💬 Flavor text: Quicksand, Steps of Nald, Ul'dah

Any flavor text inside the Quicksand which differs from that in the Ul'dahn tutorial instance.

* Memenaru, Marteire, and Elviane's text— as well as proximity dialogue— remains unchanged.

————————————

Momodi "You've found your way to the Quicksand, friend. As you can see, we cater to a clientele with an adventurous streak.

With the chaos left in the wake of the Calamity, the townsfolk'll be needin' the help of my patrons more than ever."

————————————

Botulf "Ul'dah's known for its merchants, but making your way here as one is no easy thing.

Three reasons for that—too many trends, too many rivals, and too many lies."

————————————

Papasu "Hello there, traveler. Have you tried any dishes at the Quicksand yet? Nothing prepares you for a day of adventuring like a hearty meal, you know!"

* "What do you do here?" you ask. Papasu "Oh, I just flit about the Quicksand, attending to our guests' every need. I also help out in the kitchens on occasion. No one makes buttered crumpets as buttery as I do, you know. Next time I whip up a batch, be sure to try one! Of course, you ought to try all of our dishes—everything we serve is excellent. Why not have a bite to eat and rest a spell? I promise you won't regret it!"

* "Why is it called the Quicksand?" you ask. Papasu "Have a look around you—all manner of folk get caught in the lure of the Quicksand! They gather here to meet and mingle with one another. 'Course, you adventurers are less like to linger long. Aye, your kind is not unlike sand itself—the more tightly we try to hold on to you, the easier it is for you to slip through our fingers… Oh, I know all about your type. My husband used to be an adventurer, you know. Oh, he was quite a gallant hero way back when. But his days of derring-do are but a distant memory now—aye, and his strapping physique as well."

Kekezani "Mmm…you got it, sweet cheeks, full speed ahead…"

💬 Flavor text: Tutorial - Steps of Nald, Ul'dah

Ul'dahn starting tutorial - inside the Quicksand

————————————————

Botulf "If you'd like to earn a bit yourself, best go speak to Momodi about getting started. You'll find her just behind that counter, there." ————————————————

Elviane "I think it's time I replaced my tired old wand. And since we have the Alchemists' Guild right here in Ul'dah, I might even treat myself to one of those more expensive, custom-made types."

————————————————

Papasu "Hello there, adventurer! You new to town? Best direct all your questions to Mistress Momodi then─she'll take care of you."

💬 If you walk near the two men perusing the board behind her: Axe-wielding one: "Cut the ropes to the bridge, send the beast plummeting, save the princess." Armored one: "Sounds simple enough. What's in it for us?"

* Note: Since the game is made in Japan, the two bubbles are to be read right to left!

————————————————

💬 Proximity flavor text: Nondescript Hyur: "You won't believe what I have planned for today." Miqo'te spellcaster: "Wait, let me guess. Another trip to the ruins?" Roegadyn Marauder: "<sigh> here we go again."

————————————————

Marteire "Watch yourself, adventurer. These people obsess over coin and ever scheme against their brethren.

Even nature conspires against us here. The heat is unbearable, and the sand—gods, the sand! It finds its way into every crack and crevasse!"

💬 Proximity flavor text: Sloshed Hyuran mage: "Nothin' like a warm ale after a day of maimin'!"

————————————————

Memenaru "I've dined at many of Ul'dah's finer establishments, but none hold a candle to the Quicksand. Somehow the ale tastes sweeter when drunk in her presence…"

————————————————

The Smith "As one of the Smiths, I provide guidance for those just starting out on the path of the adventurer. For the present, I suggest you learn your way around the city��an endeavor with which Momodi shall no doubt wish to aid you."
