Walkthrough

• Talk to Jaucribaix as a Samurai; he asks you to bring him the Mumeito he gave you when you became a Samurai and a Handful of Crystal Scales.
  • If you dropped the Mumeito, Ranemaud will sell you another one for 30,000 gil after you have accepted the quest.
• To get the scales you need to find a Sack of Fish Bait, which is dropped by Goblin Robbers in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.
  • Note to those having trouble finding the Goblins: I found mine at H-8 north of Outpost.
• Trade the Sack of Fish Bait to the ??? at (E-8) near a lake in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah to spawn a pugil NM: Isonade.
  • You can spawn this NM on any job.
  • Use Sneak to prevent the NM from aggroing the trader.
• Defeat Isonade and re-examine the ??? again to receive the Handful of Crystal Scales (key item).
  • If you change areas or lose connection, you will need another Sack of Fish Bait to spawn and defeat Isonade again, be sure to check your ??? after defeating Isonade.
  • If you have multiple people on the quest, you only need to kill Isonade once. Therefore, one Sack of Fish Bait is enough for your entire group.
• Return to Norg and trade the Mumeito to Jaucribaix to complete the quest.
