How do you get bloodsworn?

[kwsapphire]

I am Sworn with Ananta and Kojin. I want to try to get bloodsworn with the Kojin. All the guides say I need to pick up the True-blue quest from Kabuto, but he doesn't offer me a quest.

I have finished the MSQ up through the current patch. Are there other side quests that I need to do before True-blue becomes available? Do I need to unlock the Namazu and/or get to a certain rank with them?

Do I need to unlock the Namazu and/or get to a certain rank with them?

Yes.
To become Bloodsworn with the Stormblood beast Tribes you need to raise all of them to max rank.
Then there is an extra quest to do and you become bloodsworn with all of them.

No, Bloodsworn is rank 8. Fill the rank 7 bar to max, then do the single tribe-specific quest nearby.

Rank 9 "Allied" requires you to get rank 8 in all three beast tribes, then do a unified beast tribe quest, after which all three will simultaneously go up to 9.

Is it?
Some of them are a little different OP, so if my info isn't relevant to Stormblood I apologize.

Unfortunately, I can't fill the bar! I am no longer offered daily quests from either the Anata or the Kojin. I can't fill the Sworn bar to get to bloodsworn because that requires me to pick up the True-blue quest, which is not currently offered. So as far as I can tell, there must be some requirement that I have not met.

I understand that Allied requires getting to max rank with all of the beast tribes in an area. That's not what I'm going for, though maybe I will have to end up there to get the manta ray mount?

I don't understand why this is so confusing. It should, in my opinion, be cut and dry. Do these quests, get the achievement/title/rank/whatever. But no, there's no explanation as to why the quest I'm supposed to just be able to pick up is NOT THERE.

This game makes me feel really dumb sometimes. >_>

Don't you have to do the ARR tribes, and the HW tribes, before you can do the StB tribes?

Nope. You can do the beast tribe quests of any expansion in any order you want. I did Namazu before I started any HW beast tribes.

StB

I don't know if Stadowbringers was the expansion title.

Are you absolutely sure that you can reach bloodsworn on the namazu before doing ANY of the ARR tribes? I'm pretty sure the plot they lay out with the allied quests really wouldn't make sence if you could just start in the middle.
