Hire a group to do a thing!
Rather than scoping the adventurer's guild for the 100th person to talk to (I ain't banging that technique) for someone to tell your story to and hopefully join them in adventures, hire a group! That's why there's merc groups or free agents!
It's a different and unique way to meet new characters and possibly ones that simply aren't centered in Ul'dah or frequent taverns. Setting up a job, no matter how large or small, requires a good bit of legwork on your part with the prospecting group.
Something like:
1. Initial meeting (wandering to that group's HQ)/letter correspondence
2. Job meeting
3. Job!
4. Post-job success/fail debriefing.
5. ????
6. Profit!
While I personally don't frequent the Quicksands that much, I have run into random folks by, well, wandering the wilds. No doubt some folks have seen a bald one-eyed man in black armor walking a path in the Shroud. Even scratched out a job by randomly wandering into a RPer ICly looking for directions.
It's 5AM and I think that's all a coherent post... I'll punctuate this with the most important thing ever. Coffee.
