Acting In Good Faith

SummaryGantineux wants you to help him in his study of white magic. Go to the Eldieme Necropolis and offer up "spirit incense" at the dimly flickering candle to try and appease the spirits of the dead. WalkthroughSpeak to Gantineux to begin the quest. If your fame is not at least level 4 (check with Zabirego-Hajigo in Timbre Timbers Tavern), then you will not receive this quest. Gantineux wants you to help him in his study of white magic. He will give you the key item: Spirit Incense. You will need to head to the Eldieme Necropolis. There are many entrances to the Eldieme Necropolis from Batallia Downs, but only 4 of them potentially lead to the ??? you need. One requires you to travel through the Ranguemont Pass and Beaucedine Glacier to get to the (F-5) entrance located on the upper section of Batallia Downs. The three other entrances are located at (G-7), (H-7), and (I-6). Cast Sneak on yourself or use Silent Oil to avoid the undead. Bombs detect by sight but there shouldn't be any in the correct areas anyway. Head in until you see little candle stands in the tunnels. Tab around until you find the ???. It randomly spawns at one of the entrances and disappears after someone attempts to light the incense. If you do not find the ??? simply try another location. Once you try to light it, the incense emits a putrid odor and you will be told the attempt has failed. This is normal. Go back to Gantineux and he will tell you he doesn't have anything for you but that if you speak to Eperdur in San d'Oria, he may have something for you. He is located in the chapel in Northern San d'Oria and will give you the Scroll: Teleport-Mea. SpoilersOffer & AcceptanceGantineux: I am a friar of the San d'Oria Cathedral, come to Windurst as a part of a pilgrimage. ??? MessageThis flame seems to be burning a little brighter than the others. ReturnGantineux: Ah, you're back! And the result? Oh, I see... I was so sure it would work... FinaleEperdur: You saw Gantineux? Tell me, how does he fare? What is that? He's studying magic, you say?

Words you never want to see flashing across the screen in places like that:
"The effect of Sneak is about to wear off."
"The effect of Sneak is about to wear off."
*sigh* At least it was at the M-6 Necropolis spawnpoint; first place I looked. And I have Teleport-Mea anyway so I just cut out the middleman and used that on my way out. I was really only doing this one to pay off the amount I paid for the scroll at the Jeuno AH about five levels ago.
Side note: 50k on Asura.
1) Gantineux asks you to burn the incense over a "dimmly flickering" candle but when you find the "???" in Eldieme Necropolis it will say the candle is burning brighter than the others. It will then ask you if you want to use the incense. Even though the description doens't match, it IS the right candle (I left it and explored the rest of the necropolis to find a dimmly burning candle. I didn't find anything else so I came back and burned the incense over the bright candle. Everything worked out.)
2) The description at the top of the page says the incense will fail to burn. Not quite right. It burns but it (apparently) smells terrible. You're told you've failed. Go back to Gantineux and he'll give you the letter you need to finish the quest.
little things, but hopefully it'll save you a little uncertainty.
any it only spawns at one location at a time. if you check all three in battilia and dont see it, its going to be the one in beaucidine. so dont just come back later as people said it will only spawn elsewhere if some one touches it at beaucidine. so if you check all three and it dont show check the beacidine. thats what i did and got it. it is a easy quest just a tiny bit time consuming if you need help im on the bismark server /tell Brotz

i think Blaze Spikes and Drain and warp quests all have lvl requirements now

You're an idiot....plain and simple. >.>
And ppl wouldn't be doing this quest over and over if it was repeatable, because the overabundance of these scrolls would drive the price to less than 10k a piece. Making the quest for gil worthless, unless you had absolutely nothing else to do.

And surprise this time the ??? was there. So if it isn't there the first time you check, make sure you wait a little bit and check it again before trying the other ones. ^-^
It's hard to recommend where to check first, but if you don't find it in the first three areas in the downs, then it will be in the final entrance from Beaucadine Glacier --> Batillia Downs entrance.

sure enough, it was there, and i could have saved myself a lot of time by starting in beaucedine glacier entrance.
(of course the entrance is actually in battalia downs, but i'm referring to it as beaucedine because you have to go through beaucedine to get to it.)
the moral of the story, i think, is that although it can spawn at 4 places, it will often be sitting there in the one that's hardest to get to, because not many people are running past that one. If i were taking someone to get this quest, now i think i would start in beaucedine, and if it's not there, just jump down the cliff to the other 3 entrances to eldieme.
I would certainly suggest this strategy to everybody. It's a little out-of-the-way, but well worth the effort. Spared me so much aggrevation and frustration.

still looking for mine, though...no ??? for me any of the entrances yet.
Quest was likewise a joke. Strolled into eldieme, threw up sneak, walked straight ahead for about 30 seconds, hit the ???, and warped out. Airshipped back to jeuno, went to sandy, and voila - 4 new tele scrolls =)
Good luck everyone!
I did this on mule, so i found the ??? with my 74pld and then took mule right too it, much cheaper then using oils to have mule run around.

To be clear, the ??? is on the candle and not next to it. If your pressing on a ??? from the entrance at G-8 it's not working cause its for the NPC start quest
