-------------------

Here are a few quests that are actually quite important in doing CoP missions and help a lot in BC fightings. Also included are a few memo on map quests to areas you have to go thus far.

Fomor Exorcism:
Fomors are dark-stalker type mobs that are non-aggro. Every fomor that you defeat will add a certain posessed state in your character. This effect accumulates and makes the fomor mob aware of your presence...to the point they will detect you if you dont have sneak on. To check your possession level, talk to the NPC Resauchamet（K-7) in Tavnazian Safehold top floor. To clear the possession, fight a number of Orcs or Gigas in Lufaise or Misareaux.

Promiuna Aqueduct Map: Find a ??? which spawns randomly inside the Aqueduct storeroom areas (F7, F9, J7, J9) to get the map. Thief tools needed to open Iron Gate...

Pso Xja Map: Treasure Chest. However they are numerous Mimics in there pretending to be a chest. To differentiate, the real treasure chest will not show up on the thf/rng/bst Scan.

Riverne Site B01 Map: Once you are on Mission 4-2, go back to Tavnazian Safehold and talk to Epinolle (near the nomad moogles) for the quest. You will need to fight 3 goblin mobs at the J-6 island and go back to Epinolle to clear the quest. A PT of 6 recommended.

Sacrarium Map: Once you have stepped into Sacrarium before, head back to Tavnazian Safehold to talk to Nivorajean (I-9) at 1st floor to get the quest. Go to Sacrarium to hunt for a chest key that is dropped by the various Fomor mobs there. Once you managed to open the chest for the key item, TAKE DOWN THE POS OF THE CHEST! Return to Safehold and talk to Nivorajean, who will ask you the location where you'd found this map piece. Choose the correct option and he will give you the map.

Shu-Meyu Salt QUEST:
In Ulegerand Range, after going down the first slope, head to the northwest corner of the field where you find a cave. At the first left branch, there is a NPC orc named Buffalostalker Dodzbraz. Bring him 2 Cluster Cores to receive the salt. Cluster Cores are dropped from Atomic Clusters or Odqan. They spawn at Riverne Sites, Misareaux Coast or Lufaise Meadows. However since Riverne has a level cap, they are not advisable. Atomic Clusters spawn at Misareaux/Lufaise during 0300~0700 when the skies are foggy. Foggy skies have a high percentage of happening when there are no elemental weather going on.
The salt is best used during a CoP Bomb BC fight. The salt can prevent the bomb from expanding for 30seconds.

Muddy Siredon Grill QUEST:
Go to Carpenter's Landing via the Jugner Entrance near the Outpost and head to the pier (J-10) to talk to Anguenet. Choose the third route option and he will tip you off about the fabled Muddy Siredon that can be fished up along this swamp route. Go ride the barge along the mentioned route and try to fish up a Muddy Siredon (Rare/Ex). Trade the muddy siredon and 100gil to the tonberry standing behind Anguenet to receive the grill.
The grill's effect is to prevent the Tracker Mithras from having their TP regening in a chapter 5 BC fight.

Mistmelt QUEST:
After stepping into Riverne B01 once, talk to Ferchinne at (F-9) to get the quest. Collect 2 Hippoglyph Tailfeathers dropped from Nimbus Hippoglyphs in Riverne B01 and trade to Ferchinne to get a Mistmelt.
Mistmelt can pull a flying Dragon back onto the ground.

CCB Polymer QUEST:
This quest can only be offered when you have completed Chapter 5 of CoP. Talk to the Mithra innkeeper at Lower Jeuno's Neptune Spire. You will need to collect all 3 different chips in Pso Xja, as mentioned before for the Diabolos BC prep. To get more information on where to get the chips from, refer to Chapter 4.
Trade all 3 chips to Cid at Metalworks to get the item. This item is rumored to stun Omega/Ultima Weapon from using their abilities for 30seconds.
