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

What are you smoking?

NPC

Peace, mate!

Nia Sundance
NPC

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 want to get fully certified in herbalism?

NPC

Perfect, mate. My skin is crying out 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 make 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 unfortunate. But it's fine, I totally understand.

NPC

No worries. Maybe some other time then?

NPC

Nah, fully operational here.

NPC

No jobs for now, just relaxing.

NPC

All good here, no quests for you.

NPC

Need a little favour, if you're up for it.

NPC

Sure thing, could do with some assistance.

NPC

Yeah, got a small 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, mate! 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 about 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 massive focus boost. Turns the jungle into a zen garden.

NPC

The logic's all tangled up, like vines in a jungle. Which makes it kind of exciting. But crikey, 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 start.

NPC

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

NPC

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

NPC

Aye, it's the wild west out there.

NPC

No problem, happy trails.

NPC

Bummer, guess I'll keep spacing out.

NPC

Now, about fetching those leaves. You won't find them at your local plant nursery. I hear they grow on some rare trees in the woods around these parts.

NPC

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

NPC

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

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 here.

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, attractive one.

NPC

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

NPC

Bushes come in three tiers - Thick Bushes, Old Bushes, and your mothers! No, I'm joking. Ancient Bushes.

NPC

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

NPC

It can be quite 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 absolutely brilliant, mate!

NPC

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

NPC

I still code, more out of passion 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 within me.

NPC

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

NPC

They call me Nia Sundance.

NPC

Not your thing, is it? 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 conceals. Just ask Maxwell.
