I did the quest to return the chocobo to Jeuno from Windurst, and completed it in 15 minutes 48 seconds. All I received for my reward was a bunch of Gysahl Greens. :/
Can the reward of the Dragon Chronicles page only be received from between Bastok <-> San d'Oria? That's the only place I've heard the page being rewarded.
I did hear someone mention the trick with Maat, going in as a Lv.69, using the page when you're about to die and very close to leveling, getting back full HP/MP.
What I'd do is level to 70 and go to an area capped at a level lower such as a promy and die until the EXP is within 100 EXP to level. I've just completed Eco-Warrior and am going to save the page until I fight Maat to try this out. It's totally worth it to me and being a Tarutaru BLM...getting a full HP/MP recharge during the fight would go far beyond pwning...
i did my first eco war! i at first did not know what this was for. imagine my suprise when i did learn what it did! but when u repeat the quest weekly u get the gil and another page?
I just got one of these for doing a choco run quest from San d'Oria to Bastok (my ending time was 19 minutes, 21 seconds). A friend did it at the same time, finishing in 21:50, and only got gysahl greens, though, so perhaps quest rewards are better for lower times.
According to the Firefox clock plugin you have to make it from Sandy to Bastok in less than 20 minutes to recieve the Dragon Chronicles reward.

Just thought I'd note to this. The plugin is wrong by at least a few seconds. I got from Bastok to Sandy in 20min 5 seconds and still got the chronicles.. So maybe it goes up to 20 min 30 seconds? Not sure...
i also just got one for the choco quest... my time was 19:56 and the record was 18:56... never knew you could get this from this quest... i usually just got choco ticket or greens... nice to know... actually a really good reward for such an easy quest... gonna try to do it more often, cuz sometimes i just skip it... might have to get within one minute of the record to get it... dont know...
One escore quest i know of is the "All by Myself" Quest contracted in Bastok Markets...The NPC is in area (E-10). For the quest, there is a level 20 cap. Change to A WHM or RDM (something that can heal) and goto Dangruff Wadi. Upon entering Wadi, You will get a scene...Ken is his name and he is taking an exam in Wadi. Follow him and keep him healed...BUT MAKE SURE TO LET HIM SEE YOU...YOU WILL FAIL THE QUEST....You can reset the quest by exiting the area and re-entering. If what you said above is true, you get a page from the Dragon Chronicles. This is one of the ESCORT QUESTS.
NOTE: I have not completed this quest...so correct me if I am wrong. Also this quest's miniscene will keep olaying until you either complete the quest or cancel it (which i am not sure how to do)...For more info goto : THis is an awsome Site for all your FFXI needs.
"There's a nifty little something I read in the main forum that could help- Lvl to 69, but get under 500XP tnl. Then, do an Eco-Warrior run, and save the page from the Dragon Chronicles. Fight Maat as best you can, until you're getting low on HP/items. Then, hit the Dragon Chronicles, lvl, and POOF you're stronger and have full HP."
After i did the quest, i didn't use the dragon chronicle immediately (i wanted to use it when i leveled up my pld for more exp) I went to qufim and my party and myself were taking on clippers, we were doing well until we had a clipper cast mettalic body on himself at the beginning of the fight. I was out of MP, low on hp and I was getting desperate. I looked at my exp bar trying to figure out how much exp I would lose and I realized that I was about to level, so I told the backup tank to hold aggro for about 5 seconds so I could use a "Backup plan", the warrior provoked and I used the dragon chronicle crossing my fingers (I had 700 xp to level) and all of a sudden I was given 759 exp and I leveled up! Full HP and mp restore and I had plenty of aggro and I tanked the clipper for the rest of the fight. There's a practical use for this thing in battle as your "Backup plan"
I wish I could've taken some sort of a screenshot to prove this to you all... but I couldn't... ; ;
I used one of these recently after a run of the Sandy Eco-war and I recieved a flat 1000 XP. That is right- I recieved a nice round four digits of XP. So now you can hold your hopes exactly 1 XP higher than you did before. I used the scroll on my 22 SMN with 450 TNL and not only did I level- but I got my XP cushion for lvl 23 taken care of. Needless to say I was one satisfied customer.
Interesting(?) note- when I leveled using this item I did not see the standard lvl up graphic or hear the classic FF victory music. I was in South San'Doria when me I used it.
hey anyone tell me why it won't let me do this quest again?..i completed it got the page at it and everyhting but still when i talk to the guy in lion springs to get the quest he says "i see you have more important things to attend too" and asked a GM he said he couldn't tell me, man i feel like a n00b..lol please help!!
You have to wait 1 week before you can redo this quest. So since getting an alliance ready takes so much time, start recruiting people now, and by the time you'll have your alliance, you'll be able to do the quest again.
I did the quest with my Lv.30MNK, and used the item on my Lv.9 NIN and got 500 exp, the lowest you can get.. Is the exp given based on fame/level/day, can someone confirm please?
When I did Eco-warrior, We had a full alliance of 18. Well, we did have a lvl 45 and 50 PLD escort us to where the flies where. And defeat all the enemies in our way. We beat it. It seemed... easy actally.
And when I got the Dragon page, I was either gonna use it on my white mage sub or my Red Mage (Main) Then, I realized that the dragon page was for lvl 4 and up. (My White mage is only lvl 3 heh) So then I used it on my Red mage, got 957 EXP from it.
You don't get Dragon Cronicles from the Escort Quest. They're called something else. M-something Memoires (something like that) You can also do them once per conquest tally. Repeatable yes, but you don't get the gil for it the second time round.
There are multiple instances of this item, and you can't really tell which is which. All are rare/ex with same text, only difference is how you got it. 1) Eco-warrior (all 3): 500-999 exp 2) Escort quests (6 total?): 1000-1999 exp 3) Garrison (as many times as you want): 250-500 exp
I'm not 100% on the Garrison value one, but I've heard it's lower. Not yet earned one through it myself, so kind of heresay, but makes sense since they're much easier to get.
How and where do you get the escort quests? Are those the ones with the people at the entance's to garlaige Citadel and crawler's nest? those look really cool
