Walkthrough

Gusgen Mines

• You can check which Eco-Warrior quest you are able to take for the current week with Eeko-Weeko, located at Ru'Lude Gardens (I-9).
• Before attempting this quest, designate a leader so that the group functions as a team. This is essential for the success of this quest. Make sure you have a near-full alliance unless you are using two or more Summoners with Ifrit's Astral Flow ability, Inferno.
• Talk to Raifa in the Steaming Sheep Restaurant in Port Bastok at (D-6).
  • If you cannot take the quest, Raifa will say either:
    • Something about the food. (Either you don't have enough fame, you already completed an Eco-Warrior quest this Conquest period, or need to complete Eco-Warrior (Windurst) and/or Eco-Warrior (San d'Oria) before repeating Bastok.)
    • "...Can I have a moment of your time? Oh, but you look busy..." (You are currently involved in another Eco-Warrior quest.)
• Head to Gusgen Mines.
• Talk to Degga at (H-9). You will see him on your right, toward the end of the entry corridor. He will apply an ointment that restricts your level to 20. Buffs are NOT removed with this level restriction, so be sure to apply important buffs before applying the restriction.
  • Note that, once the level restriction is applied, only others with the same level restriction are able to heal or buff you.
  • Make sure everyone gets the ointment. If any alliance member lacks the level restriction, the enemies will not spawn.
  • You lose the level restriction if you are defeated. It may be reapplied at any time by speaking to Degga again once raised.
    • Note: if you Reraise, you keep the level restriction.
  • If you return to your Home Point after being defeated or otherwise leave the area in any way, you lose any progress made in the quest since talking to Degga.
• At the very first 4-way intersection (H-9), go down the east corridor (turn right).
• Turn left at (I-9).
• Turn right at (I-8).
• Follow the path north to (I-6).
• Camp on the eastern side of (H-6).
• The ??? is on a chest in the middle of the deck at (H-6). Have someone with Sneak pop the NMs, or clear the area around the chest if needed.
• When ready, click the ??? to spawn two Pudding NMs.
  • You must have the level restriction applied to spawn and engage this NM.
  • Any player without the level restriction who attempts to assist a player with the level restriction will be instantly defeated.
  • The NMs spawn with aggro toward the party member who spawns them. If Sneak is applied, the spawner is still aggroed. Clicking the ??? removes any Sneak effect.
  • The Puddings are Slime-type NMs. As such, they are weak against magic, but highly resistant to physical attack. As they gain TP, they use a strong version of Fluid Spread, the Slime AOE attack, that causes critical damage to anyone in range. This is a common cause of wipes.
• After the NMs are defeated, touch the ??? again to receive an Indigested Ore.
  • If you leave the zone before checking the ???, you may return to it and check it to receive the key item before the next Conquest tally. You do not need to reapply the level restriction or kill the NM again.
• Return to Degga, who will tell you to return to Port Bastok. Note that you must have the level restriction on in order to speak with Degga, who will remove it for you in the process. You may also remove the restriction by logging out or warping.
• Return to Raifa in Port Bastok (D-6) to receive your reward.
