Overview
This is the second half of the neutral side quests in Harbour City. Doing these will not affect your choice to become a Warrior of the Order or a Bandit in any way.
Walter Needs a Break
This quest starts with Walter who's working in the smithy at
#1. Once you ask him to get you a weapon, he says that he's unavailable because Alvaro is making him work too hard to keep the supplies for his shop. Offer to help him by talking to Alvaro to reduce his work time.
Alvaro is the shopkeeper right inside the building (
#2). He'll say that Walter is strong enough to endure all the hard work, but after a while agrees that he does work too hard. Another quest is then received, called
Send the Servants Home. Alvaro gives you 120 gold to hire two more blacksmiths to reduce the strain on Walter.
After that's done, visit Walter again and you'll receive 100 experience points and a favour from him. He can teach you the art of blacksmithing and strength and also tell you a few things about that Marcelo's blade.
Send the Servants Home
This quest is received during the quest
Walter Needs a Break from Alvaro (
#2). You're supposed to hire two blacksmith apprentices who'll help out Walter with the sword comission. They are located at
#3 (there are two of these locations on the map, one per blacksmith). Give each of them 50 gold pieces.
After you hire both servants, you'll receive 50 experience points and be left with 20 gold pieces. Drop back to Alvaro and you'll receive 50 additional experience and his permission to keep the money.
Jack Is in Need of Rum
Jack, over at
#4, will tell you about his fate near the sea. Having worked on boats and lighthouses, he had to settle down because the traffic of the harbour city has fallen to zero. He wants a bottle of rum to drown his thoughts into. You probably already have one, so just hand him over for 50 experience and this easy quest is completed.
Jack's Chest
This quest is related to the chest found on the upper floor of the lighthouse where Jack is staying (
#4). The key to the chest is on the ground level, behind the barrels in the corner, and behind the plank that holds the platform from that corner. Take the key from there and loot the chest for some goodies (a +10 piercing protection ring) and 100 experience.
A Night with Olga
Spending a night with a prostitute is done in the house at
#5. Talk to Madam Sonya who runs the brothel. She'll recommend you Olga, the girl that dances just to the right. Tell her that you've already paid 50 gold coins to Sonya and you can have some fun. After a fine black screen, you'll be back into the game. Olga will give you a tell joke scroll as a final goodbye. The quest ends with 100 experience.
Woman Beater
The other girl in the brothel (#5), Gwen, will tell you about Erikson, a customer who beats her because she didn't want to go with him. Apparently he paid for her, but came across as way too drunk and aggressive. After agreeing to help her out, talk to Erikson who's sitting on a nearby bench.
As you approach him and interrupt him in his deep thoughts, he'll tell you to bugger off before he gets pissed. That's exactly what you'd want though, so try to talk to him one more time. He'll get pissed and you'll get a quest called
Defeat Erikson. Reporting back to Gwen that you beat him will net you 100 experience and the achievement Ladies' Man. You can also tell that to Sonya and you'll earn 50 gold pieces and 25 experience.
Defeat Erikson
This quest is received during the
Woman Beater quest. You'll need to defeat Erikson (
#5) to remove him from the brothel and therefore help the ladies in there.
Erikson isn't a tough fighter, but he tends to hit a lot if he gets an attack off with his sledgehammer. Make sure to block constantly and strike a full combo once he finishes a swing. He'll go down soon and you'll receive 50 experience for completing the quest and 80 for beating him.
Anything That Heals
Leonardo, the alchemist who makes healing potions in his lab at
#6, needs a resupply of healing herbs. Besides offering his potions and alchemy training, he asks you to get him the herbs needed. You've probably acquired all those herbs before even reaching the harbour town. Those are ten healing herbs, five healing plants and two healing roots.
Give the herbs to Leonardo and you'll receive a potion that increases your maximum hit points by 10. You'll also receive 300 experience and the quest is completed.
Everything That Isn't Nailed Down
This quest is received from Walter (
#1) during your first conversation with him. He'll tell you that he needs some scrap metal to work with and that's usually found on abandoned farms and the likes. Sadly enough, the gnomes that infested the island raided all the abandoned locations and got the scrap metal themselves. You'll need to get 15 tool bags from the gnomes throughout the island.
The problematic thing about this is that the drop chance isn't very stable and is in fact random. Sometimes you'd get all the tools you want from 2-3 gnome settlements and sometimes you'd need to clear most of the island. In the end, the reward is good. You'll receive 500 experience and 300 gold pieces along with 3 sword steel blanks.
