Windurst is set up into 4 major sections: Windurst Port, Windurst Woods, Windurst Waters, and the northern part of the city. Some key things to remember about Windurst is that there are 5 magical centers, each of which really are the backbone to the missions you will receive. Windurst, like all of the other cities in Vana'Diel, is huge, so don't be afraid to just wander around and get yourself lost. Also, use "/map" quite a bit until you are comfortable with the area. The eastern gate, Leviathen Gate, seems to be the most popular, since it is close to the Chocobo stables (where i sell my loot from hunting) and the southern auction house. Anyway, on with the mission details.

Mission 1
Region: East Sarabutra
Recommended level group: 4-5
Recommended solo level: 6-7
Fiends: Battue Bats (easy), Goblins (easy-hard)
Mission 1 is aquired like all the other missions (thus far at least) from one of the gates. Simply talk to a certain NPC (it varies from gate to gate) and they will give you all the details. Go to the orastry once you are done talking to the person at the gate (it is in Port Windurst), and speak to the taru-taru's on the little platform. From there, head out the eastern gate and go northeast to what looks kind of like a misshapen "+" sign on your map, there are at least two of these on your map, make sure you go to the northern one, not the one in the southeast corner. Once there, talk to the NPC and go inside. Head down the corridors into the large square room with pillars and more corridors off of each corner (the room is HUGE, you can't miss it). On the outer perimeter of the wall there should be on one side something that looks like a secret passage, it has lights on both sides of it and you can kind of see that it opens. Go inside, watch the cut scene, and then begin to do as the minister asks. There are roughly 6 gizmo's to be searched, but you will eventually find what you're looking for. Take it back to the orastry and you are all done! Mission 2
Region: East Sarabutra
Recommended level group: 6-8
Recommended solo level: 9-10
Fiends: Battue Bats (easy), Goblins (easy-hard), Blade Bats (medium-hard), Balloons (hard!)
Mission 2 is very similar to mission one, except this mission now requires you to go to the south eastern tower in east sarabutra. First talk to the guard at the gate to get the mission, then go to where he tells you to pick up 6 key items. The place you have to go to is in the same area as the eastern gate. Then, head off into East Sarabutra, this time going to the southeastern "+" type symbol on your map. Go into the tower, plant the key items in the main 4 gizmo's plus the 2 hidden ones that are off to the side (where there are usually lot's of goblins) then go the a third hidden spot and watch the cut scene. Fight the "boss" that appears behind you, then retreive your key items from all 6 gizmos and return to where you aquired the mission. Congrats, mission 2 is done!
Mission 3
Region: West Sarabutra/ Giddeus
Recommended level group: 6-8
Recommended solo level: 9-11
Fiends: Yagudos...all types, range from easy to hard.
This mission is simple enough, just try to avoid contact with fiends and talk to the green colored yagudo's in Giddeus (its the southern path in the northwest corner of West Saratabutra). Give them the key items, return to the place where you attained the mission and you're all set.
P.S. By now, you know where to initially get your missions, and as i am trying to write a somewhat spoiler free mission listing, i'm also trying not to say where you need to go to really start the mission (like what place inside windurst you need to go to).
