Adventurer Appreciation Campaign

Master, Master! The Adventurer Appreciation Campaign is here again, kupo! Woohoo! Yay! We love you! Phew, I need to get more exercise, kupo! Anyway, let's review the history, kupo. It's thanks to adventurers like you that the people of Vana'diel have been able to live and prosper in peace. The Adventurer Appreciation Campaign was begun by a certain personage to show our gratitude for this valuable contribution to society. Are you with me so far, kupo? Now we come to the fun part. In addition to seeing a record of your adventures put together by the all-seeing moogles, you will receive a special present, kupo. Can't wait to see your data, kupo? Not so fast! First you have to survive the Trial of the Dragon Moogle, kupo! Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little. Our campaign benefactor does, however, prefer to reward those adventurers who have shown themselves to be trusted, selfless heroes, kupo. Even veteran adventurers may squirm at the opponents they must face to complete this trial. The Far Eastern martial goddess. The uncompromising knight of the Lion Kingdom. And last and most terrifying: the heartless Witch of Abyssal Curses. What? You think I'm exaggerating again, kupo? .Anyway, you can find out more by speaking to the moogles around town. Your trial will take you around the world, so be prepared to take in all that appreciation, kupo! Thank you for your efforts, master! And thank you to all adventurers, kupo! Event Participation This event takes place in the nations of San d'Oria, Bastok, and Windurst. Listen carefully to the moogles' instructions, then join forces with other adventurers before setting out on your "trial." Moogle Locations Southern San d'Oria Northern San d'Oria Bastok Mines Bastok Markets Windurst Waters Windurst Woods This event is scheduled to begin at 17:00 on May 12 and end at 0:00 on May 30 (PDT).

Attempt 7
---------

Following the successful attempts of other people here, I decided to try the "party with two random people from each nation" tactic.

This was hard! My connection is bad enough that I disconnect every 3 minutes or so, so getting people to join in places like the Metalworks wasn't easy at all!

In the end I began to offer 1k to people to join my party for thirty seconds. This had the twofold effect of getting it over with before I dropped, and getting people of generally much lower levels than me.

The parties I were in was thus:

Me
WHM 40 / BLM 19 , Bastokan Hume (No other jobs levelled)

In Bastok
THF 07 / --- -- , Bastokan Mithra
WAR 15 / --- -- , San d'Orian Elvaan

In Windurst
BLM 40 / WHM 24 , San d'Orian TaruTaru (MANY jobs 20+)
WAR 22 / MNK 10 , Bastokan Galka

In San d'Oria
WHM 47 / BLM 23 , Windurstian Mithra
ALL 01 / --- -- , San d'Orian Hume

I got my Homing Ring ^^

I think one of the reasons this technique works in this event is because you're the only one speaking to the NPCs. The game probably feels it needs to award a ring to someone, and since you're the only one eligible to receive it you get it.

It's a pity SE gave us too little time and too few clues on how this event worked. It would have been nice to figure it out so more people could get the goods.

That said, if anyone wants to take a shot at it - there's still just under 30 hours left. If you hurry now you can get the event done twice before it ends, and following the "party with 2 random people at each NPC" method seems to be the best tactic for getting a ring that we have been able to work out.

got Return ring on 2nd try

Miraglyth, I've only done the quest twice, and only got the Return Ring. Just sharing how I get my Ring so that maybe we'll both get the Homing ring before the end of the event.

1st Try:
I built a 8 people PT/alliance at Jeuno, 2 Bastokan, 1 Windurstian & rest are all Sandorian. (I shouted in Jeuno and took whoever willing to try their luck... and end up with so many Sandorians...Including myself)

Anyway, got everyone to go around the 3 countries and at the end 2 people out of the 8 got rings.

Because of having to recruit people, treking the whole lot of people across the three countries, and waiting for them to be in the same area before everyone talks to the NPC, the whole thing took around 4 hours.

2nd Try:
I started thinking after the failure first time. It doesn't make sense for an events to take so long and be so logistically difficult as in having the same 6 people or more PT to trek all across Vena'diel... And the fact that the NPCs stress on variety of the PT... Which probably means the NPCs don't want to see the same people on all 3 visits.

So this time I just travel alone, and put together PTs with 2 more people (1 from each Nation so that we'd still have all 3 nations in our PT) there and then to talk to the NPCs. Afterwards, I would disband and go to the next country and put together another PT.

I talked with all 3 NPCs and in particular, I remember the Sandorian NPC (my 2nd stop) told me something like: "I see you have found strength in variety". I disbanded before talking to the moogle to complete the quest and I got the Return ring.

Without having to trek a full PT around, I think this run took only 1.5 hrs. And also I only occupy minutes from the people that help me rather than asking them to stay in the PT for the next 4 hours. I think this make much more sense as an event.

Theory of how to get the ring:
I think each of the 3 times you talk to the NPC, the members of your PT gets recorded. (You can think of it as a snapshot of your PT taken by the NPC ^^.) When you complete the quest, the moogle looks through the 3 snapshots for members that appear in more than 1 of the snapshots and if you are the only one that appeared in more than one of the snapshots, then you'll get the ring. Otherewise if there are others who's in your PT for all 3 shots, the moogle will think you guys have completed the quest without really "Partying with someone you usually wouldn't", and the Rings/Chocobo tickets will be randomly distributed amoung these people. Meaning you may need to be lucky to get the ring...

So if that's right, it's not a good idea to do more than 1 leg of the journey with the same lot of friends.

Hope this helps!

Yay! got my Homing ring on 3rd try!

Again, I make 3-people PT (one from each nation) on the spot before I talk to the NPCs, and I complete the quest by talking to the moogle alone.

On a side note, this time took more then 2 hrs because in Sandy, there're no english speaking Windurstians, and in Windurst, all the Bastokans are there for Dynamis and they're all too busy to help. >< I ended up having to use Japanese translation like these:

|Help me out!| |Event|
|Party|? 5 minutes. m(_ _)m


lol

P.S. I don't think the Level of the people you pted with mattered. I mostly PTed with Rank 8-10 people who has higher level then me, because they would have a better chance to understand what I'm trying to do. I think the point of this event, as with most other, is purely down to encouraging people to make parties with total strangers to do things.

Thanks for the info.

Evidence is starting to suggest that your party for each of the NPCs is compared in addition to being compared to you.

Notably your first attempt yielded the apparent limit of 1 ring per 3 players. I have no idea why SE would impose such a limit, because it puts a lot of the event down to luck.

It could just be that you're more likely to get a ring if nobody in your party is like you. For example if the party had levels 7, 34, 38 and 60, the levels 7 and 60 people would be most likely to get rings because they stand out the most.

(Note: I'm fairly convinced level only matters because it is reflective of how much someone has played - higher level people will have talked, killed, partied and died more, and I believe this is what the event takes into account.)

I'm attempting a party-with-two-different-people run at the moment. It's pretty hard since nobody is really interested, so I've resorted to paying people, hehe. I'll post the details of this run when I'm done.

• Attempt 1: 4 people. One Return Ring.
• Attempt 2: 4/5 people. One Return Ring. (Me).
• Attempt 3: 6 people. Two Homing Rings.
• Attempt 4: Bastok Hume, Windy Mithra, Sandy Elvaan. Nothing.
• Attempt 5: Bastok Hume, Windy Mithra x2. One Return Ring.
• Attempt 6: Same as Attempt 5. Nothing.

I swear if they really appreciated us they should give the deserving players the rings they don't have by attempt number 5.

I'm going to have done this event 8 times (as planned) by the time the event ends, and I won't have them both, whereas countless random TimmyTehRetard players will have done it twice with their LS and gained both.

This event is NOT fair, and this makes me question why SE even made it.
Homing Ring

I posted a thread (see below) one week ago when I got my return Ring.

Well, yesterday, I got the Homing Ring !!!
Here is how :

- I activated my quest in my home nation, Windy, by talking to Gate moogle.
- Some days ago (yesterday ^^), I travelled to Basty/Sandy/Windy again to talk to NPCs.
- Each time, I formed a party with RANDOM players in the area, each time we were a 3 PEOPLE-PARTY.
- I found out that each time my party mates were from diff.nations than mine and than current one I was located in, and they were also diff. LEVELS (ex : in Windy, I was lvl 26 with a noob lvl 1 & a lvl.60) - I definitely think it has something to do with "diverse" party requirement.
- I finished by talking back to my Windy moogle (ALONE) and got it !!!

So from my experience on this event (I got the return+the homing rings currently !!), I can confirm these points :
- YES, I talked to moogle in-between twice, so it doesn't affect anything.
- the order you visit NPCs doesn't affect anything (for my return ring I made Sandy/Basty/Windy)
- the messages NPCs tell you DOESN'T AFFECT your reward, definitely (as I got exactly the same STATEMENTS as every time I did it before + the players I partied with DIDN'T do the event and didn't talk to NPCs)
- I don't know much about "in X people party you got X chances x X that One get a ring, X others choco and so on", as I REPORTED TO MOOGLE ALONE (so I had no current party / it would mean, you can possibly get this rings "alone" - even if you talk to NPCs in party).

So I'm done with it (eventually ^^), I wish you all good luck on this (few days left there are !). I must precise that I did it several times : first time, choco ticket, second time return ring, 3rd & 4rth time choc again, and 5th try homing ring, so hang on !!!

1st try ^^

I got the homing ring on the 1st try ^^: I started the quest in San d'Oria a few minutes after it was launched, i talked to a moogle then talked to the NPC in the tower ALONE (yes you read well 'alone', in solo). Then a few days after, I went to Windurst and built a party: 2 elvaans, 1 hume, 2 tarus & 1 mithra with varied jobs. Then again a few days after, I built a party in Bastok with a galka, a taru, 2 elvaans and 2 humes. Done, I had talked to the NPC in each town. Finally I talked again to one of the moogles (in Bastok) and got the ring.
I think you must not talk again to a moogle before you talk to the 3 NPCs.

Oh and by the way here are my stats (27-06-05):
-Chat frequency: 58213
-Conversations with NPCs: 13245
-Parties joined: 304
-Alliances joined: 4 ^^(i know)
-Battles fought: 15930
-Number of time KO'd: 126
-Enemies defeated:: 12475
-GM calls: 0

Attempt 4:

• Bastokan Hume Male (Owns a Return Ring)
• San d'Orian Elvaan Male (Owns a Return Ring)
• Windurstian Mithra

Everyone got 1 Chocobo Ticket.

I'm guessing the game either awarded a Return Ring to one of the people who already had one, or me being partied with one of the other members in a previous attempt somehow screwed it all up.

I did this event two days ago, knowing little about it. There were 6 of us total; 2 Bastokians, 1 Windurstian, 3 Sandorians. 4 of us were lvl 30, one lvl 50, and one lvl 15.

What made this something of a hassle to do was that the poor lvl 15 only had two tele crystals (Holla and Dem, no Mea) and no ability to ride the chocobo yet. While I had originally hoped that the Moogle or some other NPC might provide us with a free tele to the general area of where we needed to go, I fond out that wasn't to be. So while the others tele and chocoboed to the cites, I escorted the lvl 15 via foot to the cities. We started in Sandy, then teleed to Dem. The lvl 15 and I walked to Bastok, then we teled to Holla and then began the Long Walk...to Selbina, then Ferry ride to Mhura(sp), then to Mea (for her tele crystal), then continuing the walk all the way to Windy. She had a blast making the journey, being her first time abroad, but she felt kinda bad that she was slowing the others down.

The next event SE does, I hope they make it a bit easier for low lvls to travel. This event took far too long to do for the prizes awarded out (in our case, one Homing Ring and two chocobo tickets for everyone else).
Vague Event Conditions
# May 23 2005 at 7:49 AM Rating: Decent
I honestly think that the messages the NPCs give are completely BS and have no end result on what you recieve. If SE seriously wanted this to be a fun event they should have given us more details about how to do this properly. The moogles when you first talk to them tell you to partner up with distant friends, meanwhile the NPCs tell you to find a more diverse party, even if no one else in your group is the same nationality as you.

I did this event 5 times before I got a ring and I really don't think there was anything in particular that I did in the 5th party to distinguish it from the previous 4. My 5th group was just 3 people, me (elvaan san d'orian), a bastokan hume, and a windurstian mithra. I got d/ced as we were travelling to the last npc and so the other two completed without me and recieved chocobo tickets. When I logged back, I finished alone and the moogle gave me the Homing Ring. All the NPCs told me to find a more diverse group, so obviously that has nothing to do with what rewards you get.

Has anyone ever *not* gotten the diverse group message?

As far as I can tell, the only true given is that in a party of 6, only 2 people will recieve the rings. Of course this can be broken down into for every 3 people, only one will recieve a ring. This is the only constant in this event as far as I can tell.

Nalyr, you're a genious.

I can confirm this:

• Attempt 1: 4 people. One Return Ring.
• Attempt 2: 4/5 people. One Return Ring.
• Attempt 3: 6 people. Two Homing Rings.

Nalyr's had 3 people = One Homing Ring, so we also know that 6 people isn't a necessity for people to get Homing Rings.

So now we can predict the possible results:

• 1 Person: Will get x Chocobo Tickets.
• 2 People: Will both get x Chocobo Tickets.
• 3 People: One will get a Ring, Two will get x Chocobo Tickets.
• 4 People: One will get a Ring, Three will get x Chocobo Tickets.
• 5 People: One will get a Ring, Four will get x Chocobo Tickets.
• 6 People: Two will get a Ring, Four will get x Chocobo Tickets.

We don't know what x is, and we aren't sure that 4 or 5 people will always yield one Ring (may be two sometimes).

Excellent. This means a static party of 3 people would get about one ring each if they did this three days in a row (assuming the game doesn't give a ring to people who already have that ring), and one of both rings each if they did it 6 days in a row (same assumption).

Well I have the right to feel cheated. I started up one of these and put the most effort into it. Overall it took 6 hours to make a party, get it to the NPCs, and bring the party back up to 6 because there were dropouts before each NPC.

The result? The two people who stayed with me throughout got their Homing Rings.

I got two Chocobo Tickets.

If this event ends without me getting my Homing Ring now, I don't know what I'll do.

I wish there were more than 3 people in Phoenix who ever wanted to do this quest.

Even with 11 days to go, I'll likely never see a Homing Ring, because nobody is interested with this event in the least.
Random Reward...?
# May 18 2005 at 11:33 AM Rating: Decent

78 posts
So the true question about this quest is : Is the reward random or NOT ?

=> I just got the return ring, with different people parties through Sandy (3 people)/Windy (3 people) /Basty (6 people).

For my concern, I think this reward is totally random.
Anyway, there are some things that seems false in any case :
- NPC stats : nothing to do with them, as the stats they gave me were very poor
- NPC order : idem, I got the ring with the order I told, but people may experience it in a different one
- MOOGLE : idem, I started out in sandy (I'm from Windy) and spoke to moogle twice in between, so moogle doesn't interfere (he just activates event anywhere you are in the same way)

Now, coming to the tricky subject of party :
* PERMANENT party : I thought that having the same people was better but definitely not, you can change party for each NPC
=> "DIFFERENT party" : here's the whole trick / yeah, moogle claims a different party to be set up, but we don't know what "different" is. It could be linked with any of :
- races / jobs / home nation / Level / gender.../ (or maybe hidden stats...)

In any case, I tried to invite random people to join me, from different race/jobs/level ..and it worked out.

I can't say more, but the fact is that this event "cheers" people to party with people for a "non-experience" purpose (maybe then the "level difference" is important within party set up).

Good luck to all !!

Just a quick comment to those of you who think choco tickets are lame.

Geez...they rock.

Think about it. You're in Jueno and need to get to Bastok or Windy. The chocos in Lower and Port Jueno tend to be very expensive. Last week the going rate at 3am EST was 2500. This is when the tickets come in handy.

Or when you're at a crag and want a choco. If it's Mea or Holla..you know those buggers are pricey. I don't know about other servers, but Dem is cheapest on Titan, for the most part.

So yea....give love to the choco tickets. :D

This is more or less a reply to a "lame event by SE" quote "i'd like to see you come up with a better event" although I might not be the poster I have been thinking of an idea for an event since around Christmas (pretty pathetic huh?)
It's the perfect time for it now cause it goes along with "Spring Cleaning"
Make a series of lvl 1 weapons in the fashion of the goofy weapons that FF7 had (ie mop, nail bat etc) and go around Vanadiel cleaning things up, no lvl restriction just lvl 1 weapons and like the wooden katana event trade that weapon in to the moogle for a better spring cleaning weapon and at a certain point start giving furniture as prizes or something else.
Any additional ideas anyone has or even criticism
just reply box to this I want to see what I can do to submit it to SE for maybe next year or something

I can picture my Elvaan running around with a Mop or a Parasol cant you? or my Taru mule with a Baseball bat!

You guys make me laugh. Oddball theory that match your -- and only your -- case. Equations that look like it was just a converted recipe for chocolate chip cookies. All I wanted to know was what areas this was involved with (cause there is no Port Jeuno like there was last year) and what was the neat prizes I could get. I wasn't expecting such a laugh out of it all.

Seriously lets think about the kind of theories that I'm seeing on websites and in the game as I'm talking to people.

-- You have to be in an alliance of 18 all in JSE subligar on a full moon Firesday. I got mine, but no one else did but that is how you get it anyway.

(Honestly, if you were the only one who got it, why do you think that this is an acceptable way to report on getting it? Plus, do you think anyone who would try this know 18 people even exist in the world let alone are friendly enough with people in the game?)

-- Well, you get the ring if you talk to Person A, B, and C in that order only have you talk to the moogle 6 times and get 6 Chocobo Tickets. That will equate to exactly Pi (3.14blehblehbleh) points which will unlock the special ring quest where you go to Jeuno and talk to 80 people then come back to a moogle in your home country.

(Honestly, where did this come out of? I mean I can't even begin to imagine how something like this would work and I am a genius. Picking numbers out of the air and putting them into a line adding a plus sign and a multiplication sign, then adding an equal to the end is not how people came up with mathematical theory [well, maybe whoever invented Calculus].)

-- You need to talk to every moogle once and do it in a circle. You see, ring! Get it. You must start in Bastok though.

("Urge to kill, rising.")

Why does everyone need some **** and bull theory to try to come up with the correct way to get an item. Did anyone every just sit down and think, its random?

Last year during this event I was the first person I knew to get the Adventure's Certificate. At that time there was no Chocobo Tickets either, all we got were fireworks. So everytime i ran past a moogle (after the hour passed) I snagged a few more fire works. Finally about 4 days later and about 6 or 7 moogles I got the Certificate.

I told everyone else i got the Certigicate and they all camped the moogle to try and get one from them. Some did, some didn't. As far as anyone of us could tell, it was all luck, nothing more. I didn't do anything special I just talked to him when I had a chance.

Anyone ever try just luck to get something instead of trying of dumb formula or odd ritual that only works for the person who though them up?
New Mob: Pi
# May 16 2005 at 1:32 PM Rating: Default
Let's make fun of these people, shall we?

New MOB:

Pi
Lvl 3.14.....
Demon
Special Ability: Numberlast

Numberlast is an AOE ability that is cast at the beginning of battle. This ability forces all characters within the affected radius to try and find the first repeating number or sequence of numbers in the actual number of Pi. When it is cast, you might as well reset the system since you will be in this battle forever. Pi will sit in amusement while he charms you with his infintely non-repeating form. He does not use any other attacks or abilities.

Well we should expect something to influence it. The NPCs do drone on about parties needing to be diverse.

More importantly there are always large differences in party gains - either everyone gets a ring or barely anybody does. Nobody's yet reported a result between that.

Spoke to Ayame with an alliance of 7 (our party 4, other 3), then Vilatroire with an alliance of 4 (our party 3, other party 1) then Shantoto with a party of 4 (same people as the alliance).

I got a Return Ring, everyone else got either one or two Chocobo Tickets.

The four party members that stayed throughout were a Bastokan Hume (me, level 40), a Windurstian Galka (level ??), a San d'Orian Elvaan (level 71) and Windurstian Taru (level 4). Because of this I seriously doubt that level, race or nationality is taken into account for the prizes, as we were about as diverse as you can get for all of those.

Hopefully players can redo the trip and soon after the last go. I want to get an Outpost Ring too ^^

I love it...if only for telling me my entire set of stats and giving me an excuse to go to Sandy to sell things...I've been wishing I knew my character's kills, KOs etc in number...just to see how I was doing...this event did exactly what I was hoping.

Oh...and I got the homing ring...I still have no idea what it does.

It warps you to the Outpost for the Region you are currently in. It does *not* work in towns, as they are considered to be their own distinct "regions".

Some had said that it might Warp you to thw e last OP you visited (I wish), but it doesn't do that, I tried.

Still, it could come in handy for leveling subjobs (read: da DOONZ) when you get an Invite when yer not quite in the area yet...just grab Signet, take one step into Konschtadt or LTP and use the ring - a few seconds later, you'll be at the OP in Valkurm. No more 5-10 minutes of dodging beastman aggro.

I don't think it's that easy. I have not yet been able to get my homing ring to work. I believe, at the very least, your country has to be in charge of the region the outpost you want to warp to is in AND you have to be in one of the areas of that region. For instance, I tried using this ring in Meriphataud Mountains AND Sauromugue Champaigne(sp) the other day but the region both areas are in, Aragoneau, was under San d'Orian control and didn't work for me (I'm Bastokan). Also, I have delivered supplies (and warped) to the Aragoneau outpost before. I will try to update this when I am able to get this ring to work but I don't want to waste a warp on testing it as I'm fairly sure my theory is sound ^^.

Edit:I just realized that the quoted post is in reference to the 'return ring'. I'm assuming the only difference between that and the 'homing ring' is that the latter gives you 30 charges instead of 10.
