Quest DescriptionA certain special Kamera is currently causing Ji Tong some grief...
- Ji Tong: How very strange... What is the matter with this Kamera?
What's wrong with your Kamera?- Ji Tong: I think it's broken... Well, maybe not broken, but it's certainly not working like it's supposed to.
- Ji Tong: I ordered a batch from Fontaine a while back.
- Ji Tong: The person who sold it to me said that this particular kind of Kamera features the very latest technology from Fontaine.
- Ji Tong: Supposedly, it can print photos in a special hue and add in some special effects, or something. So I bought one to try it out.
- Ji Tong: But try as I might, I can't get it to print out photos properly. I don't know whether I'm using it wrong, or if it's just faulty.
- Ji Tong: Maybe there's some trick to it that I'm not getting...
- Ji Tong: So, how about you? Much of a Kamera Konnoisseur yourself?
- I dabble.
- Ji Tong: I'll take that as a yes! So, could I get you to help?
- Never heard of a "Kamera" in my life.
- Ji Tong: Oh, I see... Well, never mind, it's simple enough to use... Would you mind giving me a hand anyway?
- Ji Tong: I'm guessing you're a traveler? You must have a lot of experiences under your belt.
- Ji Tong: What I'd like you to do is use this Kamera to take a picture of something with a strong color.
- Ji Tong: Once you've taken a snap, if you could please bring me the photo. I want to see if I can isolate the source of the issue...
- Ji Tong: And if I can't, I'll take the photos to the seller and see what he has to say. With the photos as hard evidence, he won't be able to dismiss the issue.
- I'll do it.
- Ji Tong: Great. Thanks!
- (Obtain
Kurious Kamera)
- What do you mean by strong color?
- Ji Tong: Oh, you know... Really bright colors, like red Jueyun Chilis, blue Mist Flower...
- Ji Tong: Once you've taken a good shot, bring me the photo.

- (Talk to Ji Tong)
- Ji Tong: Ah, hello. Just the person I wanted to speak to.
- About what?
- About strong-color photography?
- Ji Tong: Nope, no need. I've figured out what it was.
- Ji Tong: I finally managed to track down the merchant the other day. The one who sold me it in the first place.
- Ji Tong: I told him there was a problem with the Kamera he sold me, but he was having none of it.
- Ji Tong: Luckily I had all the photos you took for me. Without them, I'd have had no way of convincing him.
- Ji Tong: After taking a look at your photos, he finally agreed to take a look at the Kamera he sold to me.
- Ji Tong: Yesterday, he came to see me and brought a bottle of some sort of potion with him.
- Ji Tong: He explained that this Kamera works differently from regular models. You need to add some of this potion to it to make sure the photos turn out normal.
- Ji Tong: If you don't add any, the photos turn out just like yours did. Just pages of color, rather than clear images.
- Good thing that your Kamera's not broken, then.
- So... problem sorted?
- Ji Tong: Well... To be honest, I'm less interested in the Kamera itself now. This potion is what intrigues me...
- Ji Tong: Think about it. Most people will just buy the Kamera, right? Buy it once, use it forever.
- Ji Tong: But this potion is a consumable. So, once you've used it up, you have to buy more if you want to keep using it.
- Ji Tong: Also, the guy says that different potions will produce photos with different effects. He's currently developing more types...
- Ji Tong: Maybe... Just maybe, those bottles of potion are where the big business opportunity is.
- Ji Tong: Ah, sorry. I'm rambling.
- Ji Tong: Thanks for all your help. Hand me this Kamera, I'll add some potion in for you...
- (After submitting the Kurious Kamera)
- Ji Tong: Alright, this Kamera is yours to keep. Take care of it.
- ...You're just gonna give it to me?
- What happens when the potion runs out?
- Ji Tong: There's enough potion in there for you to get a good amount of use out of it. Once it runs out... Well, you know where to find me, right?
- Ji Tong: While we're on the subject, I'm planning to talk to my contact about importing some new kinds of potions for the Kamera.
- Ji Tong: If you find that's something that interests you, I hope to see you again in the future.
- Ji Tong: Thought I was just buying a Kamera, turns out I was buying a whole business venture...
Ji Tong's Event Dialogue
- Ji Tong: Definitely need to investigate this Kamera more closely...
Claim Fortune Trove
- Ji Tong: How have the photos turned out? Let me see...
- (Opens Claim Fortune Trove menu)
- Where did you get this Kamera?
- Ji Tong: Oh, I bought it off a merchant from Fontaine.
- Ji Tong: He said this model prints photos with a unique effect, which is certain to make it catch on.
- Ji Tong: I took him at his word, but I quickly discovered that I don't recognize anything that this Kamera prints...
- Ji Tong: Maybe I'm using it wrong? But I don't know how to track him down, ugh...
- Goodbye.
- Ji Tong: Bye... Ugh, this Kamera, such a konundrum...
