Another Rice Ball post

Whoever said that the rice ball prices are unreliable is completely correct. After doing many yag necklace runs (didn't count, sorry), joining the Tenshodo, unlocking ninja, and starting (but not completing) the samurai flag quest, my rice ball price was at 158. I decided to head to Norg anyway. To my surprise, I activated all of the NIN scroll quests (Tonko, Utsusemi, Kurayami, Hojo, and Dokumori) except Jubaku from Shivivi. The rice balls may give you a hint about how much fame you have, but the bestway to see if you can get Utsusemi is to make a trip to Norg and talk to Laisrean directly.

DO NOT do the Yag quest if you are a +40 THF becuase that B**** NPC will give u THF AF1 instead of the yag quest, i found that out the hard way, Thank you kazham for letting us THFs in on the secret, I spent 1 hour farming these damn necklaces and then the NPC gives me stinking THF AF quest and sends me all over the f***ing nation to hand out envelopes.

Well, considering the stats on your AF Dagger, you should probably get it anyways :p. That one is totally soloable. It only took me about an hour to do, and that was mostly due to travel time.

From the ornamented door you would take the path to the left. Keep sneak up and go into the large room. Stay along the left wall. There will be another cave entrance.

Follow that path down into the next large room. Hug the left wall and there will be another cave entrance. Bypass that for now it leeds to a dead end doughnut shaped room.

After bypassing that room entrance stay along the left wall until you enter a small opening. It looks like a dead end. That is the silver door. Keep examining it until you get the msg that you see some small silver shavings.

Trade your silver beastcoin and the path will open up for you to go to the room for the Utsusemi quest.

Once you go through the silver door the path is pretty windy. You can keep track of your POS by typing in <pos> You want to follow the path until you reach H-8 there should be a ledge you can fall off of to the right. Just follow that path to the north until you reach a dead end wall. There will be an unmarked door you can click on. In that room is the ??? as well as a Sea Bonze so be careful.

Bring the key item back to Norg and the scroll is yours.

To get back just exit the room and go to the south. There will be another ledge ro drop off of. FAll and continue South until you are in a large room. In the W/SW corner there will be yet another ledge. Fall off it and you will be back in the donut room that is just to the north of where the silver door is. Exit that room and go to the right. The path to Norg should be easy.

You need to talk to the Mithra as you enter the front door. She should say something and you should have the option of "Show me your wears" this is where the rice balls.. I think you might also have to be a Tenshudo member.

Rice balls also have to be around 153gil for you to have enough fame.. I did just this got the price down to 152-153 and got all 6 quests

Quick question: Does this stack with Blink?

No. Casting this causes you to gain the effect of Blink.

*edit: I lied. Casting this causes you to gain the effect of Copy Image, not Blink, but it doesn't stack with Blink. Copy Image is a little different than Blink. The shadows Copy Image creates absorb all attacks except for a few AoEs, whereas Blink's shadows just give a high chance of absorbing the same attacks.

You need to join the Tenshodo in order to have any Tenshodo fame. here's what to do:
1. Speak to the Mithra at the Tenshodo. There will be 3 options but you only see 2. The 3rd is invisible. Select it.
2. Go buy a Tenshodo invite at the AH. They're fairly cheap (about 3k). You can also quest it if you want. Either way it's a return investment.
3. Trade the Tenshodo invite to the Mithra. You are now a member of the Tenshodo and you get another Tenshodo invite in return so you've lost nothing and gained a whole lot. ^^ Hope this helps.

they dont go to kazham at lvl 1 they either change jobs in kazham (but that would be pointless because you have to go to the grotto if i remember correctly so you cant choco then) or they change jobs at a nomad moogle in norg.
Wrong Idea
# Jan 26 2005 at 3:40 PM Rating: Excellent
OK, This might be a noobish (twitch) suggestion, but I think the spell description should say next 3 attacks. If (BIG IF) one didn't know how many shadows Utsusemi: Ichi made, this could look exactly like a Third Eye type of effect. Just trying to prevent confusion.
finally!!
# Jan 25 2005 at 8:50 PM Rating: Decent
I finally got this hairpuller of a quest done!! Mind you I got an afro...Kinda hard to do that.. 200 Yagudo beads still wasn't enough fame!!! So...I did one of the easy quests, I recommend the leggiings one easy.. then NPC is like hey its you! I died twice for this.. I got it on attempt three, with the help of one of my homies in real life(70+ pld), thank you.. Higher ups turn down help fast.. I mean fast... I highly recommend getting help doing this and 2 stacks of silent oil.. good luck.. and may your nation be with you..
finaly got it
# Jan 24 2005 at 9:55 AM Rating: Decent
Ok so i finaly got enouph fame to unlock the utsusemi quest in norg but I got my fame not by farming the 200 yag beads but by gathering 120 zinc ores and trading them to talib located in port bastock in warehouse 2 at the bottom of the steps. I farmed about 10 zinc ores before I got fed up and spent 60k on the rest of the ores i needed, I bought all the ores in about two cities.
When the AH ran out of zinc ores I shouted if anyone was selling them I would buy them directly off and to my surprise I got most of my ores that way which turned out well because some people sold them to me at 300 gil a piece while at AH they were 500-800 and some one knowing i needed them bumped the price up to 1k gil a piece but by that time I only needed one more so I didnt mind spending the 1k to get my last ore lol, My lvl 61 thf friend thought i was crazy since he thought it wouldnt work but i did it in the same amount of time it took him to get 200 beads and he had help carrying them while i soloed carrying most of my ores, anyway rice cakes are now 152 gils for me so I went to norg and did the quest which was very easy and also did tonko ichi as well in one shot, my opinion is the ores are worth it and in bastock its easy to finish this if you have three hours or so to kill. 60-70k for a 350k-400k scrolls is more than worth the time. My dream of rdm/nin is closer to being reality :)
rdm=60 nin=11 so I have work to do

...oh and incase you were wondering yes this is all I did to unlock utsusemi quest and nothing else, this was not as hard as people made it out to be so have fun getting your scrolls

Okay, for all the people set on using rice balls as your indicator, it does work...However, the AMOUNT of quests you do for Tenshodo/Norg I believe ends up having a greater effect on your fame than doing the repeatable ore/necklace quests. My rice balls were priced at 161 after having done all of the following:

*Ninja flag
*Samurai flag
*Samurai AF1 (Yes, it counts as a Norg quest)
*About 120 necklaces I farmed.
*Zinc ore quest...maybe 4 times.
*Rusty Bucket quest. (Not positive this is even Norg fame.)
*Ninja scrolls for Rusty Subligar/Leggings

I thought 161 seemed rather high to have done all that. But last night I completed my SAM Af2 quest, and just to check, I talked to the guy, and got Utsusemi quest. I haven't checked if my rice balls dropped significantly from completing this quest, but all I'm trying to say is, the rice balls aren't end-all-be-all determinate of whether or not you have enough fame. Individual quests are worth more than repeating the necklace or the ore quests, and I think my story is proof of that.

Anyway, right now I'm holding TWO scrolls...lol...(friend of mine quit the game with this quest active, so before he left I signed on and did it. Haha.)

*Edited because I left off something i had completed.

When it says "all attacks", it is a bit misleading. It means physical attacks only. In the same way that Blink creates shadows that melee will slowly disapate, Utsusemi: Ichi will absorb a certain number of melee attacks, then disappear. Hope this helps. If you want an all damage sheild, be a RDM or WHM (Stoneskin and Phalanx).

For all the ppl having problems activating norg quests, FYI: Norg fame is determined by an accumilation of all major cities fame, and the rice ball price is only for norg fame itself.
Therefore: if you have full windy fame or such, and turned in 500+ yagudo necklaces, you still might not have enough. BUT, if u have some fame in windy, some in sandy, some in bastok, and jueno, and did the yagudo necklace quest; you'll have no problem logging the nin scroll quests.
