Walkthrough

• Talk to Hishahma for a cutscene.
  • You must choose a beastman type to investigate.
  • You are to report two of the beastman's weaknesses.
• Pop the appropriate NM and fight it to see what its weaknesses are.
  • Weaknesses change weekly. When you fight the mob, if it gets intimidated, that's a weakness.
  • While the weaknesses themselves may not change, the exact details of how they work (i.e. which angle the WS is performed at, which WS, etc.) may change with each pop.
  • Apparently, you and everyone in your party with the quest active will only get that one opportunity to discover both of its weaknesses; zoning or waiting doesn't allow any of you to repop the NM.
• Return to Hishahma and report the weaknesses you found.
• Talk to Hishahma again after JST midnight and zoning for your reward.
  • If you get one weakness right, you get 200 Imperial Standing.
  • If you get both right, you get a ??? Box.
