NPC name: for "The Usual suspect" - Otopo Pottopa (sp?) & Don't Shoot the Messenger, Gridania - none
Monster-None
In-game time: sorry didn't catch it but was happening continuously tonight
Steps:

For "The Usual Supect"_ I spoke with Otopo after noticing the (!) over his head Scrolled thru the dialogue and recieved the message that I had gotten a wanted poster. I NEVER received a quest listing in my journal. I talked with some linkshell mates and attempted to trigger what I needed to for the quest, to include putting my character in the Ul'dahn Inn and exiting game for approximately 15 mins and logging back on. During the entire time I was attepmting to start the quest I only had 6 storyline/GC quests listed, 3 regional quests , and 4 local levequests so I had the space to accept the quest. I repeatedly got rid of the wanted poster to attepmt to re-trigger the quest but only received the wanted poster - no quest. I made several attempts to do this quest from approximately 8:30pm-9:45pm EDT

For "Don't Shoot the Messenger-Gridania"-I accepted the quest and had absolutely no problems with each of the steps necessary to continue up to the point when I spoke with Cid in MorDhona and was told to go get the items from the Crash site. At this point I partied up with first one, then two and eventually three other folks. We wandered around missed the wreck site completely and eventually ended up at the new Aetherite node cave. I clicked on the Node and got the typical message that I had arrived. I pushed leave and then since nobody had ??? over their heads, 3 out of 4 of us decided to head out to the crash site.

We fought a bunch of Imperials and all of us received keys to open the stronghold box nearby message (this was reflected in my journal) got to the large box and the other two characters could see ??? over the box. They were able to scroll thru their dialogue and finish that portion of the quest. I mentioned I could not see ??? and the other two kindly stayed so I could run around and walk around the box. I tried clicking on all sides of the box while facing each and every side. I did this while taking aggro and not taking aggro. I and my two other party members tried for over 30 mins everything we could think of to get this portion of the quest to trigger for me. UP to and including logging out to the character screen and back. Nothing would make it trigger so we eventually gave up and I teleported to Ul'dah and ran into the above problem. (The Usual Suspect). This occured approximately from 7:45 pm EDT to 8:30pm.

I want to say I logged completely off game from 8:45pm to 9pm. I went back in at 9 pm and as a solo player re-tried to trigger The Usual Suspects (with no luck) and decided to go to Camp Brittlebark and re-try my luck with unlocking the Strongbox (no luck there either). At 9:45pm I gave up on both quests and logged out of game after returning to my secondary home point the at the Roost in Gridania.

If any more info is needed please let me know

I'm having the exact same problem with "Don't Shoot the Messenger-Ul'dah". The strongbox is marked with a ? mark on my mini-map but I can't actually find any place to click on the box to continue the quest. I also logged out and logged back into the game, didn't help at all.

For the inn quests you need to be logged out for quite a while, try logging out overnight.

@Isilud - TY for the reply. I do log out of game in the Inn rooms and still did not get the quest this morn. I have re-dropped the wanted poster and got a new one from Otopa. I logged out of the game this morn in my Inn room so when I get home from work tonight I hopefully will have a cutscene waiting for me when I log in. Thank you again for taking the time to reply :D

@Beatrice - I was finally able to complete this quest this morning. I rode up to the strongbox, made sure my character was standing dead in front of it and used my "tab" key to target the box. I NEVER had any ??? above or on it, just the ??? in green when I highlighted it (using the tab key). I hit the enter button and received the first set of schematics. However you do this Beatrice you must receive TWO sets of schematics and you will have a really cool cutscene after that.

I did have another glitch AFTER I finally completed this portion of the quest. I could not leave the instance with Cid afterwards. I eventually had to crash the client and get back into game. At that point in time I had to run out of the instance (ran back to camp) and teleport myself to Grid. I have finished This quest (and used alot of anima in the process). The cutscenes & instances were awesome (love storyline continuation)! However the jumping through hoops to finish them, NOT awesome. Here's hoping that the above narrative helps someone else out.
