Dialogue[edit]
Hey there, cowboy! / Howdy! / Salutations! / Yo!
-
- Hello there, they call me Nia Sundance, a Qaddari escapee.
- I used to be just a tiny cog in the giant tech machine of Qaddari, crunching code till the wee hours.
- One day I decided I'd had enough of the sterile cubicles and the artificial glow of computer screens. So, I packed up my codes and hitched a ride to Goldenfield.
- Now, I've traded the hum of servers for the whisper of the wind, the virtual reality for the verdant reality, but old habits die hard, eh?
- I still code, more out of love than necessity, working remotely on fascinating projects, but on my own terms.
- And the best part? I do it while lounging under the open sky, getting high with nature's own gifts.
- It's a wild ride, from binary to botany, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
- Seeing that you're new, I could share a thing or two about something I discovered recently - Herbalism. It's so darn cool, man!
- You see, you'll be dealing with stuff from enormous, dense Kwalat bushes. These babies are like whole ecosystems living by their own rules.
- And let me tell you, the older and larger the bush, the more valuable the resources it hides.
- The bushes come in three tiers - Thick Buch, Old Bush, and Ancient Bush. The bigger, the more complex the life within, and thus, more expensive and rare the resources they can give you.
- You can get a whole lot of different things - Hazelnuts, Jute, Silkworm Caterpillars, Fragrant Roots.
- Blue Lotus, Six-Leaf Clover, Carnivorous Plant, and my personal favourite - Magic Weeds. They're not as common, though.
- Petrified Spikes are quite rare. They're prickly little buggers. And if you ever come across a Ranbow Snail, well, that's something. They are super rare around these parts.
- I usually find these bushes in Skylight Grasslands and the Sunweave Glade. There are lots more in Windreach Woods and Dusktide Forest, but I don't go there - those places make me nervous. In Westwind Woods, you'll only find rocks.
- Once, I found a lonely little bush in the Goldenfield fields.
- Just near my crib, you'll find a crafting bench. That's why I chose this spot, man.
- You can work on Cloth, Composite Material, Organic Gel, and Natural Oil. And, let me tell you, the Natural Oil is fantastic for your skin.
-
- Living the dream, cowboy!
- I'm on Cloud 9, literally and metaphorically.
- Just surfing the cosmic waves of code and consciousness.
-
- Goldenfield? It's paradise, man!
- Fresh air, clean code, and a joint of the good stuff.
- It's like living inside a Bob Ross painting.

- Need a little favor, if you're game. / Sure thing, could use some help. / Yeah, got a tiny quest for you.
- Look, I need to focus on my meditation, but my skin is screaming for a Natural Oil face mask.
- You can often find Hazelnuts hidden in the bushes around. If you could find some and turn them into Natural Oil, you'd truly be saving my day!
- Not only would it help my poor skin, but it's also a great way to learn about Herbalism.
- And trust me, Natural Oil is pure gold. It's like a hundred spa treatments in one tiny bottle!
- I'll make sure your efforts are well rewarded!
- [A Nutty Favor]
- You're incredible!
- Remember to process those Hazelnuts into Natural Oil at the crafting table.
-
- No worries. Maybe some other time then? / Not your thing, huh? That's all right. Peace! / Oh, that's a bummer. But it's cool, I totally get it.

- Need a little favor, if you're game. / Sure thing, could use some help. / Yeah, got a tiny quest for you.
- You see, I've got this project. It's a spaghetti code monster, a real Hydra. Cut one bug and two more spawn.
- It's what you get when folks don't use Test-Driven Development from the get-go.
- The logic's all entangled, like vines in a jungle, and just as wild. Which makes it kinda exciting. But boy, does it need a focus boost to untangle.
- That's where this plant, the Transparent Leaf, comes in. It's not just your average psychedelic, it gives a helluva focus boost. Turns the jungle into a zen garden.
- Now, about fetchin' those leaves. You won't find 'em at your local plant nursery. I hear tell they grow on some rare trees in the woods around these parts.
- So how 'bout it? Up for a little adventure, cowboy?
-
- You're the best! Thanks a heap!
- Don't forget, those Transparent Leaves won't just be lying around. You'll need to look for the rare trees they grow on.
-
- Aye, it s the wild west out there. / Bummer, guess I'll keep spacing out. / No problemo, happy trails.
- [If not completed A Nutty Favor or accepted Focus Fuel]
- All good in the hood, no quests for you. / No gigs for now, just chilling. / Nah, fully operational here.
- [If not completed A Nutty Favor]
- Any luck with those Hazelnuts? No rush, just curious! / How's the Herbalism going? Got the Natural Oil yet? / Remember, it's all about the process. Take your time.
-
- Ah, just what the doctor ordered! This Natural Oil is perfect. And look at you, getting your feet wet in Herbalism. Good on ya!
- [If accepted Focus Fuel]
- Don't let those leaves leaf you behind. / Keep an eye out for those shiny leaves. / Transparent Leaves are the key, cowboy.
- [If completed Focus Fuel]
- You're my hero! Let's code and roll.
