what i did

Ok, I just finished this quest about 3minutes ago. Here is the info I know:

I traded 208 Yagudo Bead Necklaces to Nanaa - this part took a while, but I farmed about 180 of them myself, the rest I bought because it was just hurting my brain.

I then proceeded to go to Jueno to check the fame all excited and to my surprise, the Rice Balls were priced at 156. Not wanting to go to Norg and not being able to do the quest, I did some Zinc Ores.

I traded 21 Zinc Ores to Talib, first one to start quest and the others for the fame.

I then went back to Jueno and I had 153 price for em, so I was set. I went to Norg, hitched a ride with a 74thf since I didn't really know the way, and got the quest. I attemped to do it but I got aggro from one of the Sahayin's in there since I took of sneak and it noticed it I suppose. I died and got mad but came back and finished off the quest.

A few things to note, BRING SILVER BEASTMAN COINS. I can't stress this enough. Do not forget these. Also, do not cancel sneak around a Sahayin. Take your time and you will be rewarded.

300k on Asura.

Most people do this quest as lvl 1 with Silent Oils. So lvl 40 DRK should be fine. But don't do it as DRK since you will loose alot of XP on a death but won't loose a single XP on a lvl 1-3.

I noticed there is a guy in Norg that tells you your fame. He's just left of the guy that gives you this quest, near the ramp. Anyone know what the levels are compared to what he says? At first he told me the basic "didn't know who I was", completed SAM quest and then it changed. After that I noticed I could do most of the other scroll quests but not Utsusemi: Ichi. Completed all of those quests and still not high enough fame, but I have to be close. Guess it's time to turn in more Yag necklaces.
Zinc quest

Ok, so i read about a mission in Bastok where i can give zinc ores in for Norg fame. Which Quest?
RE: Zinc quest
# Oct 21 2004 at 3:29 PM Rating: Good
Shady Business is the bastok quest for fame.

Mihgo's Amigos is the windy yagudo necklaces quest.

A Job For The Consortium is the Sandy airship smugling quest. This requires an airship pass.

You need a high level of Norg fame to obtain this quest. You can easily check this fame by looking at the price of rice balls in Lower Jeuno. YOUR RICE BALLS NEED TO BE 155 OR BELOW TO OBTAIN THE QUEST. Some people may not be able to obtain the quest when it says 155 because the rice balls are actually 155.5. (The Zinc Ore quest reduces the price by .5 gil each time you complete it.) When it is 154, you're safe.

I started this quest when the price of riceballs in Jeuno was at 166 gil. Went to Bastok and handed in a total of 80 zinc ores to the Tenshodo hideout. When i returned to Jeuno the price of riceballs fell to 156. I proceeded to Norg and I was able to get the quest.

Price of Zinc Ores in Bastok on Garuda was 400g.

400x80=32000 gil

Price of Utsumsemi: Ichi on AH in Jeuno is 180k.

180k - 32k = 148k.

Nice profit for only 4 hours of work. The hardest part was finding all the zinc ore that I could buy. Might try to do this quest with my mule as well.

FYI: Every time you do the Zinc Ore quest it will drop the price of riceballs by 1/2 gil. Each quest consist of 4 Zinc ores.
how many

Every magic scroll of a spell you learn is a 1-time use. If everyone got another Utsusemi scroll after learning Utsusemi, the price at AH wouldn't exceed 100k.

i handed in about 200 yag necklaces to get my fame to where i need it. Since i was a blm, this was very easy for me. Took me 2-3 days to get that many yag necklaces. My ratio was like 1 necklaces every minute.

Now my riceballs are like 141 ^^. U need ur riceballs to be priced at 153. To check to see if u have enough fame, go to lower jeuno, and check neptures (something) and talk to the person behind the desk

I think having low rank helps, I have rank 2-2 and they cost me 155 and ive only done the zinc quest twice and 0 tenshudo missions other than that. So idk what all factors into the price of balls.
the norg fame i used
# Aug 31 2004 at 11:18 AM Rating: Default
my norg fame came out of boredom, i have done the following before utsusemi
turned in 120 yagudo necklaces, 12 zinc ores, smuggling quest 4 times (i got 3 in a row once ^^) then i did bot the rusty equipment quests
i then did tonko: ichi because i needed to be able to invis myself at tiems, whm being lvl 1 and all.
i did have both ninja and SAM unlocked
that got me Utsusemi and my tuning fork of water, now i just need to get ninja to 12 and smn to 20

Thats what people say, but during battles with IT/VT mobs (since thats all that really matters for parties) I get interupted the same amount now (capped skill) as I did about 20 lvls ago when it was far from capped. I do seemto notice on weaker mobs, liuke EP/DC/EM I get interupted less. But that is only useful if you are soloing. But there is no direct affect that Ive found between skill->utsusemi.

I was able to do the quest the other day with my Rice Ball price at 160 (last I checked, and I didn't do any before then).

On a side note, is it true that there are quests that lower your Norg Fame? I've heard rumours, but I'm hoping they're not true.

EDIT: I didn't do any quests from the time I checked price to the time I did quest.

I have heard the same, that the Boyhada moss quest in Selbina lowers your Norg fame but to no avail it hasn't been confirmed yet

i'm not sure if it lowers your FAME actually, but it does raise the prices of the items in the Tenshodo, but not the prices of Rice Balls. I had Rice Balls at 152 when i got Utsusemi, and then did the Selbina quest to raise fame in sandy/bastok/jeuno. Rice Ball price stayed the same, but items actually sold at the Tenshodo i.e. Katanas, Armor, Ninjitsu scrolls, raised in price. Only way to be sure if your fame lowered would be to try to accept the quests in Norg, unless of course there is a NPC that tells you your fame, of which i am unsure

Hope this helps!!!

yagudo necklaces are given to Nanaa Mihog in Windurst Woods. she is in the North West corner by the "houses" there. Zinc Ore is given to an NPC in the basement of the Warehouse #2 in bastok Port. I forget his name at the moment but he is located right next to the base of the stairs.

people in my ls told me that i need 200 zincs. so i mined 18 RL hours, within 2 days and got 176/200. my riceballs are like 144 gil. hopefully this only means that i can unlock other scroll quests from the extra level of fame. ^^

question to all if i have done the zinc ore quest 27 times now is that enough to do the first two ninja quests?? or do i have to go to 30+??? i have not checked my rice balls yet i am going to do so tonight... what is the lowest your rice balls have to be to do all ninja scroll quests??? also i don't know much about fame sooooo does fame wear off after a while if you don't do any quests and stuff? or is a perminate thing that if you reach hero it never goes away????

also to support my zinc fund came up with an idea that i used to earn up about 17 of the quests..... i charged a ZINC ore or 500 gil for a tele and 2 zinc ore or 1000 gil for altepa and yoaht teles... got a lot of people to come to me over others because added price of zincs where less than an actually tele at the time by 200 gil.... teles where just going to slow till i got that idea ^_^
