Finish

• Finally, talk to Halver to complete this mission and gain San d'Oria Rank 3.
  • To unlock the next mission, you need to fill your rank bar, either by trading crystals to a Conquest Overseer (6 crystals was enough to unlock the next mission) or repeating a repeatable mission.

Note: This mission is essentially identical for all 3 nations. While each nation requires you to travel to the other two, they all follow the same path. San d'Orians and Windurstians who choose Bastok first will do the same things. Therefore, it IS possible to group people together from different nations to ultimately end up on the same BCNM fight. A Windurstian may choose to do the Bastok portion first, and San d'Orian portion second, while a Bastokan can do the Windurstian portion first, and the San d'Orian portion second. In this scenario, Windurstians and Bastokans can enter the same BCNM for the San d'Orian portion.
Note 2: Players who have already completed this mission (for any nation) may enter any of the BC, regardless of their current or former allegiance.
