==Detailed Guide==
After talking to [[Rachella]] (concluding the [[Find Captain Waltain]] [[quest]]), she explains that she'll share the information she has regarding the [[Red Robed Sorcerer]] in exchange for you helping her obtain items to become a member of the [[Merchants Guild]].

She tells you to obtain the [[Merchants Guild List]] from [[Channer Goldway]] in the Merchants' Guild.

Upon talking to Goldway, he reveals that there are only two ways to join the Guild: either be a member of one of the great trading families, or prove yourself as an excellent merchant by completing a challenge of obtaining a list of items. The list is added to the quest inventory, and reads:

''You read the list of items. It says - Leather worker's Patch, Street Hag Earring, Water of Delight, Greenstowe Silver Candlestick, Beef Joint, Clockwork Sheep.
''

===Obtaining the Items===
Items can be obtained in any order, but all must be obtained to proceed with the quest. The quest recommends fetching two of every item so that both Rachella ''and'' the player can become members of the Merchants' Guild.

Items can either be delivered after obtaining them, or all at once at the end of the quest. With the exception of the [[Beef Joint|Beef Joints]] and [[Clockwork Sheep]], items are kept in the quest inventory and do not occupy player inventory space.

One of each item should be delivered to [[Channer Goldway]] (for the player's ability to join the Merchants' Guild), and the other of each item to [[Rachella]] to progress the quest.

====Street Hag Earring====
'''''Note:''' This location is right near the [[Soap Shop]], so you can pick some up there if needed for the Bottled Water of Delight.''

Killing [[Street Hag|Street Hags]] will offer a chance to receive an earring as a drop. A text box will appear after each kill, either showing "No earring on this particular hag" (meaning an unsuccessful drop), or "Hurrah. This hag has an earring!".

Continue to kill hags until two earrings have been obtained.

====Leatherworker's Patch====
'''''Needed:''' Level 10 [[File:Leatherworker icon.png|22x22px]] [[Leatherworker]], 1 [[Brown Cow Leather]]''

Talk to [[Jack Wellis]] in the [[Leatherworks]], telling him that you'd like to learn to make a leatherworker's patch. He'll tell you that they are only for accredited leatherworkers of [[Crenopolis]].

If you are not yet a level 10 [[Leatherworker]], he'll inform you that you have not yet trained enough. Once you're at least level 10, he'll consider you "accredited" and agree to show you how to make the the patches.

If at that point you don't have any basic [[Brown Cow Leather]] in your inventory, he'll ask you to fetch that first. This must be made yourself, from a [[Brown Cow Hide]], rather than purchased from a store.

With the leather in your inventory, Wellis will then allow you to craft two patches.

====Bottled Water of Delight====
'''''Needed:''' 2 [[Bottle|Bottles]], 1 [[Soap]] (obtainable during quest)''

Talking to [[Channer Goldway]] about the item will reveal that it comes from the [[Spring of Delight]] in the north of the city. He'll inform you that today the spring resides beneath the property of [[Kaynat Wray]], who is quite particular about who can access the water.

Head to [[Kaynat's Garden]] and speak to [[Kaynat's Doorman]]. After telling him that you've come to see the Fountain of Delight, he'll push back and inform you that the seeing the fountain is by invitation only. Trying to convince him that you work there as a new servant suggests that you might be able to sneak in with the right attire.

After telling him you're struggling to find your uniform, he'll ask if you're the new servant who works on [[Murkwell Lane]]. After agreeing, he'll suggest you look there to find it.

Head to the [[Servant's House]] in Murkwell Lane. The actual servant will be sat at a table, wearing the clothes you need to acquire. ''Push'' the pudding on the table in front of him, which will cause you to "accidentally" spill it over him. He'll panic and rush to the bath to clean up.

Inside the [[Servant's Bathroom]], pick up the [[Servant's Clothes]] from the floor, which will be added to your quest inventory. If you don't at this point have any soap, head to the [[Soap Shop]] and purchase one from [[Bubbles MacLeish]].

Back in the Servant's House, ''use'' the clothes on the [[Copper sink]] to clean them. This will use up the soap from your inventory.

Equip the clothes from your quest inventory and head back to Kaynat's Garden and talk to the doorman again, telling him you work there. He'll acknowledge your clothes and unlock the door for you.

Head north to the [[Fountain of Delight]] and use two bottles on the fountain. You'll need to do this two separate times. The filled bottles will be added to your quest inventory.

====Greenstowe Silver Candlesticks====
'''''Needed:''' Level 16 [[File:Detective icon.png|22x22px]] [[Detective]]

Head to [[Bogg's Antiques]] and talk to him about Greenstowe Silver Candlesticks. He'll tell you that he used to have them, but they were stolen a couple of months ago. After telling him you work for the city guard, he'll tell you that he's already reported the crime and [[Sergeant Scowler]] is in charge of the investigation, but hasn't heard much information other than that.

Head to the [[Investigation Hall]] and speak with Sergeant Scowler. After asking him about Bogg's case, he'll tell you that he's been putting it off because of higher priority cases. You'll ask if you can take a look into it, and he'll agree by suggesting you take a look at his case in the [[Guard's Archive]] room.

Search the ''A-Cla'' files inside the Archive room to find Bogg's File, it will be put into your quest inventory. Reading the file says:

''Residents saw a man entering Slant Street around the time of the crime. He smelt of greasy meat. He had a top tied ponytail, and an anchor beard.''

Optionally, visit [[Slant Street]] and talk to the civilians who will eventually tell you that there is a man in [[Thadwick Square]].

Head to Thadwick Square and question [[Hallig]] about his reason for being on Slant Street during the time of the crime. He'll explain that he was fetching supplies for his stall, and provides a credible alibi. He'll inform you that he saw [[Evaldrick Peters]], a servant for [[Fillan]], leaving the antique store with a large sack. He tells you that Fillan lives on [[Peacock Road North]].

Head to Peacock Road North and attempt to ''Knock'' on the north-west door. A worried voice will answer, exclaiming that he demands you have a warrant from [[Captain Waltain]] before you can enter the property.

Visit the Captain in [[Waltain's Office]], telling him that you need a warrant to enter Fillan's house. Waltain is initially skeptical, explaining that Fillan is a rich man, though is easily persuaded after you explain that his servant had stolen the candlesticks.

With the warrant in your quest inventory, head back to Fillan's house and ''Break Down'' the door. Head north to [[Fillan's Storeroom]] and pick up the [[Loot Box]]. Searching the box (which is now in your quest inventory) will provide the two candlesticks, and tell you that it should be taken back to Sergeant Scowler.

Return to the Investigation Hall and give the box to Scowler who will praise your good work and award you with [[File:Detective icon.png|22x22px]] [[Detective]] experience.

====Beef Joints====
'''''Needed:''' Level 6 [[Merchant]]''

A [[Beef Joint]] can be purchased from [[Henderson]] in [[Henderson's Meat]] at [[Merchant]] level 6.

This item does not go into the quest inventory, so two free slots will be needed if purchasing both at the same time.

====Clockwork Sheep====
'''''Needed:''' Level 8 [[Merchant]]''

A [[Clockwork Sheep]] can be purchased from [[Penny Palmer]] in [[Lord's Road East]] at [[Merchant]] level 8.

This item does not go into the quest inventory, so two free slots will be needed if purchasing both at the same time.

===Finishing Up===
Once all items have been gathered, take the first half to [[Channer Goldway]] in the [[Merchant's Guild]]. Once the items have been given, he'll congratulate you on becoming a Guild member and grant you access to player to player [[trading]].

With the remaining half of the items, return to [[Rachella]] in the [[Goose Inn Bar]] and give her all of the items. This will then progress the [[Main Story]] progress to ''[[Head to Stonemaw Hill]]''.
