Walkthrough

This quest is the second of several quests involved in unlocking Mythic Weapons. It is extremely time-consuming, requiring hours of effort per day for several months.

• Talk to Paparoon (G-7) in Nashmau, and select every option. Upon asking about Assault Memoires, you will receive 5 items.
  • If you do not have 5 open spaces in your Gobbiebag, he will cancel the cutscene.

Holy Relics

• Purchase Balrahn's Eyepatch from Kilusha, and trade it to Paparoon.
• Balrahn's Eyepatch costs 100,000 Therion Ichor. Ichor can be farmed from Einherjar.
  • Einherjar is a 6-36 person battlefield. A party of 99s can complete the battlefield with ease. You may repeat Einherjar 20 hours after your previous entry. See the Einherjar page for instructions.
  • Examine the glowing ??? near the entry gate for the Mark of the Einherjar. This allows you to reserve a room in any wing.
    • Refer to the Mark of the Einherjar page for instructions on obtaining the key item.
    • The Mark allows you to trade Template:Rare2Valkyrie's Tear, Template:Rare2Valkyrie's Wing, or Template:Rare2Valkyrie's Soul in exchange for feathers from Wings I, II, or III respectively.
      • Purchasing Valkyrie items from Kilusha requires Ichor. Players who are not working on this quest can buy the Valkyrie items from Kilusha and sell them on the AH for profit.
  • Completing Wing III will earn you 1920 Ichor. Entry into Odin's Chamber (reward 2880 Ichor) or Odin's Chamber II (reward 3600 Ichor) requires all players to own one feather from each of the three Wings.
    • By farming Wing III once per day, you will obtain 100,000 Ichor in about 52 days.

Wyrmseeker of Areuhat

• Purchase Wyrmseeker Areuhat from Zasshal (K-9) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate, and trade it to Paparoon.
• Wyrmseeker Areuhat costs 150,000 Tokens from Nyzul Isle. The purchase is not available until you have begun this quest.
  • Tokens can be obtained from Nyzul Isle Investigation (level 75) or Nyzul Isle Uncharted Area Survey (level 99, aka "Neo Nyzul Isle" or "NNI"). Success in Nyzul Isle is extremely dependent on player skill.
  • Entry into Nyzul Isle or NNI requires one Imperial Army I.D. Tag.
    • NNI is not a good source for farming tokens for several reasons. Each floor is far more difficult to complete, being level 99 content, you only receive 90 tokens per floor cleared (not the number of the floor you finish at). For example, if you use "Jump ??? floors" each time and clear 14 floors after reaching the top, you will receive 1,260 tokens.
    • Token yield for Lv75 Nyzul is far better. See Nyzul Isle Investigation for details. Base token yield is 200 per floor completed, plus 10 every five floors; e.g. floors 1-5 yield 5*200, floors 6-10 yield 5*210, floors 96-100 yield 5*390. You will receive 100% reward with 1-3 party members, 90% for 4, 80% for 5, and 70% for 6. The assault leader will earn an extra 10%. To start on higher floors requires a payment of Tokens, but in a party this cost is not significant.
      • A party familiar with Nyzul Isle can comfortably clear 10 floors. An elite group of 4 players can clear up to 25 floors.
      • Assuming a group of 6 players clears floors 91-100 three times every three days, with each person taking turns paying for the warp, you can expect to earn roughly 2,395 Tokens per run, reaching 150,000 Tokens in about 63 days.

Assault Memoires

• Successfully record Assault missions by trading the appropriate item to the Rune of Release after clearing the mission.
  • Entry into Assault requires one Imperial Army I.D. Tag.
  • A glitch can occur that prevents recording progress if the Armory Chest is opened. Be sure to trade your journal before opening the chest, or wait until the chest despawns.
  • Mamool Ja Training Grounds assault missions must be recorded in the Mamool Ja Journal.
  • Lebros Cavern assault missions must be recorded in the Lebros Chronicle.
  • Leujaoam Sanctum assault missions must be recorded in the Leujaoam Log.
  • Periqia assault missions must be recorded in the Periqia Diary.
  • Ilrusi Atoll assault missions must be recorded in the Ilrusi Ledger.
• Checking a journal in your Temporary Key Items will display a line of ten dashes (-) and stars (*) indicating which assaults have been completed: <---------->
  • The leftmost dash represents the First Lieutenant assault; the rightmost dash represents the Private Second Class assault. When an assault has been successfully recorded, its position in the line will become a star.
  • Once a journal has been completed, you may trade it to Paparoon for safekeeping.
    • Assuming you complete each mission on the first try, this will require 50 days of assaults, added to the time spent in Nyzul Isle.

Alexandrite Gems

• Acquire 30,000 Alexandrite and trade them to Paparoon.
  • If you have obtained a Cat's Eye from the Mog Bonanza event (rank 2 prize), you can complete this portion immediately.
  • Any Alexandrite traded to Paparoon is permanently stored; it cannot be withdrawn, even if you use a Cat's Eye.
  • Alexandrite is dropped by Archaia in Salvage, and from Notorious Monsters in Nyzul Isle Uncharted Area Survey.
  • Cotton Coin Purse (5-20 Alexandrite) is 100% dropped by most NMs in Salvage, and 10-25% dropped by Qiqirns in Salvage and Acroliths and NMs in Salvage II.
  • Linen Coin Purse (50-99 Alexandrite) is 10% dropped by final bosses in Salvage, and 100% dropped by final bosses in Salvage II.
  • A Remnants Permit can be obtained from Zasshal once per day, allowing you to run 1-2 Salvages every 1-2 days.
    • Silver Sea Remnants contains four Cotton Coin Purse-carrying NMs along one path, as well as 24 monsters that each drop 1 Alexandrite, and the final boss which may (10% chance) drop a Linen Coin Purse. You can expect to earn about 82 Alexandrite per day, reaching 30,000 Alexandrite in 366 days.
  • Alexandrite can be purchased from other players' Bazaars. Prices vary by server, generally between 10,000 and 15,000 gil per stone.
    • It is recommended to supplement your Salvage farms with gil from other sources, such as Dynamis or Limbus. The total investment for this portion will be around 300-450 million gil.

Conclusion

• After trading the last of your items, speak to Paparoon again. After a brief cutscene, he will give you Paparoon's sealed invitation and send you to talk to the Empress at the Imperial Palace in Aht Urhgan Whitegate.
