Walkthrough

• NOTE: After getting your Fighter's Calligae, you must wait until JP midnight to flag this quest.
• Speak to Deidogg, and then go around the corner to the small Galka child, Detzo, who will tell you Deidogg secretly likes Ginger Cookies.
• Trade a Ginger Cookie to Deidogg to be given the quest.
• Zone in to Behemoth's Dominion from Qufim Island. At (G-5) near the tower there is a long tunnel that precedes the zone that is not shown on the map.
• Once in Behemoth's Dominion go to the spot in (J-9) where the ??? is, clear the area of Bats and Weapons, buff and get ready to go.
• Examining the ??? will spawn three Goblin NMs:

• Doglix Muttsnout, a White Mage, who will use Benediction;
• Moxnix Nightgoggle, a Ranger, who will use Eagle Eye Shot; and
• Picklix Longindex, a Thief, who will use Perfect Dodge.

• When all the Goblins are dead, head back to Qufim (re-examining the ??? does not seem to do anything), and upon zoning back to Qufim Island, you will receive a cutscene and, finally, your Fighter's Lorica.

Notes

• The Goblins generally can not be Slept without Elemental Seal.
• The Ranger will only stand and shoot until low health, so it can safely be left for last as long as you don't move into its melee range.
• The White Mage is easy to kite around the rocks in the big room, as it will frequently stop to cast and is known to be resistant to Stun.
• It is not known if the Thief is stunnable or not.
• Calling for help does not work.
• If multiple warriors with this quest active are in the alliance, the NM only have to be fought once.
• If you disconnect during the fight, you will not be able to get the CS. Even if you zone back in quickly and kill the NMs, you will not get it. (This was only discovered solo, it is unclear at this point if you will be unable to get the CS if your party maintains claim on the NMs.)
• If party holds hate you can still complete the mission as long as you get hate on the NM before last one is killed, then touch the ??? as normal. (Died and ran back from Sandy as party kited last NM)
• It is possible that the NMs can only be popped once per game day. Upon reclicking the ??? after disconnecting, the message "The writing is too blurry to read" was instead displayed. Not until 00:00 were the NMs able to be popped again.
