Quick Guide to:

Title Changing NPCs
Bastok Port - Tuh Almobankha (I-7)
Lower Jeuno - Tuh Almobankha (I-8)
Kazham - Eron-Tomaron (G-7)
Norg - Quntsu-Nointsu G-7
Mhaura - Willah Maratahya (I-8)
Rabao - Shupah Mujuuk (G-8)
San d'Oria South - Moozo-Koozo (K-6)
Selbina - Yulon-Polon (I-9)
Windurst Walls - Burute-Sorute (H-10)

Each NPC generally has the titles for quests related to the city they're in. The Amount of Gil you Pay reflects the Fame level requirement of the Quest. For example, with Burute-Sorute, 100 Gil I could get Crawler Culler. 500 I can get Heir of the New Moon.

Hey Amano, what happened when you examine the run on thunder day? so far we have you with appropriate partner examining it on the wrong day, and twilight examining it without a partner. What happens if you examine it on the right elemental day with a partner?

Also, what happends when you talk to her when you and your partner have corresponding titles to each other?

I just wanted to confirm that the Virtue Stone is not a reward of this "quest." The Virtue Stone is a reward for trading lumorian organs to Meret in the Tav. Safehold. She is located next 'In the Name of Science' NPC and you have to have completed that quest in order to get anything from Meret.

In regards to the new Fortune Teller "quest" I do have to say reading everyones' thoughts on this has been very amusing, but everyone has done a great job of putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I am sure you will have this figure out before long since you sound to be on the right track now.

Well there is not much I can do to contribute to this work, but it seems that people are trying to figure out where to change their Titles. At this site, it tells where to go to get what Title and which Quest gives it. http://www.animelyrics.com/sbacon/finalfantasyxititles.html

I'll post back here when I can get to Mhaura and get my fortune.

I am just guessing, but from the duplicate colors for a given direction listed in http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=1121894113874885374&num=0, I would imagine there are a 'fixed' number of points, and that you might get any particular color (element) for each point.

If true the question would be, is there some pattern to the direction and / or color you get. The most obvious would be that the color is job related. Since there are more jobs than elements, some jobs would share an element. It would be interesting to see if we can find an instance of the same job resulting in different elements.

In response to the question asked.

My room mate has "West/Northwest."
Purple.

I took him to Lufaise, we are both each others "ideal" title. It is not lightningsday yet... however, he tried examining it, trading a lightning crystal, a stack of them, a cluster, and a purple chip to it, with different combinations. It has done nothing thus far.

I really need people to confirm some locations for these. No matter what your color or what day it is, anything. If you take your location given by the NPC and try the different luck runes, you can help me confirm these.

If it is not the right rune, it will say "You don't notice anything out of the ordinary." Or something very similar.

If it IS the matching rune for the direction, it will give you a message about feeling as though you will have luck.

All I need you to do in that case is tell me what direction the NPC told you, and which rune you checked. I need these confirmed, please. :P

Maybe examining the rune increases drop rates or something for a short while after examining it? I would hope theres more to this, but that's just a thought.

Big development!
First.. Great Distance NW must be Xarcabard..

Also.. though not positive.. this means that your "lucky day" will be the day that is strong against your lucky element?

Perhaps if you had done this with a prtner of the right title, you'd have gotten something else?

Yes...but we didn't have our partner there so better prizes may be provided with them.

Also, it would appear that the West-Northwest is the Pashow Marshlands Luck Rune, according to Xerina's findings.


Xerina said Pshhow didn't work. Amano has already said that WNW was Lufaise, and that's where Xerina was as well.. Don't confuse us. XD

if it says you find nothing out of the ordinary it's not your rune.

anyway... i was kinda expecting crystals it's what you get from the other fortune tellers.

but i'm going to see if i can get another fortune and try again

My brother (DRK56 Tarutaru Windurst Rank 5) got his Fortune read:
Blue
West
"New "Best of the West" Recruit"
"The Hippogryph has fair feathers and foul feet"


Not much I can do to help, but I hope this helps a bit.

Read more carefully, please.

Xerina reported that changing elemental resist at the rune that already said your color may bring you luck will land you a few crystals. Doing so at a rune that says nothing has never changed anything for anything.
