How soon is too soon to start looking for RSE?
It's never too soon, per se, but if you had Sneak and Invisible it would probably be better than having your helpers do it for you. RSE requires you to look for a chest and open it in one of three area's: Ordelle's Caves, Maze of Shakikrami, or Gusgen Mines.
As mentioned, you must activate the quest in Jeuno first. The other catch is that it has to be YOUR race's game week in order to get RSE. The Goblin will say something along the lines of 'Hume female in Gusgen' which means that that race can go at that time to try and get their key and chest. This week will alternate between all the races and the time period from the minute the Goblin announces it is eight hours. (I believe).
Getting the key and finding the chest is obviously the hard part. I did my RSE as a 30RDM with a 41WAR helping me, so obviously you don't have to drag out the whole brigade to do it. After you kill key mobs, you run around the area looking for a chest. If it indeed your week AND you have the quest activated, once you pop the chest you will obtain key item: magical pattern. Then you just head back to Jeuno and trade it to the Gobbie for your RSE.
There are sites that provide race times, key mob lists, and chest spawn points -- unfortunately I don't have those at my disposal right now. ><
Hope this helps! ^^
