The Fanged One (Ranger Flag Quest)  

I think I'll go visit the Old Tiger as my dark knight, just for that Grim Reaper effect....

easy job to get flagged it Chocobo'd there and went right into the cave hopped off clicked bones watched it die and clicked bones and used scroll of warp to get out. too forever for it to die by itself lol. maybe 3-5 min for me but it died i was sneaked and invis at level 30 whm but i dont think it agros.

I just did this quest with my warrior lv 34. Took me 15 min. to get there. Just bring a instant warp scroll and you will be fine

This was just by far the easiest extra job to get, I think the basic jobs are harder, I probably spent more time figuring out what I wanted my main job to be when I first started FFXI then I did getting this job.

I set my HP in Jeuno, took airship to Windy(had my Blm subbed for warp), flagged it. Warped back to Jeuno, grabbed a choco, went to the cave. Waited the five mins or so to let the Tiger die, got my key item. Warped back to Jeuno, took airship to Windy. Got my Ranger, and necklace, warped back to Jeuno, took airship to Basty, and got 6 levels in an hour.

So far it's an extremely fun job though, I didnt think it would be but so far it is. :)

thanks for info abut the road

I just did this quest since I was in the area for The Holy Crest (Dragoon Flag Quest). I am playing a lvl 36 thf/18 mnk. I took a choco from Jeuno & rode into the back of the cave. There were 3 sabertooths who all read easy prey to me.
Clicked on the bones in the back, watched the old guy die (took screen shots for my LS). Clicked on the bones again. Got the tooth (it's a Key Item btw). Hit flee and ran out then south for Meriphataud Mountains to continue with the Dragoon flag quest. None of the sabertooths aggroed on me. Done in less than 20min. :)

If you DO happen to be silly enough to kill the tiger... like I just did. Wait a few minutes and click the bones again and wait for it to die this time. :) You do NOT have to zone to reset the sabertooth.

This quest was so easy. Me=30War/wateva i had as sub at the time. Anywho, i grabbed choco from windy, ran through sarabuta, tahrongi canyon and metithraud mountins (sp?)then i zoned into saromague champain. so i typed in /p <pos> and kept using that everyso often to check that i was on course. i soon realised i had to go up to near the top of saromague champain then turn around to get to the cave. upon getting there, there were three tigers (remember now, choco=no aggro) so i went to the back of the cave, dismounted and clicked "Tiger Bones." the message thing came up, and so i waited. He finally came and then died in front of me. I clicked "Tiger Bones" again and BAM key item recieved: "Old Tigers tooth." Getting out wasnt even a problem for me one tiger was near entrance to cave so when he turned i ran, the other two were having a staring contest or sumthin so i kept to the left and ran past. Then i just ran all the way back to windy. (And i got a new element thingy from Mountains for smn quest). This was all about 5 mins ago and may i say it: {Ranger} {Quest} {easy prey}

this quest is VERY easy if done with a little thought. i did it as 30THF/10WAR. It took me LESS then 20 minutes

head to Perih Vashal's residence, and talk with her. you WONT get a little box asking if you accept the quest, youl automatically get it. she will ask for the "Fang of the king of the beasts".

Set your HP in windy, at the crystal in windurst woods. grab an instant warp scroll, and ask a whm nicely to give you a Teleport-Mea.

Get a chocobo at mea, and make your way through Meriphataud Mtns. (follow the path for the easiest route through). Sauromuge is in the northwest corner.

to get to the cave, keep to your right when you zone into Sauromuge from Meriphataud. eventually youl be able to go south, UP a slope, go up it and stick to the left wall now.

there is 3 little groves on the left, but the last one is where you want to go. there will be THREE tigers there, and will be rated Tough at level 30. They aggro to SIGHT. head allll the way o the back of the cave, and dismount your chocobo.

examine the bones and see "You hear the roar of a distant tiger", and the tiger will instantly pop at the entrance to the cave claimed. DO NOT KILL IT, YOU MUST WAIT FOR IT TO DIE ON ITS OWN. He will wander back and forth for about 4 minutes, then eventually make his way to the area with the bones. THIS TIGER WILL NOT AGGRO.

when he dies, examine the bones again and obtain a Fang. use that handy little instant warp scroll you brought, warp to windy, and talk to Perih Vashal again to obtain the ability to become a ranger and the Ranger's Necklace.

soloed this with rdm44 no problems (nice ***** catz). Thanks for advice

I'm having a problem with the quest and I'm hoping someone might have some insight about it.

I spoke with Perih Vashai when I was just starting ages ago and she said stuff about the ranger code and everything. Now, after level 30, I spoke to her again and she said "Have you hearrrd, adventurer? Our world is once again in an uproarrr." etc

Figuring that I already got the quest erlier, I went to the bones and touched them, and... nothing. I just says "There are many tiger bones here..."

I'm going to go back to windy and talk to perih again, and if the problem is solved I'll post and say so. Otherwise, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Just completed this as 30blm, had some trouble getting on the ledge, just went to the far left. I imagine you can right as well. Easy as pie, the sabers were all out front, no agro and a warp..

mmm pie.
