Quest DescriptionYou meet a "treasure-seeker" named Ulman out in the wild. He says that he's looking for a capable "partner" to help him out...
- Ulman: *sigh* What am I to do...
Something the matter?- Ulman: Oh, so it's you, Traveler... It's nothing, just a small problem.
- Ulman: This Treasure-Seeking Seelie has suddenly stopped paying any attention to me, so I'm in a bit of a fix...
- You... can speak to Seelie?
- Ulman: Well, I wouldn't call it speaking. That would be exaggerating. We are, ultimately, the guide and the guided.
- Ulman: I picked this fellow up inside a ruin. It was trapped at that time — took me quite a bit of effort to extricate it, too.
- Ulman: I guess it must have wanted to thank me... After that, it would sometimes lead me to find some treasure.
- Ulman: I actually made quite the pile with its help...
- Ulman: But for whatever reason, the Seelie's stopped paying me any mind as of late.
- Ulman: If you ask me... I think it's looking for a new partner.
- Ulman: I daren't give it away carelessly, but I can't find any reliable hands to team up with at short notice, either...
- You could look for your companions.
- Ulman: Companions? Hah! Bunch of greedy churls, they are. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, to say nothing of working with them.
- Ulman: If I didn't need the extra information and leads, I'd have left them a long time ago...
- Ulman: Hmm... How about this, then? What would you say to working with me, Traveler?
- I'm no expert in Seelie communications...
- Ulman: Hahaha, it doesn't matter! The way I see it, this Treasure-Seeking Seelie took a real shine to you the moment it saw you.
- Ulman: It didn't react at all when it saw those "companions" of mine, let me tell you that...
- Ulman: So, how about it? What say we team up and earn ourselves a pretty sum?
- I'll... give it a go.
- Ulman: Hahaha, great! Partners, then!
- Ulman: Come, take this Treasure-Seeking Seelie — you're partners in the venture too, after all!
- So, about this "Treasure-seeking" business...
- Ulman: Ah, yes, it almost slipped my mind. Hmm, let me think... Well, this Treasure-Seeking Seelie is different. from other Seelie...
- Ulman: It won't lead you to the spot where treasure is hidden, but it will give you hints as to whether treasure is nearby or far away.
- Ulman: Basically, it'll twinkle, see?
- Ulman: Also, this fellow isn't all that fond of popping out most of the time, so you'll have to wake it up from time-to-time.
- Ulman: Once it's awake, it will guide you. But it doesn't stay out for very long, so you're going to have to focus.
- Ulman: Oh, right. When you go treasure hunting with it, you might also encounter some Iron Coins to go with your loot.
- Ulman: Most merchants won't take this ancient currency, but you can give them to me instead. I have my uses for them.
- Ulman: You can trade them in with me for suitable rewards, too.
- Ulman: As for the size of that reward... Well, that will depend on the amount of Iron Coins you have on you.
- Ulman: And lastly, this book is for you. The locations marked out in this book most certainly have treasure — this is based on information that I've spent much time gathering.
- Ulman: Unfortunately, the Treasure-Seeking Seelie stopped listening to me before I could find these treasures.
- Ulman: So I suppose I can only rely on you now... Happy hunting!

Dialogue
- (Talk to Ulman again)
- Ulman: So, found yourself any treasure?
I have some Iron Coins...
- Ulman: Oh, do you? Hehe, I'll trade them with you for some of these beauties I've got here. What would you like?

- Not yet...
- Ulman: Well, it wouldn't be treasure if it was that easy to find. Take your time.
