Talk:Seekers of Adoulin Mission 5-5-1

Shouldn't the follow-up quest be The Curious Case of Melvien (which was apparently introduced in the January 15 update, but is apparently not linked from the corresponding update page or any other, for some reason)? That one is pretty much about the events of the end of SoA missions. It's also a pre-prerequisite for The Ygnas Directive, which requires A Thirst Before Time, which also requires the Melvien quest. Not to mention none of them is an actual mission. Loona (talk) 20:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

It could be a "==Related Links==" at the bottom of the page, but Ygnas Directive requires SoA missions being completed, and Melvin does not. --Spicyryan (talk) 20:29, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Not exactly, as The Curious Case of Melvien can be done at any point after he is killed. (which happens in Rosulatia's Promise, roughly halfway through Chapter 4 and the first big "end point" in SoA)
As for why The Ygnas Directive is linked from the final mission is because all FFXI missions end in a series of quests as such:

Expansion	Epilogue Quest(s)	Rewards
Rise of the Zilart	Storms of Fate Shadows of the Departed Apocalypse Nigh	Second line of Ark Angel earrings
Chains of Promathia
Treasures of Aht Urhgan	Waking the Colossus & Divine Interference The Rider Cometh & Unwavering Resolve & A Stygian Pact	Alexander and Odin summons and gear
Wings of the Goddess	Champion of the Dawn & The Dawn Also Rises A Forbidden Reunion	Cait Sith summon and gear, Atomos summon and Lilisette Trust
Seekers of Adoulin	The Ygnas Directive 1~??? (There will likely be more as Balamor said in Rhapsodies that he'll likely show up again, and the new RoE quests ended with "for now there's nothing, but come back again".)	Delegate's Cuffs and Delegate's Garb

And since The Ygnas Directive requires a Golden shovel cordon, as well as the completion of SoA missions, it's the beginning of the new epilogue questline for SoA. -- FaeQueenCory (talk) 20:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Fair enough, but then shouldn't Rosulatia's Promise be listed as a prerequisite for the Melvien quest? Currently it only mentions the Monstruosity stuff. Loona (talk) 21:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, though it's The Lightsland mission that is the prerequisite. (I dunno why the Melvien quest didn't have that listed as a prereq.) But it does now, so everything should be good. d(0u0o) -- FaeQueenCory (talk) 22:11, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
