No Greater Sport

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The self-proclaimed bounty hunter Lue-Reeq is in search of a partner to help him slay an especially notorious mark─one of the four Cardinal Virtues, those most infamous instigators of the Flood. However, while you may look the part, Lue-Reeq would have you first demonstrate your considerable skills before your conversation can proceed further. Fortunately, you need not travel far to find suitable prey, as Lakeland has no shortage of ravenous beasts.
* The bounty hunter is kind enough to supply you with suitable bait for your audition─delivered to him in the field by a hireling, no less. You need only place it out in the open.
* The trap is set. Now comes the part where you must wait for something hungry to come hither...
* The beast is no more, as Lue-Reeq has doubtless observed. All that remains is to confirm that he is satisfied by your performance.
* Lue-Reeq applauds your martial prowess, clearly relieved that his judgment was not in error. He bids you return to the Crystarium where you will finalize the terms of your arrangement.
* Unlike others, Lue-Reeq cares not a whit for who the Warriors of Light were, be it heroes or villains. However, the fallen adventurer-turned-Virtue Renda-Rae was arguably the greatest hunter who ever lived, and the youth would like nothing more than to beat her at her own game. Fame and fortune is your promised reward, though he is happy to provide some modest compensation in advance. Needless to say, this may be the beginning of a beautiful partnership...
※The next role quest will be available from Lue-Reeq upon reaching level 72 in any physical DPS class.
==Objectives==
* Rendezvous with Lue-Reeq in Lakeland.
* Use the bait to lure out a wild beast.
* Wait for and slay the wild beast.
* Speak with Lue-Reeq.
* Speak with Lue-Reeq in the Crystarium.

Luereeq 	Wait. You wouldn't happen to be...
Luereeq 	Yes, of course you are. 'Tis plain from the way you carry yourself. You're just the sort of woman/man I've been looking for! You're perfect!
Luereeq 	My name is Lue-Reeq, and I...am a bounty hunter. But not just any bounty hunter, I will have you know. Nay, I am not wont to settle for run-of-the-mill prey. I hunt sin eaters.
Luereeq 	Not only that, I have recently set my sights on a particularly notable fiend─one of the four Cardinal Virtues, those infamous instigators of the Flood itself.
Luereeq 	Naturally, it will take considerable strength and skill to defeat such a formidable eater, and I am not afraid to admit I cannot do it alone. However, with the aid of equally formidable allies, I am confident it can be done...
Luereeq 	And you, my friend, are exactly the sort of ally I have a mind to recruit!
Luereeq 	W-Wait! I have money! Lots and lots of money! You will be well rewarded for your service, on my honor!
Luereeq 	Aha! I knew you would be interested! And should the challenge alone be insufficient motivation, know that I have substantial financial resources at my disposal. You will be duly compensated for your service, rest assured.
Luereeq 	However, as much as I am certain you are the right woman/man for the job, 'tis only meet that I put your skills to the proof. A simple test should suffice.
Luereeq 	Pray do not be offended, but you would be shocked how many people present themselves falsely in order to enrich themselves or to impress others...
Luereeq 	Here we are! Our proving grounds! You need only slay a beast of suitable ferocity before my very eyes to demonstrate your own.
Luereeq 	Naturally, we require bait to lure one out of hiding...
Hiredman03273 	Oi, milord. Got your package here.
Luereeq 	Well done, my good man. And here is your payment...
Luereeq 	Oh, this? The bait in question. Easier to have it delivered than to take a detour and pick it up myself. Rather more efficient as well. Time is money!
Luereeq 	Now then─you need only place it in the open and slay whatever comes to claim it. I cannot imagine it will take long for something to come hither.
 	
Luereeq 	As I said, simply place the bait out in the open and await whatever ferocious beast comes to feast upon it. Slay it, and I will know you to be a warrior brave and true!
 	
Luereeq 	Fantastic! I knew I was not wrong about you. Come, let us return to the Crystarium at once.
 	
Luereeq 	Congratulations on a kill well made, my good woman/man! I daresay this is the beginning of a beautiful partnership!
Luereeq 	Let us commemorate the occasion with a feast! Eat, drink, and be merry!
Luereeq 	<grunt> <crunch> <crunch>
<snort> <slurp> <grunt>
Wonderful stuff, isn't it? My compliments to the chef. <belch>
Luereeq 	Another helping? No? Are you sure? It really is no bother. Oh, very well...
Luereeq 	...I should like to return to our earlier discussion─that of the Virtue I have engaged you to hunt with me.
Luereeq 	Andreia is her name, and she roams Norvrandt in the guise of Renda-Rae, fallen Warrior of Light and renowned hunter of eld.
Luereeq 	She is a most elusive eater who has been sighted in every corner of the realm. Though her movements are unpredictable, she has often been witnessed pursuing and slaying extraordinarily dangerous beasts.
Luereeq 	I can well imagine the question forming in your head─why not leave her be? If anything, is she not aiding local communities after a fashion? Alas, no, for the beasts she slays rise anew, as eaters, which pose even greater threats to the smallfolk.
Luereeq 	So you see, this one wretched sin eater is in truth sowing untold chaos by carrying on as she does, unleashing more of her kind on unsuspecting towns and villages all across Norvrandt. Only you and I can stop her.
Luereeq 	Huh. What an odd thing to ask. But never mind all that─whether or not they were heroes or villains or whatever a hundred years ago doesn't matter to me.
Luereeq 	The simple truth is, Renda-Rae was the greatest hunter who ever lived, and beating her at her own game would be an amazing feat, don't you think?
Luereeq 	And regardless of what the Warriors of Light were before they became sin eaters, that's what they are now, so we'd be doing folks a favor by killing one.
Luereeq 	Well? What say you, friend? Will you hunt Andreia with me?
Luereeq 	So begins our formal partnership! Ahh, I can see it now─you and me in the heat of battle, fighting side by side, the picture of courage and camaraderie! It's going to be grand!
Luereeq 	Naturally, it will take us time to study and understand our prey. Eaters can behave in strange and inexplicable ways, particularly powerful ones like Andreia.
Luereeq 	I've been doing my best to get inside her head─to think like a hunter─but it is easier said than done. Anyway! As soon as I have determined where we ought to begin our search, I will inform you at once!
Luereeq 	...Oh? Is the reward lacking? My apologies. Next time I will see that you receive rather more substantial compensation.
