Walkthrough

• Talk to Wahid in Bastok Markets (S) (J-9) and he will ask for an Aquamarine, a Sunstone and a Jadeite.
• Trade him the stones, and you'll be prompted with a choice in CS.
  • He offers you 50,000 gil for all 3 stones.
  • "On second thought..."
• Whichever option you choose, you'll get to watch a lover's quarrel between Wahid and Swantje, his wife. After that he tells you that the deal is on hold. Once the CS is over, you get all three gems back.
• Zone out and back. Talk to him again to find his wife never returned; he asks that you find out why.
• Zone in to North Gustaberg (S) for a small CS. It is possible to get a different cutscene here, one that starts the quest Better Part of Valor. If so, zone back in and out of town again to get the correct one. After this, head to (J-4/J-5 line, south east corner along the wall) (near the entrance to Palborough Mines). Against the wall in some bushes examine the ??? for a CS.
  • Check the ??? a second time for an Unadorned ring (Key Item).
• Return to Wahid for a CS and multiple choices:
  • To show him the Unadorned ring or not to.
  • To tell him the bad news or not to.
• Zone then talk to Wahid again for a short CS and your reward.
