Bastok/San d'oria/Jeuno/Selbina/Rabao

Only the Best

Summary: Buy as much Boyahda Moss as you can carry (try for 20 stacks) they cost about 8k at any AH. Trade them to Melyon in Selbina. He will pay you 7200/stack. So you lose 800/stack but it is not in vain as this quests boosts fame in just about everywhere. I started with Rank 6 fame and I traded 20 stacks before warping back to check fame. I was a hero in all the above listed places. You can read more about fame on the main page here by clicking the fame link.

I started with Rank 6 Bastok and San d'oria and after trading 20 stacks I had Rank 9 Fame In Bastok/San d'oria/Jeuno/Selbina/Rabao.

Windurst/Kazham/Muhura

This will be a little more costly. The Beehive chips are about 3.5k/stack and you will only get 1200 back but again this will get you started building fame.

Paying Lip Service

Do the Beehive chip hand in about 5-10 times to get you started with fame. (Only Needed if you have LOW fame).

The All-New C-2000 Do this quest. You need no fame and it is step One.

A Greeting Cardian

Do this quest Next. If you cannot get this quest make sure you have done the The All-New C-2000 above first and you haved ZONED after completeing it. If you STILL cannot get this quest do the Beehive Chip Quest a few more times.

*Note after teaching the Cardian the "bad word" you need a wait 2-3 real life days before the quest will be offered to you. When it is the Cardian is located at the Outpost in Buburimu Peninsula (5 of Spades). When you talk to it, it will refuse to change it's greeting and you just warp back to Windurst after that.

Finally Last step An easy quest to get you Windurst/Kazham fame and make a profit.

The All-New C-3000

Make sure you have zoned after completeing A Greeting Cardian above.

Windurst is usually sold out of the Hecteyes Eyes so buy them in Bastok or San d'oria. The beetle shells cost about 200g each and the eyes about 3k/stack. You get 600g each time you do this quest. Keep trading until you hit Rank 9 Wind fame (shouldn't take long) and you will earn bout 200g each trade. Not alot but helps to make up for the loss you had on the moss.

After Competeing these quests (which if you have the money up front should only take you about 2 hours) you will have Rank 9 Fame everywhere except Norg and will be able to get every quest in the game so far as long as you do all the prerequisite quests first. This will end up costing you anywhere from 20k-50k depending on how many times you need to do the beehive chip quest. If you already have some Windurst fame you can skip the Paying Lip Service and earn all the money back you lost doing Only the Best when you do the The All-New C-3000 quest. I wasted lots of gil as I couldn't figure out why I was unable to get the The All-New C-3000quest so I did the Beehive Chip quest a bunch only to figure out that I was just missing the A Greeting Cardian quest. /cry

Good Luck ˆˆ

EDIT - The less Fame you have starting this quest the more times you need to repeat, but this is still the fastest way to level up your fame.

Also contrary to what I have seen posted elsewhere doing Selbina Quests (ie Paying Lip Service ) does NOT lower your Windurst fame in ANY way.

Hurray for more easy fame posts. I remember reading in that Vanadiel Census that most players don't bother to get much fame, so it never hurts to encourage doing some quests... even if it's cheesy methods. ^^

Here's a few alternatives:
- For the fast Windurst fame with not too much money lost, try buying cornettes for 250 gil in the bastok music shop. The only catch is that they are only in stock at the music shop when bastok is NOT in last. (Which I know never happens on some servers... namely mine. >_< ) Trade them to Yoran Oran in Windurst Walls for 200 gil each. There is no zoning required between trade ins. Just trade, and trade, and trade....

- For Windurst fame with a profit, the ability to farm, and some time to spare, try Twinstone Bonding: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=&fquest=104 Zoning is required, but killing lizards in Meriphataud Mountains is pretty decent farming... and you get fame for it! 900 gil an earring... and check the price of lizard skin stacks on your server. Some fame required to access this repeatable. Zoning is necessary.

I am very much hated by yagudo for slaughtering their kind, but I got enough Norg fame to do all the scroll quests and get my tuning fork of water for Leviathan. It takes you a lot more necklaces than zinc ore, but it's a lot less costly. I think I made 15k after doing this for a few hours... and then I got my 100k Utsesmi scroll (some sneaking required)... fwee. As for getting RANK 9 fame in Norg... *shudder* don't wanna try...
