Feast of Swords 2008/Guide

Starting Out
Head to a starting city and talk to an event moogle to obtain your Ibushi Shinai.

Southern San d'Oria / Northern San d'Oria Bastok Mines / Bastok Markets Windurst Waters / Port Windurst

Now Head outside and find the event moogle there, talk to them to recieve an enchantment.

West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Jugner Forest Batallia Downs / North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta Tahrongi Canyon / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromugue Champaign

Find and kill the armor mobs in the same zone, collecting mallice as they use weapon skills.

Obtaining Malice
The only real way to gain malice (and thus gain the prizes) known so far is to use the enchantment on the Ibushi Shinai BEFORE the armor uses it's TP skill. If timed properly, you'll get a message stating "A protective energy absorbs the malice of your enemy!" This is the only known way so far.

Obtaining Rewards
Once the armor has been defeated, a ??? will pop up next to it. Unequip your Ibushi Shinai and trade it to the spot. If you do not have enough malice to obtain a reward, a moogle let you know. Otherwise, you will gain a random reward from the list below.

If the Omodaka Armor has been defeated (which, in experience can take upwards of 45 minutes), the ??? will yield either one of the collars, medals, scarfs, or the Ibushi Shinai +1 if you've already gained one stables item dependent on the area you defeat the Omodaka Armor in.
