50-60 Jobs quests [3.0 spoilers]

[Dualblade]

Dragoon time!

Kinda like some of the other quests you take on a pupil, Heustienne (Who is a good Dragoon from what Alberic says), and begin by taking her out on a hunt to start off her training. She notes that, not only are you a better Dragoon as the Azure Dragoon, but the fact that you fight so many different kinds of enemies has givin you a different style from Dragoons in general, making you much better ovefrall then just dragon-slaying. This battle also leads to you learning Battle Litany. Shortly after you also meet her father, who of coruse worries for her.

From there the dragon Graolly attacks, with you and your pupil going off to repel its horde. When it attempts to retreat Heustienne jumps on its back and gets carried away with you unable to make chase. Eventually you and Alberic are able to track her down, only to learn a horrible truth: She was forced off the creatures back practically into the waiting arms of Heritics, who forced her to drink dragon's blood. It will only be a matter of time before she herself succombs.

However she will not submit easily. While initially trying to go it alone for fear of hurting others on her quest to end Graolly before she is turned you eventually join her fully right as the battle is about to begin. It plays out somewhat like the Stone Vigil and, if I remember right, the Snowcloak bosses with certain mechanics even. Ultimely however not only do you vanquish the foe, but Heustienne is able to keep control! Her father and Alberic are of course over joyed...and at this point I forget if she still doesn't return to Ishgard or not, but she does still have ALberic, her father's and your own support. Mayhaps we shall see what holds for her next xpac.

To expand on the Dragoon stuff, Heustienne is the 2nd in command of the Dragoons; she was Estinien's rival during training growing up until he was chosen as the next Azure Dragoon, so she's 3rd best of the Dragoons (after you and Estinien).

At the end of it she still can't return to Ishgard, but she swears on her lance (which was a family heirloom of her adopted father's) to take control of the dragon's blood forced upon her to empower her in a similar way to your connection to the Eye empowers you, without letting it control her, and will use that to hunt down Ishgard's enemies.

Also a note if you talk to Sid after the level 60 quest the WOL says he should train Rielle and put her on the "path". Sid is unsure and will talk to her about it, considering the events of the 60 quest I suspect she is going to say yes. Still I don't know what my WOL is thinking considering if you become a dark knight your life is going to suck.

Well, yes, but I was just explaining the storyline.

I also left out the part where the moogles pretend to kidnap Rielle and you engage in a playfight with them, playing out similar to Mogglesguard phase of the King Moggle fight, to get her back. This was, of course, intended to get Sidurgu to realize what "the flame in the abyss" is - it's love. Aww...

Scholar: Surito Carito(so?) Is a tonberry that explained what happened at 50 to Nym. Lost traders at sea miraculously came home with a gift that contained a voidsent. Suspected trick of Mhachi magi.

Your job is find the keystones to help him seal in the sick that are falling to rancor again, and help defeat the voidsent before it makes everyone a tonberry, reviving the Nymian Marines.

These lost sailors ran aground on an island, and were nursed back to health by lalafells. Then they were given the urn that contained the plague-spreading voidsent by agents of Mhach. The urn was given to the royal family of Nym, who unknowingly opened it. This is how the plague "came from the sea"...
When you are searching for the missing voidsent, you find out that Scholars were on the battlefield with marauders, and are part of the Royal Marines. You get trained by the head drill sergeant from that time.

Lily is the only thing that can detect where that voidsent was hiding when you rediscover it, and you are able to use Leeches to cure the plague before it turned the marauders into tonberries.

Essentially this suggests that Mhach is probably the precursor to Bela'diah. Also, it seems that the Mhach "won" the war of the magi

Adding onto BARD, the Ballad of Oblivion actually did exist though not as they expected, it was actually a Siren that was sealed for massacring moogles so you and Bard party + the lancer take her down

[Viar]

Yeah but he had an excuse, PTSD from getting his friends murdered.
These two were just....................

Level 52 cutscene was worth babysitting them. Mentor's PTSD was just... ugh.
