## Summary

A ring with magic in it...? Impossible...
Ahh... that merchant did seem rather shady.
He kept his face hidden, so I never saw him clearly.
But he was selling fine wares for cheap, so I took the deal...
And now I've wasted my coin.
Should've gone to a proper shop. So foolish of me...

## Quest Text Steps


### Step 1

- **Dialogue**: Oh no! Oh dear!
Where is it...? Where did the ring go?!


### Step 2

- **Reward**: I only wanted to see her smile...
and yet, it seems I'll let her down once again...


### Step 3

- **Objective**: This ring carries magic. You can't give that as a gift.

- **Summary**: A ring with magic in it...? Impossible...
Ahh... that merchant did seem rather shady.
He kept his face hidden, so I never saw him clearly.
But he was selling fine wares for cheap, so I took the deal...
And now I've wasted my coin.
Should've gone to a proper shop. So foolish of me...


### Step 4

- **Reward**: You're not just any wanderer, are you?
Could you... take the ring off my hands?


### Step 5

- **Reward**: You, you've come back again... 
Did you take care of the ring properly?


### Step 6

- **Objective**: Give this ring to your daughter.

- **Summary**: ...Hmm? Why are you giving this back?
Didn't you say it was dangerous?
Even if I promised my daughter,
I can't hand her something like that.
Perhaps next year I'll find a better gift...
I know too well what it feels like, to want to give more than you can.


### Step 7

- **Reward**: Truthfully, I pray she never feels the same.
I just hope she's only a little disappointed.


### Step 8

- **Objective**: The magic's gone. It's just a normal ring now.

- **Summary**: Wait, you can do that...?
Are you some kind of alchemist?
By the gods... I can't thank you enough.
Honestly, I couldn't bring myself to go home.
I couldn't face her smile, 
pretending not to be let down.


### Step 9

- **Reward**: So I lingered here instead... 
But now, now I can finally return.


### Step 10

- **Objective**: Where did you get this ring, anyway?

- **Summary**: I bought it off a street vendor 
in Southern Calpheon, not a proper shop...
Like I said, his face was covered,
so I never saw him clearly.
There were plenty of young women eyeing his goods,
so I thought my daughter might like the same.


### Step 11

- **Reward**: He mostly sold things girls would love—
mirrors, gems, trinkets...
