🟠 Due Diligence

📖 Description — Lv. 1 Sidequest; Wymond. Wymond would like to know what you think of Ul'dah.

————————————

Wymond "So, how're you takin' to Ul'dah, FN? Make any new friends in high places yet? Hah! Well, when you have the sultana's ear one day, I hope you won't have forgotten about ol' Wymond!

Long as you're here, mayhap you can do me a favor an' take this missive to Josias at the Platinum Mirage.

It's just over yonder, an' the man'll even give you some gil for your trouble. If only all work in the city was this easy, eh?"

* In the pugilists' guild hall, Josias stands behind a counter with the guild receptionist.

Josias "Do you have business with the Platinum Mirage this morning?"

Josias "A missive from Wymond? Alright then, let's have a look...

"Bird is barren. Let the hounds feast." <sigh> So it goes.

Oh, this? Well you see, the guild is often contracted to provide protective services. Unfortunately for this particular petitioner, Wymond's investigation has revealed his finances to be...wanting.

Maybe adventurers like you don't mind working for free, but we have a business to run. I myself have four mouths to feed, so this bird will have to fend for himself, I'm afraid."

* Quest Complete

💬 Flavor text in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald from East to West (part 3, Emerald Avenue)

About halfway around the street

————————————

* Wymond's flavor text is available only after you take his sidequest 🟠"Due Diligence." Wymond "Keeping that coinpurse bulging, are we? They say the streets of Ul'dah are made o' gold, but it's piles o' gil what pave your way."

💬 Proximity dialogue (1) Female Twin: "All hail the sultana!" Male Twin: "The city's alive once again!"

💬 Proximity dialogue (2) Shop Crier: "Custom embroidery on all purchases! Shop attendant: "One size fits all or half your money back!" * Amusing because with the player clothes for sale, one size really does fit all.

* Now passing the aetheryte plaza - ◾back to MSQ?

Skywatcher "A wise woman once said that she who does not pay heed to the skies will most surely get wet. Sound advice if you ask me. Would you like to hear what the skies tell us this fine day?

* An expansive weather forecast for the realm is displayed.

————————————

* At the Hall of the Immortal Flames

Mimio Mio "The flame is not the fuel, praise the Traders. The Immortal Flames depend not on any one soldier—not even Raubahn Aldynn. Low it may burn at times, but as long as there are men willing to serve, it is forever."

Hunt Billmaster "The marks posted on the Hunt board are not for the faint of heart or slow of sword-arm. Only those of proven ability to dodge death need apply."

Flame Mage "I am the official charged with the bestowal of sanction upon our members. As you are not one of us, I am afraid you cannot avail yourself of these services."

Swift, Flame Commander "We Immortal Flames fight to protect Ul'dah from all who would threaten her.

Ever do we swear to uphold our oath: for coin and country!"

* Behind the important-looking desk.

Flame Quartermaster "Only members of the Immortal Flames are allowed to exchange flame seals for goods and services."

Flame Personnel Officer "You stand within the Hall of Flames, the burning heart of operations for the Immortal Flames. We're always seeking kindred souls possessed of unquenchable spirit to join our cause.

I sense something of a fire within you, but it flickers as candlelight. Stoke this inner fire till it becomes a raging inferno, and we can speak again of your part in the Immortal Flames."

* System: In order to join a Grand Company, you must progress further in the main scenario.

💬 Proximity dialogue Young Boy: "I want another honey cake!" Male Guardian: "And I said no!"

Agnys "I had no idea that the Platinum Mirage was such an exclusive establishment. That they can afford to turn away wealthy individuals like myself speaks volumes.

It's probably for the best, though. An old acquaintance of mine lost everything in the gambling halls. Last I heard, she had run afoul of some dangerous people─or was it that she had fallen in with them? I can't seem to recall…"

Rand "Can't say I much care for the ridiculous uniforms those blokes over there at the Hall of Flames have to wear.

If you fancy sporting the same blue duds, though, you could always enlist. The Immortal Flames take everyone—even foreigners."

————————————

* At the Platinum Mirage

(Across the street from the Hall of the Immortal Flames.)

💬 Proximity dialogue Peacocking Man: "Took down three opponents today, I did." Girl-simp: "How would you like to take down one more...?" Gullible Babe: "And not a single scratch? Incredible!"

💬 Proximity dialogue Monocled Attendant: "Lookin' to borrow some coin, maybe?" Mammet: "BlOoD! MaImInG! FuN fOr YoUnG☆aNd☆OlD!"

Essylt "The gambling halls of the Platinum Mirage are as an oasis of fortune—a glimmering, silvery dream to which one cannot help but be drawn.

Beyond these doors are found fantastical amusements and thrilling games of chance to delight and entertain…assuming you are part of our exclusive membership.

I regret to announce that this most privileged club is not currently open for applications. But do not lose heart! Hoard your gil and pile your precious stones in preparation for that day when a position opens, and you, [sir/miss], might purchase the right to stride across the threshold into paradise itself."

————————————

* Pugilists' Guild

* Under the same street-front as the Mirage, the entrance to the Pugilist's guild sits in a deeper recess, down some stairs.

💬 Pugilist's Guild flavor text TBA

————————————

* Jajakuta's flavor text is available only after you take his sidequest, 🟠"Tougher Than Leather." Jajakuta "Did you ever wonder why the Pugilists' Guild is found next to the Platinum Mirage? The casino hires the members to watch over their elite clientele. But not to keep them. No, they are there to see to it the wealthy patrons do not cheat the house."

MSQ 0.3 [Tutorial, Ul'dah]

* The gates open onto a bustling street and an important-looking building. As you take your time to look around, some dude to your right calls out to you.

??? "Oi, 'venturer! Over here!" He points at you. "Aye, I mean you. Fresh off the carriage, by any chance? Eh? How can I tell? Heh!"

Wymond "Name's Wymond, an' my business is known' every bugger else's!

Now then, what if I was to offer you some invaluable advice by way of welcome to our fair city? Free of charge, even—just this once, like."

💬 If you run too far from him Wymond "Don't be like that, friend! I promise I'll make it worth your while!"

———————————— 🟠 Coming to Ul'dah Lv. 1 📖 Description To be recognized as an adventurer in the city-state of Ul'dah, you must register yourself with the Adventurers' Guild. ————————————

Wymond "'Tis plain to anyone with eyes that you don't know your way around here.

If I let you go wanderin' off down the nearest dark alley, you're certain to get mugged or worse, an' I don't want that on my conscience.

So before you do anythin' else, you'll want to head over to the Quicksand, an' speak with Momodi. She's the master of the Adventurers' Guild, an' can set you on the right path."

* You follow his gaze over to that towering building.

Wymond "Just take those steps over yonder an' pass through the double doors. You'll find her inside.

...An' that's as much as you're gettin' for free. Good luck with the adventurin', adventurer."
