Okay... I feel stupid. Figured it out and I was making a very basic mistake.

It's the same problem that you frequently run into when you've got multiple quests active using the same NPC. You have to click the NPC more than once to get the response you need. And unfortunately, the 'Mamook' comment is the one that's apparently always at the top (even though it's a generic sort of response). Apparently I never thought to click Cacaroon twice.

^^;;

Got the Mamook comment, clicked him again, and got the cut-scene. Paid the bronze coin, got the second cut-scene, and ran over to the temple to get that cut-scene.

well, i'm in tune with 4 out of 5 so far. i'm gonna try and get the last one after i get back from an improv show tonight. since you mention it, i'll check it out. but i'm still fairly convinced we need to wati for jp midnight.

Bump! Thanks for all the info guys ^^! keep it up.

OK I got my Mog Locker and became a Mercenary today. He's the jist. Hope it helps:

As you’re coming off the boat the Mercenaries office place is in the right hand side of the plaza upstairs (I-10). Go in and you'll get a cut-scene with Naja-Salaheem. She wants you to prove your stuff by delivering a supply package (key item). Bring at least a stack each of sneak and invisible unless you have a handy spell caster. A mob in there killed me and 2 level 75 dead as doornails so don't mess around if you wanna live. No worries.

Go to the second part of town, Al Zahbi, and out the gate to Bhaflau Thickets.

As shown on the map go to F-8 the little pointy part will take you underground.

Here it gets a bit sticky. I didn’t have maps so I have not idea where we went but we made our way to Mount Zhaylom somehow. I don't remember passing any gates so I'm guess it was H-7. GL with that.

Once to Mount Zhaylom it wasn’t too bad. You pop onto the map at about K-7 or K-8 I believe. Just make your way to K-6 to the Iron gate. Now there are two gates so make sure it's the Iron one you choose.

Once you go through the gate the hard part is done. Talk to the NPC and after the happy cut scene he'll let you use the warpy gate to go back to town. What a relief!

So once back in town go back to Naja Shalaheem and she'll give you mog locker access and declare you a Private Second Class Mercenary.

Next to to the Commissions Office and talk to the the middle NPC at the first desk and he'll tell you all about everything Assault. Go to the gate guards to get "Sanction". This is like signet and lets you accumulate imperial status points used for tasty trade ins. Get a group together, go back to the Commissions Office to choose an assault area, and have a hoot-hollering good time!

BTW, maybe thanks to the kind party that took me in and loved me even after I argoed and killed them all. I forgot your names already because my memory is stucky but I'll remember your kindness in warm fuzzy foundness each time I do an assault.

That is what I plan on doing tomorrow morning.

It isn't 24 real life hours because I certainly didn't wait 24 real life hours. At 30 seconds after JP midnight I went to the palace and got the cutscene.

If I am understanding correctly once we are on the 8th mission we are done for now?

Great guide by the way, thanks alot ^^

heh, i've never tried an assault (yet) and i also got that "good job" saying yesterday :x and yes it appears that this is the end until the next update. go do assault!

why would conquest matter on a continent that doesnt observe it? :P

Wow. Eight whole missions? Good job, SE! ._.

Yeah, the original timeline said they'd finish the storyline in like january 07 >.<

There are a couple of quests in the .dat's that involve ranking up with Naja. My guess is that if you participate in Assault enough times, she'll let you do a quest to rank up.

Just a quick correction for those of you who haven't tried getting the Mamool Ja staging point. When traveling through Mamook, in F-8 of the map, you actually have to go down to the bottom level and then back up to the higher level.

It doesn't show on the map, but majority of the time, you'll be traversing upon the upper level of Mamook. Keep sneak and invis up at all times and beware of elementals.

The path provided is a bit confusing, but generally head towards the tunnels and you should be fine. I got kind of confused looking at the map because the path didn't match the route I took.

added in a new thread for staging point positions, hopefully this one is a bit clearer. also added a link to my assault mission guide. luciffer there are plenty of other places to find how to do that quest, i'm not gonna bother with it here.

Wow...I wish I had those maps for those two staging points about 30 mins ago since I just finished the last one ><.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. Thanks. It should be fixed now.

good info, thanks

stamping this for later

Didn't take very long to complete these missions.. Without the one earth day I believe it would only take an hour or two to complete these...

Oh well ^^;; I'm sure these are really only the introduction to the true challange, since most of these so called missions were really just viewing cutscenes and travelling from place to place...

Although I hope when they make the true challanges they don't make it as difficult as some of those nasty chains of promathia missions :O :O They were plain evil ^^;;;

I did not recive a single bronze piece from that CS ...

meh, i'm gonna have to keep adding stuff to this guide so that i can post and bump it >.> otherwise it's gonna fall off the page before square adds more missions -.- so i added Erecia's guide to the top (with permission) cmon, sticky plz?

heh, not a bad idea^^ however, i think i'd like to wait til all the missions are done before doing that so that there's enough need to make a compilation thread.

I did the first supply run, but who do I talk to to get another one? I want to do all 5.

keddin i've got all 4 invitation cards and all you get is an imperial mythril piece. mission 9 simply doesn't exist yet. as for the next level of assault missions, i believe B is probably correct.

Shoulda posted that in my assault mission guide pluto ;) but yeah i was just about to add that in.

EDIT: sorry to sound selfish, but i'm really close to being a sage. i want a red name! rate ups for everyone who's posted! (please rate me up in return lolz, just a couple of rate ups can make a difference)
