Atempting the 'Bane of the Wolf' story action.

[Isawa Leonard]

hello, i am a lvl 19 Isawa Shugenju and i am atempting to do the Action/mission "Gust of Wind" wich is chapter 1 of the Bane of the Wolf story line. as of yet i cannot find where to aquire the "Hidden Guard Technique" kata that is the requirement. i have the prerequisite 40 spellcraft (without bonuses), i have the required Prayer item in my inventory.

where do i go to aquire the "Hidden Guard Technique"? has anyone aquired it, does anyone know where or how to get it?

Hidden Guard is something you earn after training spellcraft with the Seppun Guard (basic mastery reward). There is a kenjutsu version, and there is of course a spellcraft version.

However you will need to get the appropriate kimono to do anything with the Seppun area. It is northwest of Mantis, and right next to Tortoise lands.

thank you! i would have never have thought to go hunting for the Kata i need way down in the Mantis held archipelago. now i just have to find my way down there. =)

You can also get the elegant kimono from trading silver at Benten Seido, but it's not guaranteed.

i am actualy going the route of coutier.

i went back to my starting area, found the coutier training stuff and did those until i had enough coutier skill to go visit Kyuden Otomo, after that point i roamed about in the Crane held area until i got an Exquisite Fan.

from what i have found i can train with the Otomo to increase my Koku by +5 wich would give me the 10 koku i need. everything else has fallen into place rather nicely.

thank you for sugesting that however. incase this falls through, it gives me a back up idea.
