Journal

• Loashkana seeks a word of advice.
• Though she attempts to put on a brave face, Loashkana reveals that there has been little word on the Heartsting's whereabouts. Just as she begins rethinking her plans, however, the sunny Yellowjacket storms into your conversation, eager to report that the pair masquerading as fruit merchants has left Limsa Lominsa for Aleport. Her spirits lifted, Loashkana makes for the hamlet and urges you to follow at your earliest convenience.
• Loashkana greets you in Aleport with potentially good news─a veteran merchant may have information to share regarding the pair you seek. With no other leads, you head off in search of the trader.
• The merchant is aware of the traveling pair, and claims he last spotted them selling potions and elixirs to two fledgling adventurers. Upon learning that the remedies may be poisoned, he bids you seek out the likely targets, who were last seen on their way to Swiftperch.
• You locate the adventurers─Wyssulm and Zerig─under attack by an aggressive trio of mammets. With the mechanical monstrosities thus dispatched, Wyssulm looks to you for a helping hand.
• Wyssulm thanks you for your timely aid, but wastes no time making his next request on Zerig's behalf. The conjurer suffers from an uncontrollable and violent bout of hiccups, and the lad requires Esuna to speak clearly once more.
• With Zerig's hiccups finally cured, the adventurers breathe a sigh of relief...yet the moment is short-lived. Ellerete and Kokonowa─the Unbound brigands─bombastically reveal themselves, though the two vanish in a cloud of putrid smoke as quickly as they appeared. Realizing that she must reevaluate her approach if she is to corner her quarry, Loashkana returns to Limsa Lominsa to gather her thoughts.
• Though the Unbound's misuse of the Heartsting stokes Loashkana's ire, she takes a small victory in having discovered the culprits' identities. She urges you to prepare yourself in the meantime, for the hunt shall soon continue...
  • ※The next role quest will be available from Loashkana upon reaching level 94 in any healer class.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest (cutscene)

Loashkana: Say, Forename, can you spare a moment?
Loashkana: I'll...try to start on a positive note, then. The good news is that there've been no further incidents involving poisoned fruit.
Loashkana: I should be happy about that, but it's not exactly conducive to tracking down our thieves. Despite my best attempts, my investigation's at a standstill.

Sunny Yellowjacket: Forename!
Sunny Yellowjacket: I bring news from the Coral Tower! A Lalafellin man matching the description of that fruit vendor was seen leaving the city with a Hyuran woman. It seems they were making for Aleport.
Sunny Yellowjacket: We've increased patrols of late, so if I had to guess, the culprits are finding it harder to operate within the city. Seems we've forced them to withdraw for the time being.

Loashkana: Aleport, you say? That's on this island, isn't it?

Sunny Yellowjacket: Yes, that's right! It's possible to go on foot, but the ferry by the Fishermen's Guild can take you straight there.
Sunny Yellowjacket: While we Yellowjackets must continue to keep an eye on things here, it's reassuring to know an adventurer of Forename's caliber is on the case.
Sunny Yellowjacket: If you plan to pursue the suspects, Aleport's your best bet.
Sunny Yellowjacket: That said, I should get back to work! It was an honor to meet you and your friend, Forename. Safe travels to you both, and give those crooks a good thrashing for me!

Loashkana: The city's protectors place so much trust in your abilities... I'm lucky to have you on my side.
Loashkana: When I first set sail for Eorzea, I feared I'd never see the Heartsting again...but we're one step closer to bringing it home.
Loashkana: In any event, we'd best find our way to the port town before that pair of troublemakers defiles another fruit supply.
Loashkana: I'll go on ahead and take the ferry. Meet me in Aleport once you're ready!

Speak with Loashkana in Aleport

Loashkana: Ah! There you are, Forename. You're a welcome sight among such unfamiliar scenery.
Loashkana: The ferry skipper was eager to teach me all about this area on the ride here, so I believe I have a general idea of what's what... Wouldn't want to lose my bearings on a hunt this important!
Loashkana: I asked him about our “merchants,” but he said he hadn't seen a pair like that.
Loashkana: The skipper did mention another merchant, though─one who's well versed in the comings and goings of his fellow traders. If anyone's sighted our unlikely duo, it's him.
Loashkana: Let's hope it's enough to put us on the culprits' trail again.
Loashkana: The merchant we seek should be peddling his wares by the gates to Skull Valley, so let's start there.

Optional Dialogue

Loashkana: He matches the skipper's description. I think we've found our merchant!
