Bronze/Silver Shovel Cordon and Adoulin fame.

[Zarchery]

I've been trying for a long time to get the bronze and silver mattock and shovel cordon key items to boost max imprimaturs and reduce imprimatur regeneration time.

The Bronze and Silver Mattocks seem pretty easy (although very time consuming). Just complete every coalition assignment.

So that brings me to the Shovel Cordons. I got the Bronze one, but I'm not sure how. BGWiki lists 15 Adoulin quests that it says get you the Ivory Wing Talisman, and with the talisman and all coalition assignments through Advisor rank finished, you get Bronze Shovel. That didn't seem to work for me, so I just went and did a bunch more Adoulin quests. Eventually, I got the Ivory Wing Talisman after talking to NPC once, then Bronze Shovel after talking again.

Which brings me to today. I just attained Legend rank for the Scouts, which makes me Legend in all coalitions. I've also cleared every single coalition assignment. Now I have the Silver Mattock Cordon. She still won't give me the Silver Shovel Cordon though. Anyone know how to get her to cough it up?

So far I have completed about 70 different Adoulin quests; that's every quest except for a few Mog Garden quests and the RUN and GEO artifact/relic quests (I don't want to level those jobs to 99). Still my Adoulin fame is only rank 5 out of 9. Do I need more fame? How can I build it further?

I'd recommend doing the mog gardens ones then (I believe you need to do all but the last one). And triple check the coalitions assignments and legend status. That's the highest fame you can get for now. My mule only has 66 quests done from the look of it (haven't done any of the ones since the those items came out) and 89 assignments (all except the base provisions).

Also something else might be holding it up like previous rewards. Have you gotten the ones from the T1/2/3 naakual?

[Zarchery]

I was pretty thorough with the Coalition stuff. Printed out the whole listed, went through completed and crossed out old ones, then crossed out new ones as I went. I already have both Mattock Cordons and the Bronze Shovel. It's the Silver Shovel I can't get.

Still working on Mog Gardens. Just did Trinket for the Tyrant today.

Another thing to look for is, missing quests in your completed quest, I for example had 1 quest where I had done everything except return to the start NPC to finish the quest. Despite that it had disappeared from my current quest list and was stopping me from getting the silver shovel cordon.

Still pretty easy to miss. I'd check again. I can confirm that you don't need Trinket as I got it before than and I got it without doing any geo/run quests other than unlocking. So you are either you haven't completed some old quests or Coalition or haven't gotten some other rewards. Have you refought all the naakuals since they updated them a few months ago?

I'll try to run a review of older quests when I get the time.

But don't you need to do all coalition assignments to get the bronze and silver mattocks? I would think if that were a problem I wouldn't have the 2 mattock key items either.

[Tidis]

It's probably quest related, if it helps I could produce a list of all the quests I've done as they appear in the quest log, the quests all appear in the same order so it would be an easy way to check for missing quests.

I'm thinking so too. That list would be pretty handy.

Alrighty, I'll produce a list when I get home from work tonight so about 5hrs from now.

But don't you need to do all coalition assignments to get the bronze and silver mattocks? I would think if that were a problem I wouldn't have the 2 mattock key items either.

Maybe still can't hurt to check.

Ok thanks. I printed that out, going through talking with the NPCs at start and end, crossing them off as I confirm.

[Tidis]

If they're in your completed list you'll be fine, I don't know how many quests do it but there is definitely some that will disappear from your quest list when you have done the objectives but haven't collected the rewards.

Also my list didn't include them but the mog garden quests need to be done too.

[Zarchery]

Well I double checked all those quests. Those check out. I even did a few not on your list (Mistress of Ceremonies and its prerequisite, as well as the new quest in the quest line with the hospital).
Double checked on coalition assignments. Those are all done too.
I'm not sure I'm all the way through on Mog Garden stuff. Trinket for the Tyrant was the last one I did. I have the items to do Hypnotic Hospitality but I think I have to wait a few more days to do that. What are the quests are in that line?

[Tidis]

Hypnotic Hospitality you get the Hoe, the one after it is Titillating Tomes, where you get the Straw Hat and is the last of the mog garden quests.

People have checked, the fame cap was set to 5, and they haven't lifted it. I often wonder if they forgot.

Psst, Matsui-san! SoA fame cap raise please!

[Zarchery]

I finally got this a few days ago. After I did all the stuff I previously mentioned and talked to my Moogle in my Mog Garden, I flagged the quest "Hypnotic Hospitality". When I finished that, I talked to the mithra NPC in the library who gave the previous imprimatur key items (Rega or Reja I think). I talked to her twice. First time she gave me some kinetic units. Second time she gave me the Silver Shovel Cordon.
