Dialogue

Esteem Level 1

Eighteyes Eels

Frithrik: Many fishers avoid waters known to contain eighteyes eels, like the Rift of Sighs, but the nutritional benefits they offer are worth the risk. And by that, I mean “the risk of them cutting holes in your flesh and drinking your blood.”

Upon delivering the Eels

Frithrik: I say! This one must have been quite the bloodthirsty glutton─in a very literal sense─before you managed to reel it in!

Frithrik: Thank you for your hard work. I believe we have a sufficient number of eighteyes eels for the time being.
Frithrik: I don't think I mentioned this, but the people I used to test the treatment for shadow-blindness are acquaintances of mine who work in the Cabinet of Curiosity.
Frithrik: Old books must be kept out of the light if at all possible, so not being able to see in the dark poses something of a problem.
Frithrik: The curators have already started eating their eels, although we'll need to wait and see if they have the desired effect.
Frithrik: Of course, they welcomed the chance to try something different from the usual fare caught at the Source. Not only that, they were extremely satisfied with the taste!
Frithrik: Speaking of something different, I think it's high time we had you cast your line in new waters.
Frithrik: Having said that, I'm still investigating which condition we should attempt to treat next. In the meantime, perhaps you could hone your skills in preparation for challenges that lie ahead!

Esteem Level 2

Frithrik: Ah, [Forename]! I was hoping you would stop by, for I have most welcome news!

Esteem Level 2 (cutscene)

Frithrik: The course of eels we recommended to the curators of the Cabinet of Curiosity has done all we could have hoped for, and more. Some of them claim they can even read in the dark now!
Frithrik: At any rate, word of this treatment has spread throughout the city, and appears to have found its way to the ears of my compatriots in the Facet of Fishing.
Frithrik: Unfortunately, most of them remain convinced that I'm unfit to act as their leader, so I asked the chirurgeons of Spagyrics if there are any other diseases that they have difficulty treating.
Frithrik: They say that a lot of people come to them complaining of rashes and so on. However, a few of those patients have also taken to eating all sorts of strange things, such as coal and paper!
Frithrik: After consulting the Cabinet of Curiosity, I learned that these symptoms often occur in those who lack meat and dairy in their diets.
Frithrik: At first, I didn't see any way for the Facet of Fishing to help, but after a little more digging, I found that these types of food are rich in zinc.
Frithrik: Do you know what else is rich in zinc? Creamy oysters!
Frithrik: Unfortunately, they can be hard to come by unless you go all the way to Kholusia. But being the helpful sort you are, you'd be willing to go and snag some, wouldn't you?
Frithrik: Splendid! I'm sure the chirurgeons will be thrilled once Spagyrics is free of paper-munching patients!

Creamy Oysters

Frithrik: It sounds like the chirurgeons can't get those oysters soon enough─the patients have taken to eating parts of Spagyrics itself. If we delay any longer, there'll be nothing left of the place!
Frithrik: While skin rashes and strange eating habits are far from life-threatening, I imagine the sufferers are at their wits' end. We must do all we can to help them!
