XP Coupon - |Do you want it?| - Tuesdays 8pm ESTFollow

I've gotten lots of requests to help people do this, so I figure I'll just pick a time to do it each week and stick to it.

Escort for Hire - Bastok
Tuesdays @ 8pm EST

Requirements:
- Start the quest >> Trilok - Steaming Sheep - Port Bastok
- Notify me that you wish to attend one hour before 8pm, so starting at 7pm EST.
- Make sure that you can navigate through all parts of Crawlers' Nest without gaining aggro. The only person I should have to worry about is Olavia.
- Be outside Crawlers' Nest ready to go at 8pm EST.

Procedure:
Pretty much follow me. I have seen all three routes and can do it on my own now. If there are monsters that I feel need to be killed to make things easier, I will say. Otherwise, don't engage monsters unless I say so ^^

Reward:
Upon receiving your Certificate of Completion (key item) and returning it to Trilok, you will receive 10000 gil on your first trip. On every trip (including the first one), you will receive a page of Miratete's Memoirs. This page will grant you roughly 800-1500 xp into any job you want to place it towards over level 20.

See ya Tuesdays!

can you start an escort quest in a city if you already have one started in another city, or is it annoying like Eco-Warrior?

two questions:
1) which quest is this? I'd like to do some research so i know what you're talking about
2) Is level 50 too low to do this? cause I know im still gonna get aggro from Exo's and beetles and such.

oh and a compliment ^^, i always like to see nice people on our servers. I thank you for helping out others!

1. If you ever level in garlaige or CN sometime you will see a random NPC show up, in garlaige its a taru, you can't talk to him or nothing. Well the quest is to safely escort the NPC through that dungeon and if he dies, quest is over. So basically NPC run around aggroing everything and you must take care of it for him.

For each of the three dungeon, Eldieme, Crawlers nest, and Garlaige there are quest givers in the respective city to flag the quest. This requires fame also.

2. Yes its too low, it is not recommended for anyone who still grab aggros from the Rumble Crawler level down to do it.

Byaina - From what I understand, a recent patch made it so you can cancel an escort quest that you have accepted. I would try talking to the person who you already have escort for, and seeing if this clears it up. If not, then I don't know :( However, if this becomes popular, I would like to do a round in the other two areas at least once :)

Teets - 1) It's called Escort for Hire, silly! :)
2) What I mean by the statement is that if you know you are going to aggro monsters in Crawlers' Nest, then you should provide your own means of preventing that. Sneak Oils, Prism Powders pretty much, or a WHM sub, or a good friend. Time we spend on people who aggro monsters is time lost for the mission. There is a 30 minute time limit, and usually solo I can get it done in 10-15 minutes. My biggest pet peeve are people who are not professional about getting quests done quickly when there is plenty of information on preparation. Fortunately, if I know where she is going, I can tell others in the alliance to run ahead. We don't all have to travel and follow Olavia together, we just need to all be there when she crosses the finish line.

I'd love to join in, then. :) Will level 62-63 be good enough to get through most of the area without aggro? I haven't been back to CN in ages and ages... I'll bring silents and prisms, naturally.

I'll come along sometime, if I ever get my **** in gear and get the map of CN. ^^

Question to clarify: You only get the 10k gil the first time, but the xp page everytime?

Thanks

Correct.

As far as prism powders and sneak oils, if you don't have any at all, do yourself a favor and just buy one stack of each. You won't need to use all of them for escort, probably only a couple of sneak oils and powders, but since those are a commodity you'll probably always need, you should just keep the extras in your mog safe when you need them in the future, or if you decide to do another escort ^^

Anyone 50+ should just sub WHM if it's at least level 25. One of her routes goes through a helm beetle area.

Doesn't matter what job you bring, only that you can sneak/invis yourself. And uhhh, don't bring a level 20 job. ^^

Congo-rats to Byaina, Malestrom, Cocommi, and Delo for being involved in the first installment of Escort for Hire! We had a very quick run, as most of the monsters were cleared for us by other adventurers. I think we literally did it in five minutes.

Want to know what next week will bring? Show up! I have yet to figure out if I have to take 6 at a time or if I can take 18 at a time, but we can find that out if more people show.

To all you people who said they'd show and didn't *shakes finger!!* ha ha just kidding.

Also please note that you need level 6 fame in Bastok to start this quest. I wasn't aware of that, but Mosh found out the hard way. ;\

No one came last Tuesday. And I just had someone ask me if *I* was an "Escort for Hire" today o.0 ... So on that note, here's the thread again, and see you tomorrow night if you want to come.

Sorry Lui, I was going to come last night but I got hit with a horrible cold and spent most of the day (and today) in bed. :( Hope people did show up and it went well though.
