Final Fantasy XI #117, Bastok Mission 7-1: The Final Image; Ordelle's Caves: Bunnies and Beetles

This is video #117 in my gameplay series of Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition. Final Fantasy XI Playlist:    • Final Fantasy XI   Previously, Heorot continued training in the Inner Horutoto Ruins and reached Level 86 as Red Mage. Then, he continued the "Rhapsodies of Vana'diel" storyline. For "The Lost Avatar", he defeated Siren, a pretty tough boss. He continued through the missions "Volto Oscuro" and "Ring My Bell" in Norg, leading to the completion of "Chapter One: Creation and Rebirth". He began "Chapter Two: Revitalization" with the mission "Spirits Awoken". Now, Heorot will continue the Bastok missions with Mission 7-1. Heorot resumes in his Mog House in Bastok. He heads out. Bastok Mines (time 0:50): Heorot resets his current home point to Home Point #1 by the auction house. He trades some crystals to Crying Wind, I.M., at H-10 by the gate. Then, he talks to Rashid and accepts Bastok Mission 7-1: "The Final Image". Cid needs some help investigating Ro'Maeve near the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah. Heorot teleports to the Metalworks. Metalworks (time 3:28): Heorot talks to Cid at H-8 in Cid's Lab. A scene takes place. Cid wants some Reinforced Cermet from Ro'Maeve so he can research it. Heorot teleports to Bastok Mines. Bastok Mines (time 6:06): Heorot uses the Survival Guide at I-9 to teleport to Ro'Maeve, Li'Telor. Ro'Maeve (time 6:55): In Ro'Maeve, Heorot hunts around for a ??? spot. The ??? spot can randomly appear at one of several spots throughout the area. Eventually, Heorot finds the ??? spot at J-8. Before he triggers it, he defeats the Evil Weapons lurking in the area. Note that almost all the enemies in the area are aggressive to magic casting, but they will ignore magic cast by Trust NPCs. When Heorot examines the ??? spot, two Mokkurkalfi golems appear. Not too bad at Level 86. After the battle, you may have to hunt around for the ??? spot again, but Heorot does not need to. He examines the ??? spot again to find the Reinforced Cermet, a temporary key item. Time to take it back to Cid. Heorot uses the Survival Guide at H-6 to return to Bastok Mines. Bastok Mines (time 21:29): Heorot teleports to the Metalworks. Metalworks (time 22:20): Heorot reports to Cid at H-8 in Cid's Lab. Cornelia shows up during the scene. Bastok Mission 7-1 complete! Afterwards, Heorot teleports to Bastok Mines. Bastok Mines (time 30:05): Now, Heorot will take his leveling operations to Ordelle's Caves below La Theine Plateau. He uses the Survival Guide at I-9 to teleport to Ordelle's Caves, Zulkheim. Ordelle's Caves (time 30:53): Heorot arrives at G-3 on the second map. At G-2 just to the north, he examines the Grounds Tome. He undertakes the Page 7 individual training to defeat 3 Buds Bunnies and 3 Targe Beetles per training regime. These enemies are fairly deep into the cave. Buds Bunnies show up in the southern section of the second map, starting at around H-10. To reach the Targe Beetles, Heorot can drop down the southeast hole at H-11 on the second map to H-11 on the first map. Targe Beetles appear to link. I'm not sure about the wascally Buds Bunnies. When he is done, Heorot uses the Survival Guide at G-3 on the second map to teleport to Bastok Mines. Bastok Mines (time 1:13:18): Heorot visits Neigepance at the Chocobo Stables to sell off some loot. Then, he heads home to the Residential Area. Mog House (time 1:15:06): Heorot logs off. Next time, he will carry out Mission 7-2. Thanks for watching! Recording date: January 9, 2021 This video is part of my gameplay series of Final Fantasy XI.
