Zilart Missions (Final Fantasy)

The New Frontier



After defeating the Shadow Lord, go to Norg for the cutscene.



Welcome t'Norg



Talk to Gilgamesh in Norg at L-8.



Kazham's Chieftainness



Jakoh Wahcondalo (the Kazham Chieftaness) gives you the Key Item Sacrificial Chamber Key. This is used to reach the deeper areas of the Temple of Uggalippeh. If I'm not mistaken the position is at J-9.



The Temple of Uggalepih



There are 4 distinct components of this mission that will help you succeed:



1) Obtain an unlit lantern four yourself and 3 others.

2) Obtain one paintbrush of souls

3) Reset your tonberry hate

4) Head for the BCNM and do battle.



3) can be prepared solo, at any time. Read below.



Getting an unlit lantern



Refer to this map: Temple of Uggilepih



I got my unlit lantern while killing coffer mobs at H-6 of the 3rd map (counting left to right, top to bottom). Simply assemble a coffer-key skillup party for uggalepih temple (both samurai and summoners need this coffer) and fight until a lantern drops. Ask for the lot.



Obtaining a paintbrush



Tonberry cutters do drop uggalepih keys, but I can't exactly recall where there are more than 2 of them at any given time. I think in the end our party went roaming around and slaughtering every tonberry we saw until we found a good cache of cutters (yes Everyone's Grudge got a good deal more powerful, but whatever. ^^).



Everyone who wants a paintbrush needs a key, and the key can only be used once. Take your key to F-7 of the first map and trade the key to the door there. Now walk around the small library you're in and touch everything in the room until you are given the paintbrush of souls. Just make sure you get the paintbrush before you exit the room; to re-enter you will need to get another key.



Resetting your tonberry hate



by now you have killed a lot of tonberries.



Anyone who has ever taken a swing at a tonberry prepare the following quest: Everyone's Grudge



The hate-reset tonberry is at F-11 of the first map. Just make everyone do it before proceeding with this mission. Better safe than sorry. Our WAR took maybe 250-300 damage from Everyone's Rancor, all from the tonberries we killed on the way to the Sacrificial Chamber, which was like 3. You don't want to know how much damage it can do if you've killed dozens or hundreds since the last time you reset your hate (watch yourself, black mages).



How to use the paintbrush



Follow the directions in the guide to get to the room with the paintings. clear the room. Now have the person with the paintbrush examine all the paintings in the room, not just the empty frame. Afterwards, have them examine the empty frame on the eastern wall. The message log should read 'by focusing on the paintbrush of souls….etc etc etc.'



At this point they should do nothing. No typing, no moving, just put your hands at your sides and wait a good 60 seconds. When a good minute has passed, have them press Enter and the door to the Den of Rancor should open within a few seconds. If they move, target something else, type, ANYTHING, they will have to start over. This is basically the reason to clear the room first, to give the person time to do this.



The battle



THF > BLM > SMN. The thief is the one wearing the crown. Any other order will get one or the lot of you killed. The worst thing that can happen if you try to kill the BLM first is that he will Throat Stab your tank, and the THF will run up and one-shot him now that his HP is next to nothing. This happened to my party.



Do NOT ignore the pet! That would be idiotic since depending on its type (we got a water elemental) it can do horrible things to your party. Sleep and Silence it and keep it that way. You do not have to kill it to win, but do not ignore it.



Make sure everyone is near full health before taking on the SMN mob. We lucked out, he summoned Ifrit on watersday, so his Astral Flow did very little damage (but it was still enough to kill our weakened tank a second time ; . If you must, just have the whm guess at the bar-ra spell to cast. You have a 1 in 6 chance of success (as far as I know he doesn't summon carbuncle or fenrir). Shellra IV goes a long way here, too.

Flawless AFK Fishing Macro (Final Fantasy tactics walkthrough)

Ok after tweaking someone elses 'FLAWLESS' fishing bot… yeah right… I have come up with a truly working one. When you start the script, you will have 100 seconds to get into the game until it starts. If you have any questions or problems, post on www.gamebugs.org forums and ill do my best to help you. This code will do everything for you. It will equip new bait when you run out, fish, reel in fish, and sort your inventory. The ONLY thing it wont do is equip another fishing rod if yours breaks. But then again, who would do that if you are trying to make money anyway! Get a composite rod, it may be a bit expensive but well worth the money and it is hard to break this thing even at lv 15-20 fishing…







Download and install autoit v3 (just do a google search. It is free software)



Open notepad



Copy the code below into it starting with the word Sleep and ending with Endfunc and paste it into notepad



Go to file, save as



Instead of the default saving it as a txt file, change it to all files by clicking the little arrow beside the box that says save as file type



Name the file ffaf.au3



Go to start, programs, Playonline, Finalfantasy XI, and then to final fantasy config tool



Click on the screen size tab



Change the Overlay Graphics Resolution to 1280×1024 and the Background Resolution to 512×512 (other backgrounds may work but the overlay has to be as specified!) Click ok and then yes to save the changes.



DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT YET!



Start FFXI and get into the game all the way because we have to make some changes from within the game.



Open your menu and go to, config, then font colors. There will be a default button. Click it. The script relies on specified colors in order to know if you caught something or not so these must be the default colors!



Open you menu and go to chat filters. Turn all of them on. The reason for this is that since the script looks at the text window, you dont want anything in there that you dont have to have…



Open your menu and go to config, then to misc 2. Change the fullsize button over to compact. Then click the movement button at the bottom



Find the one that says 'menu/target cursor up' and set it for the letter A



Open your menu and go to macros…and enter the following







For Control 0 AND Alt 1 enter:







/echo (there is a space between echo and the period. This is simply to let you know that the script is working. You will see a yellow period on your text screen when the macro is started)



/wait 12



/fish











For Alt 2 and Control 2 enter:







/equip ammo '____' (put your bait in the ". Such as /equip ammo 'Insect Ball' or /equip ammo 'Little Worm'. Capatial letters must be capital in the code so check your inventory if you aren't sure)











Move to a spot you wish to fish and equip your gear (if you have it)



Face the water just like you were about to fish



Log out of the game correctly! Dont rush it. Let it log you all the way out….



Run the script you created by right clicking on it and going to 'Run Script'



Go back into FFXI as fast as you can



Once your character appears DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING! I have found that it works better if you dont touch any controls from the time you login till the time you want to stop



Here is the code you need to make the script. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! I have spend hours tweaking this to get it to work and it does. If you have problems, post something in the forums at www.gamebugs.org!
