Guild Tasks?

[Kurokikaze]

I think we should all stop arguing about something we will know for sure in 2 hours....

But its so fun...

[dev1055] Guild tasks have been added.
By examining the new task boards found within any Adventurers' Guild, players may view and undertake the tasks of Eorzea's guilds.

Translation - The board in the Adventurer's guild will be full of fun tasks in the service of Eorzea's many Disciples Guilds.

Obtaining and delivering the requested items will yield both rewards and skill points (awarded to the active class at time of completion).

Collect stuff (hopefully in an undefined fashion) and deliver it (probably to the guild sponsoring the task - which encourages us to visit all cities). "Completion" not clearly defined...is it when I've collected 8 quest items? Or when I turn them in...?

* Players may complete a maximum of one task per guild per day (Earth time, resetting daily at 6:00 p.m. PDT/1:00 a.m. GMT).

Since this is actually separated by a full space/blank line in the text we have no idea what the word "guild" refers to. It is a separate paragraph from the prior two sentences and hence impossible to tie back, at least in the English translation.

There isn't a guild for shield, so no I dont think.

Well by golly, we need a shield guild!!!!

Actually if you think about it there may be more than 19, unless people counted the Musketeers guild and the Archanists guild.

Stay in class. It couldn't have been written more clearly. Its 19 guilds, i.e., 19 quests per day, quote me on it if you'd like after the patch goes live.

I hope you don't think I'm disagreeing with you, because I'm not. Sorry if it came off that way, haha. I'm leaning heavily towards them referring to the 18 guilds as well; I just wish people wouldn't start trying to get defensive about it when nobody really knows with 100% certainty, despite what common sense and basic understanding of the English language suggest.

I know, I edited that post :P

Ah, sorry! I'm writing this from work, and had already started replying to you before you had edited it. ^^;

"By examining the notice boards in the various city-states, one can undertake the posted tasks for the various guilds."

Yes, you have a choice of tasks from the 19 guilds but you can only pick one. I'm sticking with 1 task per city per day. lol

[KaMuiSouZou]

it can be one guild per city a day (3 a day, one from each city), all guilds from any city a day (18 a day from any city), each city only posts from guilds within that city (~6 a day from each city), or any number from each city (lets say limsa offers 6 quests from the guilds in limsa, u can only pick 1, or they offer all 18 but you can only pick 8 like leves)

all we know is 1-you start the quest in the adventurer's guild board and 2-one guild per day, so it's impossible to do 2 gladiator quests in one day. but can you do gladiator/pugilist or glad/pugilist/miner in one day? it's possible. we only get one npc in each city to hand out battle leves, but it's not like we can only do one leve per city. we only have one adventurers guild board but it doesn't necessarily mean one a day, it could list options. now, it seems to me one quest a day, since you can do each quest in any class "awarded to the active class at time of completion" but noone knows for sure, the description can be interpreted a number of ways.

has anyone considered that the guilds will prob request items that you need to craft.... in which case you'll -have- to go to ul'dah because -no one- sells things in the wards in grid or limsa?

[Reika]

I think there will be several tasks listed from each guild, and you can pick one from each guild per day.

I hope they dont have Limsa guild tasks listed in Gridania tho. that would be...... silly.

Yeah, that's all these quests are going to be. Quests that lead you to buy items from the Market Wards of Ul'Dah.

Come on, get real here. SE isn't that dumb.

I hope they tie this in with the grand companies bit. Like how there were side tasks to help the war effort in campaign.
