Crystal War Revisited Guide

==Event Schedule==
From Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 01:00 PST until Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 01:00 PST.
==How to Participate==
1. To take part in "Crystal War Revisited," talk to any of the moogles found at the following locations:
*Southern San d'Oria (K-9) 
*Northern San d'Oria (D-8)
*Bastok Markets (G-8) 
*Bastok Mines (I-9) 
*Windurst Woods (K-10)
*North Windurst Waters (F-5) 
2. Raid one of the following beastmen-held positions and obtain a fragment of the Huge Crystal being kept there:
*Ghelsba Outpost (H-8) in hut on the way to Fort tunnel
*Palborough Mines (F-6) 2nd level
*Giddeus (E-12) SW little alcove with a Giddeus Spring in it
*Davoi (E-8)
*Beadeaux Top left of (F-7) first underground level
*Castle Oztroja (I-8)
*Defeating the special Notorious Monsters that can be found wandering about near the Huge Crystals will result in a temporary bonus to the amount of crystal fragments a character can hold for all PCs in the area at that time.
:*It is good to note that you do 'not' need to CFH on any of the NMs, simply kill them and the rest of the area will share the effect.
:*The NMs will repop once per game day, so if you do not see them, come back and try again at the start of the next game day.
:*It is believed that several level 70s are needed to kill the NMs in the higher level dungeons. Be aware of this when attempting to collect crystals.
:*It is very possible that a time limit has been set on the 'collect more' effect gained by killing the NMs. You will not be able to idle in an area and collect more than the normal allotted crystals.
3. Should you safely obtain a crystal fragment, return to town and report back to the Moogle. Work together with as many adventurers as possible to secure victory and earn your nation the title of most powerful among the Allied Forces of Altana!
*Participation in Reliving the Crystal War is unlimited throughout the duration of the event.
