== Walkthrough ==
#Receive the mission from a San d'Orian Gate Guard.
# - Enter the Chateau.
#Chateau d'Oraguille - Talk to Halver to receive a Letter to the Consuls.
#*He'll tell you to travel to Bastok and Windurst to visit your nation's embassies.
#**There are two possible walkthroughs, depending on if you visit Bastok first or Windurst first.
#**The Bastok-first walkthrough is listed first. Scroll down for the Windurst-first walkthrough.
#*If you are in possession of Rhapsody in White, you will also receive Cipher: Halver.
== (BasW) Bastok Windurst Walkthrough ==
===(BasW) Bastok===
Suggestion: Buy a stack of Pickaxes from shops, to save you the trip of returning to Bastok to purchase more; pickaxes can break when mining and Mine Gravel (you need one) is a high drop, but not guaranteed, per mine attempt. You can also buy Mine Gravel (AH: Others > Misc), but you have to travel to Palborough either way, so it is not worth it usually.
If you've never been to Bastok, you can Unity warp to South Gustaberg ("Content level 99 and below") and head to:
# - Enter the Metalworks.
# - Go in and take a lift to the second floor, and go to the Consulate of San d'Oria (Bastok).
#*Speak to Savae E Paleade for a cutscene.
# - Continue east of the Consulate to enter the Department of Industry.
#*Go up the little stairs and in. It is the door to the right of the President's Office.
#*Speak to Pius.
# - Walk back west toward the lifts to reach the Craftsmen's Eatery, south of CId's workshop.
#*Speak to Grohm for a cutscene. He will give you 3 Pickaxes.
#*Grohm will describe the general process of how to get Mine Gravel & Mythril Sand.
# - Go around the west side of Zegham Hill to enter Palborough Mines in the north.
#*If you are low level, you may want to bring Silent Oils to prevent aggro from the level 21-23 Quadav on the 3rd floor.
# (1st floor) or () (3rd floor) - Locate a Mythril Seam and trade a pickaxe to it.
#*It may take several attempts at the same seam to obtain Mine Gravel.
#*If you receive the message "You find a chunk of mine gravel, but your pickaxe breaks in the process," you do successfully get the mine gravel. Just check your inventory.
#*Each Mine Gravel consumes one inventory slot.
# - Take the elevator to the third floor.
#Palborough Mines () - Trade Mine Gravel to Refiner Lid.
#*Pull the lever on the refiner to activate it.
#*Drop off the ledge to the floor below you.
#*Pull the second lever. Mythril Sand will be put into your inventory automatically.
#**If you forgot to hit the lever after trading the Mine Gravel on the 3rd floor, you have to make a short (1min) run back around and up from the 2nd floor.
#Palborough Mines Floor3 () - Just around the corner from the elevator, you can take a boat to and quickly return to Bastok Mines.
# - Return to Savae E Paleade and trade her the Mythril Sand to complete the Bastok leg of the mission.
===(BasW) Windurst (after Bastok)===
#If this is your first time heading to Windurst, you might go this route:
#*Boat from Selbina to Mhaura -> -> -> = Windurst Woods.
# - Talk to Mourices at the Consulate of San d'Oria (Windurst). Then head north to Windurst Walls.
# - Enter Heavens Tower.
# - Talk to Kupipi (in the clerical chamber straight ahead from entrance) to receive a Dark Key. Make sure you do not skip this step!
#*Everyone in your party must have this item to enter the BC, or have completed 2-3 previously in their current nation of allegiance. One person cannot get others into the fight who do not have the Dark Key, even if they are currently on this part of the mission, unless they have completed the mission previously.
#*If you are in possession of "Rhapsody in White", you will also receive Cipher: Semih.
#*If she gives you Trust: Kupipi, keep talking to her until you trigger the 2-3 mission cutscene.
# - Enter Giddeus.
#*To get there, you can exit from Windurst Waters (Home Point #1) or Port Windurst.
#*Only Invisible is needed in Giddeus. Buffs are removed when you enter the BCNM.
# - Enter Balga's Dais.
#*Follow the west wall until you reach a cave at ().
#*Keep following the west wall except when it goes down at (G-8). You want to exit the cave not go down.
#**
#*.
#*When you enter the tight path, start following the east wall until you find Balga's Dais.
#Balga's Dais - Enter the Burning Circle for a cutscene and to enter the BCNM with Searcher and Black Dragon.
#*If you are solo, make sure you are a minimum of level 30 and on a very strong job, such as a Monk using Hundred Fists. Kill the dragon before killing Searcher, or the dragon will kill you rather easily after Searcher has weakened you. Searcher does not melee you unless you are close to it or it has less than 50% of its HP, so it is relatively inactive if you focus on the dragon first.
#*If in a party with a Black Mage, the recommended order is to kill Searcher, then Black Dragon. The Black Mage should use Elemental Seal + Sleep on the dragon while everyone kills Searcher. Once Searcher is gone, the Black Dragon will die quickly. This dragon has a very potent AOE poison attack that does 10 damage per tick, which makes antidotes necessary. He also may curse the tanks.
#Once the Black Dragon is defeated, another cutscene will happen. When it finishes, you will receive the Kindred crest.
#*A glitch may prevent this cutscene from occurring. If this happens, you can view the cutscene here (begin at 8:53). Alternatively, you can exit the dais and reenter from the main entrance to watch from the Goblin Footprint.
#West Sarutabaruta - Exit the zone into West Saruta. Return to Windurst.
# - Report back to Mourices at the embassy to receive a Kindred Report.
# - Enter Chateau d'Oraguille and report back to Halver to complete the mission.
Additional Information:
After completing the mission, you should probably go talk to Curilla to obtain her Alter-Ego at this point.
