ALL CONFIRMED

- Fight ANY kind of leeches, it may drop an stone item. (May need to be clear weather when killing them) *confirmed*

- Trade the stone to a door of "House of the Hero" in WindWalls *confirmed*

- Event, quest offered. *confirmed*

- Go to different areas of the world when there is a certain weather element present (need 7 different ones). (Can even use chocobo as well) The catch is, the event will only happen during area change (teleport don't count) so you have to *enter* the area when the weather is already present.

(For example, if the weather changes from "Earth" to "Wind", just exit the area and come back)

- After experiencing all 7 elements, go back to WindWalls to finish the quest

ive heard 10 different quests today, far.

this really sounds fake, but im sure you can back it up?

sorry for doubting, but ive been hunting for 7 hours...

Leon
04-15-2003, 08:45 AM
Weather Elements? You mean you need all the elemental crystals like water, earth, fire, wind, Light, dark and....errr....something :sweat:

Or is it find an area with some weather and find a ??? that is spawned when the weather starts?

I think what it means is that you have to bring the stone to experience 7 different weather effects in the game... (Never mind about the ??? part, don't need it)

(Someone just confirmed it on baha-web.)

04-15-2003, 09:02 AM
so, any info on requirements?

Seishi
04-15-2003, 09:14 AM
What are the 7 elementals?

Light, Dark, Water, Earth, Ice, Fire.....Wind? I've never seen Wind elemental before...or maybe I forgot

Light Elemental usuallly spawn in Qufim
Dark Elemental in Zvahl
Water Elemental in La Theine
Earth Elemental usually in Eldieme
Ice Elemental in Beaucedine/Xarcabard
Fire Elemental in Valkurm/CrawlerNest

Wind Elemental???

Elite
04-15-2003, 09:16 AM
I've been going for the elements all day, it hasnt been working well for me..

Sting
04-15-2003, 09:17 AM
im did see wind element some time in LaTheine but maybe im wrong. :sweat:

EDIT:
What do you need from the element? the stone they drop? why not just get in AH? :sweat:

Seishi
04-15-2003, 09:18 AM
Oh yeah, Wind Elemental is in La Theine...I haven't been to LaTheine for a while now since most of my lvl area are at Crawler'sNest and Eldieme :sweat:

Btw, Far...
You said that we need 7 different elementals for the stone, do we have to kill the elemental or just go into the area with the elemental in it? If it's killing the, it will be difficult with Dark Elemental :sweat: :sweat:

Elite
04-15-2003, 09:21 AM
I've seen the water element in la thiene, wind in tahrongi I think. Does this include special elements such as ordelles or xarcabard?

Orko
04-15-2003, 09:34 AM
Late last night someone was shouting about the leeches thing... said you had to kill them in Quifm. They didn't mention the Element part (And by Element Tongyang you meant different weather, not actual elementals I think?), but.... I worked hard tryin' to get it last night, and saw one person who had become a summoner, although they weren't summoning anything. :sweat: They also wouldn't tell anybody on how to become a summoner (were probably bombarded with tells). Anyway, keep us updated! :biggrin:

04-15-2003, 09:59 AM
sounds like a pain the ass to get it

04-15-2003, 10:08 AM
Has anyone yet figured out or confirmed how to complete the quest after obtaining the stone and experiencing the elements??

anavrin
04-15-2003, 10:22 AM
got 7 of us fighting thread leeches in jugner right now... they dont want to drop >.<

Magi
04-15-2003, 10:27 AM
Im in valk killing the leeches there :biggrin:

tongyang
04-15-2003, 10:27 AM
The 7 weather elements :

Pleasant - Orange
Rain - Blue
Lightning - Purple
Wind - Green
Snow - Water
Earth (Dusts?) - Yellow
Fire - Red

Good luck :)

Cedric-Archaon
04-15-2003, 10:29 AM
Has any of you guys gotten the item yet? and if so what leeches did you kill to get it.

tongyang
04-15-2003, 10:35 AM
The places I've heard that dropped the item:

Ordelles, Rolanberry, Bosteneiau...

Other places may drop too.

neoshock
04-15-2003, 10:36 AM
Ok!! Me and my LS friend have each gotten the item:

the item is called Karbuncle's (something... lol, dunno the translation)

I found it in Qufim, and my friend found his in Shakrahmi

oh yeah, and the requirements are Level 30+ in one or more jobs, and this item.

Cedric-Archaon
04-15-2003, 10:59 AM
WE JUST SAW CARBUNCLE, holy crap that was amazing, some dude ran past us with it.

Maxim
04-15-2003, 11:58 AM
For people who want to do the quest, there's an NPC at Selbina who's standing on top of a house who can tell you what weather it is anywhere in the world, assuming you've been to that place already. I can't remember the name of the person, but I remember seeing her yesterday and I figured she was just another pointless NPC, but I suppose she's now very useful.

dbeeo
04-15-2003, 12:01 PM
addition: there is also a NPC in up jeuno (near the item shop from the entrance, if not mistake)....

same here.... i always thought the NPC is pointless...

Wind - Latheine, Ordelles, Buburimu
Fire - Valkurm, Crawlers Nest
Light - Qufim, Delkfutt, Fei Yin?
Dark - Ranguemount, Xarcabard, Zvhal
Ice - Xarcabard, Zvhal

I was told you have to enter a map with the element on it by RE-ENTERING the area with the weather effect you want. (enter the map when its going on)

Any confirmation of this?

Buttermilk
04-15-2003, 01:28 PM
lol, some sites are now reporting that the drop rate for leech item is 1% - which means, you need to kill 100 of those for a chance of a drop - if you are lucky:)

Good luck everyone! I wonder who will be the first summoner among importers~~.

I hear the biggest issue is COMPETITION - with cain struggling to find enough leeches to kill even at 6AM JP time in ordelles;;

Jei
04-15-2003, 01:51 PM
TT my LS went to shakrami 12 people ... still not got any drop after 3 hours hunting. we have 2 60 THF with us.

Ok so ummm if gotta experience dark and ice elements... how is a lvl 30 supposed ot get to xacabard through ranguemont lol i guess ill just have to find someone to take me ^^

rukawa2k
04-15-2003, 04:41 PM
I don't think it's depends on the elementals. I think it's depends on the weather... so there's no need for dark elementals. I got all the lights filled up except Snow weather. Where can I found a place that snows??

neoshock
04-15-2003, 04:59 PM
for those of you having trouble with competitors with your leeches

Dangruf wadi has Stickpin (?) s, theyre weak as hell and there's hardly any ppl there (on my server anyway, heh)

I got mine at qufim, after 2 hours of fighting those leeches..

Eriwilde
04-15-2003, 06:23 PM
I asked two persons hanging out in Lower Jueno last night to go to Qufim together to get the item.

Neither of them had been informed of the quest yet.

We hunted for Leechers there for 3 hours. We had many compititors there. I found a white mage in AF! :eek:

And the item was dropped only once then. And I lost in lotting in. :mad:
One of us didn't need the item, but another person needed it. He promised he would help me to get another item tonight. I hope we can get one then...
Two of as had Thief as support job of LV15 with Treasure Hunter ability.

Drop rate seems to be very low. Tonight will see harsh competition again.

:sweat:

rukawa2k
04-15-2003, 06:30 PM
Yeah... drop rate is exteme low... There was another lv60 thief had been there for 5 hours and didn't get at all.. he was so pissed off :) anyways.. i still need get the snow weather area... anyone can help ? :)

Ice - Xarcabard, Zvhal

Saiyu
04-15-2003, 06:51 PM
Ice, also Beacedine glacier.

When you have all 7, DON'T go back to Windurst, instead find Carbuncle at G-6 in La Theine. Trade the gem to the ??? and you will obtain summoner job plus Carbuncle.

rukawa2k
04-15-2003, 07:00 PM
thanks for the reply. Is ranguemont the only way to get there??

Saiyu

can teleport Vazu, but you need the Vazu crystal first

I had a whole room to myself for 4 hours... no drop. There's been reports of drops from wadi, though, so I can only conclude that the lower the level, the lower the drop rate. Wadi would mean the lowest rate out of all places.

rukawa2k
04-15-2003, 09:14 PM
guys and girls, here's a friendly reminder :) When finish collecting the 7 lights (whatever that is) You need go to la theins around G6-G7 and trade the orb to ??? after that, u can change to summoner in moogle house. enjoy :)

Razz
04-15-2003, 09:18 PM
Thank you square!

for giving me a splitting headache after killing at least 200 leech with no drop!

OFFICIALLY the worst quest...

in any game...

rukawa2k
04-15-2003, 09:21 PM
I have heard that only certain kind of leeches will drop the item. Monst people saying Poison Leeches will drop.

04-15-2003, 09:44 PM
Been hunting those damn bastards since about 12 in the afternoon with mumm in my team but no drop TT. I advise that NO ONE under lvl 42 go to Shakhrami to hunt them there because all the monsters would aggro a lvl 41 white mage there. Gonna go try again in a few.

-CARN-

went to give it a try coz nothing much to do, hmm, i really didn't know if i was camping NM or fighting leeches, coz competition was funny ^^

Soniti
04-15-2003, 09:50 PM
hmmm I went there like lvl 28-29, and I only aggrod the Scorpions... most odd.

04-15-2003, 10:01 PM
The expansion coming out tonight should take away some competition to the other job quests. Quifim was a very ugly place last night.

Eriwilde
04-15-2003, 11:24 PM
I got this information from Japanese boards.

Œ©‚È‚¯‚ê‚΂Ȃç‚È‚¢“V‹C‚Í?AŒõ‚ƈňȊO‚Ì‚V‚Â?A‚‚܂è ?A?i”M”g?A?á?A•—?A?»?o?A—‹?A‰J?A?°‚ê?j‚Å‚·?I

Weathers we must see are 7 weathers exceeding light and darkness.
(Heat wave, snow, wind, sandstorm, thunder, rain, fine)

Therefore, Aurora (the weather at Qufim and other places) might be excluded from the list.

Gantoris
04-16-2003, 12:06 AM
So do we not need to see Dark and Light weather conditions...just those that you mentioned Erwilde?

Saiyu
04-16-2003, 12:23 AM
Good weather
Sun
Rain
Thunder
Snow
Sandy (Earth)
Wind

i've been killing that thing for 27 hours. no drop at all.

fuc square.

Maxim
04-16-2003, 01:51 AM
Yeah, I was helping a friend look for it yesterday when the sun was still up, and now the sun is starting to come up again and still no drop. Whoever said it was 1% overestimated the drop rate percentage. I'll just wait a while until a good portion of the people get the item, since all that competition for leeches is enough to make anyone tear their hair out.

Jei
04-16-2003, 01:59 AM
the weather thing sounds more like a creative idea for a quest... but item hunting isn't, really...

04-16-2003, 02:02 AM
omg don't do the smn quest,is so boring i spended 8hr hunting leechs at valkurm dunes,and not a f???ing single drop,this is so pissing me off:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad::mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

But it seems people are getting Summoner.. I didnt expect it to be easy.. i dont know why everyone is getting all mad at square.. Its like jedi's in SWG =P.. Anyways.. Good luck at your quests everyone

Sting
04-16-2003, 02:10 AM
yes this is realy bad...im hunt 20+ hours too over 150+ leechs in different areas and no fu**** drop, some of my jp. friend cleared the quest and im did see carbuncel.
Damnit square, im dont understand why it must be SO hard. Its only a job. If it would be for AF or something i would understand, but for job. ....bahhh :dead:

[3viL]3D
04-16-2003, 02:21 AM
Went to tomairamai with 4 people... solo the whole area, got 2 drops in 4 hrs... (5 mins a pop X 4 pop places = 48 X 4 = 192 about) Luckily I am one of the 2, so I spent about 2 more hrs to get summoner quest done...
5 People in Evil already got summoner now, and increasing... So it is not impossible, but takes alot of time... The lvl up system is really really screwed up at lv61+ anyway... not gonna bother with my bard...

Xuande
04-16-2003, 02:33 AM
It does indeed take a lot of time. I put about 8 hours into getting carbuncles ruby. If you just want summoner for the novelty, try putting it off until competition dies down, which is the biggest problem. If you really need it for another reason, hang in there. It certainly is possible to get the item.

Advice:

LV5+ WAR sub for taunt (No exception. Not even Dia)
Shakhrami seems to be high drop rate
If you're willing to put time into it, dont give up! Or don't try at all..

Sting
04-16-2003, 02:42 AM
yep somehow square screwed with this update....invis/sneak i terrible now. Lvup system shit now too, and now this quest so terrible drop rate...square is making ffxi life realy hard.

edit:
ppl who can not play 10+ hour to get the quest item are realy screwed.

Jonnyram
04-16-2003, 03:02 AM
Moan moan moan.
What's up with the level up system? Is it an experience problem?

I don't have a problem with what they've done to sneak/invisible. It was too easy to go anywhere before. People were going places they shouldn't have been. This makes you be a bit more careful.

As for summoner quest. I partied with 3 people in Qufim and we got 2 drops in the first hour or so, then Qufim got really packed with warriors so it became impossible to even fight leeches. The drop rate in Pashhow seems terrible, though, if they even drop. I really like the weather idea too. But it will be tiresome if you have to do that for every summon ;)

Gackti
04-16-2003, 03:15 AM
got the job,
drop rate is about 1 hour / 1 if not crowed
best place to go
get a WHM/RDM go to Crewer's Nest, go out to Rolenberry Field H-11 I believe... (you have to go Field->Nest->Field)
less popel there

i spent about 7-8 hours intotal today to get the quest done...
it is all worth it when i saw my first summon pet pop out~

itazura
04-16-2003, 03:20 AM
12 hours ... WHERES MY DROP?! i cant believe how ridiculously difficult this is~~ >_<
/cry ?R( ‚s°‚s?jÉ
and seeing a taru with carbuncle running just behind or along side it is just about too much cuteness for me...

Sheila
04-16-2003, 03:43 AM
1% drop is for real, no matter what level apparently..

good for finding NPCs that tell weather “V‹C—\•ñ

Nadyxes
04-16-2003, 05:55 AM
you only need earth, water, fire, lighting, wind, and ice

ice =beaudince and xarcabard
lighting= pashow, jugner, davoi
earth=kon, valkrum and other places
water= latheine, and other places
fire= oz, rolenberry, valkrum
wind= latheine, tagarongi and other places

after you find all 6
go to G-6
and trade the ruby
and you get carbuncle for first summon

also you can hunt yugudos in OZ for the wind elemental summon
not as strong as carbuncle tho

lvl 1 move for carbuncle = heal health 10 ~ 6mp
lv 5 move for carbuncle = poison claw attack ~ 11mp

2hour use it then
summon get special move
move to ur summon move list and added move is there
it used up all my mp and killed enemy in 1 hit

Sting
04-16-2003, 06:04 AM

I think you didn't notice when you recieved the "calm" or normal weather one.

Jonnyram
04-16-2003, 07:13 AM
Looks like Ninja could be hella hard. The unofficial reports are saying you have to go to Korroloka and Norg to get items. Korroloka may be easy, but Norg? I don't think so :(

Nadyxes
04-16-2003, 08:13 AM
ya normal day makes it 7 types of weather

for lvling summoner
weapons are dagger, 2hand staff, 1hand staff

summon menu:
summon atack
summon disenage
summon disappear
summon special attack

sub whm for smn
it is the bst sub i think
cuz smn has bad defense

use hp boosting stats for summoner
my hp is 66/66 Mp is 102/102 at lvl 7
use mp boosting stats if not taru

fight with the summon
i got 75-120 exp per battle
if u fight tsyou
be very careful
use cure often or u will die
the summon takes hits but enemy goes back to you

1 mp per sec drains

if summon dies ~ you must recast to get it back
you CANNOT sit down when you have summon
you will get red msg telling you ~you cant sit down
if you want mp call back your monster

summon does more damage then you

btw 6.5 hours hunting in shakrami for quest item
100-200 leeches killed

Nadyxes
04-16-2003, 08:43 AM
magic/items i dont think can be used on summons

use any special attack~must wait 50-60 secs for next move

fire day~ is very rare

if u attack monster , summon auto attacks with you

if u get aggroed and you didnt attack, summon starts to attack before you do

summon has health

aggro usually goes back to you even tho summon does more damage, so watch ur health when lvling

i died a few times because of tsyuo

Seishi
04-16-2003, 08:56 AM
Still didn't get the ruby yet, been fighting leeches more than 10 hours and making my head very very dizzy from running back and forth and eventually died in the new area under San Castle :sweat:

I'm gonna try Shakrami/Qufim today when I log on...

Sting
04-16-2003, 09:23 AM
20+h and (im dont know i did stop counting at 200) 200+ leechs later still no drop, im think i do something wrong....:confused:

If someone needs another place to go to find snowy weather you can go to batallia:biggrin: But it rarely snows there!

Jei
04-16-2003, 10:49 AM
so my record is 32 hours for the rudy. I'm having an exam in the next 2 hours but i was in shakrami all night...

my 60THF friend came help me in the hunt. he /3SMN and summonned a carbunkle.
With my Refresh magic, his MP is all time 100% full and can keep the carbunkle forever. ^^; kinda fun.
anyway that's a level 1 summon pet.... dunno how fast the high level ones would drain our MP

only one advice for getting the item

NEVER GIVE up ~ if u really want it :)

Razz
04-16-2003, 11:27 AM
If anyone is desperate, take some fishing equip and go to rolanberry, E-9, where the fountain of promises is. You can fish for leech there. Good luck!

I've given up til the rest of my server gets the item. I'll level my DRK and DRG til then :confused: :dead: :o

anavrin
04-16-2003, 12:29 PM
If you don't give up, you'll get it. Simple as that.
This quest is just an evil test of patience.

That having been said, im going to explode if i dont see a fire elemental.

Question, do you have to actually SEE the elemental? Or just have the weather effect on the map..

OMG, I have been on for 10 hours just to get 2 more elements and I still need 1. I was told that the ice one would be the hardest but that proved to be wrong, it was really easy, the little bastard that is killing me is the stupid fire o ne. I was with Anavarin for hours trying to get it and at the end I screwed up and Ana was able to get it but not me ><. I am gonna go back in a few and try to get it. I am gonna take a rest first.

To get the element weather, zone into the weather. If it changed and you were in the area, zone out and back in.

Ecko and Anna: sorry you guys couldn't reach it on time, so frustrating that Fire one. people who got it fast were definate flukes.

some random stuff
Stats - what affects it? int/mind/chr? Being elvaan with whm sub gave a ton of MND as usual. Early stats seem similar to BST.

2h staff seems to be their best weapon, second best is 1h staff and dagger.

Need whm/mnk/pal sub to use their exclusive 2h staff skills though, ex: earth crasher. Making whm sub best.

Summon magic skill goes up each time you summon, no other ability seems to up it. Stronger the summon being called, more chance of skill up.

Yesterday i saw an "air spirit" (it seems an air elemental but it has the name in green). That is a particular summon of the summoner?...it wasn't clickable to see what it was. =/

Yeah, you can get the scroll for lv1 air spirit in oz. To summon macro it, "kaze shouryou shoukan"

people who got the item~ did you stay in one place for a certain amount of time or move around and go to different areas (e.g. qufim to buburimu).
been doing this for about 27 hours now.. this is ridiclous. im gonna go back at 2am JST tomorrow and try my luck. hopefully competition will have died down even more by then..

I'm guessing me getting the item was a complete fluke then O_o cuz i only fought 20-30 leeches b4 item dropped ^^.

BTW: I still don't get something about the weathers.

I talked to the guy in Hall of heros and showed the ruby, something happened then event over.

Then i went outside to experience "Fine" weather and was expecting to see an event, but never saw one.

I'm saying this because somewhere in this thread someone mentioned fine weather. If thats not the case, then are the following the weathers i need to experience?:

Light
Dark
Wind
Earth
Fire
Water
Ice
Thunder

This is all the weather types, but there are 8 of them, kinda confused :confused: :sweat: Appreciate any help :handsdown

Earth, Wind, Thunder, Rain, Snow, Fire, Calm weather is what you need.

No dark, no light.

Everyone in my LS is getting it at Bostanieu. Might as well get exp and have unlimited leeches while doing it.

sorry T.T

we were waiting in rolanberry when 2 fire elementals appeared, one in meriphataud and one in valkurm. ecko said meriph, but my ls mates were yelling at me to head to valk. maybe if we went to meriph we would have had more time... T.T

I'm still not sure if i got it from there or when i zoned on chocobo when i went with sheila hours prior. i never did get the cutscene, but alas, lv8 summoner. it -is- the most fun of all the jobs.

TT i tried to fetch thunder element in qufim. for some reason me and the people all around me all not getting events.

2 minutes running in and out and we got the emssege waring about maintenence telling us to log out... dunno if that the cause...

The thunder weather condition at Qufim won't work for some reason (maybe it's a bug). For now your best bet is to catch thunder weather at either Jugner, Sauromugue, or Konschtat.

it doesn't work becoz Qufim is being counted as half a dungeon, and you cannot get weathers from the dungeons, so it won't work in Bedo, Davoi, Oz, Zvahl, etc (half a dungeon becoz you cannot use escape in Qufim)

Edit: since Ranguemont is a dungeon, so i think it won't work there either, sorry for the post before

Yhea, I don't think Ranguemont works BUT if you enter Ranguemont Pass it does work, that is where I got ice for both I and hamasaki at 2 different times.

I got a question about Summoner's 2hr special.

Astral Flow. What the hell does it do?

The only notable difference i saw was in the "special attack" menu, another special was added for the summon. In normal cases its cure but this does an attack, is this the 2hr special for smns?

Jei
04-18-2003, 01:23 AM
yes. 2 hour ability of summoners is to enable the summonned beast's super attack.

I just got mine on a “y—j“ú so the "fire day only" isn't true. Prolly a rumor someone started in hopes of clearing off some competition.

Damn tho... That was some hella hard competing...

After killing many poison leeches, the Leech King spawned and started whooping the ass of an unwary monk. Be careful when you're in shak hunting leeches. You'll be taunting so hard you might piss this guy off... You don't want to if you're level isn't high :sweat:

Both 'Fire'?@?i?u‰Î?v) day and 'Stone' (?u“y?v) seem to be the days when Leeches drop ruby. So we'd better hunt for Leeches only on either of these days.
