It's recommended to have 6100 gold on you before you attempt to complete this sidequest, as one of the characters you'll speak to during this quest is a merchant who sells two items that are used for exploration. The items aren't missable, it's just that the merchant moves around after you complete the quest, traveling to random positions across the entire game world (including places you've not gotten to yet). She isn't marked on the map, so it's very annoying if you need to track her down. | ||
