Your Title: Destined Fellow

Finally, SE puts in something useful that doesn't require a goddamn alliance of people to accomplish. The fellowship quests were implemented a while back, early 2006 I think. I never actually bothered to attempt them until recently. There's a skeleton NM fight in the Eldieme Necropolis that might be pretty hard if you're around level 40. As my warrior is sitting at 60, the fight was laughable. But also disconcerting; if this was too easy, how hard would the burning circle fight later be? Turns out, the dragon is actually easier than the skeleton as long as you have lvl 40 gear since it is capped at 40. This comes in handy as a BST, as the 30% cut to XP the NPC brings isn't too bad and having someone else around to take a few hits is nice. I need to figure out a way to take screenshots of the chat log, as my new NPC and I hit XP Chain#3 twice in a row to level me up to and a little past 27. I just wish I’d paid more attention to the list of names you can pick from, as my NPC is a female Taru named Pakurara. While I’ve only actually spoken to a handful of female Tarus, for the most part they’re among the most respectful and trustworthy people in Vana’diel, so ending up with one is a pretty good deal. I wonder if SE was just softening people up with an easy quest that rewards you with an NPC who is more than happy to fight at your side. The quests to unlock the Aht Urhgan jobs are a complete bitch for the most part, and while the Corsair’s tricorner hat does look pretty cool, I’d have to be a Corsair to get it. Not a goddamn chance of that.


Still, the hat is pretty cool…..
