Walkthrough

  • Travel to Rala Waterways and fight Plantpassage Slugs there until they utilize the Fuscous Ooze special attack.
    • These are located in the South-East part of Rala Waterways, which is currently most easily accessed from (F-7) Eastern Adoulin.
  • After being hit with Fuscous Ooze, the assignment will be complete.
    • Fuscous Ooze is a conal attack, and will clear this assignment for anyone who gets hit with it.
  • It is possible to bring one or both of the Plantpassage Slugs from the L/M-8 area to the F-7 Eastern Adoulin entrance to Rala Waterways
    • You will aggro all the mobs on the way back. It may be best to have a friend sleep the Plantpassage Slug once you reach the entrance and let the other adds despawn after you get KOd or you zone out.
  • To optimize time, bank imprimaturs in other coalition assignments (canceling will return them to you) until you can do 6-7 runs in a row (20+ imprimaturs) to complete Petitioner rank
    • If one person holds the Plantpassage Slug, you can clear the assignment, Warp II to Western Adoulin HP #1, Waypoint #3 to Mummers, turn in/get new assignment, Waypoint to Eastern Adoulin #4, and enter again, repeating until you rank up.
    • The Slug family only has three TP moves, so you can let it get TP from hitting you or by hitting it with a spell like Dia.
