CLASS STACKING! CLASS STACKING ! CLAST SACKING! STASS CLACKING!

Seriously though, the only decent part about this stronghold was the goobbues.

PLD, BRD, WAR, WAR, BLM, BLM, WHM, WHM

We used 5/7 classes, so I think we're good! XD

So good at the video game.

Do you need to have the max rank in your Grand Company to pick up these quests? My friend and I can't pick them up and can't get an answer to why, but we're thinking it's because we have a few more promotions to do.

[Skies]

I think that first sergeant is enough for the first quest, Kowen. Not sure on this particular one

[Kowen]

Thanks for the reply.

I just promoted to Sergeant First Class and still can't seem to pick it up, so I'm thinking you do need Chief Sergeant rank.

Hmmm, I picked up the very first one as a Sergeant First Class, though I got a promotion almost immediately after.

Have you finished the main storyline? Gaius Van Baelsar acts like he's seen you before in the cutscenes, and the only time you encounter him in earnest is during the last main storyline mission.

Im having the same Problem.. im highest Rank, did the Main-Story as far as it goes. I dont get the Quests for Stronghold and also not the ones for the Caravans.

The only Quest i've not done is the Mini-Garuda and Taming the Tempest, so i would think at least the Mini-Garuda is needed since a couple friends did it without having Taming Tempest, but all had the Mini-One.

Would have been nice, if SE would have mentioned anything about requirements.

Mini Garuda IS required. The quests are sequential. There's even a little snippet from one of the NPCs that notes you defeated TWO primals. (mini Ifrit and mini Garuda)

Just did this with:

BRD WAR WAR WHM WHM DRG DRG DRG

Split the group up before the fight, assign DD on each tower. 1 tank on the main, the rest on the middle. Call out when adds spawn and have preassigned to 2 people to take them out.
If someone gets hate, kite the outside circle. Communicate your status (if you have hate, generator repop. add repop etc)

Super fun fight.
