and eliminate 100 Typhons


Obtaining Typhon Feathers

To obtain Typhon Feathers

you will have to kill Typhons, previously you would have to go through a Jump Quest but thanks to @kitsuoka a fast shortcut makes obtaining the ring a walk in the park.
Once in the typhon map it is HIGHLY recommend to save the map to a teleport rock, falling from the map will result in being teleport away and will require you to walk back to the map.

Obtaining Ores
To obtain Gold Ore and Power Crystal Ore they are acquired through the mining profession.
Go to Ardentmill and pick up the mining profession from Cole
If the Secret Mine does not work in Ardent, forfeit the quest from Cole, don't re-accept the quest and the portal should become functional.
You can do this with level 1 mining, it might take a few attempts to mine several the ores successfully


Bottom right of the map there is a portal

Gold Ore is from mining Gold Veins within Advanced Secret Herb/Mining Patch
Power Crystal Ore is from mining Red Veins within Expert Secret Herb/Mining Patch

Completion
Once you gathered all the materials return to John Barricade and receive your reward.
Talk to John again and he will have a quest to give you the ring.

Congrats you've obtained the Treasure Hunter John's Ring!
This ring can be cubed and transferred through your account, additionally it can also be worn 4 times on a single character. So making alts and repeating the quest will grant you another ring.

Way to get to Valley of heroes (in words):
1. take taxi from NLC.
2. Go up the 1st rope to left and enter the portal.
3. Take the 1st portal to left.
4. Take the 3rd portal to left.
5. Take the furthermost right portal.
6. Take the right of 3 portal.
7. Take lower left portal.
8. Take the furthermost right portal.
9. Take the 2nd portal to the left.
10. Take the left of 3 portal.
11. Take the upper left portal.

xxx to left/right means from where you enter the map.

For those who is better in reading than watching video, and those who get distracted by twice's cheer up in the video (me).

Sorry for necro. There's a way to bypass Valley of Heroes - just airship to Hall of Mastery, then move to Typhons from Crimsonwood Keep. Perfect for lazy bums like me.

Added this into the guide, thanks again for the tip. This should really help players who are turned off by the jump quest go for the ring.

With the recent update, it seems that the quiz quest series can no longer be initiated when talking to Icebyrd Slim in NLC.
The layout of Crimsonwood has also been changed.
Is this ring no longer obtainable via questing?
