Embark on Professor Rurusha's New Friend quest in FFXIV Endwalker! Find Rurusha in Old Sharlayan and complete this Faculty of Archaeology quest to earn valuable rewards.

Alright, let's dive into another one of those Faculty of Archaeology quests in FFXIV: Endwalker! This one's called "Professor Rurusha's New Friend," and it's a Level 80 quest. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward, and we'll get you through it in no time.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where to Start: First things first, make sure you've met the prerequisites: you need "Facet of Forging" (which means having Blacksmith, Armorer, or Goldsmith at Level 80) and "The Faculty" quest completed, also at Level 80. If you've got those, you're good to go!
  2. 2
    Finding Boric: Your quest giver is an NPC named Boric. You'll find him in Old Sharlayan, specifically within The Studium. The coordinates are X: 4.3, Y: 9.4. The closest Aetheryte to get you there quickly is also The Studium in Old Sharlayan.
  3. 3
    Search for Rurusha: Once you talk to Boric, he'll give you the objective to search for Professor Rurusha. Follow the quest markers on your map – they'll guide you directly to her. It's usually a short walk within the same area.
  4. 4
    Speak with Rurusha: After you've found her, simply interact with Professor Rurusha to complete this part of the quest. She's the one you were looking for!
  • Upon completion, you'll bag a nice chunk of EXP – 112,200 to be exact.
  • You'll also get 615 Gil.
  • And as a bonus, you'll receive 2 Chili Crab items, which are pretty handy for buffs.

Unlocks:

  • This quest also unlocks the next one in the chain, "The Dormant Dhyata," which is also a Level 80 quest.
Tips
  • Make sure your Grand Company rank is high enough if you haven't unlocked the prerequisite quests yet. Sometimes these things can be tied to your overall progression.
  • Keep an eye on your map for the little blue quest markers – they're your best friend for navigating these quests quickly.
  • Don't forget to check the rewards! Sometimes the items you get can be useful for other crafting or combat jobs.
