Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Baidur: Oh, I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be able to sell my wares. I was so certain I could finally make a success of myself here as a trader... Baidur: Ah, hello there. Tell me, have you ever tried your hand at running your own market stall? Baidur: I myself have been struggling to sell much of anything of late. Observing someone else may be just what I need. Baidur: Let me know if you feel up to the challenge.
Speaking with Baidur
Baidur: Are you willing to tend to my stall?
System: Tending to the merchant's stall will take several minutes. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.
< What will you say? > < No > < Yes >
< No > Baidur: That is a shame indeed. Please do speak with me again if you change your mind. (Conversation ends)
< Yes > Baidur: Fantastic! I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot from observing you. Baidur: I have always prided myself on having a varied assortment of goods for sale. There should be something here for every kind of customer. The best of luck to you!
System: Listen carefully to each customer and choose something you think will meet their needs.
Cutscene
Xaela Mother: Oh my, quite a selection of food you have. Let me think, yesterday we had fish... Trader, what would you recommend for a bunch of growing boys with healthy appetites?
< What will you say? > < Grilled fish. > < Cheese. > < Mammoth thigh. > < A tea brick. >
< Any answer except Mammoth Thigh > Xaela Mother: Hmm, I am not so sure my boys would like that. I think I shall go and buy meat from another stall.
System: You have failed to make a sale. It appears the customer did not appreciate your recommendation.
< Mammoth thigh. > Xaela Mother: That does sound nice, doesn't it. I will take your finest mammoth thigh!
System: You made a sale! Nicely done.
(All) Xaela Boy: Give me a toy! Mummy said I could buy a toy because I've been good. I don't have much money so it should be something cheap. What can I buy?
< What will you say? > < A Kharaqiq board and pieces. > < A cheap wooden flute. > < A fancy multicolored doll. >
< Any options except a cheap wooden flute. > Xaela Boy: That sounds like lots of fun! Give it to me! Xaela Boy: It costs how much!? Mummy didn't give me that much money.
System: You have failed to make a sale. It appears the customer did not appreciate your recommendation.
< Cheap wooden flute. > Xaela Boy: A flute? I've never played one before but maybe Daddy can teach me. I'll take it!
System: You made a sale! Nicely done.
(All) Lovestruck Xaela: Oh, I pine for that buxom maiden so, but I know not how to express my feelings. Whatever should I do?
< What will you say? > < I've got just the book for you. > < Scream of your love to all of Reunion. > < Good things come to handsome gents. > < You'll get nowhere with a face like that. >
< Any option except the book. > Lovestruck Xaela: Sorry, did I look like I was soliciting advice? I was just heading home. I'll have you know I've a long night of crying myself to sleep ahead of me!
System: You have failed to make a sale. It appears the customer did not appreciate your recommendation.
< I've got just the book for you. > Lovestruck Xaela: A book, you say? Pray tell me, just what is it called?
< What will you say? > < A Beginner's Guide to Tumet Child Rearing. > < Swim like an Ejinn. > < Adarkim Tactics: Advanced Edition. > < Qalli Love Songs of Legend. >
< Any book except Love Songs > Lovestruck Xaela: Are you mocking my love? There are other things I could be doing right now instead of taking your insults. I'll have you know I've a long night of crying myself to sleep ahead of me!
System: You have failed to make a sale. It appears the customer did not appreciate your recommendation.
< Qalli Love Songs of Legend. > Lovestruck Xaela: Love songs? Now that you mention it, I remember her saying she enjoyed music. I will take that book, thank you!
System: You made a sale! Nicely done.
(All) Xaela Maiden: Do you think this necklace suits me? I just bought it from that stall over there.
< What will you say? > < Is that one of the eyes of Nidhogg!? > < It looks lovely on you. > < What a nice shade of scarlet. > < We have even better jewelry here! >
< Is that one of the eyes of Nidhogg!? > OR < We have even better jewelry here! > Xaela Maiden: Tell me then, just what would you suggest I buy?
< It looks lovely on you. > OR < What a nice shade of scarlet. > Xaela Maiden: I am glad you think so! I fell in love with the color the moment I saw it and knew it had to be mine.
(Any) Xaela Maiden: In fact, I had actually planned on buying two pieces of jewelry today. Do you have anything for sale?
<What will you say? > < Scarlet Earrings. > < A black bracelet. > < A ruby ring. > < A sapphire ring. >
< A black bracelet. > OR < A sapphire ring. > Xaela Maiden: Hmm, I am not so sure the color would suit me. It is awfully drab. No, I think that is enough shopping for today.
System: You have failed to make a sale. It appears the customer did not appreciate your recommendation.
< A ruby ring. > Xaela Maiden: That looks very nice indeed. I shall take it! Xaela Maiden: That said, those scarlet earrings would go perfectly with my necklace... Give me both the ring and the earrings!
System: You made a sale! Nicely done.
< Scarlet Earrings. > Xaela Maiden: Ah, those would go perfectly with my necklace! I will have them, thank you. Xaela Maiden: That said, I am quite taken with this ruby ring as well... Give me both the earrings and this ring!
System: You made a sale! Nicely done.
(If you fail two sales in a row) Baidur: Perhaps you ought to rest for a while. It seems like this may all be a bit too much for you right now. Speak with me whenever you feel ready to try again. (Cutscene Ends, have to restart)
(If successfully made sales) Baidur: I must say I am very impressed. I had no idea there was still so much I had to learn about trading. Baidur: Up until now I had simply recommended whatever I thought was best. But it is clear that the customer's wishes should always be my top priority. Baidur: Thank you for all your help.
