Tactics Pearl Quest

Walkthrough

 * Upon obtaining sufficient Adventuring Fellow Bond (35+ Fellow Bond), summon your fellow at a Rendezvous Point and select "Let's talk about quests" to receive an Emptiness Investigation Note.
 * Your fellow can only mention the Emptiness once per week, but will not mention it again until you have completed the quest.
 * You cannot call your fellow in Promyvion unless you have 33 points of bond, despite the fact that your NPC may mention this quest before you have 33 points of bond. The maximum bond is 30 until you finish the Past Reflections quest.
 * Enter Promyvion - Dem, Promyvion - Holla, or Promyvion - Mea. There is a Rendezvous Point close to the entrance. Check it, and after a brief cutscene, your fellow appears.
 * It is not necessary to have the Signal Pearl with you in Promyvion.
 * You have 45 minutes with your NPC to find a "???." There are a total of 5 ??? for this quest.
 * When you kill monsters in Promyvion, your NPC gets credit towards a quota of 30 monsters needed for the maximum EXP bonus of 1,200 EXP. Note that even Strays and monsters that are too weak count toward the kill quota.
 * After that, an additional bonus is determined by which how many ???s you examine.
 * If you check 1 ??? and then conclude the investigation, your NPC receives a maximum of 1,500 exp.
 * If you check 2 ??? and then conclude the investigation, your NPC receives a maximum of 2,400 exp.
 * If you check 3 ??? and then conclude the investigation, your NPC receives a maximum of 3,300 exp.
 * If you check 4 ??? and then conclude the investigation, your NPC receives a maximum of 4,800 exp.
 * If you travel to both possible third islands and check all 5 ???, your NPC receives a maximum of 5,700 exp.
 * To maximize experience points you must examine the ??? on each island and answer "Not yet.".


 * When you find each ??? and check it, you get the option to end or continue the investigation. If you choose to end it, you also have the option to warp back to the entrance of Promyvion. After that, your Fellow gets the experience points for the monsters you've killed, with a bonus added depending on the number of ??? you examined for the quest.
 * Return to a Rendezvous Point in any city and call your fellow to receive a Tactics Pearl, which allows you to summon your fellow every 10 minutes.
 * If you investigated to at least the second island, your fellow also gives you a food item based on his/her personality, as in the Mixed Signals quest (must have quest completed to receive food item).

Obtaining a new Tactics Pearl

 * You can only obtain one Tactics Pearl per Conquest Tally.
 * You must drop your old Tactics Pearl before you can get a new one. Dropping your Tactics Pearl does not lower your NPC affection.
 * You must speak to your fellow about quests to receive another Emptiness Investigation Note.
 * You must repeat the Promyvion miniquest.
 * If you fail the quest, it can be repeated after Japanese Midnight.
 * If Japanese Midnight passes after you've called your NPC at the Rendezvous Point in Promyvion and you were unable to finish, you must exit Promyvion and come back before calling your NPC at the Rendezvous Point again.
 * If you lose your connection you fail the quest; your fellow will be gone when you log back in.
 * If you enter the Spire of Dem/Holla/Mea on the final island, you fail the quest.
