Beast Tribe Quests are daily [[quests]] that require the players to perform tasks dictated by various Beast Tribes. Beast Tribe Quests for [[Sylphs]] and [[Amalj'aa]] were added in patch 2.1. Quests for the [[Kobolds]] and [[Sahagin]] were added in patch 2.2. Quests for the [[Ixali]] were added in patch 2.35. Players will not only earn experience, gil, [[items]], Tomestones and [[ventures]] for completing these quests, they will also earn [[Reputation]] points. By increasing your reputation, you will gain access to the Beastmen tribe vendor which sells unique [[mounts]], [[minions]], [[Housing Items|furnishings]] and other items.

*'''Beast Tribe Quests don't unlock until you reach level 41 of the Main Scenario Quests, even if your character is over level 41.''' Once unlocked via the Main Scenario Quests the Beast Tribe Quests become dependent on character level and not Main Scenario Quest level.

*Players can perform 6 daily quests per day. At neutral reputation rank (Rank 1) players can only accept 3 quests from any individual faction.

*Each Quest gives you from 5-10 Reputation points, depending on the rank of the quest. See [[Reputation]] for more on ranking up

*The quests available to you on a given day are random, from a selection of 10 quests, each of which also has some randomness to them in terms of objective locations and such. In general, completing a set of 3 quests from a faction will usually take around 15 minutes, but this can be up or down by an additional 5-10 minutes depending on which quests you end up with.

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
==== Solve the Explorer's Riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:'' FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

:''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be LIGHTNING / FIRE / EARTH / ICE / WATER / WIND.
:By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

</table>

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the Explorer's Riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other.

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.
==== Solve the Explorer's Riddle. (#4) ====

*For this you will need to combine the 6 lines of poetry from the last 3 riddles.
:Talk to Valiant Hart and he will read them out one by one.
:The full poem is as follows:

:''Clandestine rendezvous leave me breathless and wanting''
:''Obsession consumes me, a thirst for the taboo''
:''Perchance we meet in public, be not a beguiler''
:''Ply me not with honeyed words, and spare me glances alluring''
:''Ere long this torment must end; together we must be''
:''Renounce it all I would, but we must be more discreet''

:By combining the 1st letters of each sentence you get the word COPPER.
:By combining the last letters of each sentence you get the word GORGET.

*Equip a [[Copper Gorget]] and check the [[???]] behind the statue next to [[Valiant Hart]] to complete the quest.

==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:''|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: ''So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.''
:''I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate.''

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#4) ====

*For this you will need to combine the 6 lines of poetry from the last 3 riddles.
:Talk to Valiant Hart and he will read them out one by one.
:The full poem is as follows:

:''Clandestine rendezvous leave me breathless and wanting''
:''Obsession consumes me, a thirst for the taboo''
:''Perchance we meet in public, be not a beguiler''
:''Ply me not with honeyed words, and spare me glances alluring''
:''Ere long this torment must end; together we must be''
:''Renounce it all I would, but we must be more discreet''

:By combining the 1st letters of each sentence you get the word COPPER.
:By combining the last letters of each sentence you get the word GORGET.

*Equip a [[Copper Gorget]] and check the [[???]] behind the statue next to [[Valiant Hart]] to complete the quest.

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:''|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: ''So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.''
:''I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate.''
:''"Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!''

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:''|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

*Talk to Valiant Hart.

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: ''So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.''
:''I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate.''
:''"Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!''

She gives you the way to decipher the second coded message. Each two numbers correspond to a letter in the alphabet (01 is A, 02 is B, and so on).

Jahelle: {{Quote|…Hah! Winebaud carved a riddle on a statue... and included ''my'' name along with it? I ought to be flattered, but I'm just confused.This "sums" nonsense reminds me of all the times he argued with me over his bill. Time and time again I would have to show him the calculations, and when I was finished, he would always apologize in the same queer way:"I learned the letters of mathematics, but alas, not the grammar." I don't know why; a simple sorry would have sufficed.}}

*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

==== Speak with Valiant Hart. (#1) ====

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: ''So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.''
:''I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate.''
:''"Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!''

*Check [[Winebaud's Message]] the for the next clue.
*You will be given the following phrase.

:If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, then return to me with X of X. The master of the markets has my list.
''"X" are replaced with 2 variable letters, see below.''

*You will now need to travel to your home nation and talk to one of these NPC's to find out the list.

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:''|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

{{Quote|[Windbaud's Message]Seeker of treasure and truth, I must congratulate you once more! Let us celebrate your latest accomplishment with another verse from my favorite poet:Perchance we meet in public, be not a beguiler. Ply me not with honeyed words, and spare me glances alluring.…}}

==== Speak with Valiant Hart. (#3) ====

''Eh!? You had to do what to trigger the message? I know Winebaud had some skill with magicks, but that beggars belief!That curiosity aside, why is he continuing to spout poetry? Bah, never mind. For now, let us focus on the next riddle, which I've just finished translating. It's waiting for you!''
*Check [[Winebaud's Message]] the for the next clue.
*You will be given the following phrase.

:If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, then return to me with X of X. The master of the markets has my list.
''"X" are replaced with 2 variable letters, see below.''

*You will now need to travel to your home nation and talk to one of these NPC's to find out the list.

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

:''|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.''

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

:''At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!''

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

==== Speak with Valiant Hart. (#1) ====

:''Player Name'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you? The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in'' you.''
:''I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.''
:''But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one! You'll find my translation next to the message as before.''
:''I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!''

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].

For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}

Jahelle: {{Quote|…Hah! Winebaud carved a riddle on a statue... and included ''my'' name along with it? I ought to be flattered, but I'm just confused.This "sums" nonsense reminds me of all the times he argued with me over his bill.

*Check [[Winebaud's Message]] the for the next clue.
*You will be given the following phrase.

:If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, then return to me with X of X. The master of the markets has my list.
''"X" are replaced with 2 variable letters, see below.''

*You will now need to travel to your home nation and talk to one of these NPC's to find out the list.

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

{{Quote|At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!}}

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

==== Speak with Valiant Hart. (#1) ====

{{Quote|''&lceil;player&rfloor;'', you've returned! Tell me, have you solved Winebaud's riddle? Where did it lead you?The journal of the explorer himself! I knew I was right to trust in you.I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting. I have deciphered another passage, only to find myself confronted with yet another inscrutable riddle.But I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it, given how quickly you deduced the answer to the first one!You'll find my translation next to the message as before. I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!}}

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}

''Eh!? You had to do what to trigger the message? I know Winebaud had some skill with magicks, but that beggars belief!That curiosity aside, why is he continuing to spout poetry? Bah, never mind. For now, let us focus on the next riddle, which I've just finished translating. It's waiting for you!''
*Check [[Winebaud's Message]] the for the next clue.
*You will be given the following phrase.

:If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, then return to me with X of X. The master of the markets has my list.
''"X" are replaced with 2 variable letters, see below.''

*You will now need to travel to your home nation and talk to one of these NPC's to find out the list.

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]].

Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

''Eh!? You had to do what to trigger the message? I know Winebaud had some skill with magicks, but that beggars belief!That curiosity aside, why is he continuing to spout poetry? Bah, never mind. For now, let us focus on the next riddle, which I've just finished translating. It's waiting for you!''
*Check [[Winebaud's Message]] the for the next clue.
*You will be given the following phrase.

:If SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER, then return to me with X of X. The master of the markets has my list.
''"X" are replaced with 2 variable letters, see below.''

*You will now need to travel to your home nation and talk to one of these NPC's to find out the list.

<td style="background-color:#e8e8e8;">In the middle of the Markets</td>

</table>

*Once talking to the NPC you will receive the list.

''The adventurer returns, asking after a...Winebaud? Yes, I remember now.''
''He requested my assistance in locating a number of items many years ago.''
''However, his list lacked sufficient information, and I was unable to proceed.''
''Fortunately for you, I am loath to dispose of any documents related to business. Now where did I...? Ah, here we are.''
:Winebaud's List:
:1 = Pearl
:2 = Fluorite
:3 = Malachite
:4 = Choker
:5 = Sunstone
:6 = Earrings
:7 = Ring
:8 = Bracelet

''To be fair, it matters not if it were more detailed. A dead man cannot pay a finder's fee, after all.''
*So to work out SWORD+SWORD=DAGGER you have to add 2+5 digit numbers to make a 6 digit number.
:The highest number you can make is 87,654. So 87,654 X2 =175,308, which is the max number that Dagger can be. This means that D has to be "1".
:With D as number 1 means that R (1+1 no carried forward) has to be "2"
:With R as number 2 means that E (2+2 no carried forward) has to be "4" etc...
:''(Below is the solved puzzle)''
:SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER
:78321 + 78321 = 156642
*Using the numbers you can match up the letters with the list to see what item you need.
:Known Combinations.
: G of R = Fluorite Earrings
: G of O = Malachite Earrings
: G of A = Sunstone Earrings
: S of R = Fluorite Ring
: S of O = Malachite Ring
: S of A = Sunstone Ring
: W of R = Fluorite Bracelet
: W of O = Malachite Bracelet
: W of A = Sunstone Bracelet

*With the item equipped check the [[Winebaud's Message]] for the next riddle.

:''Irrespective of the lives we lead, we are often defined by our beginnings and endings.''
:''The poet understood this. So do I, and so must you.''
:''Seeker of treasure and truth, I have given you the key.''
:''The lock lies before you, behind my obfuscations.''
:''It's a story, you see...''
:''But not the one we were told.''

*First quest in the [[Winebaud's Riddles]] questline.
==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

*Talk to the [[Novice Explorer]] waiting for you at one of these locations.

{{Quote|At long last... does the wheel turn anew? Are you the one for whom I have waited?Praise the Twelve! Master Windbaud told me it might be years, even ''decades'', until one came — ''if'' someone came, but I swore an oath, so I couldn't—You don't understand; this is all so ''exciting''! But you're not here for that, or for me. You're here for the ''treasure'', aren't you?This is Master Winebaud's Journal, and it belongs to you now.No, no, that's not true. It was always yours — you had yet to claim it, is all. Keep it close, fellow explorer! This is only the beginning!}}

*From the Novice Explorer, you gain the key item [[Windbaud's Travel Log]].

I knew I was right to trust in you.I have news to share as well, though it is not quite as uplifting.

I'm counting on you, my puzzle aficionado!}}

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.
*You will get one of two riddles to solve, either "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

*[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
He gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}

Jahelle: {{Quote|…Hah! Winebaud carved a riddle on a statue... and included ''my'' name along with it? I ought to be flattered, but I'm just confused.This "sums" nonsense reminds me of all the times he argued with me over his bill.

==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

*Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you your next clue.

Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.

[[Memenugu]]: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}

===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

==Walkthrough==
Note that there seem to be a few sets of the riddles and each person can get one of them.
===WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD===
==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#1) ====

*Checking the [[Windbaud's Message]] point of interest will reveal a series of scrambled letters above the following message:

{{Quote|FIRE / LIGHTNING / WATER / EARTH / ICE / WIND The wheel must turn anew.}}

''This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.''

*Talk to [[Valiant Hart]] and he directs you to [[Yayaroku]].

*Talk to [[Yayaroku]] located in [[Ul'dah]] in the Thaumaturge's Guild.

*[[Yayaroku]] tells you that the elements are from ''Essences and Permutations'' but the sequence is wrong; it should be lightning → fire → earth → ice → water → wind.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

==== Solve the explorer's riddle. (#2) ====

Checking [[Windbaud's Message]] again gives you a line of scrambled text or numbers followed by the line, "Memenugu knows the steps." (for letters), or "Jahelle knows her sums" (for numbers).

[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/30adb678faa/ Memenugu] is in [[Central Thanalan]] at (21,25), at the waypoint [[Fesca's Wash]].
[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/bb6a07ae82f/ Jahelle] is in [[North Shroud]] at (21,26) inside of the buildings [[Fallgourd Float]].

Memenugu: {{Quote|…So if I understand you correctly, a riddle on a statue said ''I'' know "the steps"? A riddle written by Winebaud? I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest what that could mean.I swear, famed explorer or not, that old man was a bloody fool when it came to combat. This "step" nonsense reminds me of the time he tried to critique the form of my Elezen associate."Two steps forward, one step back. Over and over again, until the end." Gods, he said it so many times it's been stuck in my head ever since!}}
Jahelle: {{Quote|…Hah! Winebaud carved a riddle on a statue... and included ''my'' name along with it? I ought to be flattered, but I'm just confused.This "sums" nonsense reminds me of all the times he argued with me over his bill. Time and time again I would have to show him the calculations, and when I was finished, he would always apologize in the same queer way:"I learned the letters of mathematics, but alas, not the grammar." I don't know why; a simple sorry would have sufficed.}}

Memenugu - This gives you the algorithm to decipher the second coded message. For each letter of the scrambled text, either choose the next letter, or the previous letter in the alphabet, with Z and A wrapping around to each other. Starting with the first letter of the message, the pattern is (next), (next), (previous)…, as shown below.
