In-Game Text

Description

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

Bastok

If you chose to start in Bastok, go speak with the Pius in the office of the President. If you have done 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 Bastok 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.

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 level at (J-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 onz of Mythril Sand. You can take a shortcut back to Bastok by jumping into the boat on the third floor.

Give the Mythril Sand to Savae E Paleade.

Next, it's off to Windurst!

Next head to the ambassador in Windurst. He sends you to a tower in Windurst Walls to get a key. 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.

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.

Windurst

If Windurst is first, then you need to take a shield offering to the Yagudo NPC guarding the treasure room in the lowest part of Giddeus, then you have to fight the NM Buxu the Silent and retrieve 2 parana shields and trade them to the San d'Orian counsul member. 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 cut scene, head back to the san D'Orian counsul in 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.

Spoilers

--Area: Southern San d'Oria-- Endracion: Oh, it's you, ____. And at just the right time, too. Monarlais Halver is looking for an adventurer such as yourself. Endracion: That is all. You'll take the mission then? Endracion: Enter Chateau d'Oraguille. Monarlais Halver is there; he'll explain in person.

--Area: Chateau d'Oraguille-- Halver: Ah, you are ____, are you not? I've heard word of you from the gatehouse. We've got a mission for you--a special mission. Halver: Our scouts say the beastmen are rising again... Not just here, but in lands abroad. We want you to go to Bastok and Windurst and see how they fare. Halver: While there, you can be recognized by both nations, with 'an Adventurer's Certificate'. Not a bad deal, is it? Halver: I hereby order you on official business. Visit the two countries of Bastok and Windurst, and receive recognition as an adventurer. Halver: Here is a letter of intruduction to the consulates of San d'Oria. Just hand it to the consul, and they'll know what to do with you. Halver: The consulate will give you further orders. Once both countries have given you official recognition, come back here. I will issue you your 'Adventurer's Certificate'. Halver: This will be your first journey abroad, ____, no? None can tell what adventures await. Take care, and come home safe. Obtained key item: Letter to the consuls.

--Area: Bastok Metalworks-- Savae E Paleade: Ah, you're here on a mission, arn't you? We've been expecting you. It's good to see you made it here safely. Savae E Paleade: Riault, if you please. Riault: Yes, ma'am. First, let me tell you about Bastok's current state. Riault: Bastok has already lost several major assets to the Quadav. The Palborough Mines were the greatest loss. Riault: Their recent plight is akin to ours in our fight against the Orcs. Only in the time prior to the Great War did the power balance shift so. Chantain: I've heard a rumor that they are rallying behind a new leader! Can you believe it? Beastmen, being organized!? Chantain: This bodes ill, I tell you. What's worse, we are stuck here in the city of uncouth ruffians! Savae E Paleade: Chantain! That is enough. Riault, please continue. Riault: Your mission is to go to the Palborough Mines, currently under Quadav control, and take a sample of the dwindling resources called mythril. Riault: To be precise, we need you to bring back 'an onz of mythril sand'. Riault: Thanks to our agreement to mutual cooperation, Bastok is allowing us to send you into the mines. Your true objective is to gather as much information as possible on Bastok's advanced technology. Savae E Paleade: If it were up to us, we would want you to go to the mines right away, but we were told by the Bastok authorities that you must report to them first in order to receive authorization. Savae E Paleade: I know you'd rather do without all the red tape, but bear with us and report to the Bastokan official named Pius. He can be found in the President's Office. Savae E Paleade: I must warn you that we thought the Humes were a reasonable people before we came here...but we've found that this is not always the case. Savae E Paleade: Their talent at making profit is incomparable, but their sense of duty is somewhat lacking. In fact, even their officials can be troublesome. For the sake of your mission's success, try to be patient.

Pius: Yes, what is it? Ah, you are the envoy from San d'Oria. Pius: Go speak to a Galka named Grohm--he was part of the expedition that tried to reclaim the Palborough Mines from the Quadav once before. He should be in the Craftsmen's Eatery in the Metalworks. Pius: Why are you still here? The Muskateers are usually charged with giving out missions, and frankly, I find this kind of work tedious... Pius: But since you are an envoy, you are under my jurisdiction. Still, I can't help but wonder what you San d'Orians' true motives are... Pius: Then again, you're going willingly into the Quadav-ridden place, so I can't complain, even if you do turn out to be a spy. Pius: Well, anyway... You want to speak to Grohm, in the Metalworks eatery. Good luck to you. Pius: Oh, and when you're done with the investigation, report directly to your consulate. That is our protocol. I would be rather annoyed if you were to come back here.

Grohm: Hm? What do you want? Hey, you're not from Bastok, are you? Grohm: What!? You're San d'Orian, and you listened to what a Bastokan official told you to do? Grohm: Hah! I have no idea why that Hume sent you here...or why your consulate sent you to him in the first place. You better listen good. A lot of us died trying to win the Palborough Mines back from the Quadav... Grohm: It might not matter to a foreigner like you, but they always send us Galka to do the dirty work! Grohm: What gets me the most is that they don't even thing about it twice! Even if you haven't been here long, you must've seen how they treat us. Grohm: Never mind. Shouting at you won't change anything. You wanted to know about refining ore, right? It's easy, but you have to remember the steps. Grohm: Here goes: 1. Get 'a chunk of mine gravel'. 2. Put that into the upper part of the refiner. 3. Take the 'onz of mythril sand' out of the lower part of the refiner. Grohm: you can either buy 'a chunk of mine gravel' from someone, or get some by using a pickaxe on a mythril seam inside Palborough. Grohm: The refining machine is so big, its upper and lower sections are on different floors. Put a chunk of mine gravel into it on the third floor, and it'll produce an onz of mythril sand on the second floor. Grohm: I know it sounds simple, but it's not. You've got the Quadav to deal with, and they're everywhere. Grohm: Here, take these pickaxes. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Lion: Hey, you're an adventurer, right? From another country? Lion: Sorry, I couldn't help but eavesdrop. I'm going to the Palborough Mines, too. Lion: Don't worry, I won't get in your way. I don't think we're going after the same thing anyway. Lion: At least, for now. Lion: But you shouldn't think your mission is just a mine survey. Lion: The beastmen seem to have found a new leader, and the Quadav are getting more powerful with each passing day. There could be another war... Lion: Oh, there's one thing you should know. Do you know why the Quadav took the Palborough Mines? Lion: Humes claim that the Quadav stole the mines from them, but in reality, the mines are the Quadav's home... no, their holy land. Lion: The Quadav would die rather than lose it. But the Humes in Bastok don't know, and they don't care to know. Lion: Well, it's time for me to go. Oh, and my name is Lion. I'm an adventurer, like you. I'll be seeing you around. Obtained: 3 Pickaxes.
