Remember Noah?

[LystAP]

All requirements except actually doing the quest where we first meet her. It's a short quest, but one that I think delivers too much critical information to wave over if you want to involve her in the plot specifically because of we learn about her in that quest.

It could maybe be worked around if Raha can meet her separately now, provide most of the information and reduce our input to a simple "we've met" or "nice to meet you". But it would still be a little wobbly.

If I recall the quest basically consists of the questgiver telling you to look for Koh, and once you found Koh in the Toll, she basically reveals herself as Noah and starts her introduction. There's no chain or cutscene other than her introduction. Nothing that couldn't be given after the fact.

They also referenced her lute as well. Right in Shadowbringers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsopl8EcOlk


They also went through the trouble of giving her that background snippet in the lorebook. But I guess we'll see.

It's one of those weird things that will probably always been hand-waved away for the sake of convenience. It was their first method of providing tomestone gear upgrade items through the 24 man raids and attached a vague reason for why the quest was taking place. I feel like there is a good reason why they stopped trying to find lore reasons for weekly lockouts and higher difficulty fights like extreme/savage.

I highly doubt that NPC will ever be used for anything again.

Noah will still be used to collect lovely relic 3.0 items required. SHE HAS A PURPOSE!!!
