I just spent a few hours looking for the "???" in Yhoator Jungle for Stop Your Whining. FFXIclopedia has a very useful map.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the mythical "???" of legend anywhere, including the spots marked in the map. The only "???" I found was at Teardrop Spring, and that didn't do anything.

So, my question is, since the wiki appears to be wrong...

a) What should I do, besides getting a party together to comb the jungle?

b) What resets the location of the "???"?

Thank you in advance! I've been very frustrated by this quest.

I too was frustrated with a quest.. The RDM AF1 sword quest. I spent Hours in Davoi trying to find the "storage hole" (yes insert joke here)

Finally after some rest, I came back to Davoi and was able to find it. Wiki was right, but I was too frustrated, and too tired to really focus like I should.

So keep trying and STOP YOUR WHINING (jk)!!

Well...thanks for your replies, guys. No success so far. Any idea what causes the "???" spawn point to change?

Nada on the spawn point to change, other than someone else finding it first.

Trust me, I had a horrible time with this quest as well, even looking at all the points listed on the map. I was always wondering if someone else had gotten to it first (it was a pretty popular quest then)

Eventually I was just running by on a chocobo not even looking forward and I found it lol

Yah, I just got in the habit of clicking any and all ???'s whenever I'd see them while I would happen to be out there and one day I randomly got it.

Nope, I scouted the entire jungle, several times, and the only ???'s were the one at Teardrop spring and the one for one of the Ninja AF quests. Anyone have any idea why the ??? isn't showing up for me? Or how to change the spawn point?

If not, anyone in Gilgamesh willing to help me out?

I cannot help you because I'm on Cerb :( I do have a question for you:

Have you checked your key items and made sure that you had the Key Item Empty Barrel? Double check and make sure you have that item :)

I do indeed have the Empty barrel. I made sure to talk to the quest giver back in Norg (Wasshu or something) and it's in my key items...but the ??? doesn't show up anywhere.
