On speaking with an NPC they'll offer clues about four items they are searching for. Return and trade each of the four requested items one at a time to receive the message "Ah! Yes this is one of the items I was looking for.." The items are <u>not returned</u> to the player.

Here are the riddles from each NPC grouped by location. When confirmed, a link to the item is posted. Any wiki page missing is followed with an external link to a retail wiki to help you learn more about the item.

== What's next? ==

* It has been discovered that the monster [[Frank]] in [[Crawler's Nest]] drops the item [[Frank's Stick]]. Aerec does react to [[Frank's Stick]] by saying you are not prepared to someone that has not yet completed the Scavenger Hunt. 
** Note: He says this with any item you try to trade, not just Frank's Stick.

* After having provided all the necessary items to the NPCs listed above, trade Frank's stick to Aerec and report your findings here. Thank you.

== Warning ==

* There is a misconception circulation amongst the community that touching the glowing spot behind the [[Shady Dealer]] gives an additional 5 [[Mog Satchel]] slots. This is a long-standing bug and you will be unable to use these 5 slots if activated.
