Blue Ribbon Blues

I've sent most the morning doing all the pre-quest and finally get up to the Blue Ribbon Blues quest. Did everything, pop the NM, killed it and forgot to click the bones to get the ribbon back.

I ran all the way back to the hume bones and all I get it is "There small pile bones" or w/e. So I ran out of time on getting the ribbon back.

Went back to windy, talked to Kerutoto who yells at me for losing the blue ribbon and tells me it'll go back to it owner. Went back to Roberta and all she says to me is "That ribbon is not for sale, and I certaintly wouldn't buy it back from anyone. Yet, somehow it manages to come back here to me...."

I zoned out of windy, came back in and talk to Kerutoto again who goes over the starting lines for the quest again, about how he investigate it cursed items. Thought I was good now and that I could go back to Roberta and get the ribbon again. Low and behold though, she just gives me the same line and ribbon.

I've read random reports from waiting until the next conquest tally (and even then people reported not being able to get the ribbon) and some people just talking to Kerutoto again and getting the ribbon right away from Roberta.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is? :( Can't do my SMN AF or Fenrir until I'm able to move on passed this quest and I sure don't want to wait and try and find 3 mages or someone with a portal charm unless I'm forced too. (lol, my ls has all sandy people in it at the moment >.<)

I checked the quest and unfortunately it says it's not repeatable. Have you tried going back and fighting the Hume bones again?

Doing Windy Missions through Rank 4 will get you the Portal Charm and access to Toraimarai Canal.
