*Talk to any [[Windurst Gate Guard]] to accept the mission.

*Go to the [[Rhinostery]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Waters| map=South | pos=J-9 | text=Windurst Waters (J-9)}} and talk to [[Leepe-Hoppe]] at the top of the building (take the side stairs).

[[File:Giddeus1.png|thumb|Giddeus, upper portion.]]

*Travel to [[Giddeus]] via [[West Sarutabaruta]], ({{Location Tooltip|area=West Sarutabaruta|pos=F-8|text=F-8}}).
**If you already have the warp, the [[Outpost]] at ({{Location Tooltip|area=West Sarutabaruta|pos=H-6}}) is the fastest access point.
*Follow the path, always turning left at each intersection, until reaching ({{Location Tooltip|area=Giddeus|map=Ground Level|pos=H-7}}).
*Give the {{KeyItem}}[[Food Offering]] to the [[Yagudo]], [[Laa Mozi]], at the cave entrance.
*Go back along the same path, still making left turns, until you reach ({{Location Tooltip|area=Giddeus|map=Ground Level|pos=G-7}}) and give the {{KeyItem}}[[Drink Offering]] to [[Ghoo Pakya]].

=== Return to Windurst ===
*Return to the roof of the [[Rhinostery]] to trigger a cutscene with [[Leepe-Hoppe]].
**''Optional: Speak with [[Leepe-Hoppe]] for extra dialog.''
*Report to any [[Windurst Gate Guard]] to complete the mission.

== Notes ==
*At level 10, enemies in [[Giddeus]] will aggro but are [[Easy Prey]]. Avoid pulling large groups, especially near the two Yagudo NPCs.
*At level 13, the mission can be completed with minimal [[aggro]].

''Please note the "Notes" section below for information on aggressive monsters encountered during this mission.''

===Windurst===
* Talk to any [[Windurst Gate Guard]] to accept the mission.

* Head to the [[Manustery]] ({{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Woods|pos=H-9|text=Windurst Woods, (H-9)}}) and speak with [[Apururu]].
* She will give you six [[Dark Mana Orb|Dark Mana Orbs]] and instruct you to energize them within the [[Outer Horutoto Ruins]].

===East Sarutabaruta===
* Warning: Some monsters in this area will aggro up to around level 10.
* Travel to the Marguerite Tower (#4) at {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|text=East Sarutabaruta (J-11)}}.
* Before entering, talk to [[Pore-Ohre]], who will give you the {{KeyItem}}[[Southeastern Star Charm]].

===Outer Horutoto Ruins===
{|
|align="left"|
* Inside, you must charge all six [[Dark Mana Orb|Dark Mana Orbs]] by examining the {{Location Tooltip|area=Outer Horutoto Ruins|pos=|text=6 Ancient Magical Gizmos|map=Marguerite Tower}} found throughout the ruins.
* Each time you examine a Gizmo, you’ll see a cutscene as the orb becomes energized.
*There are six Gizmos in total:
** Four located at the corners of the large central chamber.
** Two more hidden behind secret doors along the north and south walls — examine each door to open it.

* After charging all six orbs, head east and look for a crack in the wall. Inside, examine the '''Gate: Magical Gizmo''' to trigger another cutscene.
** There is a [[Balloon]] in this room that may aggro lower-level party members.
** If you receive the message “The door is firmly shut.”, return and speak with [[Pore-Ohre]] again before proceeding.

* After the cutscene, you’ll receive the message: “The six Mana Orbs have been successfully energized with magic!”
* Re-examine each '''Ancient Magical Gizmo''' to recollect your orbs, which are now {{KeyItem}}[[Mana Orb|Glowing Mana Orbs]].

* ''Optional:'' Exit the ruins back into [[East Sarutabaruta]] for an additional cutscene featuring the Ace Cardians.
** If you left via [[warp]], [[escape]] etc. without seeing the cutscene but still want to see it, re-enter and recollect the orbs before reporting back.

* Those around level 21 or higher will avoid aggro from all enemies. Alternatively, you may use [[Silent Oil|oils]] and [[Prism Powder|powders]], though this may be costly for new adventurers.
* Completing this mission with a party is the safest approach for those who are lower-level.

* Head to the [[Manustery]] ({{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Woods|pos=H-9|text=Windurst Woods, (H-9)}}) and speak with [[Apururu]].
* She will give you six [[Dark Mana Orb|Dark Mana Orbs]] and instruct you to energize them within the [[Outer Horutoto Ruins]].

===East Sarutabaruta===
* Warning: Some monsters in this area will aggro up to around level 10.
* Travel to the Marguerite Tower (#4) at {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|text=East Sarutabaruta (J-11)}}.
* Before entering, talk to [[Pore-Ohre]], who will give you the {{KeyItem}}[[Southeastern Star Charm]].

===Outer Horutoto Ruins===
* Inside, you must charge all six [[Dark Mana Orb|Dark Mana Orbs]] by examining the {{Location Tooltip|area=Outer Horutoto Ruins|pos=|text=6 Ancient Magical Gizmos|map=Marguerite Tower}} found throughout the ruins.
* Each time you examine a Gizmo, you’ll see a cutscene as the orb becomes energized.
*There are six Gizmos in total:
** Four located at the corners of the large central chamber.
** Two more hidden behind secret doors along the north and south walls — examine each **targetable door** to open it.

* After charging all six orbs, head east and look for a crack in the wall. Inside, examine the '''Gate: Magical Gizmo''' to trigger another cutscene.
** There is a [[Balloon]] in this room that may aggro lower-level party members.
** If you receive the message “The door is firmly shut.”, return and speak with [[Pore-Ohre]] again before proceeding.

* After the cutscene, you’ll receive the message: “The six Mana Orbs have been successfully energized with magic!”
* Re-examine each '''Ancient Magical Gizmo''' to recollect your orbs, which are now {{KeyItem}}[[Mana Orb|Glowing Mana Orbs]].

* ''Optional:'' Exit the ruins back into [[East Sarutabaruta]] for an additional cutscene featuring the Ace Cardians.
** If you left via [[warp]], [[escape]] etc. without seeing the cutscene but still want to see it, re-enter and recollect the orbs before reporting back.

===Windurst===
* Return to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Woods|pos=H-9|text=Manustery}} and speak with [[Apururu]] to deliver the Glowing Mana Orbs and complete the mission.

==Notes==
* Within the main room, you’ll encounter [[:category:Goblins|Goblin]]s (sight) and [[:category:Bat Trios|Bat]]s (sound) that aggro; [[Battue Bats]] do not. Behind each cracked wall, two [[Balloon]]s (sight) will also aggro.
* Those around level 21 or higher will avoid aggro from all enemies. Alternatively, you may use [[Silent Oil|oils]] and [[Prism Powder|powders]], though this may be costly for new adventurers.
* Completing this mission with a party is the safest approach for those who are lower-level.

**<u>''Optional:''</u> Speak with [[Sama Gohjima]] outside the entrance for a hint about the minister’s location.

*Go down the stairs to the main chamber, then head south.
*Look for a cracked wall at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=H-9}}).
**if you see dirt instead of brick floors, you've taken the wrong cracked wall opening.
*Go through and head east (left from your view).
Examine the '''Gate: Magical Gizmo''' at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=I-10}}) for a cutscene.

*Search the six '''Ancient Magical Gizmos''' until you find the {{KeyItem}}[[Cracked Mana Orb]]:
** ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=G-8}}), ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=G-9}}), ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=H-8}}), ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=H-9}}), ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=I-8}}), ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=I-9}})
** The Cracked Mana Orb is randomly assigned to an Ancient Magical Gizmo for each party member.

*Return the Cracked Mana Orb to [[Hakkuru-Rinkuru]] in the Orastery ({{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7}}) to complete the mission.

==Notes==
*NPCs near the [[Windurst Gate Guard|Gate Guards]] will (usually) comment on the mission you're on.
*The title earned depends on which gate guard you first spoke to. See [[:Category:Titles#Windurst%20-%20Burute-Sorute|Titles]] for details.
*Gate Guard and Gizmo cutscenes cannot be rewatched at a [[Melody Minstrel]] or [[Goblin Footprints]].

==Background Info==
The title seems to be a play on “The Harrad Experiment,” a 1973 film about free love.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

2025-03-12T20:30:24Z

Xitomatl.:

{{Guide}}[[Category:Guides]]
{|
Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#Windurst_Woods|the first Mission]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.
<p>

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' To efficiently travel around Windurst there are "''Warp Tarutarus''" positioned around the city. Their locations are [[Warp_NPC| shown here]]</div></blockquote>

|}
{|
|align="left"|

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
|}

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====
*Once you have reached job level 5, successfully executed a [[Weapon Skill]], and obtained a '''[[Rarab Tail]]''', it's time to head back into the city.
|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Hint:''' Only one type of monster in the vicinity drops [[Rarab Tail]], but ''which'' type may surprise you...</div></blockquote>
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Weapons are the most important way to improve your damage, while [[food]] is the second most important--even moreso than armor</div></blockquote>
|}
==Tutorial Quest #2==

===Windurst Woods===
* Talk to [[Selele]] and advance the ''Tutorial Quest''. She'll instruct you how to craft an item. Do so, then progress to the stage of the ''Tutorial Quest'' where she asks us to visit the [[Auction House]]
{|
|align="left"|
* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}
**''You can walk there if you prefer to get your bearings around the city, but somewhere nearby us is a [[Warp Taru]] if you prefer quicker travel...''
|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' You can obtain [[Windurst Missions|Nation Missions]] by speaking with a [[Gate Guard]] stationed at any of the city gates, or at the center of the city, outside the entry to [[Heavens Tower]]</div></blockquote>
|}

===Port Windurst===
{|
|align="left|
*Once at the [[Orastery]] head inside and speak with the mages until you get a clue to the whereabouts of the minister. '''(cutscene)'''
*After the cutscene, take a detour down an alleyway and behind a warehouse to {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=G-5}}
*You will encounter a gang of children. Speak to their leader. '''(cutscene)'''
*Once you've handed over your '''Rarab Tail''', you can continue to speak to them for another quest.
*Return to the [[Orastery]] and speak with the [[Warp Taru]] up on the roof
|}

===Windurst Walls===
{|
|align="left|
*You'll be whisked away to to the roof of the [[Auction House]] in [[Windurst Walls]]. Proceed below and inspect the '''Auction Counter''' to try it out.
**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.
*Walk South from the Auction House & enter [[Windurst Woods]]

|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Usually on the [[Auction House]] it's most efficient to sell items 12 at a time, in stacks. Listing single items is very time consuming so consider hanging onto them until you have completed a full stack.</div></blockquote>
|}

===Windurst Woods===
*Continue walking south until you can take a detour West (right). This path leads to your [[Mog House]], your ingame residence. Continue inside.
**Take a break here to store all items that you aren't using in the [[Mog Safe]] to free up inventory space.
** Set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave by inspecting the cyan-colored crystal.
**Make sure to keep and store any [[Beastmen's Seal]]s you have found. Later on, they will offer a chance to obtain [[BCNM|fabulous rewards]]
*Head back to the Eastern gate to complete the ''Tutorial Quest'' with '''[[Selele]]'''.
*We're rewarded with a free, incredibly useful item from the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]''.
**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.
*When ready, depart the city.

==Windurst Mission 1-1==

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
*Our destination is {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|text=entry tower #5}} of the [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]]
*Equip and use your EXP band.
*Along the way we're going to start encountering monsters above our level, and aggressive monsters who will attack unprovoked. You're going to want to [[check]] each monster you encounter to determine how strong it is relative to you, and avoid or kill monsters as you go, appropriate to your level.
**Bat trios aren't aggressive, but single bats are.
*Our next quest objective is '''4x [[Wild Onion]]'''.
**These are dropped by [[Goblin Thug]]s so keep an eye out for them.
*Crawler type [[mob]]s are a good source of profit
*Try to reach '''level 6''' along the way.
**''If you'd like less of a challenge, add 2 levels to each recommendation''
*Once you've reached {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|}}, the cat outside the entry might have a clue as to the whereabouts of the minister.

|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' When the game says a monster is an "even match," it really means it. Your chances of survival are probably 50% or less. It's recommended to stick to ''"decent challenge"'' or ''"easy prey"'' monsters.
<br>Try not to get into any fights you can't finish--Once a fight starts with a monster, the only escape is changing zones or death.
</div></blockquote>
|}

===Inner Horutoto Ruins===
{|
|align=left|
*Proceed below and search for where the minister lies in hiding.
* If you enter a gray, rocky cave area--a “beetles burrow”--''do not proceed further into it!'' The minister is not this way.
* After you find the minister and get a '''cutscene''' you are tasked to search the '''6 Ancient Magical Gizmos''' around the room until you obtain {{KeyItem}}[[Cracked Mana Orb]]
*While you do so, try to reach '''Level 8'''
*Once found, [[warp]] or walk back to town.
*Once in town, use the [[Warp Taru]] beside the roundabout to reach [[Port Windurst]]. Head to the [[Orastery]] to complete Mission 1-1!
|}

==Windurst Mission 1-2==
*Speak with a '''[[Gate Guard]]''' to obtain Windurst Mission 1-2: [[Windurst_Mission_1-2|''The Heart of the Matter]]''
*Proceed to the [[Manustery]] in {{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Woods|pos=H-9|text=Windurst Woods (H-9)}} and talk to [[Apururu]].
*Our next destination: {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|text=entrance #4 }} of the [[Outer Horutoto Ruins]], at ({{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|}}).
*You must speak with the taru, [[Pore-Ohre]], who is stationed at the entrance to the tower.
*Be very careful of [[Balloon]] type mobs. They are stronger than other mobs, aggressive, and lie hidden inside.<br>
*Bat ''trios'' continue to be passive, but ''single'' bats are aggressive.</div></blockquote>

===Outer Horutoto Ruins===

{|
|align=left|
*Often there will be other players here of your level. If you'd like, see if they want to team up.
*Our main goal is to inspect all '''6 Ancient Magical Gizmos''', placing our '''Dark Mana Orbs''' inside.
**''Two are hidden''
*Once we've done so, proceed inside the doorway on the eastern wall '''(cutscene)'''
*Retrieve all '''6 {{KeyItem}} [[Mana Orb|Glowing Mana Orbs]]''' from the '''Ancient Magical Gizmos'''
*Try to obtain 4 [[Wild Onion]]s before we leave, or plan to buy them on the [[Auction House]]
*Continue leveling here until you're '''level 10'''
*Head up the stairs and exit the ruins '''(cutscene)'''
*Return to town.
|}

===Windurst Woods===

*Return to [[Apururu]] at the {{Location Tooltip|area=Windurst Woods|pos=H-9|text=Manustery (H-9)}}
*Turn-in your 4 [[Wild Onion]]s to the children in [[Port Windurst]] to complete [[Know One's Onions]]

==Windurst Mission 1-3==
{|
|align=left|
*Obtain Windurst Mission 1-3: ''[[The Price of Peace]]'' from the [[Gate Guard]] in [[Port Windurst]].
*If Windurst controls [[West Sarutabaruta]], now is a great time to speak with the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' and pick up the [[Supply Run Mission]] because the [[outpost]] is on the path of the next Mission.
*If you haven't already, it's time to learn to start using the rest of the wiki, your invaluable companion to ffxi! Follow the wiki instructions for [[Windurst Mission 1-3]], leave through the Western gate and '''level to 11''' once inside [[Giddeus]]
|}

Congratulations! You've completed the guide and are now in a commanding position to progress in the game. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we all have.

*Go to [[Fei'Yin]] located in {{Location|Beaucedine Glacier|J-4}}. for a '''cutscene'''
**Enemies in Fei'Yin detect by sound, and several detect spellcasting.
**Once inside, go east to {{Location|Fei'Yin|K-8}}. There are 2 dolls here. Inspect the '''Cermet Gate''' on the Eastern wall. This is the entrance to [[Qu'Bia Arena]].
*Enter [[Qu'Bia Arena]] and clear the BCNM ''"The Rank 5 Mission.".''
**You only need to kill the Archlich to win.
**You will be facing [[Archlich Taber'quoan]]. The Archlich will spawn with 2 [[Ancient Sorcerer]]s. [[Ancient Warrior]]s will also spawn in the hallway and run to help of the Archlich during the fight.
**The Archlich is a [[BLM]], and will cast spells like [[Sleepga II]] and [[Freeze]], he may also use [[Manafont]].
**The lesser skeletons have very little [[HP]] and can be easily taken out by an AoE spell.
**Focus attacks on the Archlich, a [[Paladin]] with [[Invincible]] is useful for managing the many extra mobs. A [[Monk]] using [[Hundred Fists]] also shines in this fight, due to the skeleton blunt penalty.
*When you win, you'll be given another '''cutscene''' and receive {{KeyItem}}[[Burnt Seal]].
*Return to the '''Vestal Chamber''' at the top of [[Heavens Tower]] to complete the mission.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Xitomatl.: /* Inner Horutoto Ruins */

{{Guide}}[[Category:Guides]]

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#Windurst_Woods|the first Mission]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

===East Sarutabaruta===

* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====
*Once you have reached job level 5, successfully executed a [[Weapon Skill]], and obtained a '''[[Rarab Tail]]''', it's time to head back into the city.

* Talk to [[Selele]] and advance the ''Tutorial Quest''. She'll instruct you how to craft an item. Do so, then progress to the stage of the ''Tutorial Quest'' where she asks us to visit the [[Auction House]]
{|
|align="left"|
* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}

===Port Windurst===
{|

*Once at the [[Orastery]] head inside and speak with the mages until you get a clue to the whereabouts of the minister. '''(cutscene)'''

*You will encounter a gang of children. Speak to their leader. '''(cutscene)'''
*Once you've handed over your '''Rarab Tail''', you can continue to speak to them for another quest.
*Return to the [[Orastery]] and speak with the [[Warp Taru]] up on the roof

===Windurst Walls===
{|
|align="left|
*You'll be whisked away to to the roof of the [[Auction House]] in [[Windurst Walls]]. Proceed below and inspect the '''Auction Counter''' to try it out.
**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.
*Walk South from the Auction House & enter [[Windurst Woods]]

===Windurst Woods===
*Continue walking south until you can take a detour West (right). This path leads to your [[Mog House]], your ingame residence. Continue inside.
**Take a break here to store all items that you aren't using in the [[Mog Safe]] to free up inventory space.
**Make sure to keep and store any [[Beastmen's Seal]]s you have found. Later on, they will offer a chance to obtain [[BCNM|fabulous rewards]]
*Head back to the Eastern gate to complete the ''Tutorial Quest'' with '''[[Selele]]'''.
*We're rewarded with a free, incredibly useful item from the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]''.
**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.

**Bat trios aren't aggressive, but single bats are.

*If Windurst controls [[West Sarutabaruta]], now is a great time to speak with the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' and pick up the [[Supply Run Mission]] because the [[outpost]] is on the path of the next Mission.
*If you haven't already, it's time to learn to start using the rest of the wiki, your invaluable companion to ffxi! Follow the wiki instructions for [[Windurst Mission 1-3]], leave through the Western gate and '''level to 11''' once inside [[Giddeus]]

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

2024-10-03T17:25:08Z

Xitomatl.: /* East Sarutabaruta */

{{Guide}}[[Category:Guides]]
{|
Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#Windurst_Woods|the first Mission]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' To efficiently travel around Windurst there are "''Warp Tarutarus''" positioned around the city. Their locations are [[Warp_NPC| shown here]]</div></blockquote>

|}
{|
|align="left"|

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.
|}

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====
*Once you have reached job level 5, successfully executed a [[Weapon Skill]], and obtained a '''[[Rarab Tail]]''', it's time to head back into the city.
|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Hint:''' Only one type of monster in the vicinity drops [[Rarab Tail]], but ''which'' type may surprise you...</div></blockquote>
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Weapons are the most important way to improve your damage, while [[food]] is the second most important--even moreso than armor</div></blockquote>
|}
==Tutorial Quest #2==

===Windurst Woods===
* Talk to [[Selele]] and advance the ''Tutorial Quest''. She'll instruct you how to craft an item. Do so, then progress to the stage of the ''Tutorial Quest'' where she asks us to visit the [[Auction House]]
{|
|align="left"|
* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}
**''You can walk there if you prefer to get your bearings around the city, but somewhere nearby us is a [[Warp Taru]] if you prefer quicker travel...''

|}

===Port Windurst===
{|
|align="left|
*Once at the [[Orastery]] head inside and speak with the mages until you get a clue to the whereabouts of the minister. '''(cutscene)'''
*After the cutscene, take a detour down an alleyway and behind a warehouse to {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=G-5}}
*You will encounter a gang of children. Speak to their leader. '''(cutscene)'''
*Once you've handed over your '''Rarab Tail''', you can continue to speak to them for another quest.
*Return to the [[Orastery]] and speak with the [[Warp Taru]] up on the roof
|}

===Windurst Walls===
{|
|align="left|
*You'll be whisked away to to the roof of the [[Auction House]] in [[Windurst Walls]]. Proceed below and inspect the '''Auction Counter''' to try it out.
**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.
*Walk South from the Auction House & enter [[Windurst Woods]]

|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Usually on the [[Auction House]] it's most efficient to sell items 12 at a time, in stacks. Listing single items is very time consuming so consider hanging onto them until you have completed a full stack.</div></blockquote>
|}

===Windurst Woods===
*Continue walking south until you can take a detour West (right). This path leads to your [[Mog House]], your ingame residence. Continue inside.
**Take a break here to store all items that you aren't using in the [[Mog Safe]] to free up inventory space.
**Make sure to keep and store any [[Beastmen's Seal]]s you have found. Later on, they will offer a chance to obtain [[BCNM|fabulous rewards]]
*Head back to the Eastern gate to complete the ''Tutorial Quest'' with '''[[Selele]]'''.
*We're rewarded with a free, incredibly useful item from the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]''.
**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.
*When ready, depart the city.

==Windurst Mission 1-1==

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
*Our destination is {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|text=entry tower #5}} of the [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]]
*Equip and use your EXP band.
*Along the way we're going to start encountering monsters above our level, and aggressive monsters who will attack unprovoked. You're going to want to [[check]] each monster you encounter to determine how strong it is relative to you, and avoid or kill monsters as you go, appropriate to your level.
**Bat trios aren't aggressive, but single bats are.
*Our next quest objective is '''4x [[Wild Onion]]'''.
**These are dropped by [[Goblin Thug]]s so keep an eye out for them.
*Crawler type [[mob]]s are a good source of profit
*Try to reach '''level 6''' along the way.
**''If you'd like less of a challenge, add 2 levels to each recommendation''
*Once you've reached {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|}}, the cat outside the entry might have a clue as to the whereabouts of the minister.

*Our next destination: {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|text=entrance #4 }} of the [[Outer Horutoto Ruins]], at ({{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-11|}}).
*You must speak with the taru, [[Pore-Ohre]], who is stationed at the entrance to the tower.
*Be very careful of [[Balloon]] type mobs. They are stronger than other mobs, aggressive, and lie hidden inside.<br>

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#Windurst_Woods|the first Mission]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

===East Sarutabaruta===

* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.

* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

2024-10-01T06:26:32Z

{{Guide}}[[Category:Guides]]
{|
Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#3.1|the first Mission]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.
<p>

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' To efficiently travel around Windurst there are "''Warp Tarutarus''" positioned around the city. Their locations are [[Warp_NPC| shown here]]</div></blockquote>

{|
|align="left"|

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.
|}

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====
*Once you have reached job level 5, successfully executed a [[Weapon Skill]], and obtained a '''[[Rarab Tail]]''', it's time to head back into the city.

|}
==Tutorial Quest #2==

===Windurst Woods===
* Talk to [[Selele]] and advance the ''Tutorial Quest''. She'll instruct you how to craft an item. Do so, then progress to the stage of the ''Tutorial Quest'' where she asks us to visit the [[Auction House]]
{|
|align="left"|
* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}
**''You can walk there if you prefer to get your bearings around the city, but somewhere nearby us is a [[Warp Taru]] if you prefer quicker travel...''

===Port Windurst===
{|
|align="left|
*Once at the [[Orastery]] head inside and speak with the mages until you get a clue to the whereabouts of the minister. '''(cutscene)'''
*After the cutscene, take a detour down an alleyway and behind a warehouse to {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=G-5}}
*You will encounter a gang of children. Speak to their leader. '''(cutscene)'''
*Once you've handed over your '''Rarab Tail''', you can continue to speak to them for another quest.{{verification}}
*Return to the [[Orastery]] and speak with the [[Warp Taru]] up on the roof
|}

===Windurst Walls===
{|
|align="left|
*You'll be whisked away to to the roof of the [[Auction House]] in [[Windurst Walls]]. Proceed below and inspect the '''Auction Counter''' to try it out.
**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.
*Walk South from the Auction House & enter [[Windurst Woods]]

|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Usually on the [[Auction House]] it's most efficient to sell items 12 at a time, in stacks. Listing single items is very time consuming so consider hanging onto them until you have completed a full stack.</div></blockquote>
|}

===Windurst Woods===
*Continue walking south until you can take a detour West (right). This path leads to your [[Mog House]], your ingame residence. Continue inside.
**Take a break here to store all items that you aren't using in the [[Mog Safe]] to free up inventory space.
**Make sure to keep and store any [[Beastmen's Seal]]s you have found. Later on, they will offer a chance to obtain [[BCNM|fabulous rewards]]
*Head back to the Eastern gate to complete the ''Tutorial Quest'' with '''[[Selele]]'''.
*We're rewarded with a free, incredibly useful item from the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]''.
**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.
*When ready, depart the city.

==Windurst Mission 1-1==

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|

*Our destination is {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|text=entry tower #5}} of the [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]]
*Equip and use your EXP band.
*Along the way we're going to start encountering monsters above our level, and aggressive monsters who will attack unprovoked. You're going to want to [[check]] each monster you encounter to determine how strong it is relative to you, and avoid or kill monsters as you go, appropriate to your level.
*Our next quest objective is '''4x [[Wild Onion]]'''.
**These are dropped by [[Goblin Thug]]s so keep an eye out for them.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

{{Guide}}

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
If you're rank 1 and want to use this guide to level a second job, you can. Get to level 5 and then proceed immediately to [[#Windurst_Mission_1-1]]
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|

* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.

* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}

**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.

**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

2024-09-28T19:40:01Z

Xitomatl.: /* Windurst Woods */

{{Guide}}
{|
Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
This guide will still work well if you team up. Feel free to bring some friends.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.
<p>

==The Adventurer Coupon==
{|
|align="left"|
*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

* Next, proceed to {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods}}

<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' To efficiently travel around Windurst there are "''Warp Tarutarus''" positioned around the city. Their locations are [[Warp_NPC| shown here]]</div></blockquote>

|}
{|
|align="left"|

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.
|}

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====
*Once you have reached job level 5, successfully executed a [[Weapon Skill]], and obtained a '''[[Rarab Tail]]''', it's time to head back into the city.

<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Hint:''' Only one type of monster in the vicinity drops [[Rarab Tail]], but ''which'' type may surprise you...</div></blockquote>

|}
==Tutorial Quest #2==

===Windurst Woods===
* Talk to [[Selele]] and advance the ''Tutorial Quest''. She'll instruct you how to craft an item. Do so, then progress to the stage of the ''Tutorial Quest'' where she asks us to visit the [[Auction House]]
{|
|align="left"|
* Let's get started on the main story. Speak with the nearby ''Gate Guard'', [[Rakoh Buuma]]. She will assign you Windurst Mission 1-1: [[Windurst_Mission_1-1|''The Horutoto Ruins Experiment]]''
* We must head to the {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=E-7|text=Orastery in Port Windurst (E-7)}}
**''You can walk there if you prefer to get your bearings around the city, but somewhere nearby us is a [[Warp Taru]] if you prefer quicker travel...''

|}

===Port Windurst===
{|
|align="left|
*Once at the [[Orastery]] head inside and speak with the mages until you get a clue to the whereabouts of the minister. '''(cutscene)'''
*After the cutscene, take a detour down an alleyway and behind a warehouse to {{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=G-5}}
*You will encounter a gang of children. Speak to their leader. '''(cutscene)'''
*Once you've handed over your '''Rarab Tail''', you can continue to speak to them for another quest.{{verification}}
*Return to the [[Orastery]] and speak with the [[Warp Taru]] up on the roof
|}

===Windurst Walls===
{|
|align="left|
*You'll be whisked away to to the roof of the [[Auction House]] in [[Windurst Walls]]. Proceed below and inspect the '''Auction Counter''' to try it out.
**If you would like you can sell your reward from the [[Truth,_Justice,_and_the_Onion_Way!|previous quest]] for a nice chunk of change.
*If you happen to have found any beaten-up pieces of wayward mail the nearby postman [[Ambrosius]] will be interested to see them returned.
*Walk South from the Auction House & enter [[Windurst Woods]]

|align="right"|
|width="40%"|
<blockquote><div style="background:#F2FEF6; border:2px dashed #3CA463; line-height:10x; padding:2px; text-align: center;">'''Tip:''' Usually on the [[Auction House]] it's most efficient to sell items 12 at a time, in stacks. Listing single items is very time consuming so consider hanging onto them until you have completed a full stack.</div></blockquote>
|}

===Windurst Woods===
*Continue walking south until you can take a detour West (right). This path leads to your [[Mog House]], your ingame residence. Continue inside.
**Take a break here to store all items that you aren't using in the [[Mog Safe]] to free up inventory space.
**Make sure to keep and store any [[Beastmen's Seal]]s you have found. Later on, they will offer a chance to obtain [[BCNM|fabulous rewards]]
*Head back to the Eastern gate to complete the ''Tutorial Quest'' with '''[[Selele]]'''.
*We're rewarded with a free, incredibly useful item from the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]''.
**[[Exp Band|There is a difference]] between the three rewards, but don't concern yourself too much with which you choose. Recharging is the same price as a new ring so once you've used it up it is completely safe to dispose of and try one of the others. You'll find which you like best.
**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.
*When ready, depart the city.

==Windurst Mission 1-1==

===East Sarutabaruta===
{|
|align="left"|
*Our destination is {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|text=entry tower #5}} of the [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]]
*Equip and use your EXP band.
*Along the way we're going to start encountering monsters above our level, and aggressive monsters who will attack unprovoked. You're going to want to [[check]] each monster you encounter to determine how strong it is relative to you, and avoid or kill monsters as you go, appropriate to your level.
*Our next quest objective is '''4x [[Wild Onion]]'''.
**These are dropped by [[Goblin Thug]]s so keep an eye out for them.
*Crawler type [[mob]]s are a good source of profit
*Try to reach '''level 6''' along the way.
**''If you'd like less of a challenge, add 2 levels to each recommendation''
*Once you've reached {{Location Tooltip|area=East Sarutabaruta|pos=J-7|}}, the cat outside the entry might have a clue as to the whereabouts of the minister.

===Inner Horutoto Ruins===
{|

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''

All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information.

As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==

*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.

** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].

**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].

Efficient Windurst Starting Guide 1-11

Hello and welcome. Here is an extremely streamlined leveling route for beginning Windurst citizens on the Horizon server. By the end of this guide you will have:

*'''Level 11 '''
*'''Rank 2'''--having completed the first three Nation Missions
*'''25,000 gil''' worth of items in your posession, as well as the nation ring, ''and'' an item that grants '''bonus experience.'''
<p>
The guide is geared both towards brand-new and returning players. If you are not new to the game, you're going to value this guide for its efficiency. All of these things are accomplished--at the same time! If you're new, I've tried to provide you with all the necessary information. If you follow this guide, you'll be methodically introduced one-by-one to a variety of the game's concepts and challenges while exploring its vibrant world, and you will end up ahead of the average player.
<p>
As fitting to this game I've tried to retain a little mystery and discovery. I won't hand you ''every'' answer, but I ''will'' give you all the tools you need to attain them yourself. You'll benefit from paying attention to what NPCs say, experimenting, clicking links in the guide, and thinking things through. That said, if you ever get stuck, try a /shout ingame or ask on the discord server. Help is never far away.
<p>
By the end of the guide you'll have been introduced to the three major gameplay loops of the game: advancing the story, making gil, and leveling up--and you'll be in a great position to enter party-based play with others. From there it is your destiny. Please enjoy.

==The Adventurer Coupon==

*To begin, open the map and proceed to the point labeled with a green and yellow "beginners'" arrow. Your first task is to teach yourself how to [[trade]] your '''[[Adventurer Coupon]]''' to the NPC located there.
**[[trade|Trading]] is the main mechanism in the game to complete quests or give NPCs the items they desire. You'll be doing this often so make sure to learn it well.

==Tutorial Quest #1==
* In [[Windurst Woods]] find the Tutorial NPC, '''[[Selele]]''', located beside the gate at {{Location Tooltip| area=Windurst Woods|pos=K-10}}
* Proceed through the ''[[Tutorial_NPC#Windurst|Tutorial Quest]]'' until she asks you to get a [[Weapon Skill]].
** [[Harara, W.W.]] is a ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'', which means she can give you [[Signet]].
**''Always'' try to have [[Signet]] when fighting monsters
* Now that we have the [[Signet]] buff, it's advisable to set your [[Home Point]] here before you leave:
**Inspect the huge cyan-colored crystal.

* Time to leave the city and begin your first foray of combat.
*Once outside, figure out how to eat a strip of your [[Meat Jerky]].
*Learn how to equip your weapon, and consume your spell scroll if you're a mage.
*Your primary goal is to stay in this close vicinity and slay easy, level 1 monsters until you reach level 5. Your second goal is a '''[[Rarab Tail]]'''. Keep slaying until you find it. We will need this for an upcoming quest.
*If you stray too far you will absolutely be ruthlessly slaughtered by a monster.
*Once you reach a high enough skill level with your weapon, a [[Weapon Skill]] will appear in the menu. Practice using it.
====Level 5====

**Take a look at the other items the ''[[Conquest Overseer]]'' offers. Some are quite good, and many are in demand on the [[Auction House]] for tidy profits.
**If you can afford it purchase an [[Instant Warp]] scroll from the ''Overseer''. You should ''always'' have a warp in your inventory--don't leave the city without it! Sooner or later it will save you a long walk.
