Today's lesson is on pedlars, liners, bank doorkeepers and quarters.
We might have to go all over the town, but that's probably for the best.
You'll be graduating soon, and it won't hurt for you to be familiar with the town.
- 8111
- Instructor Alan
Let's start with pedlars.
I originally wanted to explain this in front of a pedlar, but I'm in a bit of a hurry today. If you don't mind, I'll explain it right here.
Talk to me when you are ready.
- 8112
- Instructor Alan
You don't have a lesson with me.
- 8113
- Instructor Alan
All right, I'm going to explain pedlars.
Hawkers buy and sell certain consumables.
There aren't pedlars in every town, but larger cities like here usually have one.
The prices of the consumables vary based on the current stock.
- 8114
- Instructor Alan
If there's a sailor selling an item, there'll be a sailor that needs to buy it. The greater an item's supply is, the cheaper it's price will be.
Take a look for yourself to see what is being sold in this town.
- 8115
- Instructor Alan
Do you have any questions? If you'd like, I can go over it again.

All right, let's review pedlars.

Try buying something from the Pedlar.
Because he's not located on the lower-right map, you'll have to find him for yourself.
When you're done, meet me in the Harbour for a lesson on liners.
- 8126
- Instructor Alan
...Player, weren't you supposed to be in my class?
- 8127
- Instructor Alan
Buy something from the Pedlar.
- 8128
- Pedlar
Oh, are you Instructor Alan's student? He's told me about you.
You're probably busy with your lesson, but come back later if you have time, okay?
- 8129
- Instructor Alan
You should now understand how to buy items from a Pedlar.
Next, I'll cover liner ships. I'll be waiting at the Harbour. Come see me when you are ready.

You should now understand how to buy items from a Pedlar.
Next, I'll cover liner ships.
Liners are ships that can safely take you to distant places.
However, the trip takes a set amount of time and money.
Also, you will need a port permit to enter the port of your destination.
- 8131
- Instructor Alan
Therefore, liners may not be very useful to a novice sailor.
- 8132
- Select the "Liner Information" command
from the Port Official
to view the liner ships.
- 8133
- Select the "Liner" command at port to ride a liner.
You must pay a fare to ride,
and you also must have a port permit
to enter the port of your destination.
- 8134

Do you have any questions? If you'd like, I can go over it again.

I'll explain banks next.
Meet me at the bank when you are ready.

I'll explain banks next.
Meet me at the bank when you are ready.
- 8148
- Instructor Alan
Next, I'm going to explain banks.
Banks provide many functions, but the two most relevant to novices are the deposit and withdrawal of gold, and insurance.
I think it would be better for an expert to help explain. Let's see if he will.
- 8149
- Bank Clerk
Yes, sir. Allow me to explain.
- 8150
- Bank Clerk
Using deposits and withdrawals, you can store your precious gold here, and retrieve it whenever you wish.
- 8151
- Bank Clerk
We accept funds in increments of 1,000 ducats. Every thirty days you spend at sea, we will pay 0.5% of your account in interest.
- 8152
- Bank Clerk
Money you deposit here can be withdrawn from any bank.
- 8153
- Bank Clerk
In other words, you can deposit your money here, keeping it safe from the dangers you face at sea.
- 8154
- Select the "Deposit" command at a bank
to store your money in the bank. Once deposited,
your money can be withdrawn from any bank.
- 8155
- Bank Clerk
Speaking of dangers at sea, you should be sure not to forget to carry insurance.
- 8156
- Bank Clerk
Let's say, for example, that during a long voyage, your ship is damaged by pirates or a rough storm, and you end up being shipwrecked.
- 8157
- Bank Clerk
All the cargo you spent great sums of money to obtain vanish to the bottom of the sea. It will take large amounts of effort and time to recoup your losses.
- 8158
- Bank Clerk
But if you've purchased insurance, your property, as it was right before the shipwreck, will be converted into gold and deposited into your account.
- 8159
- Bank Clerk
You'll be able to conveniently repurchase your lost cargo, putting yourself in the same position as before the shipwreck.
- 8160
- Bank Clerk
At our bank, we offer many different levels of insurance corresponding to your desired maximum payout.
- 8161
- Bank Clerk
Before you embark on your first voyage, I strongly recommend purchasing the lowest level of insurance.
- 8162
- Select the "Insurance" command at a bank to purchase insurance.
With insurance, cargo lost due to incapacitation
or shipwreck will be converted to money
and deposited in your account.
- 8163
- Bank Clerk
That's the end of my explanation. If you'd like, I can go over it again.
- 8165
- No thanks, I'm fine.
- 8166
- One more time, please...
- 8167
- Bank Clerk
Understood. I'll go over it again.

Don't forget to get insurance before going out on any dangerous voyages. Let's assume that your ship is attacked by pirates or damaged in rough seas and you become shipwrecked. The cargo you were carrying will float among the debris. It will cost you a lot of time and labour In order to reclaim it. However, if you have insurance, the value of the cargo you were carrying before being shipwrecked will be deposited in your funds. You will then be able to buy the supplies you lost, and you will be back in the same condition you were in before the shipwreck. We provide coverage depending on the amount you want insured. We highly recommend the first class plan to new sailors.

- Select the "Insurance" command at a bank to purchase insurance. With insurance, cargo lost due to incapacitation or shipwreck will be converted to money and deposited in your account.

Thank you. I look forward to your patronage.
- 8176
- Instructor Alan
Thanks.

When you have enough gold to make a deposit, you should store it safe inside the bank.
Next, I'd like to explain about Quarters.
Meet me next to the town's doorkeeper when you are ready to continue.
- 8178
- Instructor Alan
...Player, weren't you supposed to be in my class?
- 8179
- Instructor Alan
Quarters are basically like your home. You can even place furniture and redecorate.
Your quarters are guarded by the doorkeeper. When you want to return to your quarters, or visit someone else's, speak to him,
and he will guide you there.
Quarters may be purchased from a bank, but you will need to have a certain amount of experience and money to buy one.
- 8180

Do you have any questions? If you'd like, I can go over it again.

For the reasons I stated, it can be hard for a novice Voyager to obtain his own quarters... That's why the academy has prepared a dormitory room for you to use as your quarters. You will receive it when you complete your studies.
I hope you'll take it in celebration of your efforts.
That's all for this lesson. Let's return to the academy.
