In Bastok Mines, behind Tall Mountain, there is an area that is "Off-Limits". Today, when I used the Explorer Moogle in Mhaura to teleport back to Bastok, I somehow ended up in that area and got a cutscene with Tall Mountain scolding me that I wasn't allowed back there and that he didn't know how I got there. Anyone know if this is the start of a quest or something? There is nothing listed under my "Current Quests". Juts seemed odd, never had that happen before.

could be wrong but I believe that CS has always been there from what I remember. Nothing ever happens, he just always says its off limits from then on.

then again I havent played in 2years.

I've had this happen recently when the 10th anniversary mini game was added. its nothing really cuz i noticed the goblin Fablix standing around the corner from Tall Mountain then the goblin disappear after being moved out from the off limits area. prior to this, I've never had this happen prior to this recent update. BTW I'm a 6yr player.

maybe it was implemented for rank 11-15 missions somehow that you "could" talk to him and go past him to go continue.

Isn't that area just the zone in from the boat ride from Palbourogh Mines? And yeah, you do talk with him for a Rank mission.

Kinda sounds like there was some glitch, or a few, that gets you back there. The dialog was their "fix." Idk, though - stuff like that is fun.

the boat ride from Palbourogh Mines places ya at the Zeurin Mines just north of the gate for Korrokka tunnel. The little CS there getting off the boat is also where the Chaosbringer for DRK is located. the area where Tall Mountain is located is just before the Alchamy Guild on the lower level.

Maybe they added getting ported there and the resulting CS as an Easter Egg for the 10th Anniversary? /shrug

Interesting, going to look to see if I can find any dialog about this.

Bastok Mines has 15,751 lines of dialog @.@ but I found this line with some quick searching:

Quote:
10232: I don't know how you got inside, but that area is off limits. Vacate the premises immediately!?Prompt?
Strangely I remember reading this before. I'm not sure how, or why, I got this message before but I too remember reading this years ago.

Also found this browsing the dialog >.>

There have to be certain conditions one must fulfill before you're prompted in such a way. I've gone beyond him illegitimately on more than one occasion, and I'm prompted as if I were standing in front of him.

Looks like it was attached to this dialog.
Code
Dialog Table Entry	15212	Set this area's A flag to:
≺Selection Dialog≻Nowhere.
San d'Oria.
Bastok.
Windurst.≺Prompt≻

Dialog Table Entry	15213	Switch on this area's B flag?
≺Selection Dialog≻No (OFF).
Yes (ON).≺Prompt≻

Dialog Table Entry	15214	Flag settings complete.
A Flag: ≺Multiple Choice (Parameter 0)≻[Nowhere/San/Bas/Win]
B Flag: ≺Multiple Choice (Parameter 1)≻[OFF/ON]≺Prompt≻



It looks like it was involved in some form with the Pre-WoTG event they held called "Crystal War Revisited". to set each individual server's winning country, but I could be wrong. *Shrug*

For a second I thought we were talking about the Galka in Norg that won't let you pass. I, as many others have a well, confuse Galkas. They all look the same 0.0

I'm having trouble understanding how some people are still confused as to which area the OP is referring to.

As do the areas they live in. I kept running to the mines giving my yagudo necklaces to an NPC for Utsusemi for weeks, but apparently I was in the wrong zone. Oops!
