Step-by-Step Instructions

The Kobolds are a combat-focused Beast Tribe located in the volcanic region of O'Ghomoro in Outer La Noscea. They are one of the original tribes introduced in A Realm Reborn.

1. Complete the Main Scenario Prerequisite

Before you can unlock this tribe, you must progress the Main Scenario Questline (MSQ) until you complete the Level 41 quest "In Pursuit of the Past". This quest deals with the events at the Stone Vigil.

2. Locate Trachraet in Limsa Lominsa

Once the prerequisite is met and you are at least Level 41 on a combat job, head to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks. Locate the NPC Trachraet at Maelstrom Command (X: 12.7, Y: 12.8).

3. Complete "Highway Robbery"

Accept the quest "Highway Robbery". This quest will direct you to investigate incidents at Camp Overlook in Outer La Noscea. You will eventually be led to the 789th Order Dig (Outer La Noscea X: 21.6, Y: 17.8), the home of a group of outcast Kobolds.

4. Begin Daily Quests

Upon unlocking the tribe, you will meet the 789th Order, led by Gi Gu. You can then accept daily quests to earn EXP and reputation. These quests are excellent for leveling combat jobs in the 40-50 range.

As you increase your reputation rank with the Kobolds, you will unlock various rewards for purchase with Titan Cobaltpieces (the tribal currency) or Gil:

Mount: Bomb Palanquin
Minion: Wind-up Kobold
Furnishing: Kobold Vendor style items
Materials: Various crafting materials and dyes

Lore of the Kobolds

The Kobolds are a subterranean race of mole-like creatures who dwell in O'Ghomoro, a volcano in northern Vylbrand. They are skilled miners and metalworkers who revere the Primal Titan, Lord of Crags. While most Kobolds are hostile to Limsa Lominsa due to territorial disputes, the 789th Order are outcasts who are more interested in survival (and slacking off) than war.
