This mission is in 3 parts and there is a lot of setup required so read through carefully and head out. First depending on your nation, go to the embassy of your nation to recieve the mission, you need 3 stacks of crystal to get the rank points and then speak with the secretary. They will direct you to your ambassador and then they tell you to go visit the Archduke of Jeuno. He is in Ru'lude Gardens as well talk to the guards to let you in and then watch the cutscene. He will offer you an airship pass in exchange for your services of finding and taking the 3 Magicite the beastmen are trying to use to resurrect the Shadow Lord.
Afterwards you need a few items, the most annoying is the items for Beadeaux. Go to Aldo, in the Tenshodo Hideout in the Nepture's Spire Inn, you will need a tenshodo invite or application if you are not a member already. Trade the invite or application to the NPC minding the store in the inn. An invite can be found in the Auction House or someone else might have one, applications can be found in Bastok in the Tenshodo branch there in Port Bastok. Once you are a member Aldo is in the far back room, talk to him for a cutscene. Then go out and talk to the Tarutaru Sattal-Mansal. He says it has the two items you need to get into Beadeaux where the Magicite lies, but to get them from him you need to get him two items a Quadav Charm and Quadav Augury Shell both found from two NMs in Beadeaux.
Go out to Beadeaux with a friend who is 50+, a 55 PLD did it for me. Becareful of the linking or aggro if you are too low level up there. You will find Go'Bhu Gascon around F-6 and he drops the Augury Shell. De'Vyu Headhunter is around I-9 and he drops the Quadav Charm, generally between 2-4 of them. They spawn every 15 minutes.
If you are doing this with a party or alliance, you will need to reach the top where the grass is, to reach this part of Beadeaux you must travel through the tunnels at H-7. Once in the tunnel go right and right again to find the "Mute" silence yourself by examining and then turn around and straight out until the next right, pass the "Afflictor" and straight through following the tunnel no more turns. You will find yourself outside again and now needing to head to E-9 where there a ramp up to the grass. Mind the Quadavs if you are low levels with sneak. Once to the top you need to go to I-9 where De'Vyu Headhunter will pop. Rest up near by before engaging and clear out the nearby Quadavs to prevent links. Once you have charms for everyone head up to F-6 to Go'Bhu Gascon where he pops. Once again, rest and clean the house before fighting to prevent links. Once you are finished with that, you can fall of the ledge and leave the zone, or warp back or teleport. Considering the level of the monsters around if you do it with a party you should want people 45+ best to be 50+, alliance depending on the size can make do with whatever level as long as there plenty of 40+ members to still fight with.
Now head back to Jeuno to the Tarutaru and give him the items for the Key Items. Now head to the Auction House and buy a Coeurl Meat or kill coeurls, but the meat is generally cheap. Now head to Upper Jeuno to find Paya-Sabya down at the end of the street between the weapon and armor shops. Talk to him for another cutscene and then to over to Baudin standing outside a house and get another cutscene and give him the meat to get the Davoi Charm. Now head down to Muckvix's Junk Shop in Lower Jeuno and talk to Muckvix for another cutscene and then again to get the Yagudo Torch.
Now you are ready to start the mission, deciding where you want to go is up to you, Davoi and Beadeaux are fast ones so I will cover them first.
For Beadeaux enter and head back to those tunnels you were at, H-7 and then go and take a left at the first turn and you will zone. Run up into the area examine the place for your first Magicite.
Now run to Davoi and head to H-7 where you will find a Wall of Dark Arts and a few Orcs. This is easy with a higher level friend to open the barrier and you run through, since they will probably aggro to you when you drop your invis. There is usually only two Orcs, so if you are quick you can sneak in through without them seeing you, take little damage before zoning. Now run up and find the marker for your next Magicite.
Now Castle Oztroja is a lot longer path up and more dangerous, if you are still doing this with the alliance, or thinking about it I would suggest not to. Unless you plan on fighting your way up, because it a long way to go and you will probably get aggro'd or slowed down a lot be all the people.
With Castle Oztroja head in and travel to I-8, there will be two levers, but becareful one lever triggers a trap door. Try to talk and see if there is someone on the other side if not, have a Black Mage trigger them in case he gets the trap door and falls down, he can then escape easily back out. Once someone is on the otherside, they can just open the door for anyone else. Now follow through and up the stairs to the second floor and go to G-8 and out to a courtyard at G-7 then up the next stairs to the third floor and follow the hallway until you have a right turn at H-8, then follow it around until H-10 and turn right and then follow it around and head north taking the first right turn at G-9 and then north until reach a door and two torchs. Examine one of them and enter the zone. Run through until you find the marker for your last Magicite.
Now end back to Ru'lude Gardens for another audience with the Archduke. Talk to him and get a cutscene and then you are granted the airship pass you have so wanted since you began playing the game. If you have switched alliegances and have the airship pass already the Archduke gives you an extra 20k. Now head back to the embassy and get your Rank 5 and 10k.
Congratulations you have completed the first half of the missions and now have your airship pass. It only gets harder from here out. |
