Our decision has been made. But before we announce it, we have a little unfinished business in Limsa Lominsa. We traveled to all three major city-states to acquire some tools, and now it is time to give them to Jandelaine. While a bit over-dramatic, it is discovered that he is not a serial killer prowling the streets of Limsa Lominsa, but actually the aesthetician. We knew this, but nobody else did. After giving a makeover to the Lalafell woman whom he "accosted", he thanks us and promises that we have priority front of the line privileges for any makeover desires we have. This is due to listening to him, and believing in him when nobody else would. With that finally out of the way, we return to Vesper Bay.
We are joining the Maelstrom. We head back to Minfilia and to our guests to inform them of our decision. Once we arrive, and make our decision, we are immediately sent back to Limsa Lominsa to the headquarters of the Maelstrom. This back and forth trip makes me think that perhaps we made a mistake in our choice, but we should be fine. We will just have to manipulate our favored destinations for teleports and maybe even our home location. We don't really know how many trips will be required though, so for now we just set Limsa Lominsa as a favored destination rather than our home location. We still have our class quests in Gridania, so we don't want to give up that home location just yet.
Upon reporting to Maelstrom HQ, prior to being able to be inducted into their ranks, an emergency occurs which demands our attention immediately. Apparently an airship has been shot down in La Noscean territory, and we need to see to it and any survivors. Our first trip into Lower La Noscea is rather uneventful, but the zone itself is rather large, and we are hoping for a faster way to travel soon. We begin by not heading to the crash landing zone, but instead the opposite direction to the Moraby Drydocks. We do this not only for a blue unlock quest in the area, but to attune to the aetheryte and pick up a chocobo porter location. This won't be much use to us now, but perhaps someday it will be. After unlocking the ability to do levequests in the area, we also pay a visit to the La Noscean adventurer housing in the Mist. This is the last of the three major city-states adventurer housing, and I have to say that I am a sucker for some beachfront property.
With all of this out of the way, it is finally time to see about this airship. Venturing north, we discover one of the engineers watching his ship, and a contingent of Garleans investigating it. Mistaking us for a possible spy, we await the arrival of our crewmates from the Maelstrom to arrive. Once they do, we set to taking out the Garleans, and securing the airship, while also saving the second engineer. While we wait for repairs to be made to the airship, I am sent back to Maelstrom HQ so that I may be inducted as an actual member of the Maelstrom.
After doing so, we are inundated with quests from the Maelstrom command, mostly to do with PvP. However, the most important, and most desired unlock comes in the form of our very own chocobo mount. This has us very excited at the prospect of being able to get around a bit quicker, since we tend to travel a bit. We also unlock the Crystalline Conflict and the Frontline PvP modes.
