Description

1. Speak to Miene [1], the little Elvan girl on the Airship Docks in Port San'Doria.

Speaking to her will activate a cutscene in which the pickpocket takes a pair of glasses from Altriet the guard and dashes off, running into you in the process.

2. Once you've watched the cutscene, speak to Altriet in I-8. He is standing just across from Miene near the edge of the dock.

He explains to you that the pickpocket has stolen his wife's gilt glasses. Unable to leave his post, he asks you to retrieve them for him.

3. Head out the Ranperre Gate into West Ronafure. The thief you are looking for is named Esca. She can be found inside a large tower in F-6. The tower is marked on your map by a small darkened rectangle.

4. Talk to Esca in F-6. She will deny stealing anything and demand that you bring evidence to prove your claim.

5. Return to Port San'Doria and speak to the little elvan girl again - Miene in I-8. She will give you an eagle button.

6. Return to Esca in F-6, West Ronafure. Trade the eagle button to her. She will reluctantly admit to her theft and give you a pair of gilt glasses.

7. Return to Port San'Doria, I-8. Trade the gilt glasses to Altiret. You will be rewarded with a Light Axe, and the title Pickpocket Pincher.

You can actually skip steps 3 and 4 and get the button from Miene right after talking to Altriet, if you don't mind missing a bit dialog.

Just a Bit of Fyi I found out while questing on my Sandy Mule for fame.

Activating this Quest with Miene will prevent you from using the Delivery OutBox NPC in Port Sandoria. The NPC will say something on the lines of... I havent seen the likes of any Pickpocketer around here. This is a pain in the butt, especially if you mule a lot of stuff. So avoid speaking to Miene on your mule, unless you are prepared to finish the quest after...

Of course after the quest is completed, you can use the Delivery NPC in Port once again.

Correction: If you start this quest, you CAN use the Port San d'Oria delivery NPC - you just have to talk to it twice.
My Mistake

So yea, I decided after having this damn eagle button for 2 months I would get rid of the freaking thing! So I read every post to date and I finally figured out why I could never finish it! I was going to the wrong tower the entire time! Yes, there is someone in the tower in (I-11) but that is the WRONG tower lol The CORRECT tower is at (J-6) which you can navigate your way to by following the path from either gate. The path wraps around a small section of mountains and ends up at the tower so don't do what I did kids! Go and get rid of that button asap! lol well anyways hope this helps anyone who is slick like me ;-)
hmmmm...

Problem
# Jul 26 2005 at 4:05 PM Rating: Decent
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem: I can't trade the button to Esca, every time I try to trade the button to her a message comes up saying something along the lines of "Cannot obtain gild glasses, try reorganizing your inventory". I don't understand why this error is occurring but does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening?
RE: Problem

You have a full inventory...? Just throw something away, put items in your Mog House safe, or go to Menu>>Items>>Triangle (if you're on PS2) and click sort. :D

I don't know what it is if you're on PC though.
thank you

Ack, this is a terrible, terrible walkthrough - here is a more detailed explanation for those who don't feel like deciphering the vague description up here.

1. Speak to Miene [1-8], the little Mithra girl on the Airship Docks in Port San'Doria.

Speaking to her will activate a cutscene in which the pickpocket takes a pair of glasses from Altriet the guard and dashes off, running into you in the process.

2. Once you've watched the cutscene, speak to Altriet in I-8. He is standing just across from Miene near the edge of the dock.

He explains to you that the pickpocket has stolen his wife's gilt glasses. Unable to leave his post, he asks you to retrieve them for him.

3. Head out the Ranperre Gate into West Ronafure. The thief you are looking for is named Esca. She can be found inside a large tower in F-6. The tower is marked on your map by a small darkened rectangle.

4. Talk to Esca in F-6. She will deny stealing anything and demand that you bring evidence to prove your claim.

5. Return to Port San'Doria and speak to the little mithra girl again - Miene in I-8. She will give you an eagle button.

6. Return to Esca in F-6, West Ronafure. Trade the eagle button to her. She will reluctantly admit to her theft and give you a pair of gilt glasses.

7. Return to Port San'Doria, I-8. Trade the gilt glasses to Altiret. You will be rewarded with a Light Axe, and the title Pickpocket Pincher.

Actually, you can get the Eagle Button right away by: talking to Miene for the cutscene, then Altriet, and then Miene again before leaving to go to the tower.
HERES THE INFO
# Jan 05 2004 at 2:53 AM Rating: Default
Go to Port San'doria or however that is spelled. There is a little girl standing on the top deck named Miene. Talk with ehr the quest starts. Talk to Altiret after that, THEN TALK TO MIENE AGAIN. She gives you the button. Take it to ESCA in WEST RONAFUE or however that is spelled. Go to the tower (f-6) give ESCA the button. Take the glasses back to ALTIRET get the AXE OR THE SHIELD.

P.S. I GOT THE AXE and im a theif so i cant use it woohoo (sells for 137 gills)

Saosin - Theif
can't find esca

Alt is right next to mient, just up along the banster over looking the water. Should be pretty close pending how far she happend to stroll around.
Her?
# Dec 03 2003 at 3:49 AM Rating: Default
Altiret is a Him, not a Her, and he's located at (I-8) and at lvl 22 he wont give me the quest.
RE: Her?
# Dec 17 2004 at 5:00 PM Rating: Decent
uhm... yeah....

You actually get the quest from Miene, the little girl, not Altiret. You'll have the quest if you get cutscene talking to Miene.
RE: Her?
# Jul 31 2004 at 7:12 PM Rating: Default
Esca is a she...I quote from the game text...

"Me, a pickpocket? Is this the way adventurers today, chasing down and accusing ladies of crimes? And without proof, I might add!"
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 24 2003 at 7:47 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) omg where is Altriet located for godsake when posting pllease put location gezzzz

wheres the people that give u the quest?
Esca, Tower, Button
# Nov 13 2003 at 7:47 AM Rating: Default
Esca is in the tower at F-6 in West Ronfaure, NOT the one in the south east.

And it is ESCA not WESCA please fix.

For the button, as always trade it to ESCA.

Title you get when you complete this quest is: Pickpocket Pilcher
Just want to point out

The ax can not be used unless you are level 11. Of course you can always sell it I guess.
