Windurst Mission 1-2: place six dark Mana Orbs in the Outer Horutoto Ruins gizmos, then collect them again as glowing orbs and return them to Apururu.

Before you start: Windurst citizenship; No other nation mission in progress; Previous Windurst mission completed

Walkthrough:
1. Accept the mission from a Windurst gate guard.
2. Talk to Apururu in the Manustery (H-10), Windurst Woods (H-9), to receive six dark Mana Orbs.
3. Talk to Pore-Ohre at Marguerite Tower, East Sarutabaruta (J-11), to receive the southeastern star charm.
4. Enter Outer Horutoto Ruins through that same Marguerite Tower at (J-11) in East Sarutabaruta. The other three Outer Horutoto entrances lead to separate parts of the ruins.
5. Examine the six Ancient Magical Gizmos inside the Marguerite Tower to place one dark Mana Orb in each.
6. Head east to the cracked wall and examine the Gate: Magical Gizmo behind it for a cutscene; your star charm is used up.
7. Examine each of the six Ancient Magical Gizmos again to collect the six glowing Mana Orbs.
8. Return the orbs to Apururu (H-9) in Windurst Woods.

Good to know: If you zone into East Sarutabaruta while carrying the glowing orbs, Cardians steal them. You then report to Apururu without them and the mission still completes, with a different scene. Warping or using a home point keeps the orbs. Each gizmo takes only one orb.
