Bastok fame and teleport-DemFollow

It took me about 35 unique quests plus around 20 bubbling bernies for the teleport dem quest. So keep trying is all i have to say.

I was in the same boat as Tati. After doing a few Selbina runs with La Theine Cabbages I had enough fame in both Bastok and Sandoria to do the Dem and Holla quests. But my fame in Windy is level 1. I just went out and bought the Mea scroll cause I didn't want to be bothered with it, but eventually I want to raise my Windy fame, are there any tricks?

There are two ways that I used to raise my fame for Bastok from that which is required for the Warp Scroll, and lvl 4 fame (that which is required for the Teleport Quest):

Selbina La Theine Cabbage quest: Take your naked character and buy 25 Stacks (yes, 25 stacks) of LaTheine Cabbages from Raimbroy's grocery and use the Teleportation service (assuming Sandy controls Zulkheim) to get to the Outpost in the dunes, and walk to Selbina. Hand him (the old dude standing next to the Sheep pen) 5 cabbages at a time. Warp back to Sandy. Do this once more (i.e. with another inventory of 25 stacks) and he will give you enough gil so that in 50 stacks handed in, your loss will be ~1200 gil.

Bubbly Bernie quest: This is the money maker that will make up for (and surpass) any loss you incurred doing the Selbina quest. Buy a stack of Quus (~1000gil), and go to the back of the Lighthouse in Gustaberg. Take a choco, it's worth it. Trade one Quus to the ??? and Bubbly Bernie will instantly appear around you in close proximity. Kill him, and Warp back with the Clock that he drops (set your HP to the Bastok Mines moghouse exit), and send it to yourself via the in game 'delivery' system. Do this 8 more times (8 deliveries to yourself, and one to keep in your inventory for a total of 9 clocks). Once this part is done, hand one clock at a time in to the old lady in the house near the Bastok Mines Magic shop (use Allakazham's quest list to find out exaclty who she is). Talk to her and hand her the clock and she gives you 500 gil. Warp back to your Moghouse, enter it, check delivery box, TAKE ONE CLOCK ONLY!!, and go back to her and do it all again. Nine Quus will gross you 4500gil (minus 1000 gil for the Stack of Quus, and 100gil for each of the 9 choco's) and give you a net of ~2000gil.

I know these take time, but it is much shorter than doing individual quests, and works fine.

Good Luck!

If you have a low level job and you would like level outside Windurst then there are repeatable quests from some of their drops. But then again this isn't as quick as porting cabbage.

150 gil for 3 Beehive Chips
200 gil for 2 Remi Shells
600 gil for 3 silk threads (Recommend selling these at AH)
600 gil for 3 crawler calculi
200 gil for 1 Cornette
120 gil for 1 Four-leaf mandragora bud
250 gil for 1 Yuhtunga Suplhur
250 gil for 1 Two-Leaf Mandragora Bud and 1 Bird's Feather.

If the repeatables drain you a bit you can do some of the ****** quests for comedy relief.

DanicusX - that was perfect. i did do the lathiene cabbage one, i probably ended up with around 40 stacks brought down to him. but now i will go do the bubbly bernie quest, figure that ones worth a shot.

as for whoever asked about windurst, i did the bastore sardines quest. i almost shot my self because of how repetative it was, but the payoff was worth it. if you have no fame in windy, you can buy one sardine for 45 gil. you trade it in for 70 gil. net PROFIT of 25 gil per time done the quest. while that isn't alot, it sure beats losing alot of money. i ended up doing the quest around 70-80 times, i also did the crawler calculi around 9 times. it ended up being really boring, but it only took three hours, which isn't bad for high fame in a town.

if you can buy the calculi for under 200g a piece, you will also be making money, at 200 gil each calculi, you will break even.

Or, if you are lazy like me... ;) You can work with a buddy (or two).

Have one person stand at zone into Bastok, and lot for the clock after the other kills Bernie. Then they run into Bastok and put the clock in storage, message the other person to start fighting, zone, lot... rinse, lather and repeat!

When the AH/Delivery is full, just switch positions.

Using this method, we were able to do over 4 stacks of Quus in about two hours (including time it took to turn them in). We walked away with our fame, and a nice bit of Gil.

With three people involved, the third could be turning in their clocks and running back to relieve the person with the full inventory.

... you could keep going indefinately! ^^;

Just too much fun! :D

In Windhurst, the NPC that gives the Sardine repeatable quest is Tokaka. He's a Taru on the docks by the Fisherman's guild. Note my other suggestions above on how to make this go buy as quick and painless as possible.

The way I got Fame in Bastok for the Warp Scroll was using the "Mom the adventurer" quest.

Except don't Synth the Copper Rings, buy them from the Goldsmithing guild right by the Mom. Buy 12 of them, and that should do it. If after 12 you don't have enough fame, buy 3 Copper Rings at a time until you get the quest. You also end up getting a stack+ of fire crystals doing it this way which you can sell and gain back gil. It's boring and tedious, but then it's no worse than trying to do other unique or repeatables.

Do the Gusgen Mines Map quest as well while you're in Bastok, you'll need it later.

/em is going to slit his own throat if he has to do one more friggin' quest.

Windurst is my home nation. I farmed cornetts and Yuhtunga sulfur and made quite a profit. Lot on that three leaf in kazham as well. It's 1200 in the mandragora mad quest. You can only hold one of each three, four leaf or yuhtunga sulfur, but you can hold infinite amounts of cornettes.

Sandoria took a little while. Bat wings from Ronpaurre's tomb. With a lvl 15 thief sub you make quite a profit from 100 gil a wing.

Bastok, I'm still working on dem as well lol.
