I got the quest and came looking for the 4 sw door, took me a bit cause I dont farm or run around this place and I refuse to use or obtain maps. Kinda known for how I can memorize areas. Any how found what I figured was the pool I needed, got into center and first scavenge pop. Note I had been running around here least 40 min looking for 4 sw door >.>. lucky I guess. GL to all. next thf af
P.S. If no map to this place, get center best you can and circle the cam, this way you can tell better if center or not by using edges of pool while cam is rotating.
Fire and Brimstone - RNG AF2
|
SummaryGo to Mhaura and meet Koh Lenbalalako. It is said that she knows the whereabouts of the sinner's daughter. WalkthroughNote: You must have completed Sin Hunting - RNG AF1 to get this quest. Talk to Perih Vashai at K-7 in Windurst Woods for a cutscene. Next, head to Mhaura and talk to Koh Lenbalalako at F-9 in the Blacksmith's Guild. You will receive another cutscene. Next, head to the Eldieme Necropolis. Upon entering, you get another cutscene in which the Mithra Tracker wants you to go ahead of her and "clear the way" to the tombstone (southernmost G-9 of 4 chambers in the Eldieme Necropolis area accessible from I-10 in Batallia Downs.) Find the tombstone and examine it for another cutscene. Return to Windurst and talk again with Perih Vashai for another cutscene. Next, head to Castle Oztroja. Make your way past the large doorway controlled by the four switches. Proceed through the tunnel and up the stairs until you reach the large room with the fountain. Run into the pool around the fountain. When all yagudos have turned away, use scavange and camouflage, then run back out into the hallway. Repeat this until you receive the item Old Earring. Return to Perih Vashai in Windurst. After the final cutscene, you will receive your Hunter's Beret. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the ranger artifact gear quest series. The rest of the quest series includes:

Obviously if you already have a level 75 job this is ****-*** easy. Anyway, after 5 unsuccessful scavenges I too decided to log out in the hallway. After coming back in I stood dead center in the pool on the map, scavenged, and got the earring. After hearing about so many people getting it on their first try after logging out and back in, I'm convinced that something definitely gets reset by doing so. I say try scavenging 5 times, and if it doesn't work, try the log out/in trick.
Is it remotely possible that scavenge is like so many other skills in ffxi? The more you do it the better you are at it and the more likely you are to succeed? Like the hidden lvling with digging and so on? Just a thought here but perhaps the rate of success for scavenge increases with the more you use it. Giving you an easier time with this quest. Didn't see anyone else mention this so I'm probably way off. The other elements could have to do with the day and moon phase. Also big in ffxi. Just some stray, random thoughts after reading all these posts.
Took me 7 tries as blm/rng. Didn't get it the first 6 times, read the stuff here. So what the hell, relogged and stood in center(according to map NOT visual center) and got it next try. I say relog and do the map center thing, I mean you got 5 mins to wait why not try?
Just finished this quest not too long ago. The Oztroja Part is easily soloable, just sub rdm or whm. Another thing that helps is to macro scavenge and camouflage. This helps with the doors
and actually doing the scavenging. Should look like this:
/ja "Scavenge"
/wait 1
/ja "Camouflage"
I did it and I was only visible for 1 sec and I never got agro'd. One thing I was told that I have yet to see someone mention on this forum is that before you go to oztroja you need to go back to Mhaura and talk to the mithra in the blsmith shop again. She doesnt say anything important but after I did this I got the earring on first try.
So for those of you who havent gotten it yet try that.

Just did this, brought 2 friends, lvl 70mnk and lvl 73drk. We cleared the whole room and it took about 14-17 scavenges before I actually got the earring. Good luck to everyone else.
This thing drove me mad, and it "only" took 5 scavenges. 3 scavenges, no luck, log out then in. Next Scavenge, nothing. 5th Scavenge.. run into pool, Invis starts to wear. Run out. Re-cast. Back in... Whups, there goes sneak, back out. Cast... Ok, go in.... Yagudo, look away! No! Away! Not IN THE DAMN POOL WITH ME!..
Ugh, sneak wearing. Re-cast, I guess. Try again... Nope, one of them starts to wear. Outta MP... Rest. Try again, about 4 tries, nope, still no chance to scavenge... Rest again...
FINALLY! Got a chance to scavenge, and got the earring. Should bloody think so -.-; If it takes this long to scavenge an earring, I'm dreading getting Coffer keys!
Edit: Hah! Nevermind! I got a coffer key for the nest in an EXP party (shortly after some other RNG got the coffer that was right next to us... D'oh!) Then the coffer re-spawned next to us (again)! For my Braccae :)

I keep reading these posts about peopel taking hours upon hours to get this earring. I went in as 75sam/rng(thats right rng SUB). Stood in the pool (no aggro from leeches or yags btw) and zoomed in my camera. Didn't pay any attention to how off center my character looked. I just made sure my red marker on the map was dead center. Used scavenge. Old Earring first try. So my advice, try that. If it doesn't work, than I just got hella lucky.

Woot! Just did it, i was prepped to sit there for a couple hours >.> ... but I got mine on my
First Try. Woot!
First Try. Woot!
I did this with my first scavenge.
I only had to Sneak because some high level had just been in and ravaged the Yagudo population in there, and I went to the dead centre of the pool and scavenged and got it first time.
If anyone is having trouble with this, my top tip is go dead centre of the pool. I'm pretty sure you'll get it. All other RNG I've spoken to about this who got it first time said they were dead centre too.

I've been told by a couple of people that Scavenge has a secret level, that goes up the more you use it. I'm not sure if it's true or not but maybe this affects how many attempts it takes to get the scavenging part of the quest done?
I'm heading to Castle Oztroja later today to try this. Not looking forward to finding it with the directions given above, so if anyone can give me any more specific directions, that someone who has only ever been in Castle Oztroja for the magicite could follow, it'd be much appreciated ^^

I haven't managed to scavenge up a single item yet. not one. nothing. zero. nadda... I hate you people that get it first try! ok ok...I don't, but I'm tempted to...
"Ok, I got the earring. If you are having trouble, log-out or zone. I tried it and it worked. And every post I read where someone does this, they get the earring 1 or 2 scavenges later. Hope this helps. Good Luck!"
Didn't work for me... 0/10 :/
[Edit]
I am at dead center too... at least looks like it on the max zoom of the /map. Then I started to run around the pool doing scavage and got things like Yagudo fletchings and fire sand. Did anyone else have similar experience?

Got my ring on 4th try. I tried 3 times and then relogged. First try when I came back brought up the earring (*'-')b.
I was facing south too, which probably doesn't have anything to do with scavenge but hey? The more you know. ;)

omg... I've been doing this quest for 5 days... 4 deaths... 4 stacks of silent oils... and I'm 0/62 on svavenge... I've double checked making sure I've done everything right and I have... got all the cut scenes, she told me to go to castle Oztroja... still I'm not getting it... I've zoned and done it... logged out then back in... done it with no sneak and invis and still nothing... I try to scavenge in the very center everytime but still nothing... SE hates me and I hate them with a passion.
ok, got earring on try number 64... I still hate SE. Guess it just takes a ton of patience

For everyone who posts you can do this with ranger sub. It lowers the rate! It can be done, but will take many more tries. I camped at the pond for 3hrs with no luck and narrowely escaped death. I went originally with my 62pld/whm (thank god for blink and instant warp!) Went back with 2 LS members (still pld/whm) another 2hrs no luck. Teleported to mea (thank whm) switched to my then 53rng/nin. BAM! 1st Scavenge! So either the amount of time or havin Ranger main in my experience is my experience. I think it's ranger main that did it. Kinda like Steal as thf main or thf sub. which is better?
Scavenge with PLD/WHM?
