So... can someone confirm this...

So are guildleves the ONLY form of quest that you can undertake?

Ive been doing a lot of looking and i cant really find anyone talking about anything other then gulidleves, nor anyone who can just give me a straight answer and back it up with a website link or something.

Cause I'm kinda sitting here thinking... wtf and i supposed to do in between my 48 hour CD besides grind monsters and gather stuff...?

Help meh!

[shojikun]

did you try talking with baderon? oh and is still in beta, there isnt much questing you can do.... . you should try ohter class as well.

[Yasuhiro]

I don't see how there wont be quests in the final game. Just because something isn't in now doesn't mean it wont be in the game, maybe it just doesn't need to be tested other than by internal testers.

Seems silly if they didn't have old fashioned quests like in FFXI. 100 npcs standing in the city uttering nothing but small talk and no actual purpose would be a bit odd. They are likely stripped from the beta like many other things.

[Goochy]

There's the story line quests also.

Well, here is what I have been doing.

Start a character and run the intro quest to get a little gil in your pocket.

Get your Level 1 Combat GL's and knock those out. That should put you around 4 or 5.

Switch to the gathering profession of you choice and run that up to around 7. That should put you around Physical 9.

Go back and get Level 10 Combat GL and knock those out.

Then pick the flavor of choice way to get one of your jobs to 10 and run the next in the series of the storylines.

Also, in my experience, it is possible to run the lvl 20 LQ at 16. Did it as Lancer.

Hope this helps a bit.

This is true.

Yet you would expect them to say something just to hush some of the panic, i really think that there will only be 2 quests every 2 days, if lots of people are questioning it...

I don't know, maybe i'm just thinking like a consumer instead of someone who stands to make a crap ton of money if they keep things under wrap.

No one really knows to be honest, Most people assume they will be alot of quest we do not see yet since they were so prominent in 11. Currently besides a couple main story line quest and leves there is nothing, but SE is keeping so much of the story and stuff a secret we might not know until commercial release. Seems foolish to have a city completely full of npcs with over 90% of them being pointless though.

Honestly the Leve system seems like an advanced fields of valor system from xi, something for the casual players to enjoy and help them level fast. I predict that will not even be bulk of quest. Then again that is simply my prediction.

SE has proven time and time again with these betas that they're more or less unwilling to give many direct answers. If you haven't noticed, there is no direction or instructions for focused testing. You can't post in the forums or submit bug reports. You're simply there to be there and do what is available so SE can watch the severs and the loggers and see how it goes. That's it.

[Celtic_elf_maiden]

I would assume you submit stuff via the beta forums. That is what my dad does.

You may not have noticed, but when you start the game you are in a boat in the rain and a giant serpent jumps out of the water. You may have missed it? Following on from this event, there is a story line that is called "Treasures of the Main". It's a quest chain that has you running around and learning some things about Limsa Lominsa and its inhabitants.

In Beta, there are some other quest chains too besides Treasures of the Main, many people just dont do them though.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and there's even one where a big, burly Roegadyn Musketeer punches you in the stomach. It's really funny if you're playing a miqote. I can't imagine what it must look like if you're a lalafel!

Not really seeing anything to suggest that there's anything beyond the storyline quests and guild leves.

That was my thoughts exactly.

[Yasuhiro]

From the front page, the continued interview, at the very very bottom:

-Open Beta will have almost all the fundamental parts of the game, but it will only include a small portion of storyline quests.

So from that we can gather that closed beta contains pretty much no storyline quests other than the beginning one. Expect a lot more on release.

There's nothing in game to suggest that Limsa Lominsa isn't the only starting area either. Common sense.

what are you talking about? he's not talking about a storyline...he's talking about random NPC quests ala every other MMO in existence.
