Only The Best  

so how many boyahda moss stacks does it take 2 reach lvl 2 jueno fame?

im at rank 2 for bastok and need to know the best way to get to 4?
how many million corn or cabbage will i need

so far from what ive been reading, people are trading in alot of the moss, and ive figured out that you can max you fame in sandy bastok and jeuno with one run *if your turning in moss* and it would take alittle more than 25 stacks, but this is just an estimate. with 25 stacks of moss you hear the fame noise 300 times which would mean that if you had zero fame in sandy or bastok and hearing that noise 300 times indeed maxed your fame, it would take 75 stacks of millioncorn to equal the 300 turn-in's, roughly 3 trips if you dont have gobbiebags done. if you buy from the vendor for 50 gil a corn it'll cost you 45,000 gil to buy it all without the money you get back from him, but with the money you get back you'll only spend 9k gil! which is pretty amazing if this does indeed max your fame, now all i need is hardcore proof so if someone wants to try this, be my guest and please post your fame after the turn-in's but im going to be trying this sometime soon so if nobody try's it before i do, ill post the results i get. well that pretty much sums up most of what ppl have been posting about so now ya dont have to read this whole forum to figure out whatcha need XD enjoy

I got a yield of 23 Millicorn Ears from gardening. Planted a bag of grain seeds on a ceramic pot and fed a wind cristal on firesday. Hope this helps

Okay, i seem to be having a problem with this quest so i'd like to find out wether i've done something wrong. I've traded many of the mentioned items to Melyon, yet i've not noticed any increase in fame for Bastok/Sandy at all. Does this quest still work or does the fame increase only work when you're not doing any missions currently?

Okay, I finally got off my butt and got my Norg fame leveled. And I have all of the quests I'll bother with (except for the WS and AF quests)flagged. My question is, if they are flagged, and I do this quest (and my Norg fame is lowered from level 4), will I still be able to finish all of these flagged quests later on when I need the items. I really don't feel like actually doing all of them until I need them. =/

My guess is that I would be able to finish them and get my items, but I don't know. Would the quest unflagg(word?)? Or would the NPCs just act like the quest isn't even flagged? That'd be a bunch of BS....

This quest is really helpful. It's slow going with the millicorn, but overall it's getting the job done.

I'm just glad quests like this are around so newer players can try and catch up to friends that have been playing for a while.

I just handd in 29 stacks of millioncorn, which means i did it 116 times. Ive only ben able to check Sandy fame and its lvl 4 with no quests done. Going to hand in another 29 stacks. :P I love this quest.

Rice Balls is a completly inaccurate way to go about seeing you norg fame, i was told rice balls = 153 is max norg fame but when i went to norg and my rice balls were = 153 i had no norg fame, i did the Yagudo neclaces/Zinc or quests to get my rice balls down to 153. Luckily once you start questing Ninja scrolls in norg..i did tonko, then i did hojo and another kauramy both Ichi i got to about lvl 5 fame which opend up Utsutsemi, you need atleast lvl 5 fame for this quest. I dont believe in the rice ball theory, its doesnt work.

I would like to comment that when sandy was in control of the region that Valkrum was in i was able to buy 50 stacks of cabbage and only lose 500 gil after trades. Also 50 stacks capped my Jeuno which was at lvl 6 prior, and bnoosted Bastok and Sandy from lvl 5 to lvl 8.

Really sorry about multiple posts, Firewall blocked the first couple so when i tunred it off it posted all the failed attemps, Ill learn from my mistake this time.

Aragenou regional vender in Sandy is Antonian @ (J-8).
Fame guy in Sandy is Namonutice in South Sandy inside 'Lion's Spring' @(K-6).

Did this today. Traded 29 stacks of Millioncorn. 1 Millioncorn was 50gil, so 29 stacks was 17,400 gil. Got 120gil for every 3 corn traded. So you get 13,920 gil back, so your only spending 3,480gil.

Results: Had 0 fame in Sandy ("No, never head of that name"). After trading 29 stacks of corn I had level 4-5 fame ("I hear your name often, People speak well of you!"). I had enough to do Drain. My fiance also did this, but w/ 21 stacks of corn and was ~lv4 fame in Jeuno, enough to start gobbie bags.

how do i level up my windurst fame i got lvl 7 sandy, lvl 7 bastok so now i need 7 in windy to finish my Avatars... i heard windy is like a BITCH! to lvl up is there a npc i can trade sh*t to???

On Quetz, I paid 7k per stack of 12 moss.
Ran to Selbina, macro'd (THANK YOU Crakens for the macro!) about 7 stacks..
Start: Windy Fame 3
Bastok Fame: 1
Sandy Fame: 1
Jeuno Fame: 1

End:
Windy Fame: 3 (not affected)
I have yet to run to bastok/sandy because I dislike them.. but when I went to Jeuno, I was told "Literally everyone in Jeuno knows your name!" and I got Gobbie bags.. .. a lot of them.. >.< I wish I had known that the Brady guide *GOD I hate you) only listed the first few.. now I have 60 items on me XD so I <3 this quest.

i have come to believe that certain items will raise certain areas fame more so then others.. my bastok fame was 4. sandy 5.and im not sure what jeuno was.
After trading 90stacks of la theine cabbage to the NPC. I was a hero in sandy/jeuno, but bastok fame was only 5. Now by reading other peoples posts about this quest. it just didnt seem right.
So its unknown to me what else would raise bastok more then sandy but i know the cabbage will focus more towards sandy.
BTW you can buy La Theine Cabbage for 21gil from a NPC in south sandy.. leaving you with a 12gil loss per stack (not bad if i say so myself) but i think the NPC will only sell them if sandy has zulkeim control(not sure tho).
hope some of this helps >.<

sadly this quest LOWERS norg fame, before i started this quest i had the riceballs costing 160gil each and i couldnt do any gobbiebag quests.

i handed in 122 boyahda moss and i had enough fame for 3+ gobbieabags but the price of riceballs went up to 166gil again.

dont do this quest if you are trying to quest utsusemi ichi, i wasted hours getting norg fame up and now i have to start again, oh well

According to what's previously stated, you'd need only about 90 stacks of cabbage to max Bastok/San d'Oria fame. With out any gobbiebags done, it took me 3 runs, 2 with 29 and 1 with 2 (Gotta have me LS equipped.)

EDIT: The 3 run thing, I meant to say I already had 3 fame in San d'Oria/Bastok.

Here is the dilly. I started off with absoultely no quest done in sandy or bastok. Only advantage I had maybe was having rank5.

83 stacks of cabbage, 13 stacks of millioncorn and 6 stacks of moss gave me sufficent fame for the Titan and shiva fork quest. I'm assuming gurada too but I havent gotten to Rabao yet.

Hope it helps somone. Peace

is there a NPC where i can trade Items for high Fame in Windurst?

if its true from wat i heard.. 25 stacks of boyahda Moss will get u lvl 9 fame in Sandy, Bastok, and Jeuno. But if jeuno fame rises all town fame rise too,right? so Windrust must get involved with the quest..lol.

WARNING this quest lowers the Norg/Tenshodo fame.
I had 152 or was it 153 now it's back up too 158 after i traded in 13 stacks of moss.

Okay, let's clear up exactly how this works.

I want you to think of the fame-raising of this quest in this way.

This quest raises fame only in Selbina.

Bastokan and San d'Orian fame use Selbina fame as a base, so increasing Selbina Fame also increases Bastok/San d'Oria fame.

Rabao uses Bastokan fame as a base. So raising Selbina Fame raises Bastokan Fame raises Rabao Fame.

Jeuno uses a Windurst/Bastok/San d'Oria fame average as a base, so raising Selbina Fame raises Bastok AND San d'Oria fame, but not Windurst fame, so Jeuno fame will go up from this quest, but slower.

This quest DOES NOT AFFECT Norg/Tenshodo fame or Windurst fame, so you have to get those on your own.
