Walkthrough

• Talking to Nanaa Mihgo in Windurst Woods at (J-3) as a level 40+ Thief to start the quest and receive a Letter from the Tenshodo.
  • You must have a Tenshodo Member's Card from the Tenshodo Membership quest to continue.
• Talk to Harnek at (J-7) in Lower Jeuno just inside the HQ for a cutscene and a Tenshodo Envelope.
• Before heading to Selbina, skip a step by heading to Beadeaux and stealing from a Garnet Quadav until you obtain a Quadav Stew.
  • On Nasomi Garnet Quadav seem to have the highest steal rates, they may in fact be the only ones that hold the Stew. So focus on these.
  • There are two teleport options to get to Beadeaux:
    • First is Teleport-Dem and ride a Chocobo from there..
    • The secondis Outpost Teleportation to Pashhow Marshlands (K-6).
  • Talking to Elfriede first makes no difference to steal rate.
  • You can do this with your current level thief or with thief as a sub job on a high level job.
  • Steal success rate varies wildly; even on 75 Thief it may take several attempts to successfully steal the stew.
• After you have obtained the Quadav Stew, travel to Selbina and talk to Elfriede at (J-9) of the Shepherd's Muster Inn for cutscene with Sneaking Tiger, who says you must bring him a Quadav Stew.
• Trade the stew to Elfriede for a cutscene and a Signed Envelope.
  • Although not at all necessary to the remaining Artifact Armor quests, consider a peek at the contents of the envelope and remember the signature.
• Head back to Lower Jeuno and talk to Harnek for a final cutscene and to receive your reward.
