Uhm, no - none of the guildhests are required for anything at all (excepting unlocking other guildhests of course.) AFAIK you can go through the entire game and do everything else in it without ever doing a single guildhest.



There is one -- Hest of the Best is a main scenario quest that requires doing the turtle guildhest.
Not saying the OP is right in their actions, but just clarifying that one does, indeed, have to do the turtle before getting access to Heavensward.
Oh. Well nevermind me then.The Guildhest quests were removed from the game sometime, probably during Heavensward. Now the main story asks you to kill some monsters in Mor Dhona instead.

If someone wins an argument, they have learned nothing.
FOR DOCKHAND!



Lv50 MSQ from the patches between AAR and Heavensward 2.1 "Seventh Astral Era Main Scenario Quests" you'll see "Hest of the Best" which requires you to do "Hero on the half shell".
This is a requirement to get to ishgard, and a requirement to unlock DRK.
Ive seen my share of groups have just 1 person keep fighting the turtle, and its extremely easy for the to solo it till its dead, before it's put to sleep.
(Usually the person is undergeared)

Edit: This page says it was 3.1 I've been through the Astral Era stuff recently on an alt so I can confirm you get the Malboro quest instead.

Interesting, as my journal still has the Hero in a halfshell requirement listed.The Guildhest quests were removed from the game sometime, probably during Heavensward. Now the main story asks you to kill some monsters in Mor Dhona instead.

Last time I did it was on my alt, though idk if I did it in 3.0 or 3.1.
EDIT: the very next MSQ required me to do "More than a Feeler", so it wouldnt have been replaced, so much as straight up removed if this is true.
(Though it would require having done Hero in a halfshell to unlock it at least at SOME point before unlocking DRK)
EDIT of an edit: I mistook the marbol quest being more than feeler, so the edit is incorrect.

Yup, Eva here still has the old Guildhest quests in her Journal.Interesting, as my journal still has the Hero in a halfshell requirement listed.

(Though it would require having done Hero in a halfshell to unlock it at least at SOME point before unlocking DRK)
"Hest of the Best"" (Turtle Guildhest) and Pass the Smell Hest" (More than a Feeler) were replaced with "Welcome to Morbol Country" (kill malboros in Mor Dhona) and "Answering the Call" (kill hapalits in Mor Dhona) which is what I got on my alts.
New Characters can ignore Guildhests entirely unless you want to do them for exp or unlocking Mentor Roulette.

That's old info - those quests have been changed and no guildhests are required any more.Lv50 MSQ from the patches between AAR and Heavensward 2.1 "Seventh Astral Era Main Scenario Quests" you'll see "Hest of the Best" which requires you to do "Hero on the half shell".

Getting through "More than a Feeler" used to be required for progression. That was long before Heavensward came out.
