Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

After pulling out half of my scalp, my partner & I figured this ridiculous quest out through trial & error. Note that this is for the NQ version of the yukata. I haven't done the HQ one yet.

Basically, once the moogle warps you & your partner to the area, one person finds an aggro-free spot & /heals. In a few seconds, the virtual compass the moogle gave you will give you a direction. This direction is where your partner is supposed to go.

Here's the important part. Once your partner finds a "Check Point", make sure your partner DOES NOT click on it, since it might be the wrong point, and apparently, you're not allowed any mistakes (thanks SE, you bunch of psychopaths).

Have your partner "test" the point. For instance, if your compass says "North", have your partner, stand just north of the point. If your compass then says "South", then you're at the right place. But if your compass continues to say "North", then it's the wrong point & your partner should just continue walking north until they come to another "Check Point". Then repeat the "test".

Once both of you are sure you're at the right point, have your partner click on the "Check Point". Your partner should recieve an item (make sure both of you have space in your inventory).

Repeat the entire process, except your partner /heals and you run around. Once both of you have recieved an item, use the Gate Glyph given to you by the moogle to go back to the city you started the quest from (the next time I do this, I'm just gonna ghetto warp, since those Gate Glyphs will come in handy some day).

At the city, you and your partner will trade the items you found to each other. Then trade the item to the moogle & you'll receive the yukata. The NQ version of the yukata will yield a stack of 99 Muteppo (roman candle fireworks) and can be used again in 168 real-life hours to yield more fireworks.

For the HQ yukata, you and your partner need both to be wearing the NQ yukata received from this event. You and your partner will then be warped to one fo the 3 zones, tahrongi, highlands, la theine.

Same process as before but with a twist. This time, when you /heal, you will receive a message "xxx yalms". We'll consider yalms as yards for ease of explaining. You are xxx yards away from the check point. The number of yards will decrease as your partner heads in the general direction, and will begin to pinpoint the checkpoint as your partner get closer to it.

When you get within 35 yalms, it should be close enought to be targetable.

Repeat the process until both parties have their doll, same as before, and turn in to the Moogle for your HQ yukata.

Note: The HQ event usually has the Checkpoints placed in aggro city. Typically, I've done around the Crag structure around the weapons/ghosts.

Theres a 3rd one when you have the HQ yukatas on, you both again have the Yalms, but when you find the point, theres generally 2-5 in the same area, also guarded by agroable mobs, so its a lot harder, but if you do it right, it can be finished the same as the others. Also theres the rare chance that you & your partner get the exact same point. (happened to me XD)

Any idea what reward you get when doing it the third time?

Wonder if they will ever increase our storage to accompany these event items.

Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

That's what I am hoping will happen. I know we can't at the moment, but I prefer my NQ yukata to the HQ, don't really want to toss it though, so into storage it goes until NPC event storage is in effect.

Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

There's an NPC that holds event items just like AF and armor sets. New items usually get added in the patch following the event. Sometimes items don't get added, particularly if they have charges, but usually they do.

Well, for the 3rd time, all you really get are the trivial items, I got 21 festival fans, my friend got 19 summer fans.

Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

is where the moggle teleports you random? i.e. it can be either konsch, la thiene or tahrongi no matter which nation you start it in?

[silentsteel]

Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

Aye, thats true, me & my friend tried all three nations, first we were warped to konst from windy, second was tahongri from sandy, third was back to konst in bastok.

So Firework Yukatas eh? I was hoping for the rest of the Yukata set, but I'll give it a try anyway.

Re: Azimuth Circle Begins on July 31st!(07/28/2006)

Heh this is probably the funnest even so far!

I had quite a bit of fun with the HQ part! Had to dodge agro and stuff to get my CPoint in the middle of 2 Poltergeists and it was just a thrill heh.

Got HQ really quickly and almost used up all my fireworks already, lots of fun with datechochins , try using them while fighting hah! XD

Question: To get the HQ, do you have to do it at a different moogle, or with a different person?
