Where does the boat in Norg go to??

[Alhanelem]

Your point? They guys on the ship aren't undead and aren't skeletons.

[detlef]

I was under the impression that the ship went to Candied Island.

Looks like there is a way to get down to the dock but a npc is blocking the path so my guess it was planned for some other content long time ago that SE has not used yet. maby boat to mithra homeland?

That ship, actually has a quite long history. Most of it was training a group of indigents on the east coast of Africa, who actually turned on Gilgamesh and ran them off to a distant new land. Its original name is unknown, but at one point, Gilgamesh ordered 96 quite bitter ninjas to equip the old barnicle bucket with the means to fly (mainly because normal waterbourne ship piracy wasnt bringing in as much since the introduction of airships). Anyhoo, it worked for a bit, but the flying mechanism failed over North Gustaberg, and by what seemed to be a stroke of luck, it landed in the river atop Drachenfall. The negative side is that it actually went OVER Drachenfall and was disabled for several weeks in the river below. Bastokers mocked the failure and nick-named the ship "Cirrhosis of the River", mainly because when this happened, Drachenfall couldn't flow like it used to, and the erosion formed a cave under the falls.

After that, they went back to what they knew... Summoning Skeletons onto passenger ships, which has horrible profits. The drastically low profits did help them in the long run, however. It forced Gilgamesh to find other means of making precious gil. He found that by the creative minds at the "Norg Internal Ninjutsu Jeopardous Association". N.I.N.J.A. answered Gilgamesh's call with the development of a vast array of new ninjutsu, and a more convenient set of tools that were fairly universal.

So next time your inventory isn't so full, thank the failure of the "Cirrhosis of the River".

part of the story the NPCs in Norg tell you mention that ship attacks and raids other ships, and the pirates on the ship that attack the Selbina/Mhuara ships has no skeletons on it and if you watch closely the skeletons appear only on the deck of the ship they are attacking, and from the looks of it they are summoned there, so it has to be assumed the NPCs on the pirate ship are Necromancers

so I say this, prove that ship in Norg isn't the pirates attacking, it is all assumption both ways except for there is more in the story pointing toward that being them than not

Guys.

The ship is obviously the Lunar Whale from FFIV. It can travel to the moon.
The reason there is no evidence of this in-game is that it is a well-kept Norg secret because there is a HUGE bounty to be harvested on the moon and they risk no chance of anyone else finding out about it.

To confirm this, somebody just has to kidnap Gilgamesh and question him about the Rift and how he used it to siphon matter out of the world of FFIV. If we're lucky he'll give us Ex-death's phone number and we can ask him about it ourselves.

To think:

SE was at one time really considering a necromancer job but concluded it wouldn't fit in with the other classes in FFXI because the job would control the dead. Instead, it was concluded that Puppetmaster would feel like a more Final Fantasy job.

Seriously SE? Seriously? We lost the ability to call skeletons, ghosts and shades for PUP? /facepalm

Eh i rather enjoy playing as pup FYI, its really fairly flexible and not a bad dd, just not the best.

Actually, I like the idea of robots better than skeletons.
