The Gobbiebag Part I  

i just did this on Lakshmi server traded 5 stacks of moss 1 at a time to the guy in selbina and BAM! goblin wants the items to increase my space... bad part is no peridots forsale so im now lvling to do a BCNM for a peridot.

P.S. im new so everything i have learned is from the internet and a used bookstore purchase of the strategy guide from 2004 and the FFXI atlas book (got both for around $10 total.

also a sidenote, as i read all the old posts and look forward to getting the rest of the gobbiebags... i noticed NONE besides myself playing on the Lakshmi server and then i thought to do a /sea all on my server and was wondering if all the servers have an average population of around 2300 players or is Lakshmi just a dieing server?

Alright easiest way to get hero fame in jueno and it will cost about 10k the cheap way. Selbina the man infront gives you the quest only the best he needs 5 heads of la thein cabbage or 3 million corns or 1 clump of moss(i can't remeber the name) go buy about 100 stacks of cabbage about 23gil a cabbage thats 1200 cabbage so thats 27600 or corn which is about 43 a head so thats 51600. i know i said about 10k above but you make back almost all the gil you spend by doing the quest and as you fame in bastok/sandy goes up the pirce goes down. This quest does both bastok and sandy fame. So repet till you get what ever fame you want. my fame in windy is lvl 3 and sandy is lvl 7 i havent checked bastok and im a hero in jueno. Now the moss on the other hand runs about 10-15k a stack and each one you trade him you make 600 gill so each stack dependin on how much you paid you lose anywhere from 3600-9000gil it takes a while but its the easist way http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?fquest=180 is the link to the quest page on allakhazam and remember to buy the cabbage or corn from a vendor in one of the citys AH price is way to much

Woooah. This is only for Chains of Promathia expansions? Cause I dont have CoP, and I talked to bluffnix, he said i couldnt do it yet. So i've been out raising my fame and buyin moss, so is all this just a waste of time cause i dont have CoP?

Know any mid-level clothcrafters? If nation is in first, flax flowers are only a couple of gil at the airport shop, I forget the precise recipe but as I recall, it takes 6 ff and 4 crystals to make a linen cloth.

Or a lowish level leathercrafter? Dhamel hide very easy to get, add a couple of hundred gil worth of materials to synth the hide into leather.

Steel ingot? A level 25 smith can desynth gob gear (forget which one) and end up with a steel ingot if you HQ.

Etc., etc. Does not have to be so expensive for the first couple of gobbie bags. By the time you get to V or VI, then you are starting to talk serious gil...

By the way, for those of you who are still coming up the ranks and fighting in the Dunes... Get the first time quest done with the sheepherder in Selbina (millicorn, cabbage and moss), and after that, just bring a stack of moss each time you come to the Dunes (fairly expensive now, but at least you get 600 gil back for each moss you trade, one by one by one) to the sheepherder. Moss is most effective, and raises Bastok, Sandy, Jeuno and Rabao fame fairly quickly. I did 14 stacks and 2 local Jeuno quests and was at max Jeuno fame. First time I went to Rabao on a map run, I was amazed to find that I could pick up every Rabao quest, including some that I would need another 30-35 levels to approach.

However you do it, the extra gobbiebag space is (imho) probably the single most important item you can get in the game. So do it as soon as you can.

wow....if you thought that was expensive you're going to LOVE the other gobbie-bags....

You are amazing lucky in Asura im lokking at over 40k to complete this quest
estimates:
dhamel leather = 5k
steel ingot = 7k
peridot = 22k
linen cloth = 8k

i never have much money and now i drawn between gettin the eisenschaller that ive been savin for or get extra space. (/cry) this is a harsh game!

The easiest thing to do is get fame in your hometown. I was doing quests in Sandy to get my fame up to 3 for the drain quest, and in turn my jeuno fame went up to 2. Fame in Jeuno is based on jeuno quests and also other nations fames too. I'd say try the bat wing quest in sandy, or yag necklaces in windy or something along those lines. The jeuno quests can be a lot more work than just farming yags for a little while, and then you get fame for the other towns too while you're at it.

Another good one is trading moss in selbine. It raises your fame in bastok and sady at the same time, along with your jeuno fame, and I think it even raises Rabao fame too, according to an LS member that has Hero fame in Rabao. If anyone can confirm this, post a reply.

Fame? I did as many quest possible in Jeuno first. (not much) then handed in 10 stacks of Cabbages to the person in Selbina next ot the sheep. After that, I was able to do this quest, RSE, and many more in Jeuno.
