Goods and Services is a quest in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Synopsis

Mad Morena, the Príncipi captain who runs the Undercroft in the Gullet, has a buyer seeking crude luminous adra at black market rates, but she has no stock to sell. The Watcher needs to obtain some crates for her if I want to earn her favor.

Walkthrough

This quest can be easy or hard, depending on how rich you are. To skip it, you'll need to have 30,000 in your pocket, otherwise you'll have to find the crates.

• Start the quest by either talking to Captain Aeldys or Captain Mad Morena.

• You receive a Wine and Gunpowder-Scented Letter from Captain Aeldys, inviting you to a parley at Fort Deadlight. The letter arrives when you:
  • Received the quest Symbols of Death and left Dunnage.
  • Or completed the quest Blow the Man Down, waited to receive the Letter of Fine Penmanship from Captain Furrante when returning to the world map about 2 days later, then similarly waited for another day.
• Talk to Aeldys at Fort Deadlight, she will then send you to Mad Morena.
• According to Morena, the Vailian Trading Company has a stockpile of crude luminous adra at their mill in Queen's Berth, or you can ambush the Company's boats at sea as they ship the adra out of Neketaka.
• The amount of crates you need depends on Morena's mood:
  • Three crates for being sent by Aeldys.
  • Four crates normally.
  • Six crates for annoying her.
• At the Luminous Adra Mill, you can either buy the crates directly from Cortina, or steal them from a number of containers scattered throughout the mill. Stealing the crates requires a bit of luck, and will be easier using a character with higher Stealth.
• Alternatively you can pirate the crates from the VTC ships leaving Neketaka. 2 crates are guaranteed to drop from all VTC ships while the quest is active.
• If stealing isn't your thing, Cortina will be willing to sell you the adra at a varying price if you can convince her.
  • 2,000 per crate - At least 3 Reputation with the Vailian Trading Company, asking for the company to return the favour.
  • 1,500 per crate - At least 3 Reputation with the Vailian Trading Company, and Diplomacy 6.
  • 1,500 per crate - Bluff 9, convince her that the purchase may be the first of many.
• Return to the Captain and hand them in.
