A Chocobo's Tale

This is one of the cutest, most romantic quests in all of Final Fantasy XI; involving chocobos! You won't be able to get this quest until you've started Chains of Promathia's Chapter 3. Once you have, speak with Nevela (G-7) in Upper Jeuno. Next, travel to Bastok Mines and talk to Wobke (I-9) in the Chocobo stables.

Now, head to the Outpost (K-6) in Pashhow Marshlands. When you get there, examine the "Outpost Gate" to enter a cutscene.

Here's where the fun begins. You'll need to get three Warding Oils from Emerald Quadavs (Lv.45-49) in Beadeaux or Castle Zvahl. The drop rate on these oils is borderline crappy. Being a Thief with Treasure Hunter II, I was only getting 1 oil for every 15-20 Emerald Quadav. Once you've obtained three oils, head back to the Outpost in Pashhow Marshlands.

Trade the three Warding Oil to the "Outpost Gate" for another cutscene. Once this is over, head back to Bastok Mines to speak again with Wobke.

Now, you'll need to head to Batallia Downs. Examine a ??? on a headstone at location (H-6). This will spawn 5 NM tigers called Badshah. Even at 75, these are pretty difficult to solo without Sleep or Utsusemi.

Once they've been defeated, re-examine the ??? to get the key item: Silver Comet's collar.

Return to Upper Jeuno and speak again with Nevela. This will trigger another cute cutscene and the quest will end.

Reward: 5200 gil
