You see Potion Peddler Nezhiri, a S'Kra Mur.
Nezhiri has a flat-featured face, sparkling turquoise eyes and a broad snout. She has dark sorrel scales, a long tail, and a plump figure.
She appears to be an adult.

She is wearing a tawny cotton gamantang patterned with brown and white triangles, an overstuffed haversack dangling various twine-bound flasks, a scarlet samite coin purse, an elegantly heliced tel'athi tailband, and some worn leather sandals.


Nezhiri was first seen at the Hollow Eve Festival 450. She gives out tasks that use the Alchemy system to complete.

Task Requirements

This is for the Hollow Eve Festival 450 (2024) event: For a fee of 5 gold kronar, Nezhiri will provide you with one of the instructions below and direct you to return with 12-15 doses:

* You can check TASK to see your progress when you've accepted a task.
* Unlike the other task givers like Nezhiri where you turn in <an item> x <number of times>, this NPC wants to have all the doses of the task request in a single turn-in. For example, if asked for 15 doses of gill glop, you want to turn in a single gill glop with a COUNT of 15 instead of 15 gill glops with a COUNT of 1.
* COUNT to see the current dose count
* COMBINE to make a higher count item
* MARK <PRODUCT> AT <NUMBER> then BREAK <PRODUCT> to reduce the count on an item
  • In exchange for these items you will receive a woven sack which will include some coin, some common gems and some crafting materials.

Atmosphere

  • The versicolor flasks and bottles suspended from Nezhiri's haversack tinkle musically as she adjusts the bulky conveyance, hoisting it higher up on her back.

Ask Nezhiri about Nezhiri

"Oh, me? I am Nezhiri, but a humble merchant hailing from sunny Velaka Desert," the peddler replies, scratching her crest bashfully. Her turquoise eyes brighten as she continues, "And I've seen my share of extraordinary places from there to here, but I certainly never thought I would find myself on a floating island in the middle of the sea, peddling to the locals on the cutting edge of commerce! The Immortals have truly blessed my path through this strange, wonderful world."

Ask Nezhiri about Alchemy

"I do love to experiment with new concoctions when I can," Potion Peddler Nezhiri responds with a wistful smile, "especially as I come across unusual ingredients, but my true passions lie in travel and trade. I am deeply appreciative when those more talented than I lend their alchemical skill to my humble endeavors."

Ask Nezhiri about Potions

Potion Peddler Nezhiri shakes her head. "Regrettably, my current stock of wares is formulated specifically for a Merelew clientele, based on recipes procured from the Inverted Crucible. I fear these products would make you quite sick."

Ask Nezhiri about Supplies

Nezhiri shrugs apologetically. "If you're looking for alchemical tools or raw ingredients, I don't have any on hand. Brewer's brine can be purchased here on Andreshlew, at the local Craftsmen's Academy, but you may have to return to the mainland for other supplies."

Ask Nezhiri about Brine

"Ah, yes, brewer's brine." Nezhiri nods. "Simple and ingenious at the same time, it's a particular type of filtered seawater used by the Merelew as the base for many of their alchemical recipes. The Red Fan's local suppliers were able to secure us a wonderful wholesale deal this year. You can purchase some at the local Craftsmen's Academy if you need any."

Ask Nezhiri about Merelew

"The Merelew are a kind and capable folk, though they can be a bit...reticent when it comes to negotating with outsiders," Nezhiri responds, meeting your gaze warmly. "I'll admit that forging the requisite connections with the Inverted Crucible and Red Fan Traders to sell my wares here was no small diplomatic feat, but hopefully this is just the beginning of a fruitful exchange of ideas, culture, and coin!"

Ask Nezhiri about Sacks

Nezhiri beams at you. "Oh, are you one of those curious collector sorts? I can certainly relate! As a token of appreciation, I always try to share a random find from my travels when issuing payment for a job well done."

Ask Nezhiri about Instructions

If not on a task:
Nezhiri peers at you curiously. "I don't recall striking an agreement with you. Perhaps you have mistaken me for someone else?"
[You are not currently on a task for Nezhiri.]


Ask Nezhiri for Task

ASK NEZHIRI FOR TASK #1

Potion Peddler Nezhiri's eyes twinkle enthusiastically. "You wish to help me grow my business? Oh, I am so pleased to hear it! Your kind efforts will not go unrewarded, but I'm afraid I must ask for an up-front investment of 5 gold Kronars to cover the base costs of this next venture. If you agree, just ask again and I'll make a record of our arrangement."

"I'm also running low on raw ingredients, so you will have to track down your own supplies. The Merelew have been kind enough to share their stock of brewer's brine with us, however. You can purchase as much as you need at the local Craftsmen's Academy." The peddler pauses and scratches her scaly chin. "I suppose that's all there is to it. If you give me the coin to finalize our deal and then craft the requested compounds, I'll reward you with whatever knowledge and material trinkets I can spare."
[ASK NEZHIRI FOR TASK again if you agree to her terms.]


ASK NEZHIRI FOR TASK #2

Potion Peddler Nezhiri beams at you, her tail rolling up and down in a smooth undulation. "I'm pleased that you've decided to hear my proposal! It's been quite difficult keeping up with demand while still learning these local recipes, so I'll take all the help I can get. You won't go uncompensated for your assistance, of course!"

Should you agree to my terms, you'll need to make 12 doses of some deep-sea draught," Nezhiri explains. "It's been selling well today, and that's what I need to restock next. Please COMBINE the doses into a single product before you turn them in, and make sure anything you give me is well-made or better, because I certainly can't build a business on shoddy merchandise. And speaking of business, I can't guarantee a profitable return on your investment either, but I'll pay you what I can spare. If the risk bothers you, then perhaps this arrangement is not for you...but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?" The peddler winks.

Nezhiri concludes, "If you proceed, I'll ask you for that fee and set you to work."

[You may accept by typing ACCEPT TASK, or decline by typing DECLINE TASK]


ACCEPT TASK

Potion Peddler Nezhiri smiles at you. She holds out a hand and says, "I'll have those 5 gold coins now, if I may."
Potion Peddler Nezhiri accepts your coins and slips them away. "Splendid! We have ourselves a deal."
Trilling cheerfully, the peddler hands you some deep-sea draught instructions. "This is the recipe I need you to follow. It should be pretty straightforward, but as a measure of quality control I must insist that you make the concoction with your own hands. Return to me when the requisite number of doses is complete. I'll be peddling my wares here on Andreshlew until it sinks back into the ocean, so please be sure to conclude our business before then. Good luck, and no refunds!"
