These are the extra missions you encounter by speaking to the citizens of Nova Chrysallia, and completing them is among the very few ways for players to power up Lightning, as she no longer gains any experience from regular battles. These quests usually require players to complete a segment of the main quest for the particular location, before they become available.
| Side Quest 01 - Play It For Me |
| The client, Morris will be at Armor Alley in Central Avenue from 1 PM. He asks Lightning to retrieve three musical scores housed in special treasure spheres. The target will have notes floating out of them and will be playing music so they won't be hard to identify. For the first score climb the ladder by a wall near the Cactuar Statue in Central Avenue; the next one is behind a building at the Coliseum Square, which is found in the Champions Quarter; and the last one is in a small alcove west of the Canvas of Prayers message board. |

| Rewards - 1500 Gil, Crown of Youth, Max HP+80, STR+8, MAG+4. |
| Side Quest 02 - Songless Diva |
| The client, Olga appears in the Fountain Square at 12 PM. First you must find Berdy. He is the man wearing a purple shirt and mask. Chase him down as he flees and talk to him. Turns out some monsters stole his satchel which contains the song he'd written for Olga. Head all the way north to the end of Central Avenue and head down the stairs to the Lower City, where you must crash the big Gremlin party. Kill them and take the satchel back to Berdy. |
| Timeline - After starting Main Quest 2-1, 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM |
| Rewards - 1400 Gil, Queens Mask, Max HP+80, STR+6, MAG+6. |
| Side Quest 03 - Free Will |
| There is a group of alchemists clad white cloaks in the Fountain Square, and they'll tell Lightning to come speak to them when "the sun is at its highest point in the sky", so visit them again at 12 noon. Desert Flames can be acquired from the locals of Yusnaan and from a treasure sphere in the Underground Route. Next, you'll be tasked with slaying Niblet Omega so kill every Niblet you see until a pink Niblet (this is your mark) appears, Kill it and return to the seers to complete the quest. |
| Timeline - After starting Main Quest 2-1. Visit again by 12 PM the next day. |
| Rewards - 4500 gil, Blue Mage Garb, Summoner's Mask, Max HP+140, STR+8, MAG+12 |
| Side Quest 04 - Stolen Things |
| If you speak to Gregory at Central Avenue, he'll tell you to watch out for pickpockets. When night falls, pass through Central Avenue again and Lightning will get some gil stolen. Speak to Gregory at this point to start the quest. You'll find Pickett in the wider alley at the south side of Reveler's Quarters. Go after him to get your loose change back, then leave and return waiting for Pickett to steal from you again. This time he'll swipe the letter so run him down, talk to him and you're done. |
| Timeline - After starting Main Quest 2-1, 12:00 PM - 4:00 AM |
| Rewards - 400 Gil, Formal Silk Hat, Max HP+50, STR+4, MAG+2. |
| Side Quest 05 - Family Food |
| Seedy's food stall is located at the southwest corner of Glutton's Quarters. Eat some Fried Niblet Hairball and the man will ask you to find someone called Gordon Gourmet. The person you want is chilling at the Banquet of the Lord. Talk to him and he'll send you on a little culinary adventure which involves sampling a dish from all 6 restaurants (excluding Seedy's of course) in Glutton's Quarters. What you taste doesn't really matter so always go for the cheapest dish. Report back to Gordon who then sends you to try and find a Civet Musk. This is dropped by the Schrodinger found in Central Avenue. Return to Gordon then to Seedy's and back to Gordon. The exchange between Hope and Lightning here is amusing too so its worth the effort. |
| Timeline - After starting Main Quest 2-1. |
| Rewards - 1500 Gil, Chef's Hat, Max HP+120, STR+8, MAG+4. |
| Side Quest 06 - Adoring Adornments |
| Candice is found at the Statue of God in Augur's Quarter. This quest will take time to complete as the client requires you to gather a significant number of adornments. You can buy the stuff from Outfitters all over Nova Chrysalia. Or if you started this job late and took the time to complete most of the other side quests, you should have plenty in your collection without having to spend much. |

| Rewards - 5000 Gil, Carnival Mask, Max HP+140, STR+8, MAG+12. |

| As soon as Lightning is tasked to gather Fireworks in Main Quest 2-2, you'll find this drunk pyrotechnician in Central Avenue. His location is pointed out with a blue marker so you can't really not see him. He wants a bottle of Bacchus's Brew in exchange for 4 Fireworks. So go to the Banquet of the Lords and buy some from the owner for 1000 Gil. Take the booze back to the drunk. |

| As soon as Lightning is tasked to gather Fireworks in Main Quest 2-2, you'll find the client, Funicula at the Hawker's Row, right next to the exit leading to Road to War. All you need to do is defeat the Skata'ne in the tunnel and it'll drop 5 Fireworks. Return these to Funicula then follow him when he runs off. Talk to him again and he'll hand you 7 Fireworks. That will be all for this quest. |

Your task is to obtain 30 Niblet Defeater Emblems which is dropped each time you kill a Niblet.

Hope's list pretty much tells you exactly where they are and the chicks will be shown as a yellow dot on the map, which appears when you enter the general area of where a chick is supposed to be at: - Yusnaan Palace. A kindly sentry stationed in the garden. - Augurs Quarter. A hardworking man rebuilding the stage. - Revelers Quarter. A young woman waiting for her date by the cactuar statue. - Gluttons Quarter. A friendly clerk at the Aromatic Market - Gluttons Quarter. A lady of leisure enjoying tea. - Yusnaan Station. A diligent stationmaster by the side door |

| Tomasso is also in Pleasure Alley (Revelers Quarter) near the stairs leading up to Augurs Quarter. Apart from the timeline you must also complete Adoring Adornments to unlock this quest. The shop where you can buy the Gift Glasses the client needs only opens between 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Visit the shop at the Champions Quarter in that time and pay 4000 Gil for the item. Give it to Tomasso. |

| Rewards - 4200 gil, Nickel Gear, Max HP+140, STR+12, MAG+8 |
| Side Quest 16 - A Testing Proposition |
| Here we have another time consuming request. Alchemist Velno is also in the battle arena and he requests Lightning to be the test subject of his dubious potions. Bascially, what you need to do is let yourself be debuffed on purpose in battle then use the client's special potion and see what happens. Report back to Velno each time after. The best monster to do this quest with is the Earth Eater at the Dead Dunes as it inflicts most of the ailments required to complete this. |
