Getting to the hunting spots

• Cake x20From Shumi's Request
• Lemon x15From Don Hwang's Request
• Return Scroll to Kerning City x2From Don Hwang's Request

After the 1,000-meso fee and the 1,120-meso Pure Water, you end about 1,067 mesos down.

Tips

• Only the first errand (Don Hwang's Request) charges the 1,000-meso fee. Shumi's and Andre's Requests list no fee.
• Kerning City Middle Forest I-III have both Orange Mushrooms and Ribbon Pigs, so you can do Don Hwang's whole hunt on one map.
• Pure Water isn't sold in Kerning. Buy one whenever you pass through Sleepywood or Florina Beach so you don't need a special trip.
• Use your 2 Return Scrolls to Kerning City to get back to Nella from the Perion fields or Sleepywood.
• Keep extra Octopus Legs. Mrs. Ming Ming's chain needs 30 more, so farm 50 in one trip if you're doing both.

Still being confirmed

• Nella's exact spot in Kerning City since the Oct 15 Kerning rework isn't confirmed.
• Jane in Lith Harbor may also sell Pure Water, but nobody has confirmed it.
