Only The Best  

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.

do you have to zone every time or can you just stand there trading it in?

I just did ~90 sets of cabbage (i.e. 5 cabbage each), and my fame in San d'Oria was still at 3 ("Ah, <name>. That is a name I often hear..."). When I went to Jeuno, I had fame 7 ("Why, hello, <name>. I say, literally everyone in Jeuno..."). My fame in Windurst is 6 and Bastok is 4. I had previously done 20-25 separate quests in San d'Oria before all the Selbina runs.

Has anyone else noticed very little or no fame increase in San d'Oria for turning in cabbages?

I turned is 24 stacks of Boyahda Moss. As a result, I was a hero in San'd Oria, Selbina and Bastok, I have not yet been anywhere else however, so I am not sure what I rank there.

are u sure that this raises ur fame in windy,bastok, and Sandoria???? Because if thats the fact den Im doin it I mean im gonna spend 15k and get bak like 13.5 big deal..... so let me know if its a true fact :)

Ok from what i understand this quest builds Fame in Jeuno, Sandoria, and Bastok. I started with lvl 3 fame in Sandy and Jeuno, and lvl 2 fame in windy. I went traded 20 stacks of millioncorn to dude in selbina (at 4 trades be stack thats 80 repeats) and went back to jeuno to find i had lvl 5 fame. My question is, if anyone knows, is assuming that my windy fame remains low, (since this quest doesnt affect fame there) what is the maximum fame in jeuno/bastock/sandy that you can get doing this quest, and whats an estimate in stacks of million corn, moss or cabbages would i need to acheive the best possible famelevel with this quest?

I've heard that its possible to acheive rank 9 in Jueno using this quest, but i was hoping someone might give a more definate answer then what ive read so far.

I'm pretty sure that this quest actually raises your fame in all four cities.

I left Windy as fame 2, and did several full runs of cabbages. I got to level 7 fame in Jeuno, and 5 in Sandy. I did a few more and was 7 in Sandy, 6 in Bastok. I haven't done any since then and just checked Windy and Jeuno. I'm 9 in Jeuno and 6 in Windy, and I haven't been back to Windy since I started the whole thing.

So I think it raises your Jeuno fame, which in turn raises all three other cities a little less. It seems like one full load (well, 28 stacks) of cabbage raised it about one level each in Windy, Sandy, and Bastok.

I gave him 3 stacks of cabbages, then dde to talk to Ramona. She begins to talk about her daughter, Mathilde. She is married and adopted, Melyon found her on a trade route. Is this another quest? I didn't see anything about in the Other quests. Can someone guide where to uncover the hidden truth?

All I can say is this is the quest to Raise fame in Sandy, Bastok and Jeuno.

In my case, I traded millioncorns. YES, the position of San d'Oria in the Conquest Rank does determine whether or not they are sold at Rainbroy's Grocery in south Sandy. So the best thing you do is waiting for Sandy be in 1st or 2nd place.

Ok, why millioncorns? Because they are much less inventory-consuming. Cabbages are traded in groups of 5, millioncorns in sets of 3. So 1 stack = 4 repetitions of this quest (of course moss is even better, but you will need a lot of money).

Some frequently asked questions:

Q: How many times should I do this quest?
A: Do it 200 times trading millioncorns. That means 50 stacks. It will be enough for any fame level you may be in need of.

Q: Which places are affected by Selbina fame?
A: Sand'Oria, Bastok and Jeuno. If you do the quest 200 times your Jeuno Fame will also get to its maximum level; I tested it myself and I guarantee. This theory that Jeuno fame is the minimum of the 3 main cities is totally wrong, because I got Fame 9 in Jeuno even though my fame in Windy was 0 (zero).

Q: Do I need a lot of money to do this quest?
A: You will need around 15k to repeat the millioncorn thing 200 times. If you grow millioncorns in your mog house, even better.

Good luck ^^

I have given the NPC well over 2 dozen moss's and my Jeuno fame is still at level 3. I'm from Windy and on the Titan Server that are in last place. Does that have any effect on whether or not I can get Jeuno fame?

According to GonadSandStrife's stats of 25 stacks of Boyahda Moss = lvl 9 fame this should be the approximate cost (all prices Caitsith AH).

Stacks of Boyahda Moss go for around 8000 gil each. 8000 x 25 = 200,000 gil. Now that may seem steep, but look at it this way. 25 stacks = 300 Boyahda Mosses. 600 gil return on each, so 180,000 total return. 20,000 net gil for lvl 9 fame in Selbina, Bastok and San D'Oria. On top of that lvl 9 fame in Jeuno because its fame is affected by Bastok and San D'Oria. Now that's a bargain. Do this quest and this one only for fame in those 4 places.

hey whats the best way to raise windy fame?

The Gobbues in the Pashow Marshlands are a decent Chall for my 23Monk/11Thief so at 25 they shold be easys.. it was a tough fight though they hit really hard unless you have some g'd up armour...
