New Inn Quests not Flagging

[dev1001][dev1002] The following sidequests have been added:

Quest Title Client Location
The Usual Suspect - The Hourglass (Ul’dah)
In Plain Sight - The Roost (Gridania)
Private Eyes - The Mizzenmast Inn (Limsa Lominsa)
To trigger these quests, players must first obtain a Gauwyn the Gannet Wanted Notice from Otopa Pottopa, who can be found on the Merchant Strip (6,4) in Ul’dah. Otopa Pottopa will only give notices to those who have already completed each of the following three quests:

The Ink Thief (Limsa Lominsa), Waste Not Want Not (Gridania), Ring of Deceit (Ul’dah)

Once the item has been obtained, players will then need to log out from their own room at one of the aforementioned inns, and log back in after a certain amount of time has passed.
* Players who accidentally dispose of the wanted notice may obtain another by speaking again with Otopa Pottopa.
* The wanted notice is a quest item only used to trigger The Usual Suspects, In Plain Sight, and Private Eyes, and will not be used for any other purpose.
* Please note this quest will not trigger should the maximum number of quests already be underway, even when the necessary conditions are fulfilled.


Has anyone got these to pop after logging in??? or do you know the approximate amount of time you need to be logged out in order for it to flag?

I would like to know this as well. Seems others in my ls are getting it to happen but I havent yet and Im sure I was one of the first to get the item as others in ls were busy doing DH and primals while i was busting through the new content.

I have logged out in each inn for over 3hrs each time and never got the quest to happen.

I logged for 3 hours, didn't trigger Private Eyes. I know that I got Usual Suspects to trigger after being logged off overnight. That was about...12 hours, maybe?

It seems to be random—just like the nightmare.

Yeah I got it not after being off for the night, but after logging for an hour or so to do some other stuff the next morning. Others in my shell also have been off for random periods and had it trigger after logging in/out 2/3 times.

can you trigger all 3 of them or is it just one of the three?

so i got the one in uldah to flag and after you complete it the npc says the theif might be in the other cities as well. can anyone confirm or deny that they can flag more than one of them???

I finished all three without issue. I do believe you have to complete them in a specific order however. Otopo will indicate which one you need to do next, so therefore be sure to log off in the corresponding inn.

the quest does work i only logged out for about an hour but you have to do them in order as in:The Usual Suspect - The Hourglass (Ul’dah)
In Plain Sight - The Roost (Gridania)
Private Eyes - The Mizzenmast Inn (Limsa Lominsa)

Anyone got some kind of, bug?
When I log in in my inn, after character screen, it take a long time to load
I then force kill the client, the last screen I could see is my character on bed

That's not a bug, that's a cutscene ...

I just completed these last night.

1) Get the quest item from Otopo
2) Go to the Ul'dah inn and select the bed, then select exit
3) Wait at least one earth hour, no shorter
4) Log in, after a while of blackness a cut-scene should start
5) Next go to the Gridania inn, select the bed, and select exit for at least an hour again
6) Repeat for Limsa

After Limsa you will need to ride out to hunt them down. Note that the scenes should trigger any time you spent more than an hour sleeping in the inn, so you do not have to rush to complete this quest. Take your time and play as normal.

Only thing is, I still have the non-tradeable notice and have no idea what to do with it.

I have all the conditions met for the quest.

After reading a few replies it seems you need to rinse and repeat and sleep-exit in ALL three inns to get the quest, not just "at one of the aforementioned inns".

I will try staying at the other two and see what happens.

I also went to all cities and tried numerous times and nothing, but I think I figured out my problem. I have been going into the INN and using exit game from the menu. Today, I clicked on the bed and selected return to character screen, and it says "Logging out" and after a few hours when I logged back in, I got the cut scene.

Incidentally, maybe that means you could log out and log in as another user while you wait.

You have to go and sleep in all three inns, by select "exit game" at the bed, not by the door.

The final sequence is outside of LL where you end up "getting" into a fight, and the guy gets arrested. End of quest. The item stays in your inventory.

I have yet to get CS when logging in-have logged out for 1 hour and as much as 9 hours - i have item in inventory and sit in bed and log out--getting very frustrated

I believe i now know what i was doing wrong-will try this after maintenance -click on bed and select back to character screen and hope that does it

Exiting the game completely works too. For the inn quest series that is three quests long, you have to first obtain the wanted notice, then log out in your bed in Ul'dah, get a cutscene, log out in your bed in Grid, get a cutscene, log out in your bed in LL and get the final cutscene.

I don't know the exact amount of time you need to be logged out for (I hear 30 minutes works) since I'd usually just do one quest per day after logging out for the night and logging in coming home from work and it'd appear for me.

I have a different problem related to this quest series. I've completed the six quests mentioned in the original post, but "Mysteries of the Red Moon" doesn't seem to be available. Is there a different level requirement for that quest?

20, I think?

Correct. You need to be level 20 to do "Mysteries of the Red Moon". That's pretty easy to get, though.

Once you're level 20, go talk to the Lalafell outside the Inn Rooms in Uldah, and you'll get the quest.
