What am i doing wrong in the Ixal quests?

[Alukah]

I have no issue hitting HQ with my mule on that synth, all DoH 50, unmelded gear that's been out since 2.0 (ilvl55 or lower everything)

Grats, too bad you can't do it on a lvl 16 and keep saying the same.

And to answer your previous statement, you are wrong, all other beast tribes can be done easily by characters of the same level as the quest, all other ixal quests can also be done by characters of the same level of the quest, all BUT this quest.

It's clear that this rank is for crafter's with ALL cross abilities and melded gear. You can just get more mats and try again though. If it's that frustrating use the lower ranked quests to gain rep instead.

Do you use cross class skills?
Try it if you dont have all DoH at 50...

I use CRP (the only DoH job I have gear for, got it specifically for the Ulli look) and the only cross class skill I use is Steady Hand II.

And to answer your previous statement, you are wrong, all other beast tribes can be done easily by characters of the same level as the quest

Not if your gear is well below your level and you don't know how to play the job, unless you do it in a party and have the other person do it for you.

There are plenty of other quests you can take if this one is to hard for you. I am glad that the VERY END of a long beast tribe quest chain actually has something that provides a small challenge. Its sad that people are so spoiled with easy things in this game that when there is a hint of challenge they come cry on the forums. Smh.

The synth is lvl 16 so that you can easly do it, given the restrictions, at lvl 50. Your craft is lvl 39, all previous beastman quest are for lvl 43. 46. 48, and 50. So if you look at that way, rank 6 should be as hard as a 1 star item. If your crafter isn't high enough to do the lvl 6 quest, then you can't do it, and thats not a problem, why? Because you can still do all the rank 5 and rank 4 quest with ease while you lvl up you main crafter. It's that simple SE lets you grab the quest at low lvls, and turn them in at low lvls, so that people who already had a crafter or 2 where not wasting the xp gained on a class that can't make any use of it.

...not on all servers materia are "cheap"... You kidding, or?

You could invest some time by spirit bonding and Converting to obtain materia. But then again I feel that the point of this thread boiled down to "why is SE introducing quests that I can't blow though regardless of my level... Yes I do see it as a "Reward" because I have earned my due and know how/what to do to make these quests easy. Much like any 110 player running T1-9 and posting comments about how hard it is when the player making those comments is seriously under geared and lacking experience. But I digress. (no I'm not kidding you or trying to troll. I chimed in as I felt these complaints are all unfounded)

Except that's now how this works. All the other quests correlate to the level necessary to complete. SE designed it this way to get people to start crafting. The Ixali beast tribe quests are nothing more than advertising for crafting. The rank 1 quests with rank 1 items can be done by level 1 DoH classes. The level 3 items can be done by level 3 classes. Hell even the level 15 items can be done by level 15 classes. And, for the most part, the level 16 items can be done by a level 16 DoH class. The ONLY discrepancy are the two quests, "A High Wind in Ishgard" and "In Case of Emergency." It would be a different story of all level 16 items were equally difficult to do, but that's not the case.

Given all this grouped together, it's more than likely that these quests are bugged and that their Quality level is much higher than anticipated.

Not really. There's variance to the amount of Progess and Quality for each item. Some of them only need 30 Progress, others need 200-ish. Quality just happens to be the tougher one to raise without cross-class skills. Honestly, I think it's nice that they can be turned in on such low level classes so that people that don't have all the DoH maxed can give their low level ones a boost. People that don't have ANY crafters maxed out and are struggling with this might be better served doing the lower level quests until they level up a bit more. *shrugs*

I'm not commenting on whether "A High Wind in Ishgard" is broken or not. I'm just going to tell you what you can do to work around it:

At rank 6, the most reputation you can get per day is 207 (3 x 35 + 2 x 29 + 50). It's 1320 rep to rank up. This should take 7 days to finish. If you skip "A High Wind in Ishgard" and take a rank 5 quest instead, then you lose out on 6 rep. Even if you have to skip it EVERY day, you'll still finish in 7 days.

If that quest is so frustrating, just skip it and take a rank 5. It won't make any difference.

But its such a better idea to make a post complaining for no reason because "it's hard for me".
