Dialogue[]

Quest Description

Herb grower Vardan and his son Gurgen are distressed by something...
(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Vardan, optional)
Vardan: (I gotta think of something...)
(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Gurgen, optional)
Gurgen: (What's the problem with the rose!)
(Talk to Gurgen or Vardan)
Gurgen: We can't go on like this, Father. The roses are not growing well.
Vardan: We must work out something quick, or we won't be able to deliver all the herbs on time this year!
Gurgen: The soil is good. We've disposed of the weeds and pests. So what's going on here?
What's bothering you?
Vardan: Oh? Are you here to buy herbs?
Vardan: Well, we send batches of herbs to Bimarstan at regular intervals.
Vardan: The most important herb of all is the special "Sumeru Rose".
Roses can be used as medicine?
Vardan: That's a question you need to direct toward the doctors at Bimarstan.
Vardan: They say the rose can be used in tandem with other medicines to cure heatstroke and soothe stomachaches, and that it even has some other benefits... none of which I recall at the moment.
In that case, I'll help you out.
Vardan: We would be most grateful!
(Continues to one of the following sections)
What's wrong with this rose?
Vardan: For some reason, it is growing incredibly slowly.
Vardan: Our experience tells us that this is usually either a soil or a pest problem.
Vardan: But we have planted other herbs here using using the same soil, and those have grow up just fine.
Gurgen: We also perform pest control every day. So it can't be the pests...
Gurgen: This is no time to get obsessed with the possibilities. Any more stalling, and we won't be able to deliver the roses to Bimarstan on time.
Vardan: Our current plan is to fertilize the soil with a special fertilizer.
Vardan: But we need to take care of other fields at the same time. As such, we haven't any time left to collect materials for the fertilizer.
Vardan: Traveler, for the sake of the patients at Bimarstan, would you please do us this favor?
I will.
Vardan: We would be most grateful!
Vardan: Let's see. Our current situation is...
(Continues to one of the following sections)

Watering the Roses Version[]

Vardan: Soil fertility aside, perhaps "water" might also be a problem...
Vardan: Maybe we buried the rose so deep that it couldn't get enough water?
Vardan: Traveler, could you help us water the rose, please?
(Talk to Vardan and Gurgen again)
Vardan: Traveler, please help us water the nearby roses.
Gurgen: With enough water, the roses will definitely start growing again!
(Talk to Vardan and Gurgen after watering the roses)
Vardan: Whew... The soil should have enough moisture for now.
Gurgen: Many thanks, Traveler. We could have been all tuckered out by now if it wasn't for you.
Vardan: Strange... It took so much water to permeate the soil thoroughly this time.
Vardan: I felt like we used at least twice as much water as usual.
Gurgen: That can't be. Maybe you're just too tired.
Gurgen: If we really had doubled the amount of water, the soil would be soaked. But see, the moisture levels seem normal.
Vardan: I guess so...
Well, I hope the roses will grow well.
Vardan: No worries. We will take good care of the roses for the sake of the patients and doctors at Bimarstan.
Vardan: Traveler, take these as our thanks, please.
Vardan: Still, I really feel like we used a lot more water than usual this time...

Special Fertilizer Version[]

(Continue from the first section or talk to Vardan after leaving the submission menu)
Vardan: We'll need a lot of special fertilizer.
Vardan: We have some reserves of other ingredients for this type of special fertilizer, but we have run out of Harra Fruit.
Vardan: Traveler, could we trouble you to get us some Harra Fruits?
(Submit Harra Fruit ×3)
Vardan: These will do the trick. Thank you so much, Traveler!
Vardan: With this special fertilizer, the fertility of the soil shouldn't be a problem, and the rose will surely grow well.
Gurgen: Let's hope they'll actually take effect this time, unlike the ones we've used before.
You've tried using fertilizers before already?
Vardan: We did use some ordinary ones. They didn't work well... Well, they didn't work at all.
Gurgen: But they did amazingly in the other fields. Honestly, I wonder what's going on here...
Vardan: Well, we shan't keep you any further. Take these as our thanks, please.

Trivia[]

  • It is implied the reason the "flower" won't grow is because it isn't a normal flower at all — a closer inspection at the plant Gurgen and Vardan are growing reveals it is a Mist Flower. Mist and Flaming Flowers require elemental energy to grow.
