Walkthrough
- Baren-Moren, in the Hat shop (South Windurst Waters), wants you to show off the New Model Hat. Accept the offer and then go around and talk to the NPCs in Windurst Waters. The following NPCs say special things when you talk to them during this quest:
- Bondada at the hat shop (after you talk to a certain number of people)
- After you have talked to a certain number of NPCs, Bondada agrees to buy a hat when you talk to her again. This does not mean that you have earned the maximum reward, however.
- Honoi-Gomoi at Windurst Waters, South (E-7), he is in a 2-story building you must go behind and climb up the ramp to get to.
- Kenapa-Keppa at the Rhinostery, Windurst Waters, South (J-9).
- Clais near the Rarab's Tail, Windurst Waters, North (G-10).
- Kyume-Romeh in the Timbre Timbers Tavern, Windurst Waters, North (F-10).
- Tosuka-Porika in the east Optistery building, Windurst Waters, North (G-8).
- Pechiru-Mashiru in the east Aurastery building, Windurst Waters, North (L-6).
- Machitata near the residence area, Windurst Waters, North (L-11).
- Bondada at the hat shop (after you talk to a certain number of people)
- You must talk to a certain number of NPCs in order to complete this quest with the maximum reward. It is unknown how many are required, but talking to all NPCs in Windurst Waters works. The eight listed above may be mandatory but are not enough by themselves to give you any reward from the quest.
- Don't leave Windurst Waters before you finish.
- Warning: If you haven't yet begun Babban Ny Mheillea, do NOT talk to Khoto Rokkorah during this quest. Doing so causes you to fail this quest. The resulting cutscene technically zones you to West Sarutabaruta and back, which counts as leaving Windurst Waters.
- The more NPCs you talk to, the greater your final reward, up to a maximum of 400 gil and a Windshear Hat.
- Talking to 133 NPCs in Windurst Waters gives the maximum reward.
- To finish the quest talk to Baren-Moren and choose "Hang up your hat" to get your reward.
Notes
- As of May 2012, the Windshear Hat is available for purchase at the Hat Shop from Orez-Ebrez even if you have not accepted/completed this quest.
- Lure of the Wildcat (Windurst) takes precedence over this quest. If you receive a message about your
Green Sentinel Badge flashing, talk to that NPC again to receive the message about the New Model Hat. - Nearly all NPCs in Windurst Waters work for this quest. A few, however, do not.
- To save some time, do not talk to Synergy NPCs, Voidwatch-related NPCs, seasonal event NPCs, Rarab NPCs, or the Moblin NPC. Avoiding these NPCs leaves only a few that do not count for the quest.
