I still don't get how to do Stock & Awe I. I couldn't find any harvesting points in West Sarutaruba [S]

Editaru: I checked near the Giddeus entrance area, on the top Plateau. Thank you for the tip Mhurron. I'll check near the Twinkle Tree.

I ran by one on by first trip to Windurst [S], IIRC, it was near the Twinkle Tree.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

I actually went back to West Sarutabaruta present to do the harvesting - seemed safer.

Just to add, there's another way to get Saurta Cotton.

Steal it from mandies in Sarutabaruta present.

Ok, I wondered what that fire elemental was doing next to the campaign office thingy in Windurst Waters [S].

BTW, does anyone know what the [S] is supposed to stand for?

They were just hanging out until someone noticed they weren't supposed to be there.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

And was the big one named Carbuncle? Or was someone on Fairy just hiding inside of it?

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

No, there was one called Carbuncle on Bahamut.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

I saw it named nothing, Carbuncle and several other things. I saw one in San d'Oria that was also named nothing.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

I saw them from a distance, but was too busy to come take a closer look. It doesn't surprise me that one would be named Carbuncle, there was a fire elemental named Carbuncle hanging around one of the crags some time ago on Midgardsormr. I'll post screenshots when I get home.

I believe "Shadowrealm", quoting someone I can't remember..

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 26)

hahaha, the old "Elementals showing up randomly named Carbuncle" glitch? Wow, I haven't heard of that in years. Wonder what the hell causes it.

I believe it happened near one of the beaches in Hell On Earth once, funny sight.

Anyone tried trading a Virus Core to one?

Unless it askes for a different item each time, the NPC doesn't want Cotton. He wants Fresh Marjoram, and you can't purchase it from the AH. When you harvest the item, you get a key item which is required.

I have no idea if this would work in the present either. I found several Harvest Points around the Tree as well, and eventually - after about 20 trades - got the key item and the Marjoram. Traded it to the guy, and got my points & EXP.
