Adjustments needed to nearly / literally unbeatable quests

[Sapphire]

I had accidentally gotten the windy one and re-talked to the npc in waters and was able to get into a cancel option

I have Bastok flagged, and finally remembered to go back to quest giver to try this. No cancel option. Are you sure you cancelled an Eco-Warrior and not an Escort mission?

SE needs to update a lot of things. Older content isn't getting any newer and newer content is making it even older. The diversity of what makes this game has all but died each expansion. The latest one makes it extremely obvious how poorly things are being thrown to the curb as old content loses relevant and abandoned.

Yes I think you have to talk to them twice in a row. Once to get them to remind you and then again should be a slightly different response. It was a while back so maybe they ninja changed it.

Actually the garrison in Vollbow (Cape Teriggan) is soloable for mannequin parts since there is no level cap there.

Does it drop all of the parts the scant few bcnms that drop the rest don't drop?

I did talk to ger twice. Three times actually because talking to NPCs over and over again is ingrained in me. She just kept telling me to go to Gusgen.

Huh... Will have try and get one and cancel it or try to.

It only drops mannequin legs and feet. The once a week "ENM" Uninvited Guests is also soloable and has a small chance to drop any of the parts I believe (though I'm starting to wonder if it broke after like one month of nothing but XP scrolls).

Yeah, I got several mannequin parts from Uninvited Guests. I used to do that every week when they first uncapped Promathia areas.

I must say... I'm definitely no fan of Ken!

Marin, on the other hand... oh yeah, now I remember why I went through it all!

It sure was an experience, and even though I did the babysitting of him some ages ago already, and helped a bunch of others get through it as well, it's still vivid in my mind. It's one of those old things that I always thought as something that could, and should have been adjusted, but with the resources and interests of the developers that we have... yeah, maybe some day, somewhere.

I agree with the notion on the tour as well. I did rather randomly end up doing it before getting all my jobs above the level, but I still very much agree that it should be adjusted.

The Ego— I mean Eco Warrior(s) I never bothered with for pretty much the reason stated. It's difficult, and for all the wrong reasons.

Resistance Ops... I did some, but they're definitely not high on my priority list. Even so, I can say that several of them could indeed use adjustments.

Campaign Ops fall towards the above group, although I have done a good bunch of them, if not most of them, at least once. It might actually be easier for me to do them now, as it used to be very difficult to coax anyone to join me for the minimum of 3. I shall do that the next time I can enter that part of Vana'diel!
Another part that still is annoying me to no end, is the need for credits. Just like Assault tags, they're uncool, not fun, and did I mention annoying?

I was always disappointed to see how much they would rather create new and forget the old... It's weird, considering the limitations the game has to deal with.

So much lost potential...


In very short, I agree that these, and other quests with similar difficulties should be adjusted. Just like adjustments on wait time between missions and such, perhaps we get something done to these as well... just in due time.

So I went and got Sandy's Eco-warrior quest and so far have not been able to get it unquested. Though on my one time I got it undone I was in a party so maybe that had something to do with it. Not done testing/trying yet.
