Quest Walkthrough
Step 1
Quest Text Are you going to use the Central Market?
Be prudent, always! Your money is precious!
Step 2
Adventurer, welcome!
A lot of good products came in today!
Step 3
Adventurer, how is it?
My calculations aren't wrong, are they?
Step 4
If you want to trade, I'm the person you're looking for!
Step 5
Objective What's the latest trend?
Summary What's trending these days?
Well, the increase in taxes did lower interest in luxury items.
Though, with that said,
Fan Flamingo NPC Knowledge Plumes are always in high demand!
Step 6
I trust today has been uneventful for you?
How can I assist you?
Step 7
Objective I've come across a rather intriguing item.
Summary Ah-ha! In that case, you've come to the right place!
My eye for appraising goods is unparalleled, after all.
Step 8
Shall we take a look
at what you've brought?
Step 9
Objective Hand over the pocket watch.
Summary Huh? This watch...
I've seen it somewhere before...
Step 10
Adventurer, this pocket watch, you know...
Could you possibly tell me where you acquired it?
Step 11
Objective I got it through bartering.
Summary My goodness. To see it here is quite the surprise.
I'm so delighted.
Step 12
My father was once hailed
as a legend in Imperial Trade.
Step 13
He learned a great deal from my grandfather when he was young.
This watch's journey around the world is due in part to that teaching.
Step 14
Objective What kind of teaching was it?
Summary There was a time when my father was involved in a significant trade,
but he was at a disadvantage with little to boast about.
Step 15
Fortunately, the other party admired my grandfather.
My father handed this watch over to them right away.
Step 16
Objective Must've taken quite the resolve...
Summary Right? At the time, I didn't quite understand it.
Even though the trade was successful, and he became the man he is today.
When I asked if he was
truly okay with it, he said,
"You should always be willing to do so, especially if deemed necessary."
Step 17
Remarkable, wasn't he?
He's incredibly earnest about trading.
Step 18
Objective But I imagine it must've been bittersweet...
Summary I'm sure it was.
He'll be thrilled to see it again.
Step 19
Adventurer,
would you like to make a deal with me?
Step 20
Objective Just take it. It's returning to its rightful place.
Summary You're so kind to offer it so readily.
Thank you very much.
Step 21
If I were to honestly say it was a gesture of goodwill,
he'd probably tell me to take it back entirely.
Step 22
He might even be disappointed.
That's why I need successful trade experiences, too.
Step 23
Objective Isn't it limiting within Heidel?
Summary I think so, too.
My father was in charge of Imperial Trade, after all.
I need a bigger stage as well.
Like Calpheon, for example.
Step 24
If I accumulate many successful trade experiences and grow,
he'll just have to acknowledge me, won't he?
Step 25
Objective Why not aim for something even bigger?
Summary Bigger, you say?
Do I need to go as far as Valencia?
Step 26
Or should I establish
my very own, brand new trade guild?
Step 27
Objective Expand your horizons to the sea.
Summary The sea... Of course!
The sea is where I should make my mark!
A limited and harsh place, where everyone is in dire need.
Sometimes lawless, sometimes a battlefield.
By gaining successful trade experiences on the vast sea,
I can grow beyond comparison,
especially to how I am now!
My father will have no choice but to acknowledge me!
But... how do I venture out to sea?
Should I secure a ship first?
Step 28
Perhaps that's the first step in proving my worth.
But no problem, I'm confident!
Step 29
Objective Even if with a ship, the sea is no easy feat.
Summary It's certainly quite dangerous for me alone.
Then it would be wise to find a ship to board.
Step 30
Once I'm ready to depart,
I'll head to Velia first.
Step 31
Objective As it happens, I'm in need of a first mate...
Summary First mate! How splendid!
That position would be perfect for showcasing my skills!
I won't let you down.
I've learned a great deal from my father, after all.
Given the size of my family,
I've learned how to handle all sorts of people as well.
