Dialogue

Quest Description

---

Azalai from Aaru Village seems to be troubled by one of his orders.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Azalai, optional)

Azalai: (Just think about all the trouble I have to go through for every batch of goods... *sigh*)

(Talk to Azalai)

Azalai: I'll have to ask Raef to find someone...

Why the long face?

Azalai: What are you looking to buy, Traveler? I'm afraid that we may be somewhat out of stock.

So that's what troubles you?

Azalai: Yes... This is a desert village, so shipment has always been troublesome for us.

Azalai: Whenever I want to source some wares, I need to ask those who happen to leave the village to place an order for me, then transport it to the village together with Raef.

Azalai: One way or another, my business costs are slowly rising. To make ends meet, I have no other choice than to increase my prices.

Azalai: Thankfully, the people of this village understand my predicament and are willing to support my business, otherwise... I would've gone bankrupt a long time ago.

Azalai: But, alas... I can't find anyone who's planning to leave the village, and Raef and his crew aren't always available...

Azalai: If I'm unlucky, some low-volume goods may be out of stock soon...

And those goods are...

Azalai: They are all daily essentials. Even though I'm usually quick to source them, they sell even quicker.

Azalai: I'm running a small business, so I can't always buy large volumes.

If only you could find a long-term business partner...

Azalai: It's not like I haven't considered that, but look around you.

Azalai: Shipping goods into the village and running business here aren't exactly easy.

Azalai: Ahem... that's a topic for another day. Traveler, perhaps you are getting ready to leave the village?

Spice Version

Azalai: I've been wanting to source some spices and need someone to place an order for me... Could you assist me with this?

Leave it to me.

So spices are out of stock in your store?

Azalai: I wouldn't say we've run out completely... but given how big the sales volumes are, it's always better to have some more in stock.

Azalai: Let me see... Rama's spices are fairly priced and the quality is... serviceable.

Azalai: Jut has recently got his hands on some novelty spices — the quality's quite promising. I'd like to give them a shot, just to see if there's any demand, but I'm not sure about the price point...

Azalai: But my budget for this purchase is limited, so deciding which supplier to choose isn't going to be easy...

Azalai: Traveler, please check out both suppliers and pick one to place an order with.

Azalai: Oh, one more thing. Whenever I commissioned someone to place an order for me in the past, I'd ask them to look for a relatively cheap price point.

Azalai: I'd like you to do the same. Please remember to look for the cheaper supplier.

Azalai: The business strategy that's been working in Aaru Village so far is "selling more at a lower profit margin."

I'll check out what Rama has to offer first...

Azalai: Thank you in advance. I'll mark her location on the map for you.

I'll check out what Jut has to offer first...

Azalai: Thank you in advance. I'll mark his location on the map for you.

Azalai: Alright, come back anytime if you have any additional questions.

(Obtain Azalai's Payment)

(Talk to Azalai again)

Azalai: How did it go? Have you placed an order yet?

About Rama's location...

Azalai: You can't find her exact location? Okay... I'll mark that spot on the map for you.

About Jut's location...

Azalai: You can't find his exact location? Okay... I'll mark that spot on the map for you.

Azalai: You should be good to go now. I'm counting on you, Traveler.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Rama, optional)

Rama: (It's difficult to do business...)

(Talk to Rama)

Rama: Welcome! Want to buy some spices? We have all the usuals, and all at affordable prices!

About Azalai's order...

Rama: Huh? Azalai asked you to place an order for him? No problem at all...

Rama: It's just that he used to ask the Eremites to source his goods, and this time, he commissioned an Adventurer...

Rama: Ahem! What's his budget today? Let's see... Ooh, quite a bit.

Rama: Uh, if you place an order at my store, the spices supplied by me should last him for a long while.

Rama: As for the selling price... Just like before, I suggest setting a slightly lower price point. That's an easy way to boost sales.

I'd like to place my order here.

Rama: Oh! Thanks for your patronage! Please wait a moment while I make preparations and arrange delivery.

(Obtain Rama's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Rama: Okay... Come back and tell me if you change your mind.

(Talk to Rama again)

Rama: Made up your mind yet? Want to place your order with me?

I'd like to place my order here.

Rama: Thanks for your patronage! Please wait a moment while I make preparations and arrange delivery.

(Obtain Rama's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Rama: Alright. But hurry up, please. If you wait too long, I may be out of stock.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Jut, optional)

Jut: (We're having fewer customers lately...)

(Talk to Jut)

Jut: Hi, are you shopping for spices?

About Azalai's order...

Jut: For this amount... He won't be able to buy much. However, my spices are worth a lot of Mora.

Jut: Well... Since it's his order, I'll add my two cents. As a friend, I don't really recommend him to buy from me.

Jut: From what I gathered about business in Aaru Village... I'd say that "selling more at a lower price point" is the way to go.

Jut: Simply put, it's about selling goods of passable quality for a relatively low price, and selling large quantities fast as a way to make a quick return on the invested capital.

Jut: Conversely, if he tries to sell expensive high-quality goods in Aaru Village, the return will be slow.

Jut: But this is just my opinion. It's up to him what kind of goods he decides to sell.

I'd like to order from you.

Jut: Alright. I'll go prepare the goods then.

(Obtain Jut's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Jut: All good. If you still want to order from me, feel free to come back anytime.

(Talk to Jut again)

Jut: How's it going? Made up your mind yet?

I'd like to order from you.

Jut: Alright. I'll go prepare the goods then.

(Obtain Jut's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Jut: I understand. We're talking about no small sums. Careful consideration is highly advised, indeed.

Dried Fish Version

Azalai: I've been wanting to source some Dried Fish and need someone to place an order for me... Could you assist me with this?

Leave it to me.

I thought everyone would dry fish on their own...

Azalai: Hahaha... Trust me, Traveler. Drying fish out in the desert is not a good idea...

Azalai: Let me see... Butrus' Dried Fish are fairly priced and the taste is... acceptable.

Azalai: Jahangir has been using a new Dried Fish recipe recently — people say that the flavor is really good thanks to all the spices.

Azalai: I'd like to give them a shot, just to see if there's any demand, but I'm not sure about the price point...

Azalai: But my budget for this purchase is limited, so deciding which supplier to choose isn't going to be easy...

Azalai: Traveler, please check out both suppliers and pick one to place an order with.

Azalai: Oh, one more thing. Whenever I commissioned someone to place an order for me in the past, I'd ask them to look for a relatively cheap price point.

Azalai: I'd like you to do the same. Please remember to look for the cheaper supplier.

Azalai: The business strategy that's been working in Aaru Village so far is "selling more at a lower profit margin."

Azalai: I'm counting on you, Traveler.

I'll check out what Butrus has to offer first...

I'll check out what Jahangir has to offer first...

Azalai: Thank you in advance. I'll mark his location on the map for you.

Azalai: Alright, come back anytime if you have any additional questions

(Obtain Azalai's Payment)

(Talk to Azalai again)

Azalai: How did it go? Have you placed an order yet?

About Butrus' location...

About Jahangir's location...

Azalai: You can't find his exact location? Okay... I'll mark that spot on the map for you.

Azalai: You should be good to go now. I'm counting on you, Traveler.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Butrus, optional)

Butrus: (I need to make more Dried Fish.)

(Talk to Butrus)

Butrus: Welcome! Are you looking for fish? Then you've come to the right place! There are no fish fresher than mine. Ask that cat over there if you don't believe me.

About Azalai's order...

Butrus: Huh... Azalai is looking to source some Dried Fish from me? No worries.

Butrus: This amount of Mora is enough to buy a large quantity of Dried Fish. It should last him for a while.

Butrus: Though my Dried Fish is... well... faithful to the original flavor! No spices or anything like that.

I'd like to place my order here.

Butrus: Alright! Hehe... I'll go pick out some Dried Fish and get someone to deliver his order to him in a bit.

(Obtain Butrus' Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Butrus: Huh? Fine... Go ahead and compare prices.

Butrus: But I can't really afford to give you another discount. I won't make any profit otherwise.

(Talk to Butrus again)

Butrus: What say you? Want to order Dried Fish from me?

I'd like to place my order here.

Butrus: Alright! Hehe... I'll go pick out some Dried Fish and get someone to deliver his order to him in a bit.

(Obtain Butrus' Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I'll try my luck elsewhere.

Butrus: Don't be too long or there won't be any Dried Fish left.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Jahangir, optional)

Jahangir: (I'm exhausted. I need to get some rest later...)

(Talk to Jahangir)

Jahangir: Welcome! Would you like to have a bite? Everything's freshly made.

About Azalai's order...

Jahangir: Ahaha, sure! I told him my Dried Fish is famous far and wide and will definitely sell for a good price.

Jahangir: This amount of Mora will get you some Dried Fish. Just say the word and I'll make a fresh batch for you.

You'll start drying it now?

Jahangir: Of course not! What I meant was going to my warehouse to take the Dried Fish out and seasoning them to elevate their flavor profile.

Jahangir: Wait a minute... With the cost considered, you won't be able to buy that much Dried Fish after all.

I'd like to place my order here.

Jahangir: Okay! I'll send one of my employees to deliver the order when I'm done making Dried Fish.

(Obtain Jahangir's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I—I'm going to look elsewhere...

Jahangir: Huh? No need to rush, the price is negotiable. Besides, you won't find such tasty Dried Fish anywhere else!

(Talk to Jahangir again)

Jahangir: Hey, have you decided yet? One word and I'll start prepping the everything.

I'd like to place my order here.

Jahangir: Okay! I'll send one of my employees to deliver the order when I'm done making Dried Fish.

(Obtain Jahangir's Receipt)

(Proceeds to next quest step)

I—I'm going to look elsewhere...

Jahangir: Huh? Didn't I say you wouldn't find such tasty Dried Fish elsewhere? There's not much to think about...

Ending

(Talk to Azalai)

Azalai: How's it going, Traveler? Did you place the order for me?

I did.

(Opens item selection screen)

You bring Azalai up to speed on sourcing goods

(If Rama's Receipt was submitted)

Azalai: Hm... Ordered from Rama's? Should be alright.

Azalai: Her spices are both cheap and of good quality, very popular with the people of this village. Once they arrive, selling them shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for your help, Traveler. This is your remuneration. And this Mora, please take it along, too.

Azalai: That miser Rama though... I've ordered so many times from her, and she never gave me a discount.

(If Jut's Receipt was submitted)

Azalai: Ordered from Jut's? Are the prices high? Well, I'll have to raise my price point to match the cost then.

Azalai: But these spices seem to be of very high quality. I should not worry about selling them...

Azalai: By the way, Traveler, this is your remuneration.

(If Butrus' Receipt was submitted)

Azalai: I see, the quality of Butrus' Dried Fish is always reliable, and the quantity... not bad at all.

Azalai: When the goods arrive, I'll have to send some to doctor Maruf as thanks for treating my leg injury last time.

Azalai: There's also Raef and Fodil, they helped me unload cargo...

Azalai: Ahem! Thanks for your help, Traveler. This is your remuneration. And this Mora, please take it along, too.

Azalai: Fortunately, you ordered from Butrus. Giving some Dried Fish away shouldn't be a problem considering the order quantity.

(If Jahangir's Receipt was submitted)

Azalai: Purchased from Jahangir? The price is... *gasp* How can it be so pricey? What spices does he use? Mora itself?

Azalai: It's nothing I can't handle. Worst case scenario, I'll cut the Dried Fish up and sell it that way.

Azalai: Ah... Um, here is your payment, Traveler. Thank you for your help.

Azalai: How many pieces can these be cut into?
