all that i had enough fame for the quest.

hope this helps and g'luck!

I always keep hearing that you need to turn in 120 zinc ores/necklaces to specific npcs to activate this quest. It seems as though you need to finish about 30 tenshodo quests. I did 35-40ish number of quests (can't remember, been a long time >.<) to get my scroll as well as the other ninjitsu spells.
Solo
# Apr 20 2005 at 12:16 AM Rating: Decent
I helped my friend Lennei the other day w/ Utsusemi quest... he already had fame. I used the tutorial on this website http://www.zebraflood.com/ninja/ninjutsu.html ... 21k, 1300 xp loss, and 3 hours later it was done! (All the xp loss was from gettin to Norg) I used about 16 silent oils, this was because recasting oils w/ 2 people is not easy. Although if i was to do quest solo it could be done in 30 min from Norg, and only about 4-6 oils.

P.S. the tutorial is very well written, i had no problems with directions.

Whoever said that the rice ball prices are unreliable is completely correct. After doing many yag necklace runs (didn't count, sorry), joining the Tenshodo, unlocking ninja, and starting (but not completing) the samurai flag quest, my rice ball price was at 158. I decided to head to Norg anyway. To my surprise, I activated all of the NIN scroll quests (Tonko, Utsusemi, Kurayami, Hojo, and Dokumori) except Jubaku from Shivivi. The rice balls may give you a hint about how much fame you have, but the bestway to see if you can get Utsusemi is to make a trip to Norg and talk to Laisrean directly.


Mysterytour's guide (fully accurate, I followed it last night)
Quote:
Entering Sea Serpent Grotto from Yuhtunga Jungle, instead of keep turning right to go to Norg, just keep turning left until you reach N-14 on the map. At N-14, there's a hidden door, keep examine the door until the message change to "You see something silver glittering around the indentation." After you see this message, trade a Silver Beastcoin to the door to open it. After passing the door, go north along the right wall until you reach H-8. Drop down to the lower levels and keep going north along the right way wall -- you'll eventually reach the Sahagins' storage area. Examine the ??? at H-3 in the storage area to initiate a cut-scene and receive the key item: "Sea serpent statue". Go back to Norg and talk to Laisrean to finish the quest.



We all know that the guide at the top is wrong, but has anyone e-mailed allakhazam about it to officially request a change? Simply posting down here "guide's wrong, change it" probably won't do any good to get it fixed.


Edited to add a link to the guide I quoted.

Fame guide
# Apr 14 2005 at 7:47 PM Rating: Decent
i turned in 100 necklaces in windy and decided to check my fame where it should be checked (in norg) and i had moderate fame...but not enough to get the quest...did all 4 NIN scroll quests available and got the quest.

The only accurate place to check your Norg fame is in Norg. In area H-8 of Norg, there is an NPC named Vaultimand that will tell you your fame. If he says "Hear yer name lots 'round these parts lately" then u have enough fame for the quest.
Ummm...
# Apr 14 2005 at 8:57 AM Rating: Default
Well... first off, I wanna say that no one should rely on the famous "rice ball price" to gauge their fame in Norg. The Neptune's Spire shop is considered a guild (much like Silver Owl in Port Bastok and all the other shop keeps down in the Tenshodo Headquarters in Lower Jeuno), and therefore rice ball prices fluctuate depending on how many were bought the previous Vana'diel day. So using your rice balls to gauge your fame isn't very reliable.

I know this because I'm trying to get this quest and I've traded I don't know how many zinc ores to Talib, plus I've done the Tonko: Ichi and Dokumori: Ichi quests, gotten the Samurai advanced job as well as done several other things that I can't remember at the moment (I apollogize, I'm still half-asleep) and I have yet to recieve the go-ahead on this quest.

Stupid Norg Pirates.... bleh.

140 necklaces
# Apr 14 2005 at 5:28 AM Rating: Decent
Hey all, turned in 140 necklaces (painstakingly i might add) and went to Jeuno to Neptunes Spires. Checked price of rice balls and it said 158. After about 5 minutes of yelling, swearing, and throwing my ps2 controller around (have tried this mission many times, but no success to get it) i decided that since i was levelling Samurai as well, might as well go to Norg and buy new gear. Airship, choco'd to norg, bought level 12 sam sword, and decided to talk to the quest npc. To my shock, i got the quest. My strategy guide by Brady games states N-12 for the room. I wandered around lost in the grotto for a bit (47blm/23whm so i was sneaked) and stumbled upon the room. Got the statue, cutscene, then a quick warp back to Norg. My suggestion to anyone wanting to do this quest or any others that do not require a NM....level whm to at least 15 for sub, or 20 without sub....sneak helps for this quest alot...and level to 25 for other quests (invis/sneak)...glad i actually took time to lvl whm.

BTW: Strategy guide was very very very wrong...not the first time tho...

Don't waste your time with the directions by Lienna.

My Rice ball price was 153 (thats all I'm going to say about the fame portion)

Utsusemi: Ichi Quest
"The Sahagin's Stash"
Quest starter = Laisrean in Norg at (H-8)

(This assumes you already have the quest active, this is just how to find your way thru Sea Serpent Grotto.)
(This also assumes the typical knowledge of how to get to Norg from Kazham.)

Everything in Sea Serpent Grotto aggros to sound. Keep sneak up at all times, and if you need to rest for mp, invis yourself as well, as things aggro to healing if you don't.


---Directions---
Enter the Grotto from Yuhtunga Jungle.

Stay to the left side, follow the left wall.

You will go down steps at K-7 (you can't go back up them)

Stay to left and go into the first tunnel on you left.

You'll be facing a Ornamented door located at J-10, take a left at it and countinue on a downward slope.

Stay to your left, go into the first tunnel.
Now down slope again, switch to following the right side.

You will go past some waterfalls, and find the silver beastman coin door at N-14.

Go thru door with your silver beastman coin (talk to it about 6 times then trade the coin to it, you don't lose the coin.)

Follow the right wall, skip the tunnel that heads to the right (it just dead ends)

Coninute following the right wall, fall down the cliff at H-8 and following the right wall till the door at H-5

There is a Sea Bronze inside, so keep sneak up.
(IT to me at lvl 40)
Tab around and find the ??? talk to it, and go thru the cutscene.

A Treasure chest also spawns in the back of this room (I wish I had a key, I could have gotten a map).
There is also a NPC Sahagin named 'Hurr the Betrayer' in the back of this same room.

Then I suggest warping back out (home point in Norg)

If you can't warp out... (I think these directions are correct I didn't double check exactly (I used them), if you find any errors I will fix it, or go back and check for myself)

From the door to exit the room, follow the right wall, fall down the cliff at G-5 (also shows up as M-10 because its on the other map)
Go directly south from the drop. Then at M 12, begin following the right wall.
Continue until you reach the Ornamental Door again.
Go west here, and then follow the left wall till you go down steps again.
After the steps go directly North to the door leading to Norg.


By the way.. I died 3 times on this, all from sneak not taking because I cast it too soon for it to stick, "no effect " >.< so take care to avoid that. So it was worth about 2100 Exp to get a 300K scroll (and making a good guide on this site.)

For Maps to help you visulize , I suggest

http://www.zebraflood.com/ninja/ninjutsu.html

I don't know anything about making links work on this site, but that page is basically how I found my way, I'm just posting this guide here because Allakhazam seems a bit more visited and I wanted to clear up this quest.


Go back and talk to Laisrean, and congratulations you have Utsusemi : Ichi

If this was helpful, rate up I suppose. ^^
--- I edited this for few minor detail descriptions to clear up directions. (I repeated myself accidentally)

Quests for fame:
- Ninja Flag
- Samurai Flag
- Tenshodo Membership (Lower Jueno - Silver Owl)
- 120 Zinc Ores (Port Bastok - Talib)
- 10 Rusty Subligars (Norg - Heiji)
- 10 Rusty Leggings (Norg - Heizo)

Most know that this quest isn't hard, it just takes time. I completed the Tenshodo membership by purchasing an invite from the AH. Took a trip to Bastok and traded what I already had in zinc ores. To acquire the remaining ores I threw out a few shouts in Zeruhn Mines, checked random bazaars, and used the AH. Took less time and money than I had thought it would. Before heading out to Norg I purchased 10 Rusty Subligars and 10 Rusty Leggings from the AH. Upon arrival I completed the rusty quests and received both scroll quests without question.

Note: Not once did I check the rice ball prices in Jueno so I wouldn't be able to say what they were before the quests were acquired.

I tried this quest after printing this guide. I tried for hours trying to figure it out, wasting 80k on silent oils, and prism powders + Tele-Yhoat. I couldn't check back because I didn't have computer access at the time, so I kept trying. 80k was all I had at the time, so I ended up broke AND without utsusemi because if this false guide. Thanks.

This is what I did:
Completed the Zinc Ore Quest one time.
Did the Necklace Quest 49 times (196 Necklaces)
Price of Rice Ball in Jeuno was 155 Gil, Fame Level 4, but I couldn't get Utsusemi Quest.
Did the Necklace Quest 7 more times (224 Necklaces in total), Fame Level 5 - and got the quest.

I farmed with RNG35/THF16, pretty fast, got 28 Necklaces in 1 hour including walking back. And yes, Giddeus was kinda packed with Necklace-Farmers.
