Early Bird Catches the Bookworm
|
SummaryThe Library of Magic wants you to help retrieve its overdue library books. In this case, a Hume by the name of Orn has checked out the book "Art for Everyone," but has failed to return it by the due date. WalkthroughYou cannot get this quest if you are currently on Windurst Mission 2-1 Lost for Words or 7-1 The Sixth Ministry. If you do start this after finishing one of those two missions, you must leave the zone and then come back to talk with Tosuka-Porika before she will give you this quest. She asks if you'd work for gil. After you accept, she tells you to talk to Furakku-Norakku, who is behind the counter in the same room. Furakku-Norakku gives you a key item: Overdue Book Notification to give to Orn. Orn can be found in the room above the Timbre Timbers Tavern (F-10) in Windurst Waters. He tells you about how some Yagudo waylaid him and how he had to throw things at them to escape, including the book. He asks you to request for an extension for him. Speak to him again. He will tell you he heard that the Yagudo store their stolen items in the Treasure Room of Giddeus. Don't bother asking Furakku-Norakku for an extension, unless you want to for the humor. If you want to plan ahead, buy a Silver Beastcoin before continuing. Head to Giddeus by going out to West Sarutabaruta. The entrance to Giddeus is at (F-8). Take the tunnels behind either the Food or Drink Altars. You need to go down one level to (G-6). When you reach the treasure room, open the door. There is a Yagudo named Quu Bokye "in" the Treasure Room. He wants a Silver Beastcoin. These can drop from higher level Yagudo in the tunnels. (If you are currently doing the Dark Knight quest Dark Legacy, then Quu Bokye will not give you the correct dialogue.) Trade him the Silver Beastcoin and he will give you "Art For Everyone". Head back to Windurst Waters and talk to Furakku-Norakku to complete the quest and collect your reward. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of a series of quests offered by the Optistery. See the list below to find out which quest comes next.

I'm having a problem flagging this quest too. I have finished the Glyph Hanger quest, zoned, and talked to her again, but all she said was something about a model hat.
I figured I was running into problems because long ago I picked up the Hat in Hand quest and never completed it, so I ran my *** off completing that one, then zoned, and came back to talk to Tosuka-Porika. She told me something about looking like an adventurer, riff-raff, what are you doing in here, blah blah. Still no quest.
Can someone help me?

LMK what Im doing wrong!

I'm rank 5 (bastok) with max windy fame. However, I have done few windy quests (other than turning in cornettes). If anyone figures out what exactly is needed to activate this quest I'd love to know.

"Glyph Hanger" is the quest to get the "Map of Horutoto Ruins", and it will take all of about five minutes to complete, if you start at the Opistery. See http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=Windurst&fquest=111 for all the details, but you really just have to go to the other tower of the Opistery (i.e. go to the Western one), talk to Hariga-Origa (to get the quest), run North to zone to West Sarutabaruta, talk to Ipupu in the tower between I-8 and J-8 (just a stone's throw from where you zoned in) and finally run back to Hariga-Origa.
Once you've done this quest, don't forget to zone once more, before expecting the "Early Bird Catches The Bookworm" quest from Tosuka-Porika.
Enjoy! ^^
I get the impression that maybe you can't activate this quest if you have AF started? (I have pld af3 started)
... if so, what kind of deal is that, no relation to this npc or quests at all x_x
I did the Glyph Hanger quest and then I got the Early Bird quest.
I'm not from Windurst, but I do have my fame in Windurst maxed out.
What am I missing?
and so, at this point, you're forced to insert "finish your AF1" before trading in the silver beastcoin.
>_<
When you talk to Furakku-Norakku, she gives you a Key Item: Overdue Book Notification
Overdue Book Notification
This letter reads:
"This is your final notification to
return the following overdue book
to the Optistery's Library of Magic:
"Art For Everyone"
Failure to return this book immediately
will result in a string of fearsome
curses being cast in your direction.
Yours sinisterly,
Tosuka-Porika, Librarian."
When you give the silver beastcoin to Quu Bokye, he gives you a Key Item: "Art For Everyone",
"Art For Everyone"
The book from the Library of Magic
that a Hume named Orn had out on
loan.
It is easy to read, with many
illustrations, but is thick and heavy.
Key Items are good, since my inventory space is limited :)

edit - nevermind, just realized "Lost for Words" is a mission, and I am from another nation.
