Quests: Friday Night Quests

Friday night was quest night for ClanBEB, with Bastok Eco-Warrior, the Gustaberg Tour, and the Kuftal Tour on the agenda. We gathered in Bastok, trying to get enough for the Eco-Warrior, and ended up merging with another LS Eco-Warrior group, so we had a full alliance of 18. From ClanBEB, we had Yobun as MNK, Ryrra as MNK, Charcole as WHM, Marilyn as WHM, Deventra as BLM, and Kiki as RDM. We also had Izan, Vynala, Sasukeosiris and Wendell as escorts.

The trip to the spawn point was uneventful, but as often happens with such a large group, the fight itself went badly, since over half the group was fighting the Pudding that was put to sleep, leaving less than half of us fighting the other one. I got too close and was one-shotted by Fluid Spread, Charcole used Benediction to help the others and got smacked dead, and Deventra also died. I think all three of us delevelled too. The Puddings were killed, we got our raises, ran back to the entrance to re-get the ointment, went back to get the key item to complete the quest, and headed on our way. The worst part of these is the hours it takes trying to get everyone organized. I got over 900 EXP from my Dragon Chronicle page, so my RDM has a nice buffer over 25 again (was 1 TNL after my death).

Then 6 of us switched to sub-level 5 jobs, and headed to the waterfall in North Gustaberg to do the Gustaberg Tour quest. Marilyn escorted us, and it was really quite painless. I believe it was Yobun, Wendell, Sasukeosiris, Charcole, Erock, and Kiki. Then we headed to Rabao for the Kuftal tour. Easiest 8K I ever made in the game. We had to have jobs level 40 or under. Yobun, Ryrra, Erock, Marylyn, Sasukeorsiris and Kiki made the trip. Drakel wanted to, but didn't have enough Rabao fame to do it. Kiki's a Hero in Rabao, which surprised me. I guess it's tied to Selbina. Anyway, we simply took a chocobo to Kuftal Tunnel, walked past the non-aggroing lizards, clicked on the question marks, watched a cutscene and either warped or snuck back to Rabao to talk to the quest giver again.
