Walkthrough

Speak to Octavien at (I-8) (Sverdhried Hillock Waypoint) of Eastern Adoulin while your main job is level 30 or higher.
Obtain the the Yahse Wildflower Petal at (K-7) of Yahse Hunting Grounds by examining the Yahse Wildflower.
- To reach the flowers it is easiest to leave from Eastern Adoulin via the boat at (G-5), the nearest Waypoint is "The Wharf to Yahse". Nearly all monsters on route are non-aggressive (so long as you stay away from the beach near the wildflowers). However Umbril, which appear at night between 20:00-4:00, are aggressive to sight and magic.
Return to Octavien, Use the Sverdhried Hillock Waypoint just north of him. During the cutscene, you must select "Use Rune Enchantment...?" anywhere from 1 to 100 times. The number of times is random.
After the cutscene, you receive a Sowilo Claymore and unlock the Rune Fencer job.
- Note: the Sowilo Claymore is used in a Rune Fencer Artifact quest, so hold on to it if you want to save gil. If you discard it, an Elixir must be used for that quest instead.

Client: Octavien (Sverdhried Hillock, Eastern Adoulin)
Summary: Years of excruciating training and long hours of study await those who desire to master the runic arts. One may circumvent this laborious process, however, by engraving runes upon his body with ink from a Yahse wildflower petal.
