Howdy!

NPC

Hey there, cowboy! Don't tell Maxwell I called you cowboy.

NPC

Yo!

NPC

Salutations!

NPC

Bless up!

NPC

Bring anything good?

NPC

Whatcha smoking?

NPC

Peace, dude!

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.

NPC

You wanna get fully certified in herbalism?

NPC

Perfect, man. My skin is screaming for a Natural Oil face mask.

NPC

You can find Hazelnuts hidden in the bushes around here. If you could find some and turn them into Natural Oil, you'd truly save my day!

NPC

Not only would it help my poor skin, but it's also a great way to learn about Herbalism.

NPC

Oh, that's a bummer. But it's cool, I totally get it.

NPC

No worries. Maybe some other time then?

NPC

Nah, fully operational here.

NPC

No gigs for now, just chilling.

NPC

All good in the hood, no quests for you.

NPC

Need a little favour, if you're game.

NPC

Sure thing, could use some help.

NPC

Yeah, got a tiny quest for you.

NPC

One day I decided I’d had enough of the sterile cubicles and the artificial screens. I packed up my computer and hitched a ride to Goldenfield and met Maxwell.

NPC

Fresh air, clean code, and plenty of joints of the good stuff.

NPC

Goldenfield? It’s paradise, man! Especially looking up at Maxwell.

NPC

I came here to get away from the Quaddari, but now they're coming right to me.

NPC

Well, I was - thanks to the artifacts popping up around here, folks from all over are showing up.

NPC

Living the dream, cowboy!

NPC

So how 'bout it? Up for a little adventure, cowboy?

NPC

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.

NPC

The logic's all entangled, like vines in a jungle. Which makes it kinda exciting. But boy, do I need a focus boost to untangle it.

NPC

It’s what you get when folks don't use Test-Driven Development from the get-go.

NPC

I’ve got this project. It’s a spaghetti code monster, a real Hydra. Fix one bug and two more spawn.

NPC

Oh, you want to learn herbalism? Far out, man.

NPC

Aye, it’s the wild west out there.

NPC

No problemo, happy trails.

NPC

Bummer, guess I’ll keep spacing out.

NPC

Now, about fetching 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.

NPC

Just near my crib, you'll find a crafting bench. That's why I chose this spot, man.

NPC

There are lots more in Windreach Woods and Dusktide Forest, but I don’t go there - those places make me nervous.

NPC

I usually search bushes in Skylight Grasslands and the Sunweave Glade.

NPC

Petrified Spikes are really rare! They're prickly little buggers. And if you ever come across a Rainbow Snail, they're super rare around these parts.

NPC

Blue Lotus, Six-leaf Clovers, Carnivorous Plants, and my personal favourite - Magic Weeds. They’re not as common, though.

NPC

You can get a whole lot of different things - Hazelnuts, Jute, Silkworm Caterpillars, Fragrant Roots...

NPC

That's a tip for dating too, hot stuff.

NPC

And let me tell you, the older and larger the bush, the more valuable the resources it hides.

NPC

Bushes come in three tiers - Thick Bushes, Old Bushes, and your mama's! No, I'm kidding. Ancient Bushes.

NPC

You'll be dealing with stuff from enormous, dense Kwalat bushes. These babies are like whole ecosystems.

NPC

It can be pretty frustrating, but the uh... special herbs around here help.

NPC

Seeing that you're new, I should share something I discovered recently - Herbalism. It's so darn cool, man!

NPC

And the best part? I do it while lounging under the open sky, getting high on nature's own... gifts.

NPC

I still code, more out of love than necessity. I work remotely on fascinating projects, but on my own terms.

NPC

I traded the hum of servers for the whisper of the wind, the virtual reality for the lush reality.

NPC

I'll make sure your efforts are well rewarded!

NPC

It's like living inside a Rob Boss painting while Maxwell lives inside me.

NPC

Used to be a tiny cog in the giant tech machine of Qaddari, crunching code till the wee hours.

NPC

They call me Nia Sundance.

NPC

Not your thing, huh? That's all right. Peace!

NPC

So for now, I'm just surfing the cosmic waves of code and consciousness.

NPC

And trust me, Natural Oil is pure gold. It's like a hundred spa treatments in one tiny bottle!

NPC

And hey, dating tip: the older and larger the bush, the more valuable the resources it hides. Just ask Maxwell.
