Oh, you.
...I finally found some people to do the WOTG mission I was stuck on, and since then have been speeding through them to the next set of nation quests, which I'm in the middle of doing (not checked if I can do them solo though).

Some of these quests I REALLY despise, not because of the story or difficulty or anything, but because some of them are fucking tedious, for example, Beneath the Mask goes something like this:
> Talk to guy in Bastok
> Go to Beadeaux
> Warp back to own nation, warp to Gustaberg and walk to Bastok again
> Go to the Eldieme Necropolis, talk to guy
> Said guy has forgotten some seal, you need to obtain some items to make a new one.
> Trip to Whitegate/Jeuno auction house to obtain said items
> Go to Vunkerl inlet to make seal from items
> Go back to the useless fuckwit in the Eldieme Necropolis
> Return to Bastok again
> Go to Beaucedine Glacier
> Wonder where the last hour of your life went
Another fun example is the Windurst quest I'm on, which is supposed to be a battlefield fight. Except it would be too straightforward to have me go to X zone and press Y button to initiate the fight. No, I've got to go to king's room of each beastman stronhold in the present to get three key items before I can do the fight. I'd be fine with them drawing out shit for the sake of it just to make you go and use old areas, it's cool to go there once in a while, but I have other shit to do and I only live so long, do I really have to keep doing this shit for every quest?

Am not impressed.
One good thing came out of these quests though; I encountered a JP group doing Shoggoth and they let me tag along

I got 4 kills over 1 and a half hours at most. Is good.
Later, I saw someone shouting for it, so I joined against my better judgement as they'd been shouting for a good 30 min with no success and they were failing to correctly spell VNM.

By some miracle we managed 2 kills over the space of 4/5 hours when I finally went to bed at 1am :\
(I must admit though, the 2nd kill was mainly done by 3 BSTs, and it was relatively painless)

So 6 Farruca Fly Kills to go and I'm done with this ordeal.
