Serious trouble with SAM quest, impossible to complete now

[Starwind8748]

So, I decided I should become a RNG/SAM. So, I started the SAM quest. First thing you must do is travel to Norg and speak to a few people. Then I recieve two items which I need in order to fight monsters. One item is iron fillings which I need to trade to ??? in Konschtat to fight a monster called Forger. Upon beating forger, he is supposed to drop an item you need to complete the SAM quest. The other item I recieved was a little sappling bag I need to rcieve an item in Zitah. So I go trade my iron fillings to the ??? in Kon and fight forger. Forger drops the item. I roll for it, since I was in a PT with some oher people. I transport one person back to Jeuno then another person had to take a choco back to Jeuno. Then I transport myself back. Then I just realized I only rolled for the item and didnt recieve it yet, so when I left Kon the item fell. So now, I dont have the iron fillings to fight forger again. The person I recieve the fillings from will not give me another one. So essentially, I am screwed out of being a SAM. I talked to a GM but they said that they can not offer in game hints. I can think of one way to get the forger item, but then somebody else wont be able to become a SAM.

Is there anyway I can fight forger again without the fillings? This really sucks

I'm sure I remember reading that you can get the items again by trading two rocks to the guy who gave you them first of all. I'm not completely sure but I know that you can definitly get the items again.

Hmm, two rocks? The person I need the iron fillings from is Aeka. Anyone know about these rocks? I'm desperate

Sorry I can't help If you were on Rag I would help you redo the quest if needed.

I ran into this problem too, and lost my item. I also felt implied to throw away my lil baggy becuase that might make the NPC's give me another, so i was out both items. When you speak to the NPC, he mentions the item he gave you then 2? other items. I know for the baggy you have to give him 3 rocks that cost around 50k on Rag. One 30k rock and 2 10k rocks. Im not sure what items he wants for the forger rock, but if you go look for the item in the AH im sure ull find it. Goodluck.

thanks for mentioning rocks. I took a closer look at what Aeka said and she did mention another item. I was able to buy it for 7000 gil and get the iron filings back. Thanks for the help
