Walkthrough

Talk to Jaucribaix in Norg (K-8) as a Samurai; he asks you to bring him the Mumeito he gave you when you became a Samurai and a Handful of Crystal Scales.
- If you dropped the Mumeito, Ranemaud will sell you another one for 30,000 gil after you accept the quest.
NOTE: From this point on, you can finish this quest on any job, including getting the reward.
Obtain a Sack of Fish Bait from Goblin Robbers in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.
- Many Goblin Robbers can be found at (H-8) north of the outpost.
Trade the Sack of Fish Bait to the ??? at (E-8) near a lake in the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah to spawn a pugil NM: Isonade.
- You can spawn this NM on any job.
- Use Sneak to prevent the NM from aggroing the trader.
Defeat Isonade and reexamine the ??? to obtain a Handful of Crystal Scales.
- If you change areas or lose connection, you will need another Sack of Fish Bait to spawn and defeat Isonade again. Be sure to check the ??? after defeating Isonade.
- If you have multiple people on the quest, you only need to kill Isonade once. Therefore, one Sack of Fish Bait is enough for the entire group.
Return to Norg and trade the Mumeito to Jaucribaix to complete the quest.

Client: Jaucribaix (Near the Captain's Quarters, Norg)
Summary: Your mumeito and a handful of crystal scales are needed to forge a katana that will be used in a Norg ritual.
