Carbuncle

Main Usage:

Carbuncle is great for meleeing due to its mana consumption (1-10 mana per tick depending on level).
Shining Ruby, which is similar to Protect and Shell and stacks with the white magic single Protect and Shell buff.
Glittering Ruby, for fun increasing random stats of the party when your Carbuncle is already out meleeing, but do not summon your Carbuncle just to buff this as it only lasts for a short time.
Healing ruby II, excellent party heal in an emergency because the carbuncle will have the heal aggro not the Summoner.
Pulling monsters, your Carbuncle (or any avatar) will only aggro monsters it attacks or casts an ability on, this means it cannot get sight, smell or sound aggro. So if you have many monsters in close range of each other, summon the Carbuncle and tell it to assault a monster, run back to party, release the carbuncle, and the monster it was attacking will come looking for you at the party without bringing any of the other monsters.
Mana Consumption: 1-10 mana per tic.

Increasing Fame

Each city has many quests, quests raise fame and are different from missions. You can do many quests and earn good rewards, which is advicable in all the cities, but there are faster ways to raise fame. Most quests you can only do once, but some of the quests you can repeat and still earn fame.

How many quests you will need to complete to raise fame:

Level 1 fame = 0-10 quests
Level 2 fame = 10-20 quests
Level 3 fame = 20-30 quests
Level 4 fame = 30-50 quests
Level 5 fame = 50-70 quests
Level 6 fame = 70-90 quests
Level 7 fame = 90-110 quests
Level 8 fame = 110-140 quests
Level 9 fame = 140+ quests

Fame Levels

There are nine levels of fame for each city, if you speak to the correct NPC for checking fame, the NPC will tell you how famous you are in that particular city. Some cities share fame and some cities fame is a measure of multiple fame of other cities.

City Fame Required:

San d'Oria (Selbina & Rabao are both on San d'Oria fame)
Bastok
Windurst (Kazham and Mhaura are both on Windurst fame)
Jeuno (Jeuno fame is based on the other cities fames)

*Note* Remember you can check fame for Rabao in San d'Oria, as well as Rabao, as they are all on the same fame.

*Note* You can check fame for Norg (Tensyodo fame) by the cost of 'Rice Balls' at Neptune's Spire Inn in lower Jeuno (J-7), 160 gil per 'Rice Ball' is about level seven fame and will allow you to get the fork.

When you speak to the NPC you will be given a sentence based on your fame, each city has a slightly different script, but the following scripts will give you a guide:
Fame Lv1
Unfortunately, I have never heard of your name before.
Fame Lv2
I wonder if I have heard of your name before...
Fame Lv3
I have heard of your name before.

Almost all people know you.

I may say no one is unfamiliar with your name.
Fame Lv9
You are the very hero for people in this kingdom. May the brightness of goddess be always with you.

Obtaining Avatars

All avatars except Carbuncle and Fenrir can be acquired using either of two methods; level twenty solo battles or level sixty-five plus advance party battles (Protocrystal Battle). For simplicity, the easy method for the lower levels will be discussed, but if you are of level sixty-five or higher you may want to acquire your avatars by the more advance high-level method (Protocrystal Battle).

Carbuncle and Fenrir

Carbuncle is the first avatar you will receive and Fenrir will most likely be the last one, this is because of how the avatar quests are set up.

Carbuncle

Your first avatar will be Carbuncle, and you will receive this avatar by completing the Ruby Quest that opens the Summoner advance job, available from the main menu.

Fenrir

Your last avatar will most likely be Fenrir, and you will receive this avatar by collecting all the elemental 'whispers' key items from each of the advance high-level Protocrystal battles; Garuda, Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Titan and Leviathan. I say most likely, as you can actually defeat prime avatars and just keep the whispers instead of getting the avatar pact, and go straight on to defeat Fenrir. This is of course unlikely, but very much possible.

Do not return to the prime avatar reward giving NPCs if you wish to keep the whispers for Fenrir.

You will need to be of high-level for this avatar and cannot aquire this avatar or 'whispers' from the level twenty solo battles.

Earth Whisper = Titan
Water Whisper = Leviathan
Wind Whisper = Garuda
Fire Whisper = Ifrit
Lighening Whisper = Ramuh
Ice Whisper = Shiva
Bring the 'whispers' (key items) to Leepe-Hoppe and he will give you a 'Moon Bauble' (key item). This will allow you to go into Full Moon Fountain and battle with Fenrir Prime, if you win the battle you will obtain the Fenrir avatar.

Fame (perquisite requirements for avatar quests)

The following information is in regard of the remaining six avatars, Garuda, Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Titan and Leviathan. At the stage you will already have your Carbuncle and are wishing to obtain additional avatars.

The first thing you require to start the quest to get additional avatars is 'fame', and yes it is a downtime, but your fame will be required for higher battles in the upper end of the game anyhow.

The high-level Protocrystal battles require level 7-8 fame, but the level twenty solo battles only require level 2-3 fame. The fame level is not precise, because it varies slightly from person to person, based on unidentified factors. So how do you raise your fame levels? Questing!

go ava, its your birthday lol smn's are awesome...thats what they are...many people under estimate them and dont invite the into pts......but thats another issue lol
