Shopping at Galdin Pier¶

Anyway, once you’re finished fooling around here, get in the Regalia and select the quest “The Errand Prince” as your driving destination from the Auto/Parking Lot list (you can’t manually drive for the time being). Along the way you’ll overhear some information about your bride-to-be on the radio, after which the banter breaks down into general banality. Upon arriving, it’s time to do some shopping, as there are a variety of merchants about, including the Galdin branch of Culless Munitions and Aldare’s general store, both of which largely sell items you’ve seen before, with a few exceptions.

Culless Munitions - Galdin

At Aldare’s store you can find some new ingredients, including Saxham Rice, Trevally Fillet and Trout Fillet. Buying a Trevally Fillet will inspire Ignis to concoct the “ Grilled Wild Trevally “ recipe, but it’s cheaper to go fishing rather than buying any of this. Speaking of which.

On a dock west of the main pier you’ll find Bob’s Bait Emporium, which will sell basic fishing gear like Spider Silk, Super Baleen (superior fishing line) and a variety of new lures. Remember, some fish prefer different lures, so stock up on different types and indulge in some fishing, if you want, as there are new breeds of fish here. The most common fish here are Giant Trevally and Galdin Trevally , both of which will give you Trevally Fillets when caught, and you’ll need some for an upcoming side quest.

The Quayside Resort¶

When you’re done shopping and fishing make your way back to the quay and head down the long curving dock, which ultimately terminates at a fancy resort. Before you can take in the sights, however, you’ll be interrupted by a “Suspicious Stranger”. You can tell he’s important because of how intricate his hair and clothes are - it’s basically a rule of Final Fantasy. Anyway, he’ll flick an “ Intricate Coin “ at Noctis, which Gladiolus bravely protects him from, then he’ll speak cryptically and tell you that the port is closed.

Before you go and investigate the port and verify the stranger’s claims, check out the “Mother of Pearl” restaurant here and do the usual tasks: “Talk” to learn about the surrounding area, “Eat” to peruse some terribly over-priced meals (the Sea’s Bounty Risotto will spur Ignis to create the “ Fisherman’s Favorite Paella “ recipe), then check out the new hunts, most of which are probably beyond your means right now:

Hunts - Mother of Pearl

If you head north from the circular desk housing the Mother of Pearl clerk you’ll find another worker at a more humble podium. He’s booking rooms at The Quayside Cradle , which boasts an impressive x2 multiplier for your experience, which is the second best in the game. You’ll pay dearly for it, though - 10,000 Gil a night. Head on down to the end of the docks, where the marker is, to finish the quest “The Errand Prince”.
