Request from the Farm Owner

Welcome, traveler. I originally resided in Gludio, but lost my family during the war with Gracia and moved here to start a new life.

I am trying to ranch here with my old friend, Marius. We were going to take our sheep to the sunny hillside right over there and turn them out to pasture ... But the giant spiders showed up, and we lost all thirty sheep that we brought from Innadril.

Soon, we're going to hire someone to kill the giant spiders around this area. Do you think you could help out with that?

Welcome, traveler. I originally resided in Gludio, but lost my family during the war with Gracia and moved here to start a new life.

I am trying to ranch here with my old friend, Marius. We were going to take our sheep to the sunny hillside right back there and turn them out to pasture ... But the giant spiders showed up, and we lost all thirty sheep that we brought from Innadril.

We are going to hire mercenaries with the money the governor granted us and drive off the giant spiders from this area. It looks like you know how to fight ...Do you think you could exterminate those spiders for us?

• Say you will take the task

Hunt the giant spiders that are wreaking havoc in this area, then bring their skins back to me. I will reward you for each Giant Spider Skin you bring back.

Oh, and if you need something while hunting those spiders, ask my friend, Marius. He takes care of everything that we bring from the village.

What, there weren't any spiders to hunt? That can't be ... Only a few days ago, those spiders ate some pigs that were in the backyard. They're somewhere around here, I tell you.

• Say you will quit
• Say you will continue

Thank you for your trouble. I hope you didn't get hurt? As we promised, I will reward you for each Giant Spider Skin that you have brought. Here, take this.

Thanks to your help, I will soon be able to graze my cattle without any worries. Just thinking of that makes me so happy. I can picture my sheep peacefully grazing in the pastures on the green hillside.

• Say you will quit
• Say you will continue

It's too bad, but I guess it can't be helped. Although it was brief, I really appreciate your help. If you go back to the village, could you tell the folks that Edmond of the northwestern ranch is looking to hire soldiers?

Please carry on then. Those spiders are vicious, so be careful. And remember, if you need anything, ask Marius. He will be more than willing to help you.

May the blessings of the starlight fall upon you. So you are the mercenary hired by my colleague Edmond. I was once a Knight with a sword ... But ... something happened. And I pledged not to touch a sword again. I have retired now.

I felt terrible that I haven't been able to help Edmond ... Thankfully, I owe you gratitude for volunteering to kill these spiders for us. Tell me anything you need. If you bring me ten or more Giant Spider Skins, I will exchange them for a Healing Potion or arrows.

Tell me if you need anything. I will exchange two Healing Potions, fifty Wooden Arrows, 60 no grade soulshots or 30 no grade spiritshots for ten Giant Spider Skins.

• Say you will not make an exchange.
• Say you will make an exchange for two high-quality Healing Potions.
• Say you will make an exchange for fifty Wooden Arrows.
• Say you will make an exchange for 60 no grade soulshots.
• Say you will make an exchange for 30 no grade spiritshots.

Please be careful when hunting the spiders. They have very sensitive hearing, so they will attack anything that moves around them. Be on guard from a distance, and be watchful for any unexpected attacks.

I got this Healing Potion from Silvia in the village a few days ago. This is a very effective item for treating injuries received in battle.

• Go Back

I bought these arrows from the weapon shop when I went to the village few days ago. Trader Lector took care in selecting these, so you can use them without any worries.

Personally, I would shoot arrows from a far distance to wound the spider, then approach it to deliver the final blow ... but I'm sure you have your own ways of hunting them.

• Go Back

It's a soulshot created personally by Blacksmith Altran. He is highly regarded among Dwarves as an excellent artisan! I'm sure that this item is up to his high standards.

• ""Tell me more about soulshots."

Ah, you're new to soulshots, are you? Well by all means, let me explain! A soulshot enhances a weapon by encircling it with a blue spirit. This greatly improves the attack power of the weapon. The enhancement is consumed with use. Continuous attack will require multiple soulshots. Mercenaries and hunters are known to carry hundreds of soulshots as part of their equipment.

It is very important to remember that soulshots can only be applied only to a weapon that has been specifically designed to absorb spirit energy. The grade of the weapon and the type of soulshot used determine the outcome. Know your weapon and select the appropriate soulshot.

This spiritshot was made by Blacksmith Altran. He is well-known among Dwarves as a superb craftsman. This item is of top quality. Put it to good use.

• "Tell me about the spiritshot."

You don't know how to use a spiritshot? OK, here's a brief explanation:

A spiritshot enhances a weapon with the explosive energy of a powerful spirit. Blessed spiritshots are even more powerful. Each spiritshot only works once, so you will need multiple spiritshots if you intend to use them successively.

A good Mystic will always have enough spiritshots to save himself and his party in a crisis.

Spiritshots may only be used with weapons that are designed to absorb spirit energy. The grade of weapon must match the grade of the spiritshot.

Do you need anything else? I will exchange two Healing Potions, fifty Wooden Arrows, 60 no grade soulshots or 30 no grade spiritshots for ten Giant Spider Skins.

• Say you will not make an exchange.
• Say you will make an exchange for two high-quality Healing Potions.
• Say you will make an exchange for fifty Wooden Arrows.
• Say you will make an exchange for 60 no grade soulshots.
• Say you will make an exchange for 30 no grade spiritshots.

If you need anything later, gather Giant Spider Skins and come back to me.
