I know, you gotta check the Ebon Panels first

[Demetrios]

Ok I found what we're looking for, in Norg:

Arrg, be good to see ya!So you and yer friends were the landlubbers what saved her, eh?
Don't ya worry none, she be sleepin' it off like a sailor that's too fond of opo-opo brew. The whole ordeal's left me girl a bit under the weather, but she'll pull through.
Hasn't stopped her talkin' me ears off, o'course. Can't get a word in edgewise.
...I jus' be glad that me girl ain't forgotten about me.
Even after walkin' the plank into the great beyond, she still remembers her old man.
She may not be me daughter by blood, but she's still the apple of me eye. I do believe a reward be due you.
Ya can have the pick of one of me treasures. I'll be givin' whatever's left to yer mates what helped ya.
What do ya choose?≺NewLine≻≺Selection Dialog≻Let me think about it.≺NewLine≻≺Marker: 7F8001≻≺Marker: 7F8201≻≺Marker: 7F8103≻≺Item Parameter 1≻.≺NewLine≻≺Marker: 7F8001≻≺Marker: 7F8201≻≺Marker: 7F8103≻≺Item Parameter 2≻.≺NewLine≻≺Marker: 7F8001≻≺Marker: 7F8201≻≺Marker: 7F8103≻≺Item Parameter 3≻.≺NewLine≻≺Marker: 7F8001≻≺Marker: 7F8201≻≺Marker: 7F8103≻≺Item Parameter 4≻.≺Marker: 7F3100≻≺NewLine≻

Arrg, I almost be forgettin'. Me girl wants ya to pummel some beastie that's been hauntin' her dreams. Stuff o' nightmares, she says.
Don't make much sense to me, but I be guessin' you know the truth of it. If ya ever need an old pirate's help, ya just let me know.
Fer a girl what's saved the world, it be an endearin' thing fer her to be afraid of her dreams.
Blimey. Are ya tryin' t'tell me that the savior of the world can't make up mind about a simple thing like this? Guess some things never change, eh?
But who be I t'judge?≺NewLine≻Let me know when you've made yer decision.
Jus' don't complain if all the best loot be taken!
Arrg, so you've made a decision?
By me bleedin' eyepatch, I can't be handing over any booty when yer bag be full of flotsam and jetsam. You heroes need to learn a thing o' two about organization!
Here.
That be a treasure unlike any you'll ever see again.
Don't go losin' it over the side of no stinkin' ferry!
Sorry, ≺Player Name≻, the boss is a little busy right now.
Ye'll have to make yer meetin' fer another day.
I've not seen the boss with that look on his face fer a while.
I mean, we all be happy as a buccaneer in a parrot shop to have Lion back, but there's somethin' else he's not tellin' us...
Arrg! Forget I even said anythin'@
The boss is jus' busy, that's all.
Make yer meetin' fer another day!

9 AM CST tomorrow we can get our earrings >_>

[divisortheory]

That's it all right, it's the earrings

How to predict possible global wars and important coming actions of a far away nation in Vana'diel: popularity of their food.

It's really 5 different people speaking.

So people from a company in the Near East are recruiting mercenaries, are they?
I wonder if this means that their nation is soon to be enveloped by war, just as our lands were in the past...
I heard many tales of the Great War from my dear departed father. They all seemed irrelevant to me until now.


I see you've got a Salaheem's Sentinel badge there...
They must be desperate to use those as an attention-grabbing device.
Maybe the empress of Aht Urhgan is short on devoted subjects...


Hm? I see you have one of those brass badges that Salaheem's Sentinels are handing out unauthorized. Let me take a look at it.
Interesting. Objects from the Near East seem to shine with a different light.
I've heard that the president of Salaheem's Sentinels is quite tight-fisted, but at least this badge is quite luxurious.


Near Eastern cuisine is all the rage now.
Lately I've been studying up on it to add some spice to the palace banquets.
Near Eastern cooking is considered one of the leading cuisines in Vana'diel, so I am sure the archduke will be most pleased.


Lately, the Empire of Aht Urhgan has been building up her army. That's sure to make waves internationally...
Do you think we can continue to preserve friendly relations with all three major nations as the balance of power hangs by a thread?

[Vygun]

aye. Assuming JP midnight now. Thanks for digging up that .DAT ro else we'd be talking to every npc in the game. Good luck on your fights! Probably more cs after earring as well.

[Angrydog]

chreman, I just noticed that too lol. I didn't notice that he has no target selected and still casting. I did have fenrir out, maybe he is casting on that? i don't really know.. interesting..... bug? glitch? ; ; And also I didn't erase the target on the kids casting. he really is casting with no target.

[Banigaru]

Yeah as soon as i went to norg, the guy outside gilgamesh's room told me to comeback at a later time, i guess he's gotta get it on with lion first ; ;

[Tom Chambers]

FUCK U SE SHITTY UPDATE!!!

Arrg, I almost be forgettin'. Me girl wants ya to pummel some beastie that's been hauntin' her dreams. Stuff o' nightmares, she says.

more.to.come?

After 1st bahamut fight, do you have to wait for conquest update to be able to do 2nd bahamut fight?

[Krandor]

After 1st bahamut fight, do you have to wait for conquest update to be able to do 2nd bahamut fight?

As far as I remember (been a while), after doing the first fight you went back to the palace and were told to go back for the 2nd fight, and that was it, nothing happened on the next JP day or the next conquest.

[lagadu]

As far as I remember (been a while), after doing the first fight you went back to the palace and were told to go back for the 2nd fight, and that was it, nothing happened on the next JP day or the next conquest.

You're correct, the "next conquest" thing was a theory that popped when people found out that they couldn't enter the second bc, but before Ouryu was killed again and we found out where the monarch's orb comes from.

Rank 10 in Windurst, Done.
Zilart Missions, Done.
Lower Jeuno Tenshodo and Norg Cutscene, Done.
Chains of Promathia, Done.
Chains of Promathia Lufaise Meadows Cutscene, Done.
Bahamut #1, Done.
Bahamut #1 Completion Cutscene, Done.

Can't fucking flag the damn quest. What the hell is wrong with SE?

[Sorrower]

When u say ZM is done, did u do Divine Might or just the solo battles? So far from what i've seen everyone who got it has DM done and who doesn't have it doesn't have DM done so....might be a decent theory unless someone can post otherwise.

[Tenseiga]

Has anyone with DM done and did not have rank 10 at the time get the CS + Keyitem (or ANYONE that didn't have rank 10 at the time get the CS)? Myself and several others in my LS have have everything else done up to this point:
All Zilart CS done
All CoP CS done/Bahamut 1 clear + CS
Divine Might clear

And have not gotten the CS. The only thing that would be holding us back is that we aren't rank 10 at the moment. I have rank 10 on Bastok, but currently rank 7 Windy, everyone else in my LS that has gotten it has been rank 10 :\

[Angrydog]

in regards to maguspk post and the guy who replied to it. Another person in our ls has all zm done, DM done, all cop, bahamut #1 and still can't get cs for this bcnm.

and a side note: my pt won the bc a sec ago. can't get past aldo cs also

[Smartdrv]

Just finished the BC on Lakshmi (looks like we set the very first time). Did the CS at Aldo, still nothing at Norg...I'm hoping you are right on the time delay thing (guessing JP Midnight also).

<EDIT>
Incase anyone curious, setup was:
Smartdrv - PLD/WAR
Garion - BLM
Weenie - BLM
Angrydog - RDM/NIN
Gregzee - WHM
Dragoncloud - WAR

RDM Kited the PLD while we killed the kid, than we proceeded to kite and kill the PLD (towards the end I fired off Invincible and nuked it the rest of the way) Having 2 stunners for the kids aga really helped.

[Toralyn]

You don't need Rank 10 to flag this quest. I'm Rank 7 San d'Oria and no rank anywhere else and flagged it after doing ZM17 + Norg/Tensodo cutscenes real quick.

[Hiruke]

lol instead of running around in circles.. All the people with RotZ done, CoP done, Bahamut done.. but can't flag quest.. Let me ask you.. Did you beat Bahamut during THIS conquest week? As in Sunday afternoon or later? Obviously you don't need to wait a conquest week in order to do the Monarch's Orb BC, but.. who cares? This isn't that. This is something else.

I'm guessing everyone who CAN flag the quest beat Bahamut a while ago, while the people who can't, only just recently beat it.

[Delekii]

I finished both bahamat and zm today.
Friends with me finished bahamat long time again and zm today.
They can get it, I cant.

Its either game day (doubtful), JP day (hopeful), Conquest Week (probable.)

While I would like to say something like "why the hell do they want to waste our time like that", I then realise its SE
