Walkthrough
Note - Everything except the opening cutscene can be done as another job.
The Beginning
- First, speak to Nanaa Mihgo in Windurst Woods (J-3) and you will get a cutscene (you might have to talk to her a few times to get it to activate). At the end of the cutscene you will receive three key items: Gang Whereabouts Note, First Forged Envelope and Second Forged Envelope.
- Then talk to her two consorts, Cha Lebagta and Bopa Greso who are just south of Nanaa Mihgo at J-4. They tell you where to find the thieves you need to find.
Sauromugue
Note: You will need to beat a Goblin with insanely high evasion here, so bring friends or a high-level player or two, preferably mages. See Climbpix Highrise for more information on the mob.
- Head to Sauromugue Champaign to try to climb up the towers to meet the first thief. You will need to go around to the towers and touch a ??? at their base until you spawn Climbpix Highrise(Can be solo'ed by a level 75 with moderate difficutly). There are 6 towers in all that are represented by dark dots on the Sauromugue Champaign map.
- G-6
- G/H-8
- I/J-7
- J/K-8
- K-9
- I-10 (Can only be reached by going through Garlaige Citadel, passing through the third Banishing Gate and exiting into Sauromugue Champaign. Alternatively, you can also reach this tower by using the Cavernous Maw in Sauromugue Champaign (S).) If you get this tower and you don't have a team to go through Garlaige Citadel you can wait 1 day and try again with the first 5 towers.
- The tower that spawns Climbpix Highrise is random, so just check them all until he pops, and then take him out (you will hear some like "Something is coming" when you get the right tower). Lot on the Grapnel that drops, as you'll need this to reach the thief. Clicking the ??? again after defeating the goblin will respawn the goblin, whether you have the grapnel or not.
- Next, go to the tower at I/J-7 and take off all your equipment so that you're not wearing anything. Trade your Grapnel to the ??? and watch the cutscene to get your key item: First Signed Forged Envelope.
Gambling
- Go to Lower Jeuno (H-10) and talk to Sniggnix (in the back hallway at Muckvix's Junk Shop). He will play a little game of 'roll-the-dice.' All you have to do is keep rolling against him till you beat him. Then he'll tell you to go to Dangruf Wadi to gamble some more.
Dangruf Wadi
Note: You will need the Gausebit Grass, Rock Salt, and Lizard Eggs for this part. You can buy some of each, or just farm them from the mobs in Dangruf Wadi. There is no set number as to how many you need - it all depends on how lucky you are.
Note: Neither zoning nor logging out will clear wins. You can save time by using Escape to make the trip from Grasswix to Eggblix shorter.
Note: There are a number of geysers found in Dangruf Wadi that you can use to ride up the cliff they're next to. If it seems you've reach a dead-end, look around for a geyser.
Note: If you somehow happen to get the same roll as one of the goblins it wil be counted at a loss at least for Grasswix
- You now get to gamble against 3 more Goblins. You have to beat them all in a row, without failing on one in between. For example: if you beat the first and second goblin, then failed to the last, you would have to start over with the first again.
- Each time you roll against a Goblin you have to give them their favorite item. Once you've rolled, win or lose, the item is gone. If you have to roll against him again, you will need another of that item. Here are the Goblins' locations and items:
- First: Saltvix
- Item: Rock Salt (Can be farmed/stolen from Wadi Crabs found at H/I-12)
- Location: The ??? in the western part of the room at G-7 (technically the ??? is in F-7)
- Second: Grasswix
- Item: Gausebit Grass (Can be farmed from Wadi Hares found at G-7)
- Location: The ??? at F-4/5 where the underground tunnel comes out
- Third: Eggblix
- Item: Lizard Egg (Can be farmed/stolen from Steam Lizards found at G-5)
- Location: This is a hidden one - go to the area that spans across F-11 and G-11. Take the southern most part of F-11, there is a hidden cave- just walk through the west wall. Follow the tunnel until you reach a hole in the floor. Drop down this hole and head south to the corner at E-12. This is where the ??? for the last goblin is.
- Go to these ??? in the order listed and trade each one their respective item. Then roll against them and hope that you win. Keep trying until you've succeeded against all three in a row!
Little Sister
Note: You will need a party (or a high-level) to defeat the next mob—see Gambilox Wanderling for more information on her. It should be noted that Gambilox Wanderling spams both Bomb Toss and Goblin Rush (particularly after using Mighty Strikes). Lower levels may want to stay back to avoid AoE damage.
- Once you have the gambling goblins beat, gather your party and head to J-3 in Dangruf Wadi. Ride the geyser up the cliff and follow the path until you zone out into North Gustaberg.
- Head to the east and follow the river all the way down to the waterfall (stay on the south side of the river).
- You'll find a ??? down here—click on it and spawn Gambilox Wanderling.
- Soloable by most Jobs 75 - (see testimonials)
WARNING: Builds up HIGH resistance to Sleep/gravity and bind! Began to wear off less than a second after it was cast after a 30-minute solo.
Finishing Up
- Head back to Lower Jeuno and trade your Regal Die to Sniggnix to get the key item: Second Signed Forged Envelope.
- Head back to Windurst Woods and speak to Nanaa Mihgo again to get your Rogue's Bonnet!
