QUEST :
AF1 Weapons (40) - Anju & Zushio - Ryoma (Norg H-8)
Prerequisites: NIN lvl 40+
You should receive a Cutscene when you speak with Ryoma. After this, your next stop is Port Bastok and Warehouse #2. On the top floor you will find Kagetora (Port Bastok F-6). The last person you need to speak to before the meat of this quest is Ensetsu (Port Bastok I-5). He was involved with the NIN Flag quest if you can remember back that far.
This will all send you to Eastern Altepa Desert, in a little alcove Northeast of the Teleport Crystal. In the back you will find a ??? (East Altepa Desert H-6) along with a bunch of other critters. This will spawn 2 NM Spiders, so as a precaution, you may want to clear the area of any other spiders. WARNING: An Earth Elemental spawns in this area as well, so be wary if you don't have means to handle this aggro while fighting the NM's.
Upon clicking the ???, you will find two NM Spiders both named Tsuchigumo. I don't recall them using anything past typical spider moves, just be prepared to handle two of them. STRATEGY NOTE: I've read reports of people using sneak/silent oil prior to spawning these, and pulling only one spider to fight. The other will despawn after a short time (2 minutes estimated). As long as you spawn them and succeed in defeating one, you will be able to complete the quest. If you plan to solo, bring a few Antidotes as the Spider's Poison can be dangerous (reported 25 a tick by Meyoh, thanks for the Antidote tip). Once the spider/s are defeated, examine the ??? again for a Key Item: Trick Box. Return this item to Ensetsu in Port Bastok and then Ryoma in Norg and you will receive your katanas.
Personal Comments: This was completed by a WHM, RDM and BLM 56-58 without any issue. The spiders took a while to widdle down (however a NIN at 40 has close to the same dmg output as a mage melee) and provided little threat. Not sure how tough this would be to solo, but it is not one of the harder AF1's to do.
