Walkthrough
- Talk to Ayame (K-7 on the top floor of Metalworks in a Cannon Room) and accept her job offer. You cannot start this quest if you are a Bastokan citizen and have completed Bastok Mission 4-1, but have not started Bastok Mission 5-1. Ayame will just tell you to go talk to Naji because there is an emergency.
- Next go talk to Ravorara outside the Steaming Sheep Restaurant Port Bastok (E-7) (Home Point #3).
- Talk to Brakobrik at Oldton Movalpolos (K-11), selecting the option "I getting you."

- Now return to Port Bastok and talk to Ravorara four times - once for each key item. She'll give you 100 gil for the Dusty Tome, 200 gil for the Pointed Jug, 300 gil for the Cracked Club, and 400 gil for the Peeling Hairpin (repeatable if quest isn't finished).
- Now you must return to Oldton Movalpolos and trade one additional Hoary Bomb Ash to Brakobrik.
- This time say "No Thanks" when he offers a reward. He will apologize to you and give you the Old Nametag.
- Head back to Port Bastok and talk to Ravorara.
- Finally, go to Bastok Mines and speak with Pavvke, in a house on the lower level of I-7, to finish the quest and get your final reward, 1,200 gil.
