  • Buy additional Pickaxes from shops, to save you the trip of returning to Bastok to purchase more; pickaxes can break when mining.
• Port Bastok -> North Gustaberg Head to (K-3) to enter Palborough Mines.
  • If you are low level, you may want to bring Silent Oils to prevent aggro.
• Locate a Mythril Seam ((F-7) on the first floor or (I-9) of third floor) and mine for Mine Gravel by trading the Pickaxes to the point.
  • It may take several attempts at the same Seam to obtain Mine Gravel.

Windurst

Mission Name	Journey to Windurst
Number	2-3
Items Needed	Dark Key

• Windurst Woods Go to the San d'Orian embassy and talk to Mourices at (G-10) inside.
• Windurst Walls -> Heavens Tower Talk to Kupipi (in the clerical chamber straight ahead from entrance) to receive a Dark Key. Make sure you do not skip this step!
  • If she gives you Trust: Kupipi, you have to zone out and back in to trigger the 2-3 mission cutscene. If you talk to her without zoning, she just talks about Nanaa Mihgo instead.
  • Everyone in your party must have this item to enter the BC, or have completed 2-3 previously in their current nation of allegiance. One person cannot get others into the fight who do not have the Dark Key, even if they are currently on this part of the mission, unless they have completed the mission in their current nation of allegiance.
  • If you are in possession of "Rhapsody in White", you will also receive Cipher: Semih.
• West Sarutabaruta -> Giddeus Head to (G-12) to enter Balga's Dais.
  • Only Invisible is needed in Giddeus. Buffs are removed when you enter the BCNM.
• Enter the Burning Circle for a cutscene and to enter the BCNM with (Searcher and Black Dragon).
  • If you are solo, make sure you are a minimum of level 30 and on a very strong job, such as a Monk using Hundred Fists. Kill the dragon before killing the Searcher, or the dragon will kill you rather easily after the Searcher has weakened you. The Searcher does not melee you unless you are close to it or it has less than 50% of its HP, so it is relatively inactive if you focus on the dragon first.
  • If in a party with a Black Mage, the recommended order is to kill Searcher, then Black Dragon. The BLM should use Elemental Seal + Sleep on the dragon while everyone kills the Searcher. Once the Searcher is gone, the Black Dragon will die quickly. This dragon has a very potent AOE poison attack that does 10 damage per tick, which makes antidotes necessary. He also may curse the tanks.

(see testimonials)

• Once the Black Dragon is defeated, another cutscene will happen.
  • A glitch may prevent this cutscene from occurring. If this happens, you can view the cutscene here (begin at 8:53). Alternatively, you can exit the dais and reenter from the main entrance to watch from the Goblin Footprint.
• Windurst Woods Report to Mourices at the San d'Orian embassy to receive a Kindred Report.
• Chateau d'Oraguille. Report back to Halver.
