    Can't start "An officer and the wise man"

    I am not sure why this is happening, but when I click on the An officer and the wise man quest I get the text from the NPC, but it does not get added to my journal. Anyone know why? I should be able to get the quest, I have done all the prerequisites
    and it shows up on my list of options when I talk to the NPC. I also do not think it would be a problem on my end.... I can start any other quest that comes up from any other NPCs.

    I don't know about this one quest, but for Ul'dah Grand Company, the Immortal Flames, the quest "Burning Man" would show up in the list. But when I selected it, NPC only talked to me, not giving quest. I was puzzled for a whole day before I realized I still had "The Mail Must Get Through" from Gridania and "Engineering Victory" from Limsa to finish.

    If your problem is the same as mine, this information might help.

    The NPC dialogue when I tried to pick "Burning Man" would be something like "I suggest go visit the other 2 grand companies and learn about their policies....etc."

    After finishing those 2 "initiation" quests, I returned and could take Burning Man quest with no problem.

    Politicians are a lot like diapers - they should be changed often and for the same reason.
