Also, the surrounding areas for the 3 main cities tend to have a specific rare card as well. As Eckhart mentioned, S.Gustaberg's rare is Daikoku, I've heard Sarutabaruta's is Jurojin, I'm not sure what Ronfaure's is, maybe *******************

I found all those, and the ebisu card in large quantities in Sauromugue Champaign.

Working with a party of 3 we found 3 sets of 6 cards for the Bamboo and the Costume Belt in just about 2 hours, all in West Ronfare...but we never saw/heard of a card called "Ebisu"

Anyone know where some low-level (under 20) people might be able to find them? :-)

Thanks very much!

No you cannot use the belts outside of town. I really wanted to terrorize people too...

Ranger's Widescan will NOT pick up Overturned Soil, however they will pick up the riders, they will appear as green dots.

Alot of the time you'll find multiple soils right in a row (I once found 5 soils next to eachother), so after you hit a soil, make sure to spin around pressing tab to find any others nearby.

As said before, different areas will drop different cards, I've seen a trend that the higher level zones tend to drop many Ebisus and not many low cards (Bishamon, Benten). Whereas the lower level areas it's the opposite.

Also, the surrounding areas for the 3 main cities tend to have a specific rare card as well. As Eckhart mentioned, S.Gustaberg's rare is Daikoku, I've heard Sarutabaruta's is Jurojin, I'm not sure what Ronfaure's is, maybe ***********

you don't need do a 3rd trade in. I traded my first 3, then got all 7 and traded for choco stable belt.

Can you wear the belts out on the fields?

You should do this in smaller zones, as you don't less ground to cover.

Also, certain cards seem to drop more in some zones than others.

I first did this in East Saruta, as I wanted the Mandragora belt... Daikoku cards dropped up the wazoo there, whereas Jurojin was rare...

Fast forward to doing it in South Gustaberg... so many Jurojin... but only ONE Daikoku.

So yeah. Just my two cents.

The neck gear you get from this, do they recharge?

So the smilebringer's gone, the moogle has a Chocobo, and there are Goblin Riders outside digging in random spots. What do you do now?

To get cards: Go outside and find Overturned Soil, the name is green. You need to just tab around to find it, it doesn't 'look' like anything. There will be goblins on chocobos looking for it, so get there before them. Simply walk up to them and hit enter, you will either get cards (good) or a Wayward Worm (bad). The worm will cast Bind or Bindga at some ridiculously high level, the only way to not be bound is Erase (or maybe Utsusemi, but why would you burn it on this?). It immediately runs away after binding you. For those who might want to try and kill it, I used Eagle Eye Shot on it for 60 damage, and it's life did not move.

Moogle = Event Moogle, the one by the fountain (Bastok), the southern AH (San d'Oria), and the entrance from East Sarutabaruta (Windurst).

First you must trade the moogle the 3 cards that he asks for, I forgot the full names, but they're the 2 that start with a B, and the one with a D. He tells you the names. For this, you will get a Kodomatsu; a mog house decoration. This is repeatable, and the item is not Rare nor Ex.

Then you can turn in any set you want, the easy one yields a belt. To do this, you trade the moogle the Hotei, Jurojin, and ********** cards. The moogle will give you a belt that puts a costume on you. The belt has infinite uses, with a 24 hour recharge timer. Each city gives you a different belt; Bastok has the Worm Belt, San d'Oria has the Bunny Belt, and Windurst has the Mandragora Belt. I'm not sure how long the costume lasts but I assume it's until you take it off.

The last item I know of is the Chocobo Stable warp items. There's 3 different ones, Windy's is a scarf, Sandy's is a collar, and Bastok's is a medal. These have 10 charges on them, and warp you directly to the chocobo stable of the appropriate city. To get the different items, trade the Moogle all 7 cards, which are the 6 already listed, and a rare one called Ebisu. I've hunted for several hours and did not see an Ebisu drop.

Here's a tip; if you see other people hunting for cards, offer to party up with them. Each Overturned Soil you tag gives the treasure pool one card per party member. It makes things go alot faster since you're getting multiple cards with each Soil.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

does the belt have enchanted charges for the costume or do you automatically become a worm/mandy/rabbit when you put it on?

turn in all 7 cards at once in windy and the item will warp you to the windurst chocobo stables

I got the Mandy belt in Windy as well as a furnishing...something called a Kadumatso or something...really neat piece of furniture.

Thanks for the help Slor
