Question about Bastian quests

Enemoriana

Anybody finished Bastian quests and got him as houseguest?

Got and finished "Things Lost, Things Found". When should last, "Family Secrets" appear?
Mirri gave both quest just one after another, Bastian didn't. It works differently and I need to raise rapport more (2504 now), or something is bugged? Can't find any information about this.

I was wondering the same thing ^^

Same here

What rapport level are you at?
(you can use the Companion Info add-on to see it)
I think it's rapport based and it's either 2000 or 2500 rapport points.
Sorry, I did them back to back and didn't notice the level.

I don't know for sure, but I took a screenshot when it became available to me and I was at 2835. I was grinding Mage's Guild Dailies, getting +125 for each one, so I'd guess it's probably at 2800 when it triggers.

Screenshot here if interested:

@vailjohn_ESO, thanks!

@Sirona_Starr, @Lady_Galadhiel, it is 2750.

Good to know thanks 😊

By the way, how come every Bastion fellow this one sees has an arrow/quest mark on them? It’s like other companion Basties are taunting Sammy because this one’s own Bastie won’t give him the quest!

Did you have to do anything specific to trigger the "Things Lost Things Found" quest? I can't seem to get it started, assumed it was Rapport based? Or is it at a specific location to trigger it?

ectoplasmicninja

@Texecutioner187, what is your rapport with him? The first quest should trigger as soon as you hit the "friendly" rapport status in his companion menu page. You don't need to be anywhere specific, it pops once you get to the required rapport level. (Unless you're glitched somehow.)

I think currently I'm still "Cordial" but have been doing things he likes nonstop. Reading books every 15 min, scrying... Is their rapport really difficult to raise? I feel like all day I've been doing actions and the rapport hasn't moved.

You can use CompanionInfo addon to make progress more visible, if you play on PC.
Mages guild dailies raise it well (+125, when reading is +1, scry +5), ask somebody to share to do more than one a day.

ectoplasmicninja

Yes, it is really slow to raise. Those actions you've been doing increase rapport by 1 to 5 points for the most part, whereas a Mages Guild daily will increase it by 125. Even so you'll need to do quite a few of them to get his first quest. It's...a process. If you're game to grind it out, grab some folks, group up, and share your dailies back and forth so you can get a bunch of them done per day.

That's good information to know. Does Undaunted and Fighters Guild dailies also increase the rapport by 125?

ectoplasmicninja

No. Each companion has a favoured guild where they get the 125 rapport - Mages for Bastian and Fighters for Mirri. They both receive guild skill line XP from those dailies and Undaunted though, so still good to do them.

Texecutioner187

Is there a way to see numeric rapport or is this a PC thing?

ectoplasmicninja

Addon on PC only, I'm afraid. It was very imprecise before I found out that existed, but I only found out about it after I had already maxed Bastian's rapport. I know this sounds depressing, but by the time you've handed in 3 or 4 Mages Guild dailies you should at least notice the position of the indicator of the bar has changed. His rapport status goes from cordial to friendly to close to allied to companion - you get the first quest at friendly and I believe the second at close.

Texecutioner187

And it appears that companion rapport is unique to each toon on your account so you can't go doing Mages Guild dailies on multiple characters. very odd, I would have imagined that if the Companion is account-wide that the rapport would be too

Texecutioner187

Are there any other large value Rapport increased for Bastian besides Mages Guild dailies?

ectoplasmicninja

Companion rapport is unique to each of your characters, yes. You can do Mages Guild dailies on multiple characters which will increase all of their rapport with him as well as help level his Mages Guild skill line globally. You can also do many Mages Guild dailies on your main character to increase their rapport more. You can do 15 of them per day per character if you're really dedicated.

Pick up yours, which may be in Rivenspire, do it, turn it in. Ask zone chat or guild for share. Someone with a Mages Guild daily in Stormhaven groups with you and shares it, and now you can do the Stormhaven one and turn it in. Ask for share. Etc. You can't repeat the same one, but you can do one daily in each base game zone every day. Helps if you have a guild that will make a thing of it and encourage folks to group up and do a bunch.

No, thus far we have not found another +125 daily for Bastian. There's a thread in the PTS section where we've been trying to definitively collect all the actions that affect rapport for both of them, you can check that out if you like.

Make sure to go to Arteum once a day, too. If you wayshrine in, run up to the tower and enter and exit it.
