Orichalcum Survey

Area:
Leujaoam Sanctum

Objective:
Discover orichalcum ore.

Recruitment:
Lv.50, 3-6 mercenaries.

Strategy:
(per Naria) Pure luck to the rescue! After entering, each player should talk to the NPC. Each of you will get a temporary pickaxe item (you don't need and can't use real pickaxes). Split up, and run about, looking for mining points. These points will respawn at random. Simply click them and you'll mine, not like regular mining. You can get nothing, pebbles, orichalcum ore, or a worm. The worms read impossible to gauge, but they are total weaksauce. Two tier 4 spells kills them. I advise silence. You can also just run away.
If your pickaxe breaks talk to the NPC for a new one.

Once one of you finds the orichalcum ore, simply return it to the NPC...

Yea… simply. You see those mouse-dude miners walking around? They seem like decorative NPCs in the beginning, but once someone has the ore the become agrro monsters. I assume that you'll have to start over if they kill the person with the ore. We didn't let them, and kited them while the ore-carrier talked to the NPC, opened the chest, and used the rune. You can kill them, I believe.

We beat this with only Drg, Rdm, Blm, and we had low mp when the mouse-miner attacked. We advise that if you want to do this with only 3 people, everyone should be able to sleep mobs. You probably want gather together at the person who found the ore so they don't have to pass a miner alone.

Learned that you can sneak / invisible past the miners once someone has the ore. Probably just need invisible, but we didn't feel like testing that.
