Ok So I just completed the Bastok version of this quest. I got the item from Abu and he's not saying anything about warping me to Jeuno. What exactly do you have to do for him to do it? I'm Rank 3, (I've done several missions for Bastok already, I'm on 3-3).
FYI

Metalworks
G-7 - Manilam (2nd floor - standing next to elevator, talking to a fat guy)
G-8 - Invincible Shield (2nd floor- outside Cid's room)
K-7 - Ayame (top floor - most upper left corner behind the president's house)
I-8 - Kaela (top floor - in the middle section)
G-8 - Raibaht (2nd floor - inside CID's room)

FYI only. All are on 2nd and top floor. None of them are on the 1st floor. ^_^

For the most part, they don't have badges to flash back. If your badge flashes, then you're good.

I have done Jueno, and all of Bastok except, H-5 - Griselda, she doesn't respond may be due to the fact she is a fake mob for Holloween at the moment. Anyone else having this problem

After you do this quest, you have to do the 1st three missions to be a mercenary, and then speak to the taru in Bastok who gave you the Lure of the Wildcat quest. He tells you that you can warp paying 300 gil after that.
hmmm...

so i have done jeuno and san doria and omw to windy and bastok so as a mercenary will i have to be in whitegate to get special missions or are their npcs in the other cities also?
Problem
# Jul 01 2007 at 7:29 AM Rating: Decent
I'm having the same problem where the NPC won't port me. I've done Windy and Jeuno. Somewhere I've heard that you need to complete all four cities inorder to port. Is that true?

Having Trouble Getting NPC to teleport me...
# Jun 27 2007 at 11:44 AM Rating: Decent
Ok I've done this quest and got the invitation key item, but the NPC won't teleport me... Anyone got ideas? Thx ^^.


Ok... there must be a lvl limit on whether or not he will teleport you b\c my 75 WHm could be tele'd but my 34 Rng couldnt... Can anyone confirm\disprove this? (They are different chars, but both have aht urhgan access)

I haven't had time to test this but I've been thinking that you probably already have to be a mercenary (past a certain ToA mission) in order for the tele thing to work out. I'll confirm it soon.

You don't need this quest to become a mercenary. I've been a merc for ages and never did a single one of these quests. However, with the new update, you need to do these quests if you want to teleport to Aht Urhgan...and..who doesn't?

hi im having a hard time getting to talk to hilda in port bastok e-6. she is up the stairs in the tavern
and it wont let me up to speak with her. how can i get her to come down?
hilda e-6 bastok
# Jul 07 2006 at 2:35 PM Rating: Decent
You can also wait at the bottom of the stairs in between the rope and the counter. She eventually comes down the stairs close enough to talk to her.

Stand just under the edge of the balcony and wait for her to come to the edge. The distance is close enough for you to talk with her. Hope this helps~
Ken?

That darn All By Myself quest seems to be in the way... I talk to Ken and all I get is the quest stuff, no flashy badge...

NVM, apparently I had already gotten that one at some point before. :-)

Get your invitation reward from:
# Apr 26 2006 at 6:46 PM Rating: Decent
After you get all four cards take them to Naja Salaheem in the Salaheem's Sentinels (I-10) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate.

You will recieve 1 Imperial Mythril Piece.

I'm guessing if you only trade in one invitation at a time you'll just get 1 Imperial Bronze Piece for each. 2 may get you 5 Imperial Bronze Pieces. 3 maybe 1 Imperial Silver Piece. I don't know for sure because I wanted the best reward which is the Mythril Piece. These are just based off of the currencty extange for credits from Ugrihd (G-9) Aht Urhgan Whitegate.

Good luck.

Mog Locker
# Apr 06 2006 at 9:32 AM Rating: Decent
Doing this mission and the one's from the other cities allows you to become employeed by Salaheem's Sentinels. Mercenary is not a job, as in a Warrior or Monk or yada yada yada, but if you work as a mercenary for Salaheem's Sentinels you can be deployed on missions and such and get paid for them. You also get a Mog Locker, which allows you to store 30 items (it might just be weapons and armor. I dunno) and you can increase it to 50 slots. Only players who are employeed by Salaheem's Sentinels can get a Mog Locker.

Square-Enix just posted a whole article on Mog Lockers on the PlayOnline Website.

Just a thought...:P

Just an FYI, but it doesn't seem that doing the 4 Lure of the Wildcat quests is necessary for mercenary status. I need to complete the next mission for sure, but from the way it sounds from Salaheem all I need to do is Aht Urhgan mission 2 to become a mercenary.

Well I did all of them in about a day "not all at once" and I had no problem with anything I got all four badges. I am just curious for what mercenaries do!

time limit?
# Mar 26 2006 at 4:13 PM Rating: Default
I did the bastok version of this quest and I have verified that I have 'flashed my badge' to all 5 people in each zone, but he wont exchange it. Do you need to wait for a day to pass or something?

EDIT: After running through bastok and talking to everyone AGAIN, I found that you may need to talk to Horatius 2x..

To be safe I would recommend talking to everyone on the list until they revert to what they usually say.

wow 3 hours of my life later...
# Mar 25 2006 at 3:38 PM Rating: Default
ok, I did this one saturday morning,
Bastok
Windy Jeuno and Sandoria.

each town will give you a ITEM and tell you to visit (new area).
But.. you must do ALL 4 cities as I understand it.
The good news is I now have the ability (once I visit new area in NEW EXSPANSION) to become a Mercenary.

Yes a Merc.
