Side Quest: Lost And Found

Quest Accepted!

Side Quest: Licensed To Reave

Quest Accepted!
Nothing seems shady about this at all.

While passing through the Seventh Sage, you'll come across a man named Mordyn who has an offer you simply couldn't refuse.

Well, you could, but you'd be losing out on a sweet 110 gil. All you have to do is help out the captain of the Kraken's Arms.

Yes, they are a pirate crew, according to Mordyn. No need to be worried, right...?


You named your ship Misery? What a cheery bunch.

The captain of the Kraken's Arm, Carvallain, welcomes you warmly. He trades in "spices" that many consider rare or valuable. His request for you is simple enough, though.

Simply take two pouches of his "spices" to hand out to Ginnade at the Coral Tower and Lyngsath at the Bismarck.

Deliver two samples and report back. Simple.


Firesand? That isn't just another word for spice?

The first goes to Ginnade at the Coral Tower. Dropping it off with her causes her to reveal that the "spice" sample is actually firesand. It would seem our pirate friend uses the term "spice" to refer to literally anything he brings in. It is easy to assume he raided a Garlean Empire ship to acquire it... A dangerous feat indeed.

One sample left to deliver.

A root? He really does use the word "spice" for everything.


The second sample has to be taken to Lyngsath over at the Bismarck, located just a short distance to the west of the Seventh Sage across a short bridge.

This time it is a root instead of firesand, and not just any root either. It was grown in Othard, which is under imperial rule at the moment.

Just how did he get it, anyway...?

So there are good pirates running around?


When you return to Carvallain, he discusses how times have changed for pirates, and that he changed with those times. He now operates within the law, using his talents to attack enemies of Limsa Lominsa. A heavily-armed trader indeed...

Side Quest: A Thousand Words

Quest Accepted!
And this all happened nary a bell ago!


It would seem that someone had the gall to pull a dine-and-dash on the Bismarck. Eating a tasteful meal and running away without paying for it... What a despicable way to be.

Latisha asks you to check in with the cook who made the "free" meal, R'sushmo. Be warned, she is... Slightly miffed about the ordeal.


Yeesh. Limsa Lominsa cooks are scary.


R'sushmo can be found on the other side of the room, positively fuming over what happened. Speak to her and you'll receive an artist's rendition of the man in question's face to take to Godebert at Coral Tower.

Hopefully he can resolve this before she becomes even more violent...



Believe me, the fact she didn't set the paper on fire while drawing on it is astonishing in and of itself.
Godebert's job seems difficult.


The drawing is apparently quite awful. Godebert can't make heads or tails of who it is supposed to be, and concludes it would be easiest if R'sushmo came over in person and described the person.

Time to go back and deliver the good news.




Oh dear.
There are no words for your artistic skills, though.


As expected, she is less than thrilled about the hassle. But look at the bright side!

...It's no longer your problem.

Side Quest: A Sheepish Request

Quest Accepted!
Not good for business to run out of a main product.

Just outside the Bismarck you will find a worried woman in need of help. It would appear the diner she works for is in dire need of some fresh lamb for an upcoming important dinner.

She's willing to reward you if you could go speak to Abylfarr about it, so it is off to Bulwark Hall under the Drowning Wench.

Side Quest: Duty Calls

Quest Accepted!
Who wants to deliver some ledgers?

In Mealvaan's Gate, more easily located as the Arcanist's Guild on the western side of Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks, you'll find P'tahjha on the left side of the counter.

This quest is readily available if you turned in Proper Procedure just beforehand. She needs you to deliver a couple of ledgers, the first one being to Sundhimal in the plaza.



The Bismarck is just behind Sundhimal.


Head through both branches Hawker's Alley to reach the plaza, where you'll find Sundhimal standing near the gate leading to the Upper Decks. Speaking to him will turn in the first ledger, and he'll point you in the direction of the Bismarck.





One less diner pirates can safely chow down at.


Head to the Upper Decks through the gate just behind Sundhimal to find yourself just outside the Bismarck. If you head to the left, you'll find the entrance to the diner.

Heading inside and to the counter in the back corner, you'll find Latisha. Give her the ledger, and your delivery job is done.

Side Quest: The Right Price

Quest Accepted!

This will give you a chance to check out the stores.


Swozblaet has a job for you. He oversees price ranges and ensures an equal-opportunity marketplace. Fair enough, but he is rather busy lately, so he asks you to go around and check in at a few stores across both stretches of Hawker's Alley to ensure their prices are fair.

Three stores in total, and then you check in with Baensyng at the opposite end to deliver the intel. The three stores are...

Iron Thunder, in East Hawker's Alley on your way out. He'll be on the right.

Kyokyoroon, located right around the left corner as you enter West Hawker's Alley.
And lastly Syneyhil, on the right shortly after Kyokyoroon.
The markets are fine now, but pirates are always a problem.


Shortly after meeting with Syneyhil, you'll find Baensyng at the end of West Hawker's Alley on the left. Doing the quest in the order shown causes all events to basically be in a single path, making for an easy quest completion. Speaking of quest completion...

Side Quest: Proper Procedure

Quest Accepted!
Shivershakes?


Sweetnix Rosycheeks can be found just before entering East Hawker's Alley from the plaza. His quest is a simple back and forth, as he is a bit scared to deliver a letter to the Gate Of Mealvaan.

What is there to be scared of, though? Best head over and find out.




Turns out there was no need for fear at all.

P'tahjha is found in Mealvaan's Gate past West Hawker's Alley, to the left of the Arcanist's Guild.

Apparently, being a foreign merchant means filing taxes monthly to operate within the city limits. And... That's it.

P'ahjha deals with this timid merchant every month... Certainly sounds 'taxing' enough to me.


Jinglyshine?


Return to Sweetnix to complete the quest. He hasn't moved, so this was more or less going from one person to another and back to the first. Easy as they come.
