Walkthrough[edit]

  • Trade Melyon any of the below to complete the quest.
Item Quantity Reward
Per Trade Per Stack
La Theine Cabbage 5 100g 240g
Millioncorn 1 3 120g 480g
Boyahda Moss 2 1 600g 7200g
  1. You can trade any size stack (of at least three) of Millioncorn to Melyon and he'll only take 3.
  2. The following macro can be used to trade the Moss while directly facing Melyon:
    /targetnpc
    /item "Boyahda Moss" <t>

    This macro will only work with Boyahda Moss because it is not possible to trade more than one item at a time via a macro.

Notes[edit]

Trading Time[edit]

It takes approximately 5 seconds per trade when using the Boyahda Moss macro and going through the NPC chat prompts as quickly as possible; mostly due to Melyon having extended pauses between chat lines. At maximum speed with all 25 stacks of moss in Inventory, this quest will take approximately 1500 seconds (25 minutes) to reach Reputation 9.

Trade Requirements[edit]

The chart below is out of date. SE has dropped the number of items needed to reach 9 Fame.

  • 6 stacks of Boyahda Moss reached 9 Fame.

The following table gives the minimum number of trades required to achieve a given reputation level.
