Norg Fame-> Utsusemi, Warning

[Lunakat]

Just a warning to the new Nin's out there. I recently finished the Yagudo Bead Necklace quest in Windrust 50 times (200 necklace's). Checked on rice balls and they were at 155gil ea. Ran to Norg and did not have enough fame to get the Utsusemi scroll quest although I did get the Tonko scroll quest.

The bead necklace quest was the only thing I did for Norg fame. I did not have the Tenshodo(sp?) Invite quest done nor did I have enough Jeuno fame to start the Invite quest.

Now I finished the Tenshodo Invite by buying the Invite at the AH and handing it to the mithra in Neptuens Spire Inn in Lower Jeuno. Rice Balls are at 153 for me now and I will be doing the zinc ore quest a few times.

I will head down to Norg tonight and check it out, I will post the results here.

For me, only doing the Yagudo Bead Necklace quest in Windrust did not give me enough fame for the Utsusemi quest.

Is this due to the fact that I have little Jeuno fame?

Thanks much

I was under the understanding that the necklace quest only gave 1/4 the tenshodo fame that the zinc quest did (although it also gives windurst fame), and you supposedly need to do the zinc around 25 times.

I did the necklaces about 50, and another 12 or so of the zinc just to be sure. I probably overkilled it though, but at this point I really could care less. :D

i got both quests after doing zinc once, tenshodo invite and necklace 52 times. iirc the rice balls were ~153

I did Yag Necklace quest 50 times, I farmed about 80% of my necklaces, so I made a profit doing it.

I did Tenshodo Invite quest as well, and the Tonko: Ichi ninjitsu quest. After all that I had enough fame for the rest of the ninjitsus.

50 bead necklace quests
+
3 zinc ore quests
+
Tenshod Invite quest (invite bought at the AH in jeuno)
=
Enough Norg fame for Utsusemi.

Rice Balls at 152

Just don't make the mistake of spending 6k on 1 silent oil, make sure your getting a stack

Thanks for the posts

hmm, maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but when I checked at the counter in the Teshedno HQ, all I saw was "Sticky Rice", nothing called "Rice Balls" and the Sticky Rice was over 300 gil. That can't be it, is it? How the heck am I supposed to get price down 50%? I've done Zinc quest twice, Yagudo necklace twice, San d'Oria Luaun Sheild quest, and I did Teshendo membership quest. I know that's not going to be a ton of fame, but it should be a start shouldnt it?

it should be the mithra (iirc) right as you enter the door of the neptune spire inn.

Ok, my mistake, I was checking at the counter where they sell all the NIN/SAM equips that is inside the Teshendo HQ. I'll check again tonight.

That's odd.

When my rice balls were 160gil I went to Norg.
In Norg I did the shining subligar and the shining leggings quests and suddenly I could accept both the Tonko and the Utsusemi quests. When I was done with both of them, I returned to Jeuno and checked rice ball price; 156 gil.

You need Jeuno fame to but an invite and hand it over successfully? Can't you jsut buy it and trade it without Jeuno fame?

riceballs 156 = X

riceballs 150 = O
