Steps
- Speak with the Ul'dahn trader.
- Deliver the
Ul'dahn incense to Detoh Moshroca.
Journal
- Detoh Moshroca needs a favor of an adventurer. The goodwill of a maid so proficient with polearms is surely worth having.
- Inspired by Captain Landenel's
tales of intrigue from about the realm, Detoh Moshroca seeks Ul'dahn goods to expand her own worldly knowledge. To find something for her, speak with the Ul'dahn trader plying his wares in the Lower Paths. - Upon locating the Ul'dahn trader on the Lower Paths, you find less vending of goods taking place and more defending against infernal birds of prey. You rescue the Lalafell from a dire fate, and receive a set of Ul'dahn incense as a token of thanks. Take the precious aromatics to Wood Wailer Detoh Moshroca.
- The set of Ul'dahn incense is now in the hands of the intrepid Wailer maid, who received them with much thanks and exclamations of delight. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Or not.

Detoh Moshroca
I heard Captain Landenel regaling you with the many tales of his youth. Much has he seen and known, having journeyed throughout Eorzea with naught but his wits.
I am a child of the Twelveswood, a Wailer through and through. Never have I cast a shadow that was not forged by a sun that perches atop the great elm at dawn.
Yet travel I would, if only in mind. They say that...they say an Ul'dahn trader is nearby, to the south. Will you find for me a thing from that city strange and great? I have duties or else I would go. You'll not find me ungrateful.
Speak with the Ul'dahn trader.
Merchant
Now that, madam/sire, is what I call a close call! Good for nothing, that guard of mine. I swear these new sellswords are more of sellscabbards. Here, pray take this for your trouble, the more precious of my wares─Ul'dahn incense!
- FR Hélas, mon garde du corps n'a pas eu autant de chance. ‘Alas, my bodyguard was not so lucky.’ English calls his guard good for nothing; French says his bodyguard was not so lucky.
- FR Ces maudits condors lui ont dévoré les yeux. ‘Those cursed condors devoured his eyes.’ English puns that new sellswords are more like sellscabbards; French says condors devoured the guard's eyes.
A close call, this was. Another moment and I would have been carrion for their feast.
Deliver the Ul'dahn incense to Detoh Moshroca.
Detoh Moshroca
Did you...did you find something? Ah! I hope to the Twelve that it transports me, as the captain's tales do!
The scent! My head swims... I see markets and the Coliseum, languorous evening strolls past roses with the heat of the sun still on them.
- FR Les Uldiens doivent aimer les odeurs fortes... ‘The Ul'dahns must like strong smells...’ English says the scent conjures markets, the Coliseum and rose-lined strolls; French has her sneeze and say Ul'dahns like strong smells.
- DE Was ist das für ein Gewürz? ‘What kind of spice is this?’ English exclaims that the scent makes her head swim; German has her ask what kind of spice this is.
- DE So kocht man also in Ul'dah! ‘So that's how they cook in Ul'dah!’ English says the scent conjures markets, the Coliseum and rose-lined strolls; German has her conclude this is Ul'dahn cooking.
- JA ウルダハの民は、強い匂いの物を好むのだな……。 ‘The people of Ul'dah like strong-smelling things, I see...’ English says the scent conjures markets, the Coliseum and rose-lined strolls; Japanese has her sneeze and say Ul'dahns like strong smells.
What smells! They inflame my imagination, and possibly my sinuses! Thank you, adventurer, you have more than earned this.
