Event help

for me the Limsa (Clue: Construction and Docks which made me think of Moraby dry docks) and Gridania (Clue: Chocobos which made me think of bentbranch meadows ) ones where easy the Ul'dah (Clue: Kings) one was a little vague to me but I kinda knew where it was as my FC friend was talking about that in the chat a few days prior

It may Seem a bit hard for people who are a bit new since the hints involve land marks or descriptions as the hints but just remember they all seam to be in a athearite camp.

Summerford has grape vines and some kind of fruit trees. It actually does make sense :P

Needless to say I was not correct.

Pharos sirius is the biggest Lighthouses. There are still 2 smaller Lighthouses in La Noscea. North of Aleport and at Moraby Bay.

Did not realise it was possible to get different clues from your friends. That is good design. I did the Shroud one first and my clue was chocobo, which obviously means Bentbranch. That set my expectation that each of the three clues leads to an aetheryte camp, and sure enough, construction = moraby, king = horizon. My first hunch for each was correct; was nice to be rewarded for having basic knowledge of the world.

My Ul'Dah clue was "saloon" so I left Ul'Dah out one of the gates and went to the Coin and Coffin in Central Than. He wasn't there, so I went to the aetheryte to check the buildings near there, and he was by the aetheryte. The Limsa one was tricky because I got "lockup" and it made me think of those Fates where Yellowjackets are escorting prisoners in Lower La Noscea. I completely forgot about that little prison cell in Aleport.

I really enjoyed these quests, though. I hope future events follow the same idea.

When i got the Valentione quests, the hints i got were:

• “Central Shroud” for the Gridanian quest
• “tidegate” for the Limsa Lominsan quest
• “kings” for the Ul’dahn quest

Yep.
I got "Sunway" for Ul'dah, "salt" for Limsa, and "chocobo" for Gridania.

The resulting people were found in:

Ul'dah: Black Brush Station (boyfriend got king, found the person in Horizon - when I tried to talk to him, he got mad and said the letter "wasn't my <mushy name>'s handwriting and the scent was atrocious" and that I had the wrong guy.)
Limsa: Around the docks in Moraby Bay (boyfriend got construction, but it was the same person for both of us)
Gridania: Bentbranch, sitting on a stump by the aetheryte (we had the same hint)

This is awesome, I had "chocobo", "gate", and "booze".
I wish more events are like this. But not as hard as winebaud of course..

I agree. I always enjoyed running through san d'Oria when I reached a new level multiple of 5, talking to every NPC to see which ones had new quests for me. :D
