Walkthrough

Your Moogle requires three items to complete repair of the Jeuno Rent-a-Room. Once you have flagged the quest, all key items can be obtained at the same time.

• Obtain a Sturdy metal strip.

• This can be obtained randomly through mining in any original or Rise of the Zilart area.
• Return the Sturdy metal strip to the Inconspicuous Door for another cutscene.

• Obtain a piece of Rugged Tree Bark.

• This can be obtained randomly through logging in any original or Rise of the Zilart area (excluding Buburimu Peninsula, see discussion) . The Moogle's statement about how to obtain this item is incorrect.
• Return the Rugged Tree Bark to the Inconspicuous Door for another cutscene.

• Obtain a Savory Lamb Roast.

• This can be obtained randomly through harvesting in any original or Rise of the Zilart area.
• Can obtain item and key item on same harvest.
• Return the Savory Lamb Roast to the Inconspicuous Door for another cutscene.

Notes

• The mission must be flagged before obtaining the Key Items.
  • The Key Items can be obtained out of order, or all at once, before the Moogle asks for the individual items separately (ie. the bark or the lamb roast).
  • It's to your advantage to have a full inventory since the point will not despawn, you cannot break a tool, and you can keep trying to get the key item from the same point.
• It can take several tries, and many broken HELM items, to get the key items. Take extra equipment.
  • The following macro will help to save time:
    • /targetnpc
    • /item Hatchet <t> (or whatever item you're currently using)
  • You can obtain the Key Item on a failed HELM or on a tool break.
  • You can obtain the Key Item even if your inventory is full, though you will still break tools.
  • You can basically retrieve two from one area, Ghelsba Outpost for the logging and the Yughott Grotto for the mining, then go to Giddeus for the harvesting.

• The following zones have an abundance of points for you to mine, log, or harvest in a relatively small area: Zeruhn Mines, Ghelsba Outpost, and Giddeus, respectively.
• Reobtaining the items and talking to Squintrox Dryeyes will allow you to obtain the Blue coral key, a Treasure Coffer (Tenshodo) Key.

Game Script

Welcome! To My Decrepit Domicile - Upper Jeuno
Moogle: Incredible! What speed! What alacrity! I knew I could count on you, kupo! Now all it'll take is a tippity-tap here, a nudgety-nudge there, and... Moogle: There! And sublimely done, if I do say so myself. But no rest for the weary moogle, kupo! To replace those rotting roofboards, we're going to need... Yes, a piece of rugged tree bark should do the trick. Moogle: You should be able to harvest it somewhere, I think. Moogle: While you're out, I'll take up my tools and get cracking. Happy hunting!

Moogle: Incredible! What speed! What alacrity! I knew I could count on you, kupo! Now all it'll take is a tippity-tap here, a nudgety-nudge there, and... Moogle: Phew! That'll do it. Truly, I'm shocked--stupefied, even--that our union-run Mog-Houses are in a state of such disrepair! Something must be done...and soon, kupo! Moogle: I know! I'll talk to Dom Kupeliaure! Moogle: Knowing him, he'll fix these right up into lavish three-bedroom suites fit for King Kupofried himself! That's just that magnanimous moogle he is, kupo. Moogle: Just leave it to me! I'll draft up an official renovation request. Why, we'll be living in the lap of luxury before you know it, kupo! Moogle: As for the pressing repairs at hand... Moogle: Yes, yes... Why, it looks as if we're just about-- Moogle: Er--wait one minute. Yes, I...ah...almost forgot. One last piece of material to put on the critical coup-de-grace! A...savory lamb roast, kupo. Moogle: Don't worry. Preoccupied predators are leaving their hard-earned catches all over the place these days. Succulent slabs of meat are literally lying around waiting to be harvested by a keen-eyed adventurer like yourself! Moogle: What's that, Master? Why, of course it's required for the repairs! Whatever are you insinuating, kupo!? Moogle: I wouldn't dream of roasting it medium-rare, glazed with a delectable dragon-fruit-and-rolanberry sauce, and serving it on a romantic candlelit dinner date with my darling Kupiruru! That's the furthest thing from my innocent moogle mind! Please, Master! You're the only one who can save my romantic prospects--I mean, this dilapidated dwelling, kupo!

Feast your eyes on this craftsmanship, Master! The precision! The perfection! Not a single bent nail! Not a single warped plank! Moogle: And I couldn't have done it without you, Master. Thank you from the bottom of my ever-humble moogle heart, kupo! Moogle: Oh, hello, what do we have here? A letter? Aha! This must be a reply from the boss! Moogle: Always quick with a cordial reply, that Dom Kupeliaure! Let's see what manner of ritzy renovations he has in store for us, kupo. Moogle: "Full-scayle renohvashuns, yoo say? The impyoodence! The awdassity! Yoov got sum nurve making demands lyke that when yoor not payeing a singul gil in rent! Moogle: "That duz it. Yoo no like tha Mog Howse? Fyne.

Moogle: Oh dear. It would seem that the boss is a bit--how shall we say--miffed? Moogle: How odd... He was always such an affable chap. Could the stress of dealing with disgruntled boarders be getting to him in his advanced age, kupo? Moogle: <Sigh> It seems we have a sticky situation on our hands... Whatever shall we do? Moogle: What's this, kupo? There's a message scrawled at the bottom here... Moogle: "Be warned, ye laggard loafers most perverse... This envelope has been ensorcelled with a fearsome curse! Moogle: "Breaking the seal will release malicious spirits into the air. So do be wary and handle with care! O~hohohohohoho!" Moogle: O~hohoho...? Now where have I heard that bef-- Moogle: Wh-what's happening!? What is that clattering? That shattering? These footsteps a-pattering, and blood a-spattering!? Moogle: Oh, M-Master! We're doomed! Done for! Deader than a rain-rusted doornail, kupoooooo... Moogle: <Cough>...Ahem. I seem to have contracted a case of the shivers, so I think I'll step outside for a bit. Moogle: Frightened? Me? Perish the thought, kupo! You must have mistaken me for some other moogle malingerer! Now, if you'll just--<ahem>--excuse me for a moment. Moogle: Kupo-wh-whoa!? Moogle: Er... Let's try that once more...with feeling, kupo! Moogle: Kupooooooooo...it's no use. I'm trapped! Moogle: It must be the curse... What manner of twisted, sadistic mind could have devised such a sinister spell? Moogle: Oh Master, whatever shall we do, kupoooooo... Moogle: Hmm? What's this? A mysterious message mystically aglow atop the parchment? Moogle: Could it be...? Moogle: "For curses, hexes, and jinxes, big and small... visit Shantotto's Exorcism Emporium--she'll banish them all! Moogle: "That's Professor Shantotto's one-stop curse-removal shop! With a discount for first-time customers--now there's an offer you can't top!" Moogle: Kupo...? Moogle: I can't help but feel that something is...amiss, kupo. Moogle: But we have no choice! Moogle: I beg of you, Master! You must go to Windurst and speak with Professor Shantotto! Moogle: Why, if you don't, I'll never be able to leave this house again! My romantic dinner plans with Kupiruru will be ruined! Ruined, kupo! Moogle: You wouldn't consign your bestest bat-winged buddy to such a forlorn fate, would you? ...Would you, Master!? Moogle: Oh, and Master, do be careful if you visit any other Mog Houses or Rent-a-rooms! You may see moogles that look like me, but you never know what awful apparitions they might actually be... Moogle: Tarry too long, and you just might find yourself curse-stricken as well! So please, hurry to Professor Shantotto without delay! You're this poor moogle's only hope, kupoooooo...
