Walkthrough

• Talk to Jaucribaix in Norg (K-8) as a Samurai; he asks you to bring him the Mumeito he gave you when you became a Samurai and a Handful of Crystal Scales.
  • If you dropped the Mumeito, Ranemaud will sell you another one for 30,000 gil after you accept the quest.
• Obtain a Sack of Fish Bait from Goblin Robbers in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.
  • Many Goblin Robbers can be found at (H-8) north of the outpost.
• Trade the Sack of Fish Bait to the ??? at (E-8) near a lake in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah to spawn a pugil NM: Isonade.
  • You can spawn this NM on any job.
  • Use Sneak to prevent the NM from aggroing the trader.
• Defeat Isonade and reexamine the ??? to obtain a Handful of Crystal Scales.
  • If you change areas or lose connection, you will need another Sack of Fish Bait to spawn and defeat Isonade again. Be sure to check the ??? after defeating Isonade.
  • If you have multiple people on the quest, you only need to kill Isonade once. Therefore, one Sack of Fish Bait is enough for the entire group.
• Return to Norg and trade the Mumeito to Jaucribaix to complete the quest.
