I tried searching, but was unable to find the answers I was looking for.

I need to get the keys to enter Kazham.. I don't much else about this quest other than that. I know that I get one of the keys in Palborough mines, and another in one of the Jungles, and I though I heard that the last one was obtained in Ghelsba?

First question: Are the above key locations correct?

Not quite.

You need 3 keys:

Ghelsba Chest Key. Dropped by Orcish Fighter, Orcish Cursemaker, and Orcish Serjeant in Fort Ghelsba or Yughott Grotto (all 3 enemies exist in both zones).

Giddeus Chest Key. Dropped by Yagudo Votary, Yagudo Priest, and Yagudo Theologist in the back parts of Giddeus.

Palborough Chest Key. Dropped by Mine Scorpion, Scimitar Scorpion, Old Quadav, Brass Quadav, and Copper Quadav in Palborough Mines. Ideal place to hunt for this is near the zoneline to the Waughroon Shrine.

2nd questtion: Do I need to speak to a certain NPC to start the quest, or do I just grab the keys and automatically gain entrance to Kazham?

You don't need to talk to anyone to start the quest, but the NPC to talk to after you've acquired the keys is Guddal, the Galka NPC at the counter in the Kazham Airship Dock in Port Jeuno. He'll tell you which keys to acquire; just trade him the keys after talking to him and he'll give you the key item for Kazham Airship access.

3rd question: If I do need to talk to an NPC, must I speak to that NPC in order to obtain the various keys? Like they wouldn't drop ( I guess I get them from monsters?? I dunno really...) unless I talk to the quest NPC first?

Nope. You can get the keys before talking to him. They're just ordinary chest keys.

4th question: I'm a lvl 24 RDM/ 12 WHM, will I be able to do this quest on my own or will I need help?

Thanks for your help!

You'll definitely want some help. You "can" solo them, but it will be painfully slow and frustrating. A higher level player can destroy an entire roomful of these enemies and get you each key in half an hour or less, luck permitting.
