Question about BLM AF3

[peacemaker]

I've traded the silk cloth and got the doll, but I'm a bit confused about what to do next. Am I suppose to go into Toraimarai Canal alone , touch the 2 ??? spots, go back to Heaven Tower to give Kupipi a rolanberry, and then go back to Toraimarai Canal with an alliance to fight the NM? (I can't seem to be able to go into Toraimarai Canal alone because of the 3 mage door in Horoto Ruins)

Or can I just join one of those BLM AF3 shouts and do it at one go?

Thanks.

that doll is AF shoes isnt it? if u got that done u can take the AF3
quest...
What I did is, (since I wasnt a windurstian too), I couldnt get in through the door and I cant get that quest from Kupipi too. So what I did at first (though later become useless) is go with a friend who is Windurstian to help me open and check the first 2 ???s...(when I did this I already have an alliance to go with at night, did this at afternoon lol). You can go and touch the 3 rd one but usually there are Fallen Knights and a scorpion that is quite tough there spawn around the round room.

But later on, most likely your leader of alliance will ask if you already touch the first 2 ???....

by the way dont forget to use your 2 hour ability when checking the second ???

Cool, thanks for the info I will probably just join a AF3 tour then.

Yeah, doll was for AF2, got the boots, but for AF3, Chumimi gave it back to me to bring to the canal after I traded the slilk cloth to the doctor.

So I don't really need to give Kupipi a rolanberry to finish the quest, right?

[Alex]

nope
good luck

thanks

But! If you aren't windurstian and do the toraimarai touch part solo then trade a rolanberry at the tower, you can later pass the magic gate because you are given the daijinamono. I wish I was able to do this because being able to enter toraimarai without being windurstian or 3 mages is too useful.

You can then later go in an alliance for the actual battle. Touching the final part makes the event come, and monster pop. Monster isn't active unless you use magic.

Usually in an alliance everyone waits for all BLMs to touch the final part, make monster pop, then monster fade away. Then on the last person everyone fight the monster.

Ah, thanks for the info, so I will do it after all.

Just to verify, I don't need to officially receive the rolanberry quest from Kupipi, just go in Toraimarai Canal with help from a Windhurstian or 3 mages, touch H-7 ??? and I-9 ??? (with Magic Pool on), go back to Heaven Tower and give a rolanberry to Kupipi, and then join an alliance later to touch the last one at J-8 to fight NM?

[Sheila]

I don't think it needs to be accepted, talk to Kupipi before going to Torai to be sure.

Get to the touching points by sneak (btw one of them you touch, then magic pool, then touch again, don't do magic pool too early), go back to the tower, trade rolanberry to Kupipi then should get the gate key.

Then go back with alliance whenever.

the rolanberry part is not required as part of AF3. This quest is only for windurstians who have completed M8?¯“Ç‚Ý. Doing this quest will reward the windurstian with a key that can open the door without 3 mages.

Thanks guys, will try it tomorrow

So I joined an alliance, touched the 3 spots (2nd with magic pool on), killed the NM "Magic Sludge", cut scenes after the 1st two spots but no cut scene after killing NM. Went back to talk to Chumimi, but nothing happnened.... what's going on here?? Is there someone else I have to talk to?

[Jei]

oh. so all BLM need to touch? I thought just killing is enough.... thanks for that inportant info

[peacemaker]

Yeah, 3 x touch and kill. And I think you might have to stand near the Magic Sludge when killing it to make sure its death is logged on screen, I was apparently standing too far from it, 2 other blms in the alliance didn't get it either, one was standing next to me along with the white mages, the other one used her 2 hr at the wrong spot. Can confirm the distance part next time I try.
