Summary

Advertise Baren-Moren's latest creation by chatting with the local inhabitants of Windurst Waters. He'll pay you according to the number of townsfolk you speak to. But, you are not to leave Windurst Waters before completing the task.

Walkthrough

Baren-Moren wants you to walk around town showing off the New Model Hat he has for sale. Accept the offer and then go around and talk to the following NPCs:

It is very important that you not leave Windurst Waters before you finish the quest.

When you have talked to them all, talk to Bondada at the hat shop. When you have talked to everyone you need to, Bondada will change what she previously said and agrees to buy a hat. You can then end the quest with the full payout and a Windshear Hat.

The more people you talk to, the greater your pay will be in the end, to a max of 300 gil if you talk to everyone.

Quest Series

This quest is part of a series of quests offered by Baren-Moren. See the list below to find out which quest comes next.

question
# Nov 12 2003 at 11:06 AM Rating: Default
Talked to everyone in Windurst Waters without zoning, even the guards and convinced Bondada. Got 200 gil and a Windshear hat.

My question is, if you fail the mission can you start the mission again?

I've done this quest twice. The first time I got a lot of people and eneded up with 200gil and the windshear hat. I tried it again and he gave me major compliments (something to the effect that I should go into the business myself), and received 300gil. Each time I spent probably a half an hour doing this. One recommendation, work your way through the areas, and make sure that you don't miss anyone if you want the 300gil.
NO HAT!

I tried 2 times.. I talked to everyone! and Bondada bought the hat too... The first time he gave me 50gil, second time 120gil.. both without hat! I'm so sad... T_T
huh

350 gil

I just did this last night.. first off, I didn't realize there was a second section to the area, so I only talked to everyone in the first sector.. he gave me 150 Gil but no hat. Frustrated, I left... (I really wanted that hat!) I came back later, after I had been to a different zone, and he allowed me to start the mission over again. This time, I showed the hat to everyone.. it took probably 40 mins. I may have missed some people.. but when I traded the hat back into him, he awarded me with my own hat plus another 200 gil. There may be some good potential for money making if you can do this quest a number of times. Maybe he only gives you a max of 350 gil
Leaving the area is not the end of the world.

I left the area (different zone) after getting the quest from Baren-Moren, but having never shown the hat off to anybody. Returned to the area and showed it off to everybody. Got the 200 gil + the windshear hat.

So, I think you CAN leave the area, but you probably have to start all over as if you never showed the hat to anybody in the area before.

I did this quest, I talked to everyone within the area, anywhere without zoning counted including that one bridge where the map changes but you dont zone! I talked to everyone and got the 200 + the hat.

you don't have to talk to him and get the hat...
cuz i tried with 1 char....and talked to everyone in town..(all NPC...sure...double talked)
and i can't find HG...so i head back and got 200 gil + the HAT...
and may be if you do find all people (some might be hidden like HG)...you may get more? who knows...try it...and get the detail location of everyone while doing it~

I talked to everyone in the town. I think I missed some. I also could not find Hanoi Gomoi. Does he even exist? There is no house next to the residential area. Anyway, I got the 200 and the hat.
everyone

The people on that list just seem to comment on the hat, but it seems like it might be required to show the hat off to many, many more people in town, including the ones that just ignore it.

I did this quest once talking to everyone in Windurst Waters and got the hat and the gil. I did the quest again with another character talking only to the people on the list (and I talked to ALL of them on the list) and nobody else at all, and got absolutely nothing.
doh!

I talked to every single one of them on the list (not in that order) without leaving the zone and I even talked to some extra people and I got nothing but 50gil. =( Do we get to try this quest again? I wanted the hat. =\
did it

It took about 30-40 min and I talked to everybody in town and I got the hat and 200 g. Easy and it geave me the starts to like 3-4 other quests!
Got the hat
# Oct 31 2003 at 8:17 PM Rating: Decent
I talked to everyone on the list and about 15-20 NPCs not on the list as I was wandering around.

I also talked to Bondada once when I started the quest and once before I ended the quest. He said 2 different things.

I got 150 gil and the Hat. It should work. I have a feeling that you need to talk to a few NPCs not on the list and the more that you talk to not on the list the more gil you can earn.

Hope that helps!

Vague

You need to talk to all the people on the LIST, or all of the people in the TOWN. Please be more specific because this is the second quest that was way to vague!
No dice

I talked to all of the NPCs and did not get the hat. *sigh*

Not Working

This quest doesn't seem to work for me. I talked to everyone on the list and Baren says, "Hey, you didn't seem to do any work at all. You have the impudence to ask for a wage for that? What do you think I am, a charity?" I've done the quest twice now and he said that both times.

I found Kyume-Romeh in the Timbre Timbers Tavern.

oh so you have to talk to every single person in order to get the hat?
honoi
# Oct 30 2003 at 1:14 AM Rating: Good
honoi gomoi is to the left of where you get the quest... if you look on the map theres 6 buildings to the left, 3 above and 3 below where the path forks. if you go north at the fork it's the first house on the right but you have to enter through the back and up the stairs. he's on the left when you get inside. and he does comment on the hat.

Oh yeah I forgot Bondada and maybe a couple others you should talk too more than once.

The names are all right except Honoi-Gomoi.

I never could find him and with my first character I basically only talked to the people on the list. I got 50 gil, but no hat. With my 2nd character I talked to everyone in town and got 200 gil and the hat.
