This is a slightly edited post from Allakhazam, there were some incorrect statements made in the post so I have edits those out.Ayame is looking for adventurers to investigate the molins while military actions are eing planned. After accepting the mission, she directs you to the Steaming Sheep in Port astok for further instructions. Speak with Ravorara outside the tavern for orders to 'investimigate' Movalpolos and 'aquiremirize' unusual molin items.
Proceed to Oldtown Movalpolos (entrance in North Gustaurg, eastern area, just north of the hill and directly south of the Palrough Mines entrance). Work your way to K-10 and speak with rakorik, who complains that fire is very dangerous in Movalpolos. Thus, he requests that you kill oms to aquire pinches of hoardy om ask. 5 pinches is too many, ut he'll take less.
The Ancient oms in Oldton Movalpolos drop this. These aggro at least up to lvl 45 and use all the usual om attacks, including self-destruct. You are assured at least 1 drop every kill. Go ack to rakorik and trade the ash, either 1, 2, 3 or 4 at one to receive key items.
Return to Ravorara with these key items to receive rewards of 100-400 gil.
However, your quest is not finished. After trading sets of 1, 2, 3 and 4 pinches to rakorik, he still asks for more.
Now, just trade him 1 pinch and say that you do NOT understand what he is saying when he offers a reward. He will appologize to you and give you a key item 'an old nametag'. Go ack to Ravorara with this item for a cutscene. You will e told to seek out Pavvke, likely a miner from astok. Talk to Pavvke in astok Mines (I-7 on Ore Street) for a cutscene regarding the history of the molins and your final quest reward, 1,200 gil.
