Guide: Windurst Fame

[Guest]

This week Bastok is in 1st place. This is an excellent week for anyone needing Windurst fame to get it. If you have a friend to help with this it makes it go faster. Here is how.

Go to the Music Shop in Bastok Markets (K-10) and buy cornettes. I'm not quite sure how many it takes to get full fame but if you're starting at the lowest fame possible then it's going to take several trips. Once you have an inventory full you then go to Windurst.

Windurst Walls - Yoran-Oran (E-5) He will buy the cornettes from you. He buys them for nearly what you paid in Bastok. You won't lose a lot of gil getting fame this way. Again, it depends where your fame is at before you begin as to how much you'll be spending overall. If you have a helper then they can continue to send you the cornettes so you can jog back and forth to Yoran-Oran with your inventory full. Talk to him first, in order to flag the quest. Then begin to trade one at a time.

Checking your fame in Windurst:
Go to Windurst Waters. I wouldn't bother until you've delivered at least 100 cornettes to Yoran-Oran.

Reasons to get Windy Fame:
So you can flag quests such as getting Fenrir, Diabolos, Ramhu and Ifrit avatars, Warp II (D2), Teleport-Mea, Aspir etc. You also will have a higher sell/buy price when your fame is up. If you're a crafter in the Windy region, this will be a big help to you. (Culinary, Bone, Cloth, Goldsmith (Mhaura), Blacksmith (Mhaura).) You can also flag additional quests in Kazham and Mharua with higher fame since they are connected directly to the nation of Windurst.

A full guide to fame can be found here. http://ffxi.somepage.com/fame.php Oddly enough they don't mention this method, and it's the easiest to do. Most likely because it requires Bastok to be in 1st place as it is now. You can do this if Bastok is in 2nd place but the price difference goes up. If Bastok is in last place they do not sell cornettes.

Happy Fame Hunting!
