Re: Cant activate tactics pearl Quest?
I have read and did all of this already...

1. Upon obtaining sufficient Adventuring Fellow Bond (about level 33+), summon your NPC at a Rendezvous Point and select the "Let's talk about quests" option to hear a message about the Emptiness. The text will be similar to this:

Actually, I've been requested to carry out an investigation of the Emptiness. It appears to be a most complicated phenomenon. If I may, I would like to have your assistance in this matter. I have no strict timetable, so please come along when you are ready.
Note: Your NPC will only mention the Emptiness once per week.
Note: You cannot call your NPC in Promyvion unless you have 33 points of bond, despite the fact that your NPC may mention this quest before you have 33 points of bond. The cap of bond is 30 until you finish the Past Reflections quest.
In order to hear this speech, you must have access to the Promyvions (See "The Rites of Life" and "Below the Arks").
2. Enter Promyvion - Dem, Promyvion - Holla, or Promyvion - Mea. There should be a Rendezvous Point as soon as you enter. Check the point and you will get a cutscene with your NPC, thanking you for coming out. After this, your NPC will be summoned.

It is not necessary to have the Signal Pearl with you to start or complete this quest.
3. You will have 45 minutes with your NPC to find a "???."

4. When you kill monsters in Promyvion, your NPC will gather experience. The maximum amount of experience that can be obtained is 2,700. You can only kill a maximum of 30 monsters for maximum experience in that time period.


Spire Floor 1 ??? Locations Floor 2 ??? Locations Floor 3 ??? Locations Floor 4 ??? Locations
Holla H-7 G-9 E-6, L-5 L-11
Dem J-12 E-9 F-6, G-12 K-8
Mea F-4 F-10 E-7, K-9 I-5
Total Experience Points (Monsters Killed x 40) + (300) (Monsters Killed x 40) + (500) (Monsters Killed x 40) + (750) (Monsters Killed x 40) + (1500)

The amount of Experience Points your NPC receives will depend on which floor you check the ???.
The easiest ??? to solo is on the first floor of Promyvion - Mea.
5. When you find the ???, check it. Your NPC will get experience for the monsters you've killed and you will have the option to warp back to entrance of the Promyvion.

6. Return to a Rendezvous Point in any city and call your NPC.

7. Your NPC will give you a Tactics Pearl, which will allow you to summon your NPC every 10 minutes.

Calling your NPC with a Tactics Pearl is the same as if called with the Signal Pearl.
You can only obtain one Tactics Pearl every week (resets after the Conquest Tally)
You must drop your old Tactics Pearl before you can get a new one. Dropping your Tactics Pearl will not lower your NPC affinity.
You must speak to your NPC about quests before going back to the respective Promyvion.
You must repeat the Promyvion quest.
If you fail the quest, it can be repeated the next real-life day (after midnight, JST).

Re: Cant activate tactics pearl Quest?
Have you tried just going to Promyvion and seeing if your NPC will show? I've heard of people activating the quest and not noticing. Your NPC won't mention it again after it's said it once. Also I believe you can not have any other adventuring fellow quests active. I don't know if that affects you.

The Rendezvous Point is right there after you enter the level capped area.

Re: Cant activate tactics pearl Quest?
Yeah, I had this exact same situation happen to me not too long ago as well. I was wondering why my Tactics Pearl quest never triggered, and then one day I just went into Promyvion, and lo and behold, there was my NPC after I clicked on the rendevous point. Now I have my pearl.

Yeah, the trigger text is rather innocuous, and never comes up again, so you can easily miss it. It's not in your quest log, so you wouldn't know you had it open if you didn't catch it, either.
