Second, you’ll need to find a place to farm the rare materials needed for the weave. Third, you’ll need to find a way to make the weaver’s outfit. Fourth, you’ll need to find a way to get the rare materials from the farms.
To weave the Master Weaver VI recipe book, you’ll need the Master Weaver VI Recipe Book. This can be obtained from a number of Vendors, but for simplicity’s sake we’ll grab it from the Scrip Exchange.
The Scrip Exchange (Rhalgr’s Reach – Starfall, X:10 Y:12) will sell you a book for 100 White Crafter Scrips. Pop the book from your inventory to acquire all of its recipes. They’ll be located under Master Recipe (6) in the second tab of your Crafting Log.
Next, you’ll need to gather up all the materials that make up your future Minion. The reason you’re grabbing your Master Weaver VI Book here is because it makes the first two materials right next to you.
Byakko Cub Materials & Acquisition
Twinsilk x1 – This can be purchased from the nearby Material Supplier (Rhalgr’s Reach – Starfall, X:10 Y:12) for 4,556 Gil. Worsted Yarn x1 – The same Vendor will sell this material for 2,442 Gil. Royal Fern x1 – This material can unfortunately only be obtained through crossbreeding. You’ll have to roll up your sleeves and get into your garden.
To get Royal Fern Sori, you’ll need to plant Blood Pepper Seeds and Old World Fig Seeds. ..
Blood Pepper Seeds are yet another crossbreed, so we’ll need to get those first by breeding Glazenut and Chive Seeds. Crossbreed Prickly Pineapple (Harvest at 9 AM Eorzean Time in Costa Del Sol, Slot 1) and Old World Fig (Harvest in the Dravanian Forelands at 2 AM/PM ET). Crossbreed Dzemael Tomato (Harvest in Eastern La Noscea at 1 PM ET) with Midland Cabbage (Harvest in North Shroud, any time) to get Dalamud Popotos. Then Crossbreed Dalamud Popotos and Dzemael Tomato to get your Chive Seeds.
The Byakko’s Mane is a unique item that can only be obtained through two challenges, both of which require you to face Byakko himself. The first challenge is found rarely as a drop from the coffer that appears after defeating Byakko, or through Desynthesis. The second challenge is to win loot rolls in any weapons and weapon chests that drop.
The Jade Stoa is a new area added in Patch 4.2 of the Stormblood Expansion. It is unlocked through the Quest “Songs in the Key of Kugane” by speaking with the Wandering Minstrel (Kugane – Kogane Dori Marketplace, X:12 Y:13).
Farm life can be a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun when you have friends by your side. Bringing along a few friends can make the process go much more quickly, so you can get back to enjoying your time on the farm. ..
You could solo it on a Tank, but it’ll take you ten times longer to do so. I know because I did it for research purposes – don’t be like me.
If you find yourself with some extra Byakko’s Manes, great news. You can turn them into a bunch of fancy weaponry! They also sell relatively well on the market due to their special particle effects.
If you have motivations beyond getting that coveted Byakko Cub Minion, then by all means, go ahead and get it.
If you’re not into farming, you can get a Minion randomly from Bozja and Zadnor’s Shadowbringers Relic Weapon zones. They might contain a variety of Minions, so it’s worth checking out. ..
It’s not quite as straightforward as it seems. But if you can get your head around it, gardening can be a lot less time-consuming and more fun.
