Quicksand Caves: F-7 of the D-12 entrance of Western Altep, its on the right wall before you drop down.

After completing all 3, you get 12 trail cookies and 3000 conquest points. Zoning lets you get another quest by selecting the blank option, where you have to revisit waypoints due to them "malfunctioning" You get 3 choices of waypoints: "Tough as butter" "Tough as nails" and "Tough as diamonds"

Picking diamonds got me warped to attohwa, at Tiamat's location. Back up the mountain I go.

1500 limit points at the fount, 12 more trail cookies and 800 conquest points for completing that. The last quest is repeatable without zoning.

Tough as butter got me warped to konschtat highlands. 400 xp, 3 trail cookies and 200 conquest points.

I assume tough as nails is 6 cookies and 400 conquest points, but I'll verify it.
Jugner forest this time. 1500 xp, and 6 cookies/400 conquest points as expected.

wow i must say... once you've done the quest.. between outpost tele, abyssea warp, vw tele and this.. theres really a lot of options for getting around now. i suppose this is their way of improving the game's QoL.

based on the dats, it seems like adoulin features intratown teles as well.. kinda like aethernet in XIV

Figures the best Usukane+1 piece for MNK is the one I never finished.

Omg unending free xp/cps from a quest!?! But I though that's reason they had to limit things like supply quest to once a real day!!! Did you check to see if you can "cheat" your way there? Wonder if it scales with lvl as well... not that xp is hard to come by but meh lazy way to 30

Also yeah loving these easy if oddly located warps for mules to get

OK someone is gonna have to explain/link to directions for this uleg one.

When you say "top of the mountain" and "Top ENM entrance" do you mean top of the map? or do you have to run all the way around the map near jormungand?

And where's this "ice wall"? is that the location where you pop ironclad in abyssea-uleg?

[Jeryhn]

In the small area east of Jorm's pop area (yes you have to run all the way up), there's a frozen waterfall. The tunnel is there.
If ice weather is active in the area, an ice wall will be sealing the tunnel. You'll have to wait for weather to subside.

Right, so that's the area where you pop Ironclad, correct?

[Jeryhn]

Yes it is.

[Spira]

Odd thing. It's map 2 on other wiki but is listed as map 3 for bgwiki

[fantasticdan]

Does everything outside of the +1 salvage armor (and it's neolimbus-esque alternate versions) come from meebles?

Most likely. New Meeble Burrows missions will be added in about a month (based on what SE said). They will be divided across three ranks entered from Batallia Downs (Adjunct, Instructor, and Researcher), and there will be a fourth boss similar to how Umagrhk is a sixth boss after the five ranks. That means there have to be at least 3 or so drops associated with each boss and probably another 15 or so new ones purchasable with marks.

otherwiki is correct. considering how they now allow you to change maps in-game, the map with the Temple Guardian is the 2nd in the list.

i really wish they added these waypoints earlier. the attohwa and ule ones are godsends. don't have to climb the tor or trek up the range again XD

Wild speculation but I would hazard a guess at the Gnat thing being the endboss. The staff has an NQ/HQ variant and the model has the Gnat at the top of it and it's not ra/ex. That would lead me to think it's craftable with something the Gnat drops.

Pure speculation though.

[Spira]

btw, for those doing the waypoint collection..

for Quicksand Caves, its on the way to the Chamber of Oracles.. and passes thru 2 weighted doors.. so if you should have the loadstone quest done if you're doing this solo (or not galka).

dayum. speedy way to get to Chamber of Oracles too now.

In case anybody is wondering, Embrava works like normal in old Salvage.
