Say It with Flowers  

The Fame requirement is 2, so yes, you will need a few quests under your belt before you are able to flag this quest. You cannot get this quest with Food For Thought /active/. It will be available once you have completed Food For Thought.

The taru is in (J-9) not (H-12) as the description says. It's just across from where the quest starter is, in the south part of windy waters.

If u keep repeating this quest Do u Keep Getting the Iron Sword ?

The Tahrongi Cactus is located at F6 in Tahrongi Canyon.

If you low lvl or 11 ish if you have help geeting to bastok or about for the 2-3 mission you can join the alchemy guild
if you have a lower job you can xp up for the subjob (lvl 19 but if you get main job 20 other job parked at 10 will be waiting to equip) and if you hunt goblin fishers in East Serubat. or East Ronferu. for lightning crystal they dont drop much can buy em too.

This Makes the Distilled water. granted it's ezier. to buy em but this is an ez. way to skill alechemy starting off.

Also Thiers Rarely Cacti on Auction House Thus.
You can Make A good bit by farming em out. if at all posible.

Well I also had the request for rarest, mysticalest, and elegantest flower. But I forgot to write this down. At the rhinostery, I answered anything, got the amaryllis for 200g. Walked back to the taru to see the real description.

He questioned if the amaryllis was such a described flower, but gave me back 100g and allowed me to finish the quest, along with the chime that plays when you get 'increase in fame'.

Well that works for me! Don't know if the fame increase is the same but I'll be doing tons more repeatable quests anyway to get max fame so tp be able to complete this one in the same zone in a few mins is good enough for me

I was able to get this quest and the following was true for me:
The fame-meter woman told me: "Oh, you're the <name> that people are starting to talk about. I've heard pretty good things about you."

I had the "Food For Thought" quest listed under "current," in other words I had received it but had not completed it. I was still able to talk to Ohbiru-Dohbiru about the flowers.

Moari-Kaaori told me, when giving me the quest, to get "The rarest, mysticalest, elegantest flower there is!"

Ohbiru-Dohbiru asked me to describe the flower via three questions. Each question had three answers, and one of the answers was one of the words Moari-Kaaori used to describe the flower. I chose the answers Moari-Kaaori gave me and Ohbiru-Dohbiru did not give me a flower, instead she told me about the Tahrongi cactus. She did not know where to get one though, so she told me to ask Kenapa-Keppa, but he only told me, again, that he wanted a hard-boiled egg (for "Food For Thought"). I gave him a hard-boiled egg, talked to again, but he only grinned. I'm guessing it's not that important he tell you if you can find out where it is on this website.

You need to talk to Moari-Kaaori before you can repeat this quest.

You can't get the Tahongi Cactus until you've talked to him first.

Maori-Kaaori wants: The rarest, mysticalest, elegantist flower there is.

Just in case you forgot to read the description he gives you.

If Moari-Kaaori just cries and doesn't talk about the flower, you have to do more quests in order to raise your fame. Also, I forgot how he described the flower so the Rhinostery gave me an Amerylis (sp?). you pay 200 gil for the flower and then when you give it to Moari-Kaaori, he gives you 100 gil if it is not the one he wants.

So it is important to remember exactly how he describes the flower.

I've completed about 13 missions at Windurst and I thought maybe this quest would open up but it still hasn't. I'm wondering if this quest is only available for Windurstians only (cuz my character is from Bastok)

I gave em a lilac also and didn't get the CUpid title.. instead it showed i completed the mission and got crawler culler as my title.. a quest i done like 20 quests ago... my last quest was from the making amends task.. glue fixer or something like that.. so how did i fall back or does the names not even matter? it shows thsi quest as completed now btw.
