:: (1) Introduction ::
I am Apocalypse, Dark Knight of the Odin Server. This simple
guide was made to
help other aspiring Dark Knights out there
by outlining the Artifact Armor quests and providing steps on
how to go about
them.
Finally got my full Dark Knight AF Armor, and decided to make a
simple post
detailing the 6 AF Quests.
:: (2) Updates ::
Version 1.00 : First draft of guide.
:: (3) The AF Quests ::
Warning-- This guide is based on my memory and notes which I
took down while
doing the quests, but my handwriting is terrible, so take my
info with a grain
of salt. The Recommended PT figures are based on what I felt
when doing the
quests. It never hurts to be safe, so try to get good help. I
will also include
what I had when I completed the quest. --Warning
-------------
DRK AF 1:: Dark Legacy
Conditions: Level 40 DRK at least.
Quest NPC: Raibaht (Galka in Cid's Lab, Bastok Metalworks)
Quest Reward: LV43 Raven Scythe (Dmg68 Delay528 STR+2 INT2)
(Rare/Ex)
Recommended PT: At least 2 members of LV60 and above. (I had 70
Nin/war,
70Blm/whm, asked them for help on the way to the NM)
Raibaht needs you to find the Book which contains Darksteel Ore
Smithing
Techniques. Find it and return to him.
Steps:
1) Talk to the NPCs in the Blacksmith Rooms of Metalworks, one
of the Galkas
will give you a key item.
2) Take this key item to Windurst and speak to Cochal-Monchal in
Windurst
Waters, if I'm not wrong his loc is in F-8 or the Optistery. He
tells you to
slay Vaa Huja the Erudite in Giddeus to reclaim the Book you
seek.
3) Obtain a Yagudo Cherry from either a merchant or the Auction
House. Journey
to H-14 in Giddeus (where the Votaries, Theologians and Priests
hang out) and
trade the Yagudo Cherry to the ??? in the southwest corner (it's
a hole in the
wall).
4) Vaa Huja the Erudite spawns, kill him. Check the ??? after
the battle to get
your key item (book). You may now return to Raibaht and complete
the quest and
receive your Raven Scythe.
------------------------
DRK AF2 :: Dark Puppet
Conditions: To have completed AF1, and be LV50 DRK at least.
Quest NPC: Cid (Cid's Lab in Bastok Metalworks)
Quest Reward: LV52 Chaos Sollerets (AF boots, Def10 HP+15 MND+5
Enhances
"Arcane Circle" Effect.
Recommended PT: 6 members of LV60+ (I had a 73BLM/WHM,
74WAR/THF, 72 RDM/WHM)
Zeid has sent Cid a letter. The letter tells of how a weapon
created by the
Great Darksteel Blacksmith, Gerwitz, has turned evil and is
somewhere in the
Ordelle's Caves. Journey to Ordelle's to assist Zeid in whatever
way you can.
Steps:
1) Buy/Craft a Darksteel Ingot.
2) Enter Ordelle's Caves and there will be a cutscene. After
that, journey to
the deepest part and fall through the hole there. There is a ???
in this room.
3) Trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? and a NM called
Gerwitz's Axe will
spawn. Kill it, and you will get the Axe.
4) Find a 2nd ??? and trade this newly obtained Axe to it. A NM
called
Gerwitz's Sword appears. Kill it. You get the sword as an item.
5) Find the 3rd and final ??? and trade the sword you got from
the last NM
battle to it. A NM called Gerwitz's Soul will spawn. Slay it and
you're done.
6) Exit the Ordelle's Caves from the zone where there are
Napalms, and a
cutscene will follow. Congrats you get your boots then and
there. This quest
automatically develops into AF3, and thus there is no need to
visit Cid again.
-------------------------
DRK AF3 :: Blade of Evil
Conditions: To have completed AF2, and be LV50 DRK at least.
Quest NPC: Quest continues from AF2
Quest Reward: LV60 Chaos Burgeonet (AF helm, Def23 HP+12 STR+4,
Dark Magic
Skill+5 Enhances "Souleater" Effect)
Recommended PT: 12 members of LV60+ (I did it together with a
raiding PT of 12,
levels ranging from 55-70, most were 60+)
Gerwitz's Scythe runs amok. You are to lure it out with the
blood of a powerful
Quadav where the crystal lines converge, or something like that.
Steps:
1) Head to Beadeaux. There is a cutscene with Zeid. Find and
slay any Topaz
Quadav till you obtain its blood. (it is not a key item, its a
normal item.)
2) Head to the 7th floor of Delkfutt's Tower, the room you need
to go to is an
isolated circular room with no entrance except a teleport. You
must go to the
8th floor and take another teleport back down to the 7th. The
isolated room is
on the northeast part of the map of 7th floor.
3) Have one of the DRKs doing the quest, or yourself, trade the
blood to the
??? next to the teleport. 3 NMs will spawn at once, 2 are
skeletons and one is
the Gerwitz Scythe itself. This is a pretty challenging battle
but not
impossible if your alliance is strong enough. After the battle
is over, take
the teleport out of the room and a cutscene will follow with you
getting the
helm and some words from Zeid.
NOTE: All DRKs who have activated the cutscene in Beadeaux will
be able to
complete this quest if they are in the same pt/alliance at that
time. The blood
need only be traded once.!
