10TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SEQ_00Momodi, the proprietress of the Quicksand, wants you to perform three tasks that will help you learn the fundamentals of adventuring.
21TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_SEQ_02You have completed all three tasks. Report back to Momodi at the Quicksand.
43TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_4When you've done that, I want you to pay a visit to the Thaumaturges' Guild, over at Arrzaneth Ossuary.
5352TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_5Assumin' that scepter ain't just for show, you might consider trainin' there.
5453TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_6And finally, I want you to visit the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, over on the Steps of Thal.
5554TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_8You might say that *everythin's* for sale here in Ul'dah─as long as you've got the gil.
5756TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_9Just make sure as you don't pay more than you ought, Player.
5857TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_12In short, then: visit the aetheryte plaza, the Thaumaturges' Guild, and the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Simple.
6160TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_15Let it be known that you're willin' to give as much as you get, and opportunities will come your way.
6463TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_20Welcome to the Thaumaturges' Guild. It is fate that has guided your steps here this day, friend. I see that you harbor arcane ambitions...though your journey has scarcely begun.
6665TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_21Within these hallowed halls, the arts of devastation are taught─primeval magicks with which to bring about an enemy's ruin.
6766TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_22If you would join our ranks and wield such power, you must needs know of our beginnings.
6867TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_23The nation of Ul'dah inherited its traditions from ancient Belah'dia, a city founded by the descendants of the first mages.
6968TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_24The secrets of these illustrious sorcerers were ultimately entrusted to the priests of the Order of Nald'thal, who have passed them down from generation to generation ever since.
7069TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_25Focused and refined over centuries of use in the Order's funereal rites, the arcane magicks of our ancestors eventually emerged as the art we now know as thaumaturgy.
7170TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_26A freezing blizzard to halt corruption; a raging fire to cleanse the corpse; a bolt of lightning to expel the sins of mortal life... The dweomers employed in the preparation of the dead are equally efficacious when applied to the living.
7271TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_27It is for this reason that we are feared and respected in equal measure. Thus does our guild thrive, ensconced in the catacombs of Arrzaneth Ossuary─a sanctuary devoted to Thal, divine arbiter of the afterlife.
7372TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_28What say you, then, adventurer? If you would plumb the abyssal depths of thaumaturgy, let our learned sages guide your descent!
7473TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_YAYAKE_000_29Ah, but before you leap into the darkness, you must prove to our guildmasters that you are possessed of the spiritual fortitude necessary to look upon that which waits therein. When you are ready to submit to the judgment of our most eminent mages, say the word.
7574TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_NENEBARU_000_40Hail, adventurer! Might you have come at the behest of Miss Momodi of the Quicksand?
7675TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_NENEBARU_000_41Excellent. Which brings us to the matter of the attunement fee─that will be one hundred thousand gil, if you please, madam.
7776TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
7877TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_NENEBARU_000_43These crystalline agglomerations tap into aetherial energies, and are primarily used as a means to travel swiftly from one place to another.
7978TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
8079TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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!
8180TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
8281TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
8382TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SYSTEM_000_48You attune with the aetheryte. You are now able to use the Return spell!
8483TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_50And you are? ...Ho, a newly come adventurer. But of course. Yes, I am Seseroga. What can I do for you?
8584TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
8685TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
8786TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_53Oh. Mistress Momodi instructed you to seek me out, did she? Hmph. Consider yourself fortunate to have such influential friends.
8887TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_54I shall be brief, and you shall be attentive.
8988TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_55You stand in the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, the busiest and most profitable marketplace in the sultanate.
9089TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
9190TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
9291TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
9392TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_59Anything a man could ever desire can be purchased here─provided as he has sufficient funds.
9493TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
9594TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_61To the north, you will find merchants peddling armor and accessories, curatives and crafting materials.
9695TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_62And to the south, you will find weapons, tools, and an assortment of other useful items for sale.
9796TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
9897TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_64Ahem. That is all the complimentary aid you shall have from me─and *far too much* for my taste.
9998TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_SESEROGA_000_65My regards to Momodi. Now, off with you!
10099TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_70How was your tour of the city, Player? Get lost, did you?
101100TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_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.
102101TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_72So when you go explorin', explore like you've got a purpose, eh?
103102TEXT_MANWIL004_00570_MOMODI_000_73All right, then! All that's left is for you to work hard, make money, and spend it here at the Quicksand!
