Question

where do i find the Tournesol sword and the Zodiac Escutcheon sheild please good detail?

Answer 1

I have just recently made the Tournesol, and it was quite a task!

As you may know, certain Bazaar packages are repeatable, but I know that Tournesol is not repeatable, so you'll only be able to get one.

Here, I'll tell you where to get/find the ingredients:

Tournesol requires the items: Gemsteel x3, Empyreal Soul x3, Serpentarius x3

Now, it takes other items to make these items though, which is why Tournesol can be so tedious to make.

Ingredients for Gemsteel

Scarletite
-Drops from Emeralditan at the Nabreus Deadlands
-Steal from rare monster, Aspidochelon, at Cerobi Steppe
-50% chance of getting as a prize for a perfect when fishing at Den of the River Lord

Damascus Steel
-Drops from Bune at the Pharos Subterra
-Steal from rare monster, Vishno, at the Pharos at Ridorana
-Steal from rare monster, Anchag, at Paramina Rift
-Steal from rare monster, Bluesang, at Cerobi Steppe

Hell-Gate's Flame
-Drops from Cerberus at the Feywood

Ingredients for Empyreal Soul

Soul Powder
-Drops from Etem at the Henne Mines secret area
-Steal from rare monster, Vorres, in the Necrohol of Nabudis

Wargod's Band
-Drops from Leynir at the Nabreus Deadlands
-Steal from rare monster, Victanir, at the Nam-Yensa Sandsea

High Arcana
-Drops from some monsters after obtaining the Key Item, Canopic Jar
-Sell Arcana x10, Feystone x1, Soul of Thamasa to Bazaar
-Stolen from Espers

Ingredients for Serpentarius

Snake Skin
-Drops/Steal from Wildsnake at the Giza Plains (dry)
-Drops from rare monster, Grey Molter, at the Mosphoran Highwaste
-Drops from rare monster, Midgardsormr, at the Golmore Jungle

Serpent Eye
-Drops from Basilisk at the Feywood

High Arcana
-see above

------------------------------...

Also, some useful information:

-One Gemsteel can be obtained as a Clan Reward from Montblanc
-One Empyreal Soul can be obtained as a Clan Reward from Montblanc
-One Serpentarius can be obtained as a Clan Reward from Montblanc
-You can steal a Serpentarius from Zodiark

-High Arcana can be found/stolen, but as I mentioned above you can create it through the Bazaar. Here is how you can get the ingredients:

Ingredients for High Arcana

Arcana
-Drops from all monsters after obtaining the Key Item, Canopic Jar

Feystone
-Drops/Steal from any of the "Entite" enemies

Soul of Thamasa
-Drops from Oversoul at the Necrohol of Nabudis
-Steal from rare monster, Ishteen, at the Barheim Passage
-Reward for completing the hunt, Dead City Watch, by defeating Deathscythe

The Zodiac Escutcheon is a treasure in the Great Crystal upper layer, and in the Barheim Passage. Make sure you have a Diamond Armlet equipped, because they are pretty rare. I'd advise saving right before you open the chests, so if you don't get it the first time, just reset it. If I can find exact locations in each of these areas, I'll put it in. Hope this helps!
