*Trading 3 crystals to the Conquest NPC (the one that gives Signet) unlocks this mission. Trading 12 will max out your rank points for Rank 2.
*Accept the mission from any gate guard.
**(Optional) As usual for Windurst missions, the gate guards and their adjacent NPCs will all have optional dialogue after accepting and at end of the mission.
*Head for the [[Optistery]] on the northern map of [[Windurst Waters]] (near [[Home Point]] #1). Speak to [[Tosuka-Porika]] at (G-8).

**(Optional) Nanaa's cronies nearby have additional dialogue.
===Maze of Shakrami===
*Now make your way to the [[Maze of Shakhrami]], which is in at (K-5) in the northeast corner of [[Tahrongi Canyon]].
**The [[Survival Guide]] places you at the entrance of [[Maze of Shakhrami]] so long as you have it unlocked.
**The [[Unity]] warp to [[Tahrongi Canyon]], Kulshushu [[Outpost]], or Mea crag warps can otherwise save some time.
*EDIT: There are fourteen Fossil Rocks in all in all. Once inside Maze of Shakhrami from Tahrongi Canyon follow these instructions using [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ffxi/images/4/41/MazeofShakhrami1.png/revision/latest?cb=20060823140034 Map1] and [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ffxi/images/4/48/MazeofShakhrami2.png/revision/latest?cb=20070726082232 Map2] to follow along.
**On Map 1 enter D to change to Map 2.
**On Map 2 run from D to E checking for four Fossil Rocks on the way.
**On Map 1 again now run from E to G, there are no Fossil Rocks on the way.
**On Map 2 again run west from G. From here on Map 2 you can get to the following Fossil Rocks.
***There are a total of two Fossil Rocks inside I-7
***There are a total of six Fossil Rocks G-7 to H-7 & G-8 to H-8
***There are a total of two Fossil Rocks inside I-8
*<s>Inside, head for (G-6) on Map 1, where you can transition to Map 2 (the lower map). Then, head to (H-5) on Map 2.</s>
*<s>In this room, there are four '''Fossil Rocks'''.</s>
*Check each rock until you receive the [[Lapis coral]].
**<s>There are also two additional '''Fossil Rocks''' at (I-8).</s>
**<s>All mobs aggro sound, so keep [[Sneak]] up if you are a lower-level player. You can use Circumspection from the [[Grounds Tome]] if necessary.</s>

**(Optional) Nanaa's cronies have new additional dialogue.

*Enter the room off of the main room. At (G-9), there is a cracked wall. Open it to proceed to Inner Horuoto Ruins Map 2. Now head for (G-8) again. There are a few ways to get there, but ultimately that is your destination.
** You will need [[Sneak]] and [[Invisible]] due to high level (90+) monsters in the area.
** This also includes potential blood aggro, so be sure you are full HP.
*** Without Sneak and Invisible: [[Beetle]]s and [[Bat]]s do not aggro here. there is a path to the door without [[Goblin]]s and [[Skeleton]]s, allowing you to pass safely
*Check the '''Mahogany Door''' for a cutscene.
