* Speak to [[Naiko-Paneiko]] in [[Windurst Waters|Southern Windurst Waters]] (C-11) at The Tarutaru Times Company to begin the quest.
* Speak to the following NPCs to retrieve [[:Category:Key Items|key items]]:
** [[Kyume-Romeh]] in [[Windurst Waters|Northern Windurst Waters]] (F-10) in the Timbre Timbers Tavern for {{KI}} [[Windurst Waters scoop]]
** [[Hiwon-Biwon]] in [[Windurst Walls]] (K-8) by Shanttoto's House for {{KI}} [[Windurst Walls scoop]]
** [[Umumu]] in [[Windurst Woods]] (I-6) near the Dhamel Farm for {{KI}} [[Windurst Woods scoop]]
** [[Yujuju]] in [[Port Windurst]] (M-6) by the Air Travel Agency for {{KI}} [[Port Windurst scoop]].
* Return to Naiko-Paneiko, he will request that you check out a lead in the [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]].
* Enter from [[East Sarutabaruta]] (J-7) to enter the first map of [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]].
* Examine the Cracked Wall at (G-8) to enter the second map.
** The Cracked Wall at (G-9) can be used as an alternative if you do not have a way to apply [[Invisible (Status)]] once past the door to avoid goblin aggro.
** Low level players may notice the monsters on the second map are much higher level, but should not panic. Only "evil" mobs are aggressive. See notes below for more info.
* Examine the Mahogany Door at (G-8) to get a message to confirm the {{KI}} [[Windurst Woods scoop]].
* Return to Naiko-Paneiko to finish the quest and receive your reward.

== Notes ==
* What low level players should know about Incredibly Tough mobs (level 79-92) in beginner zones such as [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]].
** Why they are here:
*** After the level cap was raised beyond 75 in the Abyssea era, SE decided to repurpose some of the many underutilized low level zones into leveling camps for level 75+.
** These changes should not disrupt new players:
*** Regular wildlife ([[:Category:Beasts|Beasts]], [[:Category:Vermin|Vermin]], etc.) will be non-aggressive. You can walk past them.
*** Evil creatures ([[:Category:Undead|Undead]], [[:Category:Beastmen|Beastmen]], [[:Category:Demons|Demons]] will still be [[aggressive]] and should be avoided.
**** You do not need [[Sneak]] and [[Invisible]] usually. Check for alternative tunnels where these creatures are not present.
**** At [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]], the southern tunnel marked '''B''' on the maps do not have skeletons or goblins.
** To look up the level of an Incredibly Tough mob, you can look at the zone pages on this wiki, or the [[Grounds Tome]]s in middle lands areas.
* Summary
** Deathwatch Beetle and Troika Bats: ignore them and they'll ignore you.
** Goblins : If they [[Aggressive#Sight|see]] {{Sight}} you, they will attack. Stay more than [[Yalm|10y]] away (roughly half the width of the tunnel), be careful around (H-8).
** Skeletons: If they [[Aggressive#Sound|hear]] {{Sound}} you or your {{HP}} [[Hit Points]] are below 80%, they will attack. Stay more than [[Yalm|10y]] away, these are also around (H-8), further ahead than the goblins.
** The aggressive enemies can be avoided without Sneak/Invisible by using the southern tunnel marked '''B''' and staying to the left while going toward the Mahogany Door.
