For the Winsome....umm, help?

I'm on the For the Winsome quest. I must've fought over 15 FATEs in the Three-malm area, where the quest tells me to go, and still nothing. I'm suppose to give this guy proof I've actually been and fought there but it's not giving me any evidence to prove I've done so. I've been trying for almost 2 days now, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Is my game glitched or messed up somehow? This is getting really frustrating....

1) It has to be one of two very specific FATEs, not just any FATE in the specified zone.
2) The FATEs in question only seem to have about a 50% chance to spawn Lightning in order to fulfill the quest requirements.

Hopefully someone else can fill you in on which FATEs, 'cause I don't remember.

Google stuff. It works. Really.

if you are still having issues with this quest... I think our video can help... it's not long at all either... just quick tips: http://youtu.be/OlLnlj_YONY

At least this way you have a visual of what to expect...

Note, that this was made on release so there were a hell of a lot more people doing these quests... now-a-days it seems that the crowds are either small or non-existent (at least on Diabolos they are). So partying up will ensure that you don't run out of time for the correct fate.

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure but I thought it said level 17 quest when I left for work. So I had to abondon it for now

Im having the same issue I done both fates and no evidence item from either fate it passing me off

It shows a green tick next to the quest item but I have not completed the quest

But you accepted the quest right? Its in the low lands between swift perch and the zephyr gate where the meglacrabs are. There'll probably be a group hanging out. They clocked back level to 11 if I remember right.

Yes and abandoned it the restarted it but still no package

Did Lightning show up? As posted above, she only shows up for either of those two fates half the time. You'll get a bunch of dialog from her if she's there (in case she doesn't show up on your screen). You only get the packages if Lightning is there.

Yes lighting has shown up but no package even with a gold completion

If your other worldly package failed to show up in your inventory, I would report it as a bug.

But check your inventory to be sure. It works a lot like the airship envoy item. You'll be given an item box that only Petry Winsome can open.

You should get the packages regardless of whether you have the quest or not. On one of my characters I did the FATE several times and got enough packages for most of the weapons before I even reached the level to be able to take the quest.

The requirements to get Otherworldly Packages are:
1) You have to take part in one of those two particular FATEs.
2) It has to be a time when Lightning actually shows up. (She shows up half the time, and it alternates. So if one time she doesn't show up, then she will the next time the FATE pops.)
3) You have to earn either a Silver or Gold completion on the FATE. (A silver will earn you one Otherworldly Package. A gold will get you two of them.)

The Otherworldly Packages have an icon that looks just like some of the crafting items (Animal Sinew, Beast Sinew, etc.), but if you have inventory auto-sorting turned on, they'll sort as miscellaneous. (The first time I saw them, I mistook them for crafting items because of the icon.)

Thxs it appeared in my inventory after I did the valentines quest and could complete the quest transaction I have reported it as a bug via my PS3 support desk on the start menu.

Yep definitely a bug, same thing happened to me on day 2 for that event, which is funny the first one worked fine.

Huh. The first time the Lightning event ran I think it was the only event at the time. It sounds like she doesn't play well with others. Possibly due to the staged nature of the event.
