The altepa quest is just sneaking yourself looking for a ??? point. There's nothing to kill for it so I don't really see how it can be so bad that a WHM or RDM or /WHM, /RDM couldn't do it.

I guess it's just because I have no map for the area, that I feel rather nervous about going round there solo without one.

I actually got a little started on doing it..... and I think it was either yesterday or the day before. I got so far down the hallway of the caves in there, (where I passed what looked like a group partying there at the time) and reached the end where there was a drop at the right hand corner there. (with an antican mob stood near it)

Now, I was trying to follow the instructions for this from the "alla" link I noted earlier, and I didn't really understand it. It says something about falling down the eastern or western side of the drop, and I'm rather confused, because it's not like a round hole.... its rectangular and the only way to go down it, is to just drop straight down! You can't drop East or West, so I don't know what on earth "alla" is going on about!

When I got there though, I'm quite certain that I had something casted on me from a mob somewhere in the vicinty, (most likely antican) so without knowing where to go next, I just decided to drop down..... then decided to warp back to Eastern Alteppa where I set my hp. Was too scared to continue on from there unfortunately!

Oh, and use ffxi-atlas.com to get around as they should have all the possible ??? marked.

Oh....okay.... do you SEE any ??? marked on here?

Quicksand Caves

I certainly don't! Unless I need glasses.

The only ??? I see on there are 2. One is marked for a NM called "Tribunus Vll - l" (3rd map down) and the other one is for a quest related monster called "Girtablulu" (6th map down) And I certainly don't think either of those 2 have anything to do with the Tele Alteppa quest at all!

It would be very handy if all the ??? were marked on there for this patricular quest, as it would help me to find them easily, but unfortunately, they aren't.

I guess I could still try and get a few maps printed though, but I'm not sure how much ink I have.

I'll try and do it a couple of times, and see how far I get.
