Father Figure  

how do I make a silver ingot?

I was asked for a Mythril Ingot so I guess don't bye the ingot until you know what one it is.

I have hero fame in bastok, windy, sandy, jeuno and almost everywhere else except norg (very close though)
I have done almost every available quest in all cities to date
I've gone back and talked to almost every npc person in bastok
I am unable to flag this quest >< I don't understand it should be a no brainer
help /cry

THIS quest (Father Figure) Where she asks for a SILVER INGOT and gives 2200 gil, is NOT repeatable. It requires at least lvl 1 fame and completion of "The Elvaan Goldsmith".

The other quest from the same NPC "The Elvaan Goldsmith" IS repeatable. It requires no previous fame.

If you have never done either quest, you will get "The Elvaan Goldsmith". You may repeat that until you reach fame lvl 1. THEN you can speak to her for "Father Figure" ONCE. Trade silver ingot, get 2200....

After that quest is completed, you can only go back to doing the first, repeatable quest, "The Elvaan Goldsmith". In all cases, you must zone before/inbetween repeating the quests.

Hope that helps clarify. It's good to compare notes on quests on different forums/websites so you can get all the info.

my fame is level 1 in bastok and I got both quests in a row just by talking to her after giving her the copper ingot the first time.

Clearification on fame requirements

Starting at Fame lvl 1 you can get the quest "The Elvaan Goldsmith"... this quest is repeatable, you just have to zone between repeats. She will continue to ask for copper ingots each time.

Until...you get fame level 2, at this point she will give you the "Father Figure" quest. This is the quest that requires a silver ingot. It is NOT repeatable. After you have completed this quest she goes back to asking for copper ingots, silver ingots, and sometimes mythril ingots

Check my Bastok fame list if you like...

I think that her quests are related to the NPCs in the area. I got both of hers fairly early on and I think that one thing I did in between them was to talk to just about every NPC. Now, I'm not sure of the timing but try doing the "Galkan Sausage" quest and make a point of actually talking to her neighbor Gwill to get the instructions instead of just forking over the item to the metalworks NPC. After you complete that, go back and get a quest from Gwill where he asks you to get him some cinnamon. When you turn that in, you see a cut scene where Michea and he give their gifts to the "father figure" NPC. After doing that, I got the copper quest again.

This quest, "Father Figure" is the one where she asks for a Silver Ingot. "The Elvaan Goldsmith", also given by this NPC, is the one where she asks for a copper ingot. This quest was correct yesterday, but not it is wrong, you may want to fix it.

I just walked up with a copper and silver ingot, gave her once, talked to her then gave her the silver.... AH 1500, she gave me 2200... instant 700 woo... though I lost out on the copper :( 400 for 180 return or something like that.

I have done the Copper Quests 3 times, and about 7 other quests. Still can't get the Silver Ingot quest. Maybe it's my Fame, how do I check that?

Flipper

repeatable?

Payed 2k gil on AH for silver ingot, 200gil profit, not bad I guess for a small fame boost

It says that no fame is needed for this quest...
I checked with the guy in port bastok, and he knew my name...?
Obviously some fame is required.
