The crazy adventures of Inspector Hildibrand

[DrWho2010]

The Scholasticate quests were boring and not terribly exciting so I can see why they had to go back to Hildy for the lols.

If you like Hildibrand, one of the characters that shows up in Hildy's adventures (Inspector Briardien) is involved in the Scholasaite quests in Ishgard, but those require you to have finished HW's storyline first (and are far more serious in tone than the irreverence of Hildibrand - it appears SE were planning on replacing Hildibrand's quests with the Scholasiate, but that never happened). Briardien also appears briefly during the initial set of cutscenes to unlock the Firmament reconstruction quests (where he hints at the Hildibrand quests insanity ).

Another quest line with humour a lot of the time are the Postmoogle quests as they go into the backgrounds of many npcs, and some are quite funny.

Wish they added more Postmoogle stuff, I loved those side quests a lot

Re: Postmoogle quests - just my take on it - they probably looked at the percentage of people that actually cleared off the sidequests that were required to actually run the Postmoogle quests and saw that amount was too low to bother putting more resources into making more.

I JUST started this line not long ago while picking up a bunch of unlock quests that i been passing up.. lol and it is quite silly. imagine being basically adopted by zombies lol..

I liked the ones I liked, but there were few/far between for me.

Like, I wish that there wasn't a chain of quests all at once, but maybe just certain ones open up with certain requirements to allow you to call back to older stories. Like get 70 CRP, and maybe one has you meet up with your old mentor. Or when you get some achievements.

I do like having some callbacks to what went on in the MSQ after the expansion is finished, but I would have preferred much more staggered "1 and done" kinda quests.

Totally agree, It was a bummer and wish they could have worked more and refined it

I just wanted to say I am enjoying this quest line emensely. I hope others do too. It reminds me of the old tv show 'Get Smart'. I had a few chuckles already. Nicely done SE!

Are there any other quest lines like this in game?

Miles Edgewor-er, Briardien gets his own line though it's not nearly as funny.

Last from the Devs is they are indeed planning to bring back Hildy in 6.0.

Also, there is a dungeon in 5.0 you have a chance to randomly see him. It's just an easter egg, but it's fun nonetheless. Not going to spoil it, but it's the last dungeon in the 5.x series on the First.

Happy inspecting, inspector!

I miss hildibrand quests so much ! I hope they will indeed bring him back !

The last Hildibrand quest was like "see you in shadowbringers" but... no hildinrand

He's planned to return in Endwalker, so your wait is almost over, friend

... Would you believe, three men in a rowboat?


I've been trying to put a finger on it, but yes, absolutely, Max.
