Walkthrough

• Talk to Wahid in Bastok Markets (S) (J-9) and he will ask for an Aquamarine, a Sunstone and a Jadeite.
• Trade him the stones, and you'll be prompted with a choice in CS.
  • He offers you 50,000 gil for all 3 stones.
  • "On second thought..."
• Whichever option you choose, you'll get to watch a lover's quarrel between Wahid (S) and his wife Swantje. After that he tells you that the deal is on hold.
  • Once the CS is over, you get all three gems back.
• Zone out and back. Talk to him again to find his wife never returned; he asks that you find out why.
• Zone in to North Gustaberg (S) for a small CS, dealing with a guard who heard a woman's scream which he thought was a ghost. After this, head to (J-4/J-5 line, south east corner along the wall) (near the entrance to Palborough Mines be careful there are goblins around J-5). Against the wall in some bushes examine the ??? for a CS.
  • It is possible to get a different cutscene here, one that starts the quest Better Part of Valor. If so, zone back in and out of town again to get the correct one.
• Check the ??? a second time for an Unadorned ring (Key Item).
• Return to Wahid for a CS and multiple choices:
  • To show him the Unadorned ring or not to.
  • To tell him the bad news or not to.
• Zone then talk to Wahid again for a short CS and your reward.
