10TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SEQ_00Momodi, the proprietress of the Quicksand, wants you to perform three tasks that will help you learn the fundamentals of adventuring.
21TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SEQ_01Momodi has given you three tasks to perform. Should you encounter any citizens who seem to be in need of help as you make your way around Ul'dah, why not offer your services?
32TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SEQ_02You have completed all three tasks. Report back to Momodi at the Quicksand.
43TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SEQ_03Momodi explains that the three locations you visited will feature prominently in your adventuring life. Heed well her advice, and travel further afield as your experience grows.

4948TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_1Before you go chargin' off to find your fortune, I've a few basic tasks I'd like you to perform so as to help you get to know the place.
5049TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_2First of all, I want you to visit the aetheryte plaza. To get there, head west from here till you reach Emerald Avenue, then look to the north. You should see a giant, floatin' crystal called an aetheryte.
5150TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_3If it weren't for aetherytes, travelin' around Eorzea would be a damn sight more troublesome than it is. 'Course, you still need to attune with 'em before you can use 'em, so be sure to do that with the one in the plaza. You ever attuned with an aetheryte before, Player? If not, just lay your hand on the thing and you'll see what I mean.
5251TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_4When you've done that, I want you to pay a visit to the Gladiators' Guild, over at the Coliseum.
5352TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_5Assumin' that sword ain't just for show, you might consider trainin' there.
5453TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_6And finally, I want you to visit the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, over on the Steps of Thal.
5554TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_7Goods from all across Eorzea and beyond turn up there every day. You'll have no trouble findin' armor, weapons, or anythin' else a fledglin' adventurer like yourself might need.
5655TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_8You might say that *everythin's* for sale here in Ul'dah─as long as you've got the gil.
5756TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_9Just make sure as you don't pay more than you ought, Player.
5857TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_10There's plenty as won't scruple to swindle unsuspectin' foreigners like yourself, 'specially if they think no one's lookin' out for their best interests.
5958TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_11Which is why I'm givin' you this letter. When you visit the exchange, find a gentleman named Seseroga and give it to him. He'll be happy to tell you about the markets once he's read it.
6059TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_12In short, then: visit the aetheryte plaza, the Gladiators' Guild, and the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Simple.
6160TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_13Oh, but before you go, a word of advice: while there're more than a few unsavory characters out there who'll try to take advantage of you, there are also some with honest-to-goodness problems who you should consider offerin' a helpin' hand to.
6261TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_14A lot of folk are lured to this city by the promise of wealth and power. What many of 'em fail to realize is that instead of chasin' after gil the moment they get here, they ought to be makin' friends.
6362TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_15Let it be known that you're willin' to give as much as you get, and opportunities will come your way.
6463TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_16Speakin' of which, you should speak with the Smith over yonder─those lads always have some good advice for up-and-comin' adventurers. Otherwise, that's about it from me. It's past time you got goin'. Oh, and let me know when you've finished, will you? That way, I won't spend my days worryin' that you're down to your smallclothes without a gil to your name.
6564TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_20Welcome to the Gladiators' Guild, friend!
6665TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_21Tell me, are you new to the thrills of mortal combat? Well, whether you are or not, you are new to us!
6766TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_22If you would take your place in these hallowed halls, you must be willing and ready to undergo the most rigorous training. You must endure cuts and bruises beyond counting, and like as not far worse.
6867TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_23A daunting prospect, I concede─but there is no other way if you mean to take to the bloodsands one day. And why wouldn't you? The Coliseum is only the most celebrated place of public entertainment in all of Ul'dah!
6968TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_24Where else could a poor man amass a fortune so vast as to one day allow him to claim a seat on the Syndicate?
7069TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_25Ahhh...there's not an Ul'dahn alive who isn't inspired by the rise of the self-made man.
7170TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_26And there is no truer embodiment of this than the gladiator who wins riches and fame with his sword.
7271TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_27Throughout its long and storied history, this guild has nurtured countless champions.
7372TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_28Our training methods are second to none, and our members ever strive to develop new techniques.
7473TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_29If you desire true glory─to fight and triumph, 'midst the roar of ten thousand voices─then this is where you belong, adventurer.
7574TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_LULUTSU_000_30...Think of it. Think of your legacy. And if your soul stirs...join us.
7675TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_40Hail, adventurer! Might you have come at the behest of Miss Momodi of the Quicksand?
7776TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_41Excellent. Which brings us to the matter of the attunement fee─that will be one hundred thousand gil, if you please, madam.
7877TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_42...AHAHAHAHAHA! Apologies, but I do so relish the opportunity to make that jest. The look on your face was absolutely priceless! Ah, but the fact that you were so easily deceived suggests to me that you are unfamiliar with the use of aetherytes. Allow me to explain.
7978TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_43These crystalline agglomerations tap into aetherial energies, and are primarily used as a means to travel swiftly from one place to another.
8079TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_44Perchance you have heard of Return and Teleport? Well, these transportation spells make direct use of the aetherytes and their connection to the flow of aether.
8180TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_45Given that there is an aetheryte in almost every corner of Eorzea, any adventurer with a mind to explore the realm will wish to seek out and attune herself to each and every one!
8281TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_46But even if you have no intention of wandering beyond the sultanate's borders, it would be prudent for you to attune yourself to any aetherytes you encounter from now on.
8382TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_NENEBARU_000_47I pray you found that informative. Should you wish to learn more about aetherytes or transportation magic, I should be happy to answer your questions.
8483TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SYSTEM_000_48You attune with the aetheryte. You are now able to use the Return spell!
8584TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_50And you are? ...Ho, a newly come adventurer. But of course. Yes, I am Seseroga. What can I do for you?
8685TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_51Ah, you would have me teach you the ways of the marketplace? Very wise. As for my fee... What? You expect me to do it for *free*!? Surely you jest.
8786TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_52My dear adventurer, when you ask an Ul'dahn for a favor, you should at least *try* to make it worth his while. Judging by your garb, I rather doubt you could afford my services, but the fact you offer nothing is laughable.
8887TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_53Oh. Mistress Momodi instructed you to seek me out, did she? Hmph. Consider yourself fortunate to have such influential friends.
8988TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_54I shall be brief, and you shall be attentive.
9089TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_55You stand in the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, the busiest and most profitable marketplace in the sultanate.
9190TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_56Being advantageously situated in relation to the other city–states, Ul'dah's markets have ever served as both the literal and figurative centers of Eorzean commerce.
9291TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_57All the great overland trade routes lead to our city, and the majority of maritime trade between Vylbrand and Aldenard passes through our ports.
9392TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_58Because of this, countless companies and consortia have chosen Ul'dah as their base of operations. They see to it that this marketplace is awash with merchants and moneylenders, day and night.
9493TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_59Anything a man could ever desire can be purchased here─provided as he has sufficient funds.
9594TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_60Surely there's something you seek, adventurer? A deadlier sword, perhaps, or a shinier trinket? Whatever it is you want, the exchange will have it.
9695TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_61To the north, you will find merchants peddling armor and accessories, curatives and crafting materials.
9796TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_62And to the south, you will find weapons, tools, and an assortment of other useful items for sale.
9897TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_63Seek out a particular merchant, or browse to your heart's content. But do try to remain aloof should you find something that piques your interest. Decisions made in the heat of the moment are usually unwise, especially where coin is concerned.
9998TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_64Ahem. That is all the complimentary aid you shall have from me─and *far too much* for my taste.
10099TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_SESEROGA_000_65My regards to Momodi. Now, off with you!
101100TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_70How was your tour of the city, Player? Get lost, did you?
102101TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_71Aye, well, Ul'dah's a big place with lots to see and do─but wanderin' around aimlessly don't pay the bills. If you're serious about makin' a livin' here, you'll need to remember where things are.
103102TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_72So when you go explorin', explore like you've got a purpose, eh?
104103TEXT_MANWIL002_00568_MOMODI_000_73All right, then! All that's left is for you to work hard, make money, and spend it here at the Quicksand!
