Merchant's Final Exam (Intermediate)

Below is about the Merchant's Final Exam (Intermediate) quest,

which is the last lesson in the Trade Course for the Intermediate School.

 

The most prominent feature of this quest is that there are four quests on the request list.

Completing one quest among the four will pass the exam.

 

I am sure you all wonder why there are four quests on the list

when completing just one will get you past!

 

It is because the whole purpose of the exam is to see

if you have the ability to make use of the skills that come with the job

you have selected from the first collection of merchant jobs.

 

To recap, there are a total of seven jobs a merchant hopeful can choose from.
> Accountant, Yarn Dealer, Chandler, Foods Dealer, Mineral Trader, Medicine Trader,
   Animal Trader.
 

Now with the basics covered let’s see what the quest is all about.

Then we will go through where the recipes can be acquired.

 

 

1. Quest Specifics

 

First off, let’s see what is special about this exam.

 

As mentioned earlier there are four quests to choose from in this exam.

 

A different recipe is required for each quest.

Produce the goods according to it and hand it over to the NPC to complete the quest!

 

Each quest also has a specific skill that is imperative in completing the quest successfully.

These skills are included in the “Favoured Skills”

that are offered with the first choice of merchant jobs.

Take a look at the quests and see which quest requires your Favoured Skill.

 

 “Favoured Skills” and “Expert Skills” will advance in rank faster than the rest of the skills.
Their level limitation is also high as an advantage.

 

 

Each quest requests you to produce the following items.

> Cat-o'-nine-tails, Boiled egg, Deck brush, Carpentry tools

 

Let’s move on to the jobs with the specifications needed to clear the quest.
