It's a fantastic peice of gear and its really not that hard to get.
Before being flagged for the crown you need to complete the following two quests:
First onehttp://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?fquest=307and
Second onehttp://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?fquest=403These quests involve nothing more than giving the guy gil twice (from what I see on the forum it ranges from 10k-25k per quest.)
For exact information about the quest itself
Click Here.There are only three things we will need that can not be purchased at AH. They are:
Giant Fish Bones: Dropped from Tonberry Stalker (Level: 51 - 59) (Temple of Uggalepih)
Ancient Salt dropped from Sand Digger (Level: 62 - 65) (Quicksand Caves)
and
Wyvern Skull dropped from Hurricane Wyvern (Level: 75 - 78) (Ifrit's Cauldron)
The last one will be the hardest. Omni's help will be greatly appreciated for the fights here (if he has time) and a high lv thf to up the drop rate. Lets get a party together and farm these items! I'll be logging on tonight to check the prices on the other items to see if any of them are very expensive. If they are we may farm them as well (and a few extra to sell if we have time.)
