Journey Abroad

How to get this mission
Repeat Mission 1-2 until Mission 2-3 shows up in the list of missions. Talk to the gate guard to obtain this mission. The gate guard will send you to Halver inside the castle. Halver will tell you to travel to Bastok and Windurst and go to the embassy. Which nation you go first is up to you.

Bastok, Windurst walkthrough
Head to the embassy in Metalworks. Talk to the ambassador inside the embassy. After a long cutscene, he will send you to the President's office. Speak to Pium, who will explain the situation. Now talk to Grohm inside the eatery. He will give you some Pickaxes, but this may not be enough.

Buy extra pickaxes, and a map to Palborough Mines, located in the northeast corner of North Gustaberg that you must enter through Port Bastok. Only Sneak is necessary while inside Palborough Mines. Head to F-7 after entering, where there are several mythril seams. Trade your pickaxe to the seams. It may take several attempts. Once you obtain the item, head to the second level of the map. You will find a refiner with a rid. Trade this item to the refiner, then pull the lever. Continue to the path to the left side of the map, around, and back to the area under the machine. You will find a lever, which needs to be pulled. You will receive an item that the ambassador wants. Return to the embassy and trade that item to the ambassador. The ambassador will tell you at this point that the Bastok part of the mission is done.

Now either get a Teleport-Mea or head to Selbina. Take the ferry to Mhaura, and make sure you have Silent Oils in case Sea Horror shows up. Once you arrive in Mhaura, you will go Buburimu Pennisula >> Tahrongi Canyon >> East Sarbaratura >> Windurst. Once inside Windurst, go to your embassy in Windurst Woods. After you talk to the people inside the embassy, they will ask you to go to Heaven's Tower, which is in Windurst Walls. The people inside the tower will give you a key that will get you inside Balgas Dias.

Purchase a map of Giddeus, find a level 25 party (with someone that can sleep), and bring antidotes (white mages need reraiser). Make sure your gear is level 25 or under, as you will be fighting a BCNM fight that is capped at Level 25. Invisible is only needed inside Giddeus. Once inside of Giddeus, head to G-12 to zone into Balgas Dias.

Upon entering the battlefield and receiving a cutscene, you will find Seether and Black Dragon. The order of the fight is Seeker > Black Dragon. The black mage should Elemental Seal + Sleep on the dragon while everyone kills the Seeker. Once Seeker is gone, the dragon will die quickly. This dragon has a very potent AOE poison attack that does 10 damage per tick, which makes antidotes necessary.

Once the dragon is defeated, another cutscene will happen. You will be transported to West Sarbaratura. Report to the embassy. The embassy will tell you that this part of mission is done.

Now report to Halver to get 3000 gil reward and Rank 3.
