Hi there!
I think there might be an issue with the BST quest "Path of the Beastmaster" not having priority over one of the other Brutus' quests (in this case, "Chocobo's Wounds")...or maybe it's just me being bugged, who knows.


I successfully completed the required quest "Save My Son" (I have the beast whistle) and my character is 30+, but when I went to talk with Brutus, instead of getting the correct quest, I got the Chocobo raising cutscene (got the egg), and then, when I went to talk with Brutus once again, he just kept giving me the same text, no matter how many times I clicked.

Let me preface this by saying that I did complete the "Chocobo on the Loose!" quest, but I didn't complete the "Chocobo's Wounds" quest because it's very time-consuming, boring and unlocks a service that I don't really feel like I'll need in the near future anyway.

Here's a list of things I tried to trigger the BST quest:

- Zoning in and out;

- Waiting 1 in-game day before trying to talk with him again;

- Speaking with the kids at the stables (I read on the wiki that that's one way to "skip" the quest "Chocobo on the Loose" in case you trigger it but only want to talk to Brutus for the BST quest);

- Putting the chocobo egg in my mogsafe;

- Triggering the optional cutscene in the "Save my Son" quest;

- Spam-clicking him 12+ times

None of that worked, sadly...I did however decide to start tackling the "Chocobo's Wounds" quest both for the Chocobo's license and my "theory" of the quest having priority right now;
Surprise surprise, after I tried feeding the 1st grass to the chocobo (failing), Brutus changed his dialog text, which clearly means that the "Chocobo's Wounds" quest IS actually taking priority over the "Path of the Beastmaster" quest!
Now, I don't know if this is intended or not, but by reading both the official FFXI wiki and the NasWiki, the only requirements for the BST quest to unlock the job should be:

- "Save my Son" quest completed;

- Character level 30+


Needless to say, I did both and here I am...forced to do the wounds quest for no reason, when I just wanted to start my BST.
Help please, and thanks in advance.

You didn't tell me in naschat that you didn't complete "Chocobo's Wounds". Go do that. You will need chocobos.

Chocobo Wounds also isn't that time consuming. IIRC, you just need to zone between feeds here. Not wait the in game time.

You do need to wait. 1 real time hour aka game day
