Mission Orders

Visit the faraway nations of Bastok and Federation of Windurst and receive official recognition as an adventurer.

Walkthrough

The guard sends you to talk to Halver in Northern San d'Oria. He needs you to help out at Bastok and Federation of Windurst embassies. You can do this in any order.

Bastok

If you chose to start in Bastok, go speak with Pius in the office of the President. If you have done Federation of Windurst first, you will need to speak to the San d'Orian Consulate Savae E Paleade before going to see Pius.

You will be sent to Palborough Mines to get some Mythril Sand. First, check the Auction House to see if there are any Mine Gravel for sale. If so, buy it. If not, talk to Grohm in Metalworks and he will give you three Pickaxes. Just in case, you should buy some extras. They are sold by Boytz in Bastok Mines or at the Auction House.

Note: You must talk to Grohm to get a cut scene to be able to complete this mission.

In Palborough Mines at (F-7, first floor), you will find the Mythril Seam. Use the Pickaxe on the Mythril Seam until you get a Mine Gravel. (obviously you can skip this if you bought the gravel)

Once you get the gravel, find the Refiner on the third floor at (I-7). Trade the Mine Gravel to the Refiner and the machine will begin to work. Head to the machine on the second floor and pull the lever. You should receive an oz. of Mythril Sand. You can take a shortcut back to Bastok by jumping into the boat on the third floor.

Trade the Mythril Sand to Savae E Paleade.

Next, it's off to Federation of Windurst!

Next head to the ambassador in Federation of Windurst. He sends you to a tower in Windurst Walls to get a key. Zone into Heaven's Tower and speak to Kupipi to get the key and head off to Giddeus. At this point, you will need a full group. You can buy a map of Giddeus in Windurst Woods.

When you get to Giddeus you want to go to a burning circle located at G-12 in the southwest corner. Get ready for battle. Head into the circle and a dragon will appear. You need to defeat the dragon. After you do it, report back to the ambassador and then back to the guard and you gain rank 3 and 3,000 Gil.

Federation of Windurst

If Federation of Windurst is first, then you need to take a shield offering to Uu Zhoumo, the Yagudo NPC guarding the treasure room in the lowest part of Giddeus, then you have to fight Zhuu Buxu the Silent and retrieve 2 Parana Shields and trade them to the San d'Orian consulate. They tell you to go to Bastok next where you will get tossed around to different people until you are told to go into the mines. Go with a party to the 3rd floor and head towards the burnt spot on the map, and you will zone into the next part where you will find the burning circle. Then kill the Black Dragon and see the cutscene, head back to the San d'Orian consul in Federation of Windurst, they will complete you for their part and you just need to head on home to complete the mission.

Note that this mission is given in all three kingdoms, so you can group with anyone and still complete it.

Update Notes

As of February 14th, 2011, there is no longer a level cap restriction on the mission battlefield.

Dont have to be 25 really. Easiest way to do this is bring a monk with you. Thats it lol. Have the monk voke the dragon, then attack kill the eye. 2hr (Hundred Fists) the dragon. Keep the monk alive. Probably wont need extra mp, but if you want to be extra careful buy a Yagudo Drink (1.8-2k gil) Good Luck!

You must talk with Grohm
# Jul 03 2008 at 8:04 PM Rating: Decent
**If you take BASTOK route first** verified that you have to talk to grohm regardless of whether you buy the gravel or mine it!

# Jun 30 2008 at 5:19 PM Rating: Decent

Pius IS NOT in the President's Office itself. When you go inside the building, there are 3 doors. Pius is in the one that's on the RIGHT.

If anybody on Leviathan is doing this let me know. Name is same. 24WAR/12MNK
Thanks for not telling everyone...

Whoever made this Walkthrough forgot one thing

Where they say "Head to Windurst Walls to get a key"

SHOULD SAY "Head to Windurst Walls, then enter Heavens Tower. From there you want to talk to Kupipi (SP?) to obtain the "Dark Key" Key Item which is needed to activate the Burning Circle to fight the dragon.

But apparently that's too much correct information.

For those who would like to do this mission on the HADES server.

I was going to do this mission January 17th, but not enough people contacted me. Please reply to this post if you want to do this mission and we will go when enough people are participating.

This is ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CHOSE TO DO THE WINDURST PART FIRST.

I have confirmed that these people will also be participating:

-Invincible (me) as 25 BLM/RDM
-Snowgalka as 25 WAR/MNK
-Demoncupid as 25 RDM/WHM

If you are interested in signing up for the mission on the Hades server, just leave a response to this post, and I will contact you on wednesday or thursday, when I play. You should be lv. 20-25 (mission caps at 25). We will also have to allocate a bit of time to do the windurst part for those who need that done. Try to get that done ahead of time if possible. Thanks!

Pius
# Jan 08 2008 at 11:25 PM Rating: Decent
Hi i'm trying to start this mission, so i went to bastok first and this guide it says to talk to pius in the presidents office, but when i find him he is not in the presidents office at all and when i try to talk to him he tells me he is busy and to go away. So is there something i have to do before talking to him? or does this guide suck and i need to talk to someone else?

When you go to Windurst first, you have to go to Bastock after and kill a dragon... How many people are required to kill the dragon??

Edited, Jan 6th 2008 5:42pm by InvincibleShield

BTW anyone want to do this quest on the Hades server? I chose to do the Windurst one first and I am already in Windurst. Just waiting for my buddy to get to level 20 or so, which could take a week or two. Send me a tell if you see me online. My username is invincible.
