Main Scenario Quest - Hest of the Best (Problem)

Ok. It says to use the Duty Finder to undertake the guildhest "Hero on the Halfshell" But the thing is, it is not listed under Guildhest in my Duty Finder. It's weird cause when I click on the blue letters under Hest of the Best, a map pops up displaying a red circle at around x-18, y-23 in Central Thanalan.

Hest of the Best and Hero on the Halfshell appear to be two totally different quests that has some how been merged and glitched. Hero on the Halfshell is a Lv. 15 Guildhest and Hest of the Best is a Lv. 50 Main Scenario Quest quest. @@

Yeah, you got to do every single guildhest before that to unlock it, starting at the level 10 ones, in total you'll need to do 9 for the storylines guildhest requirements.

You have to do the one for the other to complete - liek when you unlock levequests at a camp kinda.

What Next, REQUIRED PvP???

This is such B.S. and a complete time sink. I'm a legacy and all stages of Beta player on my THIRD character (the one pictured is a throwaway), admittedly first level 50 on my current Midgardsomr char. ...and NOW I have to do GUILDHESTS to progress??? I "think" I know how to play my my job(s) and I don't cherish the idea of MORE wasted time waiting as a dps for the effin' DF to pop. NO WAY am I wasting my FC members' time on this horse dung.

Whose "brilliant" idea was this, and what's next, REQUIRED PvP because some producer is peeved because HIS CONTENT isn't being used enough??? Really stupid move, SE.. really stupid.

:mad:

The highest level one you have to do is level 30... just queue on your healer, it'll take you a half an hour to do them all.

Ok, That´s the exactly the problem. Hest of the Best is the Name of the quest, and Hero on the Halfshell IS the hest you need to do to complete that quest, thats all.

There isn't a hest called "Hest of the Best," that's just the quest name. You need to do a specific hest, iirc "Hero on the Halfshell," in order to finish the quest, kind of like when a quest asks you to do a specific dungeon. But if you've done all the hests, then the quest should be showing as completed anyway, unless you picked it up afterwards.

Yes it was a mistake to put a guildquest to progress on MSQ, and but is known that is never gonna do it again. the patch 2.1 had lots of mistakes

"Hest of the Best" is not a name of a Guildhest. It's a quest in the MSQ line. I think? The NPC that starts it is Slafborn in Revenent's Toll.

The quest actually alludes to that, in saying that you're doing these to help spread word of the Adventurer's Guild in Mor Dhona (you, the veteran, are trying to bring in greenhorn adventurers, basically).

Of course, since it's not a commonly used feature, instead of just popping in and getting the couple needed done, most of us had to do that unfortunate total of 9 back to back to finish what should have been a really quick quest.

Just having to do one wouldn't have been as big an issue, I think, and would have fit the direction of the story at the time - helping build the reputation of the Adventurer's Guild in Mor Dhona. The problem was that it required a feature that many may not have even realized was even a thing in the game that also required linear unlocking of each step. Unlocking each level of guildhest simply by reaching the required level would have significantly cut down on the frustration that comes with this step of the MSQ.

They were pretty good extra XP when levelling up as you got a good bonus when you did them the first time on each job. But when I did them FATE and dungeon XP was lower.
