cant get to next part in the msq

[Iscah]

...so I went to rising stones and minfila didn't have quest and thancard was drunk and had no quest.

Because of the way quests are programmed, only the version of the characters at the Waking Sands will have the quest, even if they aren't supposed to be there any more.

"Waking Sands Minfilia" probably vanishes after you've done her part of the quest and spoken to the other Scions in the main room.

Things you should check to work out your next step:

First and most importantly, have you unlocked any of the battles yet? Ifrit first, then Garuda, then Titan.

Is there a half-finished quest in your journal?

If you can't find a quest, you probably need to fight one of the primals before the next quest becomes available to you.

The overall flow of the quests is:

1. Talk to Thancred for the quest "Ifrit bleeds, we can kill it"
2. Visit the Immortal Flames HQ in Ul'dah
3. Find the aetheryte in Zahar'ak in southern Thanalan (quest complete)
4. Fight Ifrit

5. Talk to Papalymo for the quest "In for Garuda Awakening"
6. Visit Twin Adders HQ in Gridania
7. Find the aetheryte at Natalan in Coerthas (quest complete)
8. Fight Garuda

9. Talk to Y'shtola for the quest "In a Titan Spot"
10. Visit Maelstrom HQ in Limsa
11. Find the aetheryte in the U'ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea
12. Fight Titan
