so uh how the f do i get a mithrilbucket exactly? am i just suppose to continue on the sidequests or what?
You need to have built the workshop (warmap) so girl appears on left to talk to. That means tier whatever nation and resources. You need to capture X of various monsters one of which is only in dorganias dungeons to actually finish things up so keep in mind. Then you need to go to the university and hand professor the various monster items he requests. He'll give you a recipe for a mythril bucket/magic ehanced mythril. This is a vital step. If you don't turn in items to him you don't get a myth bucket recipe.
Then you want some waterbuckets (water fairies drop, lil blue fairies that respawn all over). Craft some "mythril buckets". Have the deep mine built (warmap) , may need to talk to guy and exit a few times for the expansion to happen, go to it with at least 2 mythril buckets, stand on sparkle spot near all that black iron ore, and now you got lava buckets.
Then craft them and go report to the workshop having those captured monsters. PHEW
