Helping the shop people
In Halgiti, talk to Owen the old Nightwhisper next to Michelle on the first floor directly opposite the entrance. He will tell you to help the shop people. Perform the following tasks to help the shop people:
- To help the item lady, give her 3 Lenteso Wood. You can get them from the Lumpers on the mine floor in Seraphic Gate.
- To help the Armorer, kill the lizards outside Halgiti next to the teleporter to Kolton.
- To help the Weaponsmithm, give him 150,000 FOL.
After that, they will sell better items and weapons but will get rid of some of the old ones. Make sure you buy 99 Silver Metal from the item lady before giving her the Lenteso Wood, and any other items you may require. The item lady sells these once you have given her the Lenteso Wood:
- Cloths: Linen Cloth, Cotton Cloth, Bark Cloth, Ramie Cloth, Kenaf Cloth, Buffalo Hide, Silver Fox Fur, Rabbit Hide
- Metals: Gold Metal, Titanium Metal, Bronze Metal, Hearth Stone, Metatite, Metal Fragment
