Listen up. Shh! This information is just for you, [%username]. When you go out of [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF5_SZ_OP_01], you will see [%dic:STR_DIC_W_DF5_SZ_A_01].

Since it used to be a sea, you will find many seashells on the beaches. Some people have even found rare red pearls in those shells....

Could you go to the beaches and check if there are any [%dic:STR_DIC_OBJ_DF5_FOBJ_pearlshell_Q25001]s, and possibly return with some pearls? When you've collected enough, take them to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF5_Danpaul_E] and see how much they're worth.

Accept Decline

Ah, [%username]! I heard you were in the area.

I'm glad to see you.

What do you have there in your hands?

"Gardon said to bring you these."

Gardon asked you to do what?

I wouldn't accept more requests like this, if I were you. There are a number of people here who are only interested in lining their own pockets.

Who knows if they have the Expedition's best interest at heart? This sounds like scheming for personal gain.

"Oh... I see."

If you have something to show me, I suggest you actually get it first.

"Right. On it."

Gardon asked you to do what?

I wouldn't accept more requests like this, if I were you. There are a number of people here who are only interested in lining their own pockets.

Who knows if they have the Expedition's best interest at heart? This sounds like scheming for personal gain.

"Oh. I see."

I doubt Gardon had any ill intent when he told you to see me about this. If he did, he wouldn't have thought to ask a scholar for valuation.

You see, scholars refrain from mixing professional and personal affairs, as the latter can often obstruct the path of knowledge. Therefore, we only assist with an appraisal when it's for the purpose of common gain.

I want to believe that Gardon did this purely for the Expedition's benefit, but I just am not sure. But, I'll make sure that this pearl is used for a good cause.

Obtain a [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_25001a] and take it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_DF5_Danpaul_E].

[%collectitem]

Obtain a Red Pearl as Gardon asked and take it to Danpaul.

Gardon said rare red pearls were found in shells on the Pentachroma Coast and asked you to look for some and take them to Danpaul for appraisal.

Danpaul said no one in the Expedition should seek personal gain, and he wanted to believe that Gardon's request was for the good of the Expedition rather than to satisfy his selfish greed, but he wasn't sure. So, he kept the pearls and promised to use them for a good cause.
