If you've ever wanted some basic tips on how to get anything in the Nobilia Marketplace, here you are.
All maps by Grizzly.
Nobilia
Believe it or not, there is a secret warp in the Desert of Doom. Go to the rock-skull cluster, then go to the large rock just north of it. Go a little north and a little east to find another rock formation. Walk between the two rocks here and you'll warp straight to Nobilia in seconds.
If you keep pressing A on the chickens, you'll eventually get told not to taunt the chickens by a mysterious voice and your HP will be reduced to one. If you keep doing this, you'll get a message saying you were warned, and your HP will be back to one again. If you keep doing it, you'll eventually get killed by the game, but if you talk to the woman selling the chickens after the second message, she'll call you a low-down chicken taunter if you try to buy chickens from her. Yes, the game actually does this.
The booths in the northwest are the best place to start, as you can buy Rice for three Jewels a bag. This is the cheapest place to get Rice, and from there, you can go to the left to trade the Rice for Spice.
One of the booths in the northwest allows you to trade the Chocobo Egg for the Magic Gourd. Don't do it; the Gourd does nothing due to either not being programmed to do anything or due to bugged programming. Besides, you can get this useless item by other means, anyway.
Near the northwest corner, you can buy pots. If you keep buying pots, you may randomly find a random amount of Jewels.
The fish booth lets you buy fish and heal 30 HP for 30 Jewels. It's only useful if you don't have anything to spend Jewels on.
At the Amulet of Annihilation booth, you can haggle the price down, but if you go for the three Amulets for a bag of rice, the guy running the booth will never sell Amulets to you again.
The cheapest you can get Beads is a bag of Rice at three Jewels each; that booth is near the perfume booth on the west side.
At the south central area of the market, you can find the appraiser, where you can sell your goods for jewels, including your Rice and Spice. Appraisals are five Jewels each, so you'll have to bring as many goods as possible per appraisal. Once you have all the goods you need to sell, you can sell them here, then go back to the northwest corner and get your Rice and Spice and trade for stuff again. It is possible to make a lot of money off the marketplace when you know what to do and what to trade for.
Things I need at this point:
- One Amulet of Annihilation
- Golden Jackal
- Jeweled Scarab
- 3 Perfumes and 3 Beads
