Walkthrough

Note: This Mission is optional and can be skipped by trading enough Crystals to the Conquest NPC.

Trade enough Crystals to the Conquest NPC to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the Gate Guard.

  • Obtain a Hare Meat icon.png Hare Meat.
  • Speak to Davyad (K-6) in Bastok Mines.
  • Head to Gusgen Mines from Konschtat Highlands and proceed to (J-7).
    • You will need Sneak or Silent Oil icon.png Silent Oil in here unless you are of sufficient level, /check the monsters to make sure they are incredibly easy prey or too weak.
  • Once inside the Mines, follow these directions:
    • Take a right.
    • At the next intersection, take a left.
    • At the fork, take a right, and then another right at the next intersection.
    • You should be at (J-7).
      • Take caution of Smothered Schmidt who spawns in the same area at either 0:00, 1:00, or 2:00 when the siren in the zone sounds.
      • Schmidt was easily killed as a lvl 38 NIN with 4 summoned Trusts.
      • Wait around for it to depop if it is up. Schmidt doesn't drop anything worthwhile.
  • Trade the Hare Meat icon.png Hare Meat to the ??? to spawn Blind Moby, a Pugil NM.
    • It will drop an item called Glocolite icon.png Glocolite (G). If you're in a party with other players, everyone doing this Mission will require one, so defeat the NM as many times as required.
    • You must wait 3 minute between pops.
  • Trade the Glocolite icon.png Glocolite to any Gate Guard to finish the Mission.
