April 11th - Bastok Leading nation - get your Windurst fame!

Bastok is currently the leading nation, meaning that many vendors in Bastok are selling items that are otherwise impossible to buy from a vendor, this applies to conquest point purchases as well.

This is the perfect time to max your Windurst fame if you have nothing better to do. Head over to Harmodios's Music Shop at K-10 and buy as many Cornettes as you can. Send them to your Windurst character and head over to turn them into Yoran-Oran's Manor at E-5 (Windurst Walls) and hand them to Yoran-Oran for a reward of 200gil and Windurst fame.

The nice thing about this quest is that you don't need to zone between turn-ins. So just take all your gear and whatever else you are carrying off and load up on as many Cornettes as you can and go to town.

I was able to buy the Cornettes in Bastok at 253gil.

I turned in about 70 Cornettes last night and went from Windurst fame rank 3 (Oh, you're the Sculli that people are starting to talk about. I've heard good things about you.) to fame rank 5 (Hello there <name>! There aren't many Windurstians who don't know that name. We're all proud to have you on our side! Keep up the great work!).
 
Hehe, good idea. I may try that, though my Windurst fame is already at lvl 5, since I'm such a quest whore. ^^;; I happen to be in Bastok right now, and I'm trying to raise my fame there while I wait for my friends to get there so we can get Palborough Mines keys for our Kazham airship passes and fight the Bastok dragon, whom one of my friends needs to fight for Windurst Rank 3.
 
I saw you Sculli during the egg hysteria near the gate by mog in Wind.. I'm sure you probably didn't see me because I hadn't loaded yet..
 
Honestly, if you just want fame in Bastok, go for the Selbina repeatable quest. Hit up every auctionhouse for the cheapest moss, and trade them in for fame in Sandy, Bastok, and Jeuno. You can make back 7200 gil per stack of moss. It took me about 14 stacks to get level 7 fame. With an average price of 8000 per stack, I spent 8400 gil to get lvl 7 fame in 3 cities.

You can get lucky when the moss is overstocked and get them for 7200 - 7500 though.
 
Pretty sure he's talking about windy fame. He's from windy. :)

As for the cabbage run.. I think I've done that about 80 times... Moss, corn and cabbage all combined.. I never bought corn, because you lose too much money on it.. but I did grow a crapload of it and turned it in for profit.

Cabbage loses a little bit of money, but if the moss is 7k or less/stack, you make money on the moss... too bad it's usually in short supply.
 
I was talking to kyrial actually. ^^ He said he was doing bastok quests to raise his fame.
 
Oh... gotcha. :)

BTW.. Sand was in first place as of last night... but that damn shellra scroll was not available in town.. I ended up paying 3k for it at AH. :( ack!
 
Doh! How often do conquest leaders change? I thought it was only once a week? Didn't have much time and didn't buy any more instruments in Bastok ... /sigh, well I guess they will be in first place again sometime.
 
Yeah, I know all about the cabbage run, but I need a bit of gil to get it started (I don't even have enough to buy a stack of moss right now ><;;). That's okay though. Right now my main concern is getting a Palborough Mines key so I can get my Kazham airship pass.

That's crazy ..., check your delivery box, pay me back when you can, lump sum or installments, whatever.
 
Cornettes sell in Bastok when they're in 2nd too. They sell for 219 each with max Bastok fame.
