All

Only the Best

Highly Recommended: Only the Best is a repeatable Selbina quest that will simultaneously raise reputation for Bastok, San d'Oria and Jeuno. Because of this, it is the best quest to complete for Bastok and San d'Oria.

It requires La Theine Cabbage, Boyahda Moss or Millioncorn. Each item rewards a different amount and raises a certain amount of Reputation.

For a complete walkthrough, trade breakdown, and cost analysis, refer to the quest page.

Windurst

Mihgo's Amigo

Otherwise known as "Farming Yagudo Necklace for Norg fame." Harvest Yagudo Necklace by defeating Yagudo in Giddeus. Trade four at a time to Nanaa Mihgo for Norg reputation. You are not required to zone. 250-300 Yagudo Necklace will give you enough fame to start the quest(s).

Note Best to go as a combo such as BLM30/THF15+ or THF35/BLM17+ for Treasure Hunter and the ability to Warp back to Windurst.

This Quest and Shady Business are highly recommended.

Mandragora-Mad

Yoran-Oran seems to have a thing for mandies. He wants any and all Mandragora-related items. All items can be acquired from mandies all over the world. Cornette, Four-Leaf Mandragora Bud, Snobby Letter, Three-Leaf Mandragora Bud, and Yuhtunga Sulfur are the items that he wants. This quest is your best bet for improving your Windurst reputation. When Bastok is 2nd or 1st in the Conquest, you can purchase Cornettes from Harmodios in Bastok Markets (K-10, Harmodios's Music Shop) for 219–258 gil. You get 200 gil back for trading the Cornette, making it a minimal loss. You can trade them one after the other, as zoning is not required. It is suggested that you have a friend or a mule send you the Cornettes, as traveling between Windy and Bastok multiple times can be a pain. It takes 270-300 cornettes to max Windy reputation. With a friend, second character, or second account in Bastok you can go from level 1 reputation to level 9 in just under 2 hours.

• You can also buy Cornettes for 50 Sparks each from a Records of Eminence NPC.

This is not a complete list, and may not represent the minimum. The list was made with Fame checked roughly every 20 Cornettes so it may be possible for the amount to be less than what is listed.

• I received the final message at 245 turnins as a Bastokan citizen.
  • SE has decreased the number of cornettes to about 50-55

Bastok

Minesweeper

This requires that you turn in Zeruhn Soot obtained in Zeruhn Mines. Zeruhn Soot is difficult to get at times, even with Treasure Hunter. The biggest problem is that Zeruhn is not a very big zone, so there aren't many monsters around to drop it. The soot can also be purchased through the auction house, though it is rather pricey for such a low level item. This quest can be repeated without changing areas between.

• Since the new high level mobs have been added in Zeruhn Mines farming Zeruhn Soot by any job under 90 is no longer practical.

Shady Business

Same idea as Mihgo's Amigo, but you are harvesting Zinc Ore from Worms instead of Yagudo Necklace. You can also get lots of Zinc Ore while mining in certain areas, such as Oldton Movalpolos. Give them to Talib, four at a time.

Note There is a pre-quest where you have to give him one ore, then he will start taking four at a time.

This Quest and Mihgo's Amigo are highly recommended.

It takes 109 Zinc Ore (27 trades of 4 plus the 1 from the pre-quest) in order to go from 0 Norg fame to level 4 and be able to get the Trial by Water, Utsusemi: Ichi and Tonko: Ichi quests.

Edit: As of June 2016, trading 73 ore (6 stacks + 1 ore) gives the player rank 9 fame from rank 1.

And 11 more stacks will bring down Ghebi Damomohe's Rice Ball price from 160 to 144 gil.

NOTE: You can buy as many Zinc Ore's as you want from Teerth in Bastok Markets in the Goldsmithing guild. If you have max Bastok Fame, you can buy each Zinc Ore for 200 gil.

San D'oria

Fear of the Dark

Pretty simple. Give 2 bat wings to Secodiand - Northern San d'Oria (F-6). Bat Wings can be farmed in nearby King Ranperre's Tomb or even Ronfaure at night time. The only thing that may make you want to stray away from this quest is that bat wings sell really well at the auction house. Then again, it is because of this quest.

Thick Shells

This quest is good if you just came back from EXPing on Beetles. Trade Vounebariont - Port San d'Oria (I-10) five Beetle Shells.

Starting a Flame

This is like the A Flash in the Pan quest in Bastok. Four Flint Stones to Legata - Southern San d'Oria (K-6). There are no time or zoning restrictions, so just keep trading 4 at a time to build your reputation. Flint Stones are easily obtained from killing worms in Ronfaure.

The Merchant's Bidding

Yet another "bring me items for a reward" quest. This time it's three Rabbit Hides. Kill bunnies in Ronfaure. Then Trade them to Parvipon - Southern San d'Oria (E-8).

The Sweetest Things

Kill a bunch of bees for Honey, give them to Raimbroy- Southern San d'Oria (F-8) five at a time. Result... reputation.

The Competition

This is one of the easier ways to get reputation in San d'Oria. Start the quest by talking to one of the brothers, Joulet or Gallijaux, at the end of the pier in Port San d'Oria and agree to help them. Then just procure some Moat Carp however you please, they can be bought on the Auction House, or they can be fished up using a Halcyon Rod and Insect Paste. Note that this can be somewhat expensive, but if you trade the carp in one at a time, each time it counts as a quest. I got to level 10 reputation in a little under an hour. Note: You can set up a macro to trade single Moat Carp to the brother of choice: /item "Moat Carp" <t> then select the brother and spam.

• It requires 252 Moat Carps to go from Zero fame to Hero Fame. Trade Moat Carps one by one.

Tiger's Teeth

Trading 3 Black Tiger Fangs to Taumila in Southern San D'Oria at (E-9) can be a good way to increase fame and make money at the same time. Higher level (50+) characters can farm the tigers in Batallia Downs and Jugner Forest with ease and each set of 3 fangs will net you 2100 gil.

• Requires Sandy Fame 3 to utilize.*

Jeuno

Community Service

This is a repeatable quest, but can only be done by one person per server per Vana'diel day. It's a fun little distraction that includes walking up and down Lower Jeuno lighting lamps at night. It can be activated at 18:00.

1. Talk to Zauko - Lower Jeuno (I-6) between 18:00 and 1:00.
2. Zauko needs you to light all the lamps before 1:00.
3. There are 12 "Street Lamp" objects along the entire length of Lower Jeuno, on the seaward side of the street.
4. Click on each one to light it, then return to Zauko after you've lit all twelve.

If you do this quest several times, Zauko gives you a key item. Thereafter, every time you zone into Lower Jeuno between 18:00 and 01:00, if this quest is unclaimed for the day, you will get a system message, "Zauko is recruiting an adventurer to light the lamps."

Zauko will sometimes wait until as late as 18:10 Vana'diel time before opening the quest. If you talk to him exactly at 18:00, he might just give you a short speech and turn away. If this happens, just try him again.

In addition to boosting your reputation among NPCs, it can also get your name out to other players. If someone who has not yet done this quest talks to Zauko at night after the quest is completed, he tells them the name of the character who lit the lamps. This effect does nothing significant, but is similar to the title-changing NPCs who sing the name and title of their previous customers before offering their services to you.

The Goblin Tailor, Gobbiebag, Artifact Armor, Bard Flag Quest, and Beastmaster Flag Quest also give Jeuno reputation.
