Finding the metal strip

From the dialogue in the cutscene it seems like the moogle wants you to mine up the strip from somewhere, but where? My guess would be palborough mines and hes leading you back to the previous 3 areas. Calimar Lakshmi 00:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed in Palborough Mines. Seems to be 100% seeing as I mined up a pebble and the key item at the same time. Calimar Lakshmi 00:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

It's not 100%. I broke 3 pickaxes, then mined 10 pebbles, then mined nothing, then got a pebble + the key item. --Psepha 00:45, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Definatly not 100%. Took me 25 mining tries, 13 axes, and about 10~15min in Gusgen Mines ☆☆☆Tandem 01:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed in Ifrit's Cauldron. I got it on my first try breaking my pick digging up a flint stone and the steel strip key item.

Square-Enix is really funny. 43 attempts - 8 broken pickaxes. Zeruhn Mines. --Starcade 09:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Finding the rugged bark

The moogle makes it clear you have to harvest it from somewhere. My guess is back to Giddeus. Calimar Lakshmi 00:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Still no item in Giddeus. Going to try somewhere else. Calimar Lakshmi 01:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

The rugged bark is not harvested. It is logged. It's possibly a translation error. --Baroness 01:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Items seem to have a higher obtain rate after getting cs for them as i was 0/68 on rugged bark. then 1/1 on it after getting CS.- Randierous

If I'm not mistaken, these are Key Items, so likely you have to have gotten the CS. Nuilvian 09:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I was wrong, you can get any of the three Key Items as long as you're on this mission. I accidentally harvested instead of logged for the second item and got the third one. I also confirmed that all three can be obtained with a full inventory. --Nuilvian 11:45, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

It may not be possible to obtain the Rugged Tree Bark from Buburimu Peninsula. I broke 30 hatchets trying to get it here and know someone else who broke nearly as many while trying to farm the item here. I then went 1/15 (logging attempts, not # of hatchets) on getting it in Ghelsba Outpost and he went 1/3 in Jugner Forest. --Madranta 12:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

0/100+ among 3 characters in Buburimu Peninsula, I'm seconding the notion that it cant be obtained there. It took a while in Zeruhn, but not that long.--Nynja 14:39, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

0/76 in Buburimu Peninsula myself, went to look at this page to see if anyone else had as terrible a luck. Considering putting down that it is not a viable location on main page. Vail 16:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

0/50 in Buburimu Peninsula here too. Went to Jugner Forest and got it on the 3rd try without getting the CS for the bark first. So you can get all 3 items beforehand as long as you are on the mission Akeda 21:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Just to add to my previous comment, on my same three characters, I went 1/2 EACH when I relocated to Jugner. I think based upon these testimonials, it should be safe to say that you cant obtain the item in Buburimu.--Nynja 22:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Spent about an hour and ten minutes in Buburimu Peninsula trying to get the log with no success. However, moved to Fort Ghelsba Outpost and got it in my first three minutes. I've also only gotten the CS for the strip of metal. --Xenoflame 23:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Finding the Savory Roast

Confirmed by harvesting in West Saruta. --Baroness 01:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Recofirmed in West Saruta, and it IS possible to obtain the key item prior to being asked for it by the moogle. Although, you probably need to have the quest wholeheartedly flagged. 28 harvests, broke 2 sickles took 25 mins. --Tandem 02:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Rereconfirming in West Sarut, with full inventory it took me 104 harvests and one broken sickle to get the key item. It is also possible to obtain all three of the key items at the same time before returning to Inconspicuous Door for the first time. --Runninwolf 02:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Full Inventory

While having full inventory you can still HELM and get the items without breaking the tools.

Just tested this mining with a full inventory in Gusgen. You can still break tools this way, but at least you won't have to chase down a new mining point every time. --IKMahdi 07:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Note on full inventory: My friends and I discovered that you can only get key item on "unable to log/harvest/mine" attempts with full inventory. Using this as a basis, it is unwise to wear HELM gear while obtaining them with a full inventory. Just thought I would let others know our findings. Vail 16:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I got both the roast and wood on 'full inventory' attempts and not on 'unable to log' attempts. Akeda 21:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I got all three of mine on a full inventory notice.--Rikimarueye 05:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Order at which it must be done

Does anybody know whether or not you can farm all three items even if the moogle has only instructed you to find one? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gozaimasu (talk • contribs).

Yes, you can. --Kyrie 13:17, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Results

Just gathered these key items...here are my results:
1/1 on the metal strip in Gusgen Mines
1/7 on the wood in Jugner Forest
1/84 on the lamb roast in West Saruta
I only lost a pickaxe and a sickle... --Enrei 16:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
