The dutiful mammet Memolivia listens to your every word with what you can only guess is rapt attention, speedily writing down the details in incomprehensible shorthand. It then begins trimming the text further until naught remains but concise descriptions of the fiercest battles you encountered in The Merchant's Tale. As you read the record over, you find that without the trappings of that wondrous story to soften them, the foes you faced were terrifying beyond your wildest imaginings...

— In-game description

The Merchant's Tale (Advanced) is a level 100 variant dungeon introduced in patch 7.45 with Dawntrail.

Unlock

To unlock this dungeon, players must speak with the Memolivia in Old Sharlayan (X:11.9, Y:13.3) after fulfilling the following requirements:

• Complete the sidequest A Spellbinding Read.
• Defeat three unique bosses at the end of different routes (excluding the secret final boss) in the variant dungeon The Merchant's Tale.
• Be a Disciple of War or Magic level 100.

Bosses

Players may challenge the bosses in any order and will receive rewards after defeating each one. If the party clears all bosses, they will gain access to bonus loot.

Failing any boss mechanic will result in a Vulnerability Up debuff.

Stacks of 1, 4, or 12 coins (randomly selected) will spawn in the treasure coffer per player in the dungeon. All stacks have the same number of coins. For example, if the party has 3 players, then 3 equal-sized coin stacks will appear. All players can roll on each stack of coins. The coffer will be bronze if each stack is 1 coin, silver if 4 coins, or gold if 12 coins.

Drop rates in the treasure coffer are approximately:

• Stack size of 1 coins: 80%
• Stack size of 4 coins: 15%
• Stack size of 12 coins: 5%
