By this, I am not saying that I'm some great authority on this quest or anything; I've only done it once. But I'm telling yall how I went about doing it... Perhaps yall could learn from my mistakes or add your own advice. Its a long read but I figure if ur reading for the info, then u wouldnt mind
I took all my info from allakazam ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=Jeuno&fquest=282 and somepage (marked my maps) www.ffxi-atlas.com/nav/?act=show&id=castle_oztroja
Orcish crest:
I did this first cuz I was more familiar with Davoi than the other 3 (fom sandy).
I entered monastic cavern at H-11 (southmosth cul-de-sac looking thing). Put up invis and zoned back into davoi by hugging the right wall. I davoi go up the ramp and accross the bridge, take a right to the banishing wall J-9. when all orcs are looking the opposite direction, drop invis, touch the wall and put invis back up with the quickness. Make a U-turn and go straight till u hit a wooden fort thing with the Taru on it J-8.
He'll give u an orb and u have to dip it into the 4 pools in davoi so go back to davoi the way u came through the same zone in monastic cavern I-11. You can see 3 of the pools on the map H-10, L-9, E-8... they r on the map (I invised the whle whole thru). The last one is harder (or maybe Im slow -u pick) Go to the northmost point of the river H-6 to a point that is off the map. When u cant go any more north, go east and there is the last pool. U'll get cursed so invis back up and go back to the taru. He'll uncurse u so rest back up, invis and go backto the banishing gate. I waited for the orcs to turn around and dropped invis. One saw me and started pelting me and I couldnt touch the gate right away. When i finally did i was down to ~250 and made a run for zone which was 3 steps away. Hug the left wall and click the ? at J-6 and warp out.
Quadav crest:
Prob the easiest one. Went to beadeuax went to tunnel H-7 out again at F-8 on underground map. Hug the right wall and drop in at the NE corner of the map and enter tunnel at K-6. At this point i used sneak. there are some afflictors that curse u but i didnt bother shutting them i just went sneaked and cursed. Go to M-8 on underground map. Head to the room and I-6 and wait for all the quadavs to walk away from the ? (FAR away). touch the ? and warp out.
Yagudo crest:
This is COMPLICATED but not hard. I took a good 20 mins reading through the materials and planning a path (alot of the corridors on the map are blocked). I waited till time was 00:00 b4 i got the first password. They change every Vana day. U'll be asked for 3 passwords that u type in at the last statue to open the door to the ?
1st statue:
This is staight forward. Went to H-9 on the first map to the brass door. openned it and got the password (waited till 00:00).
2nd stutue:
Zoned out of first map at H-9. There are brass doors u have to open but since u did rank 5 already u know about the drop and all that.
On 2nd map i hugged the right wall NOT TAKING THE FIRST RIGHT TURN and then hugged it again till i got outside. Once outside hug the right wall again till u get inside again. Once inside head to I-9 to ge tthe 2nd password.
3rd statue:
Go back outside the way u came. Hug the left wall same as when u came and go back inside. Refer to this website www.ffxi-atlas.com/nav/?act=show&id=castle_oztroja and plan ur path to I-8 on Floor 2 (there are many barricaded hallways). Get the 3rd password. I had plenty of time left and hadnt used one invis yet.
Go to the brass door on that map at G-8 and play with the 4 levers. I dont know the code i just played around till it openned. At this point i invised and stuck to the right wall till next map. This is wher ei got lucky cuz ur supposed to invis, light a torch when yags werent loooking (cuz they're pretty tough here) flee and invis again (cuz i guess flee cancales invis) and run thru the door b4 it closed, but there were high lvl people there killing the yags so i just fled in peace. Got to the statue and manually type in paswords. I did it in the order i got them... the hole drops and u'll be in the place with lots of high lvl yags and a NM (highpriest) if ur 1337 ull drop invis when they arent looking touch the ? and warp the hell outta there but I was discovered with i dropped invis and got crest. Tried to warp out but NM was pounding me from behind. And gang rapage insuude...
Thats it. I tried to be as clear as I could to take the guess work out. It was annoying trying to read ambiguous guides. I've been writing this for an hour and I cant believe I STILL dont have a party ; ;

a lot easier than trying to find the right combination.
