Windy Fame?Follow

Buy corenettes in bastok music shop, and trade them to some guy in windy, not sure who or where, and I am at work so don't want to spend time looking it up on the net.

I am sure you can find out who to trade them to.

For some reason, repeatable quests don't work for me no matter how many times I do them. So I just went around and did a bunch of Windy quest for fame. They are a lot of fun and you can get some good items for them too. But I would love to figure out why I can't get repeatable quests to work...

I am going to try this trick out today as well...

btw Alerek... give me my cornette's back lol

Wait... Cornette's dont stack do they.... holy crap.... that will take forever!

I'm doing the Drain quest right now... well... trying too! I am doing the Cabbage quest to raise my fame in sandy today.... I have one question, seems my partner in crime for this quest is confused on this.

In order to enter the castle in sandy... does my FAME or RANK need to be 3?

btw I'm from windy

Mandrogora Mad quest (Cornettes, Yuhtunga Sulfur, 4-leaf Mandrogora Buds) Windurst Waters, Yoran-Oran's Manor

Crawler Culler (not sure of the quest title, but you get this dumb title when you do it) Trade Crawler Calculus to the Mithra standing near the Dhalmel farm in Mithra Groves, Windurst Woods

These are both repeatable and yield at least a few hundred gil (600 for 3 crawler calculus, 250 for Yuhtunga sulfur, 200 for cornette)

There is also a repeatable quest with Beehive chips, I think it is the Mithra in Mithra Grove, Windy Woods who is at the table where they sell distilled water.

Windy has ALOT of non-repeatable quests, so just pick some and have at it.

Buy 10 stacks of Bastore Sardines and give yourself about 5 hours.

Then do this quest 70 times.

This should give you well more fame than you will need for most quests. I used this method to get enough fame enough to do the mini-avatar battles based on avatar fame, the big tuning fork battles, and teleport mea as well as Warp II and a few other quests. I did most of the map quests here and a few rounds of cornets and crawler calculi as well though. So, if you haven't done any quests, 10 stacks is nessecary. If you've done about 10 unique quests or so, try 5 or 6 stacks. It takes all day as you have to zone. If you're a age with warp, just cast warp and remember to set your HP at the crystal located right by this quest giver in port.

By the time I was done I was ready to kill tokaka for telling me my fish was substandard. Just say, "ok...you're weird. or, dear god stop fishing!" But noooo, she just kept her act up.

Some Taru.... ><

Namfoodle, thanks for the advice. Guess it's time for me to break down and buy another carbon rod and get to work, since I really would like to recoup that Aspir money, get the map to Fei'yin, etc, etc.

Just to think, I could have done that all along instead of selling off all those sardines I've caught. ><

Don't use cabbage or millioncorn, it takes forever. Buy stacks of Boyhoda moss. stack sells for 7.2k to 7.5k. Melyon will give you 600 gil per moss, one at a time. This = 7.2k per stack you give him so it is basically a wash. But your Jeuno fame will skyrocket. (Helps Bastok and Sandy fame, too...I believe).

I have only completed 2 Non-repeatable Jeuno quests and from hunting Goobbues for tree cuttings and turning in all the Boyhoda moss, my fame level in Jeuno is Hero, which is the best of the best.

I also did the method suggested by Namfoodle, althought I did that as a last resort cause I had just about finished all other unique quests in windy. Now just so you know, I got all my avatars, tele-mea, warp 2, aspir, map of fey'in, etc.. now what I would do so you don't want to kill the Taru fishing guy, do as many uniques as you can, then go check if you can get "a smudge on one's record". If you can get this quest, you will be able to get every other 'significant quest' in windy. I had gotten all the other good quests (the ones mentioned above) and still couldn't get the 'smudge on ones record' so i decided to waste several hours of my life, which I will never get back, trading bastore sardines to the Taru on the dock. Warning...you will want to dropkick him into the far reached of the sea after zoning for the 95th time. Btw I am from Sandy, if that makes any difference

Only problem with this is you have to zone each time after you do the quest and that can take some time. With the corenettes it is really easy if you are rank 5 or have a friend go to bastok and just keep sendin them 2 you. wear no gear and you can carry 40 of the if you didn't do any of the gobbie bag quest. You can just stay at the NPC and keep turning them in. I did this really quickly but I have a air ship pass and all the gobbie bags.

Buy a bunch of coronettes, then send them to yourself. Go into your Bastokan rent-a-room (or mog house) and go to the delivery box. Hit "Return to sender" then go back to the delivery service and send yourself some more coronettes. Rinse, repeat.

This *should* work as an easier way of transporting them.

Its very easy to rate up fame in Windy. Trade Crystals with Guard, that gives you that signet on. Use Earth Crystals, since they arent worth the slot in Auction house sales.

^^ that hint comes from a newb, gah do you even play that game, or do you just looking into your hint lists? :p
