Tungi {| Found it! |}

Long ago, before I was overwhelmed by the stupidity of those that shared FFXI with me, I reached level 60 as a warrior/ninja. At that time, I learned of an axe called the Tungi. Hidden deep within the Quicksand Caves and guarded by a faggy Antican that was rumored to bite people on the genitals, the axe was said to contain hidden effects that made the rare/ex item worth the quest. You see, they couldn’t just let you fight the stupid fucking Antican and have him drop the axe. That would be too fucking easy. Instead, you must scurry about the Quicksand Caves in search of a ??? placed on the ground. The ??? was called the Antican Tag, which the homosexual Antican was said to be looking for. Why they can’t just let the Antican pop every couple of hours, I don’t know. What he wanted the tag for, I think it best not to ask. The time I spent wandering about the Caves with no map added up to several days, with no Antican Tag ever found by the time I quit the game. After my return to FFXI, I resumed my search for the tag. As things rare/ex often go with me, I found the tag after only a few hours of searching, but remain unsure whether or not to resume leveling warrior/ninja. With it in my possession, I was ready to kill the goddamn Antican and claim my shiny new Tungi. Or so I thought. Before I quit, the leader of the linkshell I belong to and I attempted to kill the Antican ourselves. We had to fight a few other monsters along the way and made the mistake of bringing the Antican out before she had fully regained her magic points. The Antican killed us both, luckily sparing our genitals. This time, I decided to ask for more help. I asked the entire linkshell to help. Most of them were busy with parties and such, so they could not. Coldwind and Jeangallo where nowhere to be found, but I’m pretty sure they would’ve come out. I don’t mind that, but I would’ve been severely pissed if they were all sitting in town with their thumbs up their asses. Fortunately for me, three brave souls answered the call; Arrmin, a Red Mage I’ve never met before; Larien, one of the few people on my list of trustworthy; and Jedimasta, the Warrior/Ninja that once used my gear to achieve glory. The four of us all traveled through the sands of the Altepa Desert until we reached the entrance to the Quicksand Caves. Goddamn Anticans everywhere, but they could not match the might of everyone but me. Eventually, we found the spot where the Antican could be spawned by trading the Antican Tag away. Immediately after the trade, the Antican pounced, attempting to molest the four of us. This time, with more than just a 75 White Mage with me, the Antican fell! As he died, he dropped the Tungi I so desired as well as about ten different ores. I myself had never seen so much ore drop from one stupid enemy, but that was unimportant. The Tungi was mine! Jedimasta advised me to use it and a Darksteel Axe +1 the next time I want to party as war/nin. As my off-hand weapon is the Bloodsword I don’t think I’ll bother with the +1 Axe. Here’s a picture I took after I got the Tungi. I’m not sure where Arrmin ran off to, but he's not in this one.
