IIRC, there are two ARR side quests that reward thavnairian onions, which are used to level your chocobo, or (perhaps more importantly) sold for a lot of gil on the market
I believe those are Heavensward quests. I plan to do a Heavenward version of Side Quests worth doing. So I'll make sure to include those quests as well. Thanks for keeping an eye out.
Landing a Stable Job from Mathye in the Pillars (after msq "The Better Half"), and one in Tailfeather after a bunch of Tailfeather side quests called A Hunter's True Nature from Hervoix. By this point you're almost better off just making the gil and buying onions, or buying seeds and babysitting them every 6h or so in apartment flower pots.
I get that most prefer these were blue, but I always liked the feeling of stumbling on a side quest while trying to get some XP that went a bit extra and gave me a pleasant surprise. Feels like how side quests in other games worked where some lead you on a wild chase and surprise you with something crazy instead of marking "HEY THIS IS THE ONE WHERE YOU GET SOMETHING SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE"
I do sort of resent the blue quest system because it basically means there's tonnes of pretty good writing that lots of people will never see just because we're trained so hard to see "yellow quest = not worth doing". There's a whole questline in the Convictory in Western Coerthas that's really good and which I only stumbled upon because you have to do it to unlock the only way consistent to get the Deepeye Triple Triad card.
I remember doing the postmoogle quest at some time in the past long ago. The part where you get the "new class" went right over my head since I hadn't unlocked any new classes. I realized like years later what the joke was supposed to be
The thing is, if you _want_ to do all the sidequests, just do them. They fill out the world so much more and they'll make you feel really connected to the characters and people of the place you're visiting, and the main questline reflects this surprisingly often.
Yep I started taking this approach later on after following everyone’s advice to ignore all side quests up until the end of heavensward and feeing like I rushed it a bit. Now, during the story, if I’m interested in the area that I’m currently in I do all the side quests. It really does flesh it out so much more and increased my enjoyment and connection to the environments.
@@ogrimbothesour2976 Yes, but IIRC Azim Steppe also has the most side quests (blue and yellow) of any zone in the game by like 50+ quests or something. It's a doozy to get into and do them all.
I like how you'd rather wait for someone to maybe make a video instead of just going and playing the game. Your commitment to being spoon fed is legendary
@@Splizacular Spending hundreds if not thousands of hours doing pointless side quest that offer no actual rewards is not something im looking to do i dont have time for that. doing quest i know give me rewards is what i have time for so yes i would like to not waste what little time i have. not all of us live in our moms basement playing 24/7.
Wow thanks man. That's some old content digging. You really took one for the team! Gonna rewatch to determine which I wanna do first. Think I wanna get those guns for my magitech armor.
As a completionist, I did them all. Really expected some achievement, like Loremaster in WOW. Fact that I didn't still give me that horrible feeling of having missed one somewhere, somehow. (to forestall the inevitable: yes, I did THAT one, the one hidden inside the mansion of youknowwho for youknowwhat)
I compulsively clear all quest icons I see. I can't help it. I DID however... sell all my materia before I knew better lol Doing my craft quests, I am now at the mercy of the market board lol Post Moogle is on my list, and I'm clearing all the extreme trials I come by. Definitely want the mounts now though. Also never knew the card game was in! Definitely have to track that down! Loved the nostalgia trip of just hearing that music though :')
Can't believe I recently hit 1K hours in this game and knew NOTHING from this video, now imma go get the postman title and hat when the game is up again! Thank you foe the video Ojosama!!
Thanks for the followup about the Postmaster questline. I was rather nonplussed when I returned to Limsa and founf the Moogle gone or at least not visible to me. I thought it was a glitch. Nice to know there's more to it, though it would have been nice if SE had given a clue about it. I will add that the followup quest involves weakening a level 29 spark, so if your job is higher than that you will one shot it and won't be able to complete the quest. Hopefully you will have a job that is at or below level 29.
Would a BLU's 1000 Needles do the trick for this, since you can deal either 1000, 500, 333, 250, 200, 167, 142, 125, 111, or 100 damage? (1000/x, x = number of enemies in AoE)
I would add the following three quests, depending on your starting city Population Control (Gridania) The Rats in the Wharf (Limsa Lominsa) In the Name of Science (Ul'dah) This will reward you your very first head piece that will help you pass one of the early MSQ's that tells you to equip level 5 pieces to a couple of slots without having to go out of your way and buy it (and when you do your level 5 class quest, pick a different slot as your reward). Another one is "When a Man Loves a Woman", because its quest marker is very close to where the special Behemoth FATE spawns, so it makes checking the map for this FATE when you do something else in the zone a bit easier.
Brand new player on Xbox, here! I just hit 50 and am in the transition to Heavensward and am trying to clean up anything in ARR before pushing further. This was excellent! Thank you!
I started doing side quests when I had the idea to hoard all my Gil pieces until I got to heavensward… and WOW they actually provide so much Gil, in coerthas central highlands there’s nearly 70k Gil you get NOT including the pieces you receive, it’s a good money maker for the start of a character! It took me about a week to get through it all
I did a bunch of these on a character I played like 2 years ago and forgot about, then I never did them on my actual freaking main, so thanks for reminding me where they are!
I'm working on doing all the side quests on all the expansions. I don't know maybe it's the old MMO gamer in me, but I find doing them quite therapeutic.
On all 4 of my characters, I have done every side quest as I play because despite people saying I should save them for alt classes they are, in fact, bad for that as most take too much time for the exp rewarded and there are much more efficient methods. Plus, if you care that much, you should level classes as you play anyway. Which is also something I do. I like to have every class available to me be at at least level 50 before heavensward.
I never skipped side quests. Every bit of exp helped me level my multiple jobs. Also, I can't stand seeing the sea of markers mocking me every time I go back to an area.
huh, I never did the Godbert/goldsmith ring quest before and I've been playing since beta... hehe there really ARE just a ton of yellow quests in the world I've ignored...
I have NO regrets doing every side quest there is to find. It's because of going through them all I'd get my friends asking me "where did you get that?".
I'd done the postmoogle quests, but minions? Minions I don't have? Though it was actually the ring that caused me to pause the video and go get right away before continuing.
Well this is a nice video but don’t help me at all since I am crazy and did all the side quests in every expansion so unless there were more added with each patch.
Hildibrand are not side quests, they are featured quests as shown by their blue icon. As for featured quest here is my advice: th-cam.com/video/gKWu7hgXr0Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QSdT1VpRqpQWzwio&t=453
huh...am I the only mf that has a mental problem as unable to stand those yellow icons on the mini map? I DO SIDE QUESTS WITH MSQ DURING MY 1ST PLAYTROUGH, they give more immersion and lots of them complement MSQ.
Im right there with you...im doing my first play through and just like in any other RPG i HAVE to get all the quests done ill pick everything up in zonei hate having the icons pop up or notifications... i guess we're completionists
It broke my heart to find out that there where no more Post Moogle Quests after ARR. But also yes the fact that you can't replay them stinks as well especially when the cutscenes aren't in your Unending Journey. Which made capturing this all the more harder.
"The Greatest Story Never Told" if you like puzzles (there aren't any quest markers for it, you have to figure it out yourself; or cheat - shame on you).
@@ojosama there are few more quests like that in all expansion (at least 3 in HW - brooms in Matoya's cave; 1 in Yanxia in SB; I think 1 or 2 in ShB - Pixies and Amh Araeng?; 1? in EW in Old Sharlayan).
Quest(s) I missed will be pinned:

Ah yes, "yellow quests that should probably be blue"
if they don't unlock a system they shouldn't though
If you haven't done the Moogle deliveries side-questline, you'll never be able to truly comprehend the motherly warmth that Sisipu radiates.

Nice resource to have all the side quests in one spot. And here I was thinking side quests where only worth doing to help level Blue Mage.
always save side quests for blue mage. just in case.
I disagree. Blue Mages get extra XP from killing mobs, so it's more efficient to grind rather than do the quests.
@@Vengir extra Gil and exp never hurts
@@Raymond13557 I suppose not, but perhaps it's better to save them for other classes, or a future limited job, if they ever add another one.
@@Vengir What if the side quest involves killing mobs? Extra XP on top of that :P
Nice video, did the cat and dog quests. Didn’t know about the other ones. The moogle ones look pretty good. New sub.
