I've noticed there is a serious lack of cart guides out there, perhaps none at all, which is why I have decided to make one for all of you knowledge-craving players.
As you all know, to actually ride a cart you must be at least level 50. But you should start collecting pieces for the actual cart MUCH earlier. These can either be bought from Mildun in Junon Polis, traded for 160 Union Pts. at any of the 4 unions, or created by a Dealer(I'm not sure how to go about doing such a thing, but I've heard there are blueprints for carts and stuff and that you need a Dealer to put the pieces together. Whether or not this is easier then paying or trading, or even true for that matter, I do not know.).
Now, you can use whichever method you like, it really doesn't make any difference other than the costs. I personally prefer the Union method, and if you choose to do it this way, I advise you start WAY in advance as 160 Union pts. may take a long time. If you wish to purchase all the parts from the cart shop, the total comes to around 350,000z... Pretty pricy, eh? I hear it's pretty hard for muses to collect Union pts. so it "may" be a better idea for them to buy the parts.
At any rate, after you have your parts and have reached level 50 (You can probably do this quest without your parts, but I had mine already), it's time to do the long and tedious cart quest, which will ultimately earn you your license.
To begin, head to Mildun in Junon and ask him for your license. He will try to frighten you at first by saying you can't get the license, but have no fear! After a whole bunch of boring dialogue, he'll direct you to an NPC in the Adventure Plain who's name I am failing to remember... Starts with an "M" though I believe.
Anywho, head to the Plain and go down to the bottom right and look for the NPC on your map. After talking to this guy, he will direct you to Ruth at the Beach of Genzi. Head all the way to the beach and pay a visit to Ruth located on the far right side.
You'll be redirected to Mildun back in Junon. Now I bet you are hoping the quest is over, right? Wrong!
The little twit wants you to destroy the evidence you have, which apparently are the 3 scrolls you got throughout your journey up to this point in your Quest menu. Sounds easy, right? Wrong!
Now you have to head to the Cave of Goblins. Once there, start looking for Coal Miner GoblinWorkers who are most commonly found in the area in the bottom-left. By killing these goblins, one by one you will lose each of the 3 scrolls. Don't worry if you don't lose one on your first try, tenth try, or even fiftieth try for that matter. The chances of a scroll disappearing upon the death of a coal miner is extremely rare and this part of the quest could very well take many many hours.
After you've had the time of your life slaughtering those goblins, head back to Mildun in Junon for one last time to learn the Cart Skill and be joyous that you will never have to do that quest again! =D
