Tiamaranta Daily Quests: Flavia's Proof

This quest is picked up from NPC Flavia,  who can be found in Petro Outpost in Tiamaranta.  If you're new to Tia,  fly from Rancora Fort to Notus Outpost and from there fly to Petro Outpost.   Flavia is standing inside one of the tents.  She gives you a daily quest called Flavia's Proof,
which asks you to get 10 Tiamat Legion Epaulets.  This quest can be repeated daily 30 times.  The reward for completion is a contribution bundle,  which gives you an AP relic or a mithril medal. 

Talking to Flavia in Petro Outpost

Where are the Epaulets gotten?  From female Balaur mobs in Tiamaranta's Eye.  These mobs are found in the side rooms called antechambers and in the central rooms that surround the commander's room.  The drop rate isn't the best,  I'd say 1 in 5, but it varies so you'll have to find out for yourself. 
I find that the drop rate is in waves,  meaning that for awhile there won't be any drops and then finally they'll drop one after the other,  e.g.  I'll kill 7 mobs,  get no drops,  then the next 2 or 3 will drop the epaulets,  then back to no drops for awhile. 
In the above pic I'm completing my 30th and final rep of the daily quest.   The good news is that after you compete the daily 30x,  you're given a new quest called "Their Deaths Are Legion",  which offers
a set of wings called Arcanus' wing feather as the reward. 


Taking the quest that offers the wing feather

 

The quest asks you to obtain 150 Legion Epaulets,  which is alot and should keep you busy for some time.  I know it has for me,  but I really could use the new wings!
