Quest Details

Kenneth will deliver three bowls of Salt Broth to Clive for distribution to nearby customers. Two of these customers are located in the Fat Chocobo and the Ale Hall and are close enough for Kenneth to have thrown the bowls to them (even though that wouldn’t have been advisable). The third customer, however, is situated up the stairs on the way to where Harpocrates, also known as “Tomes,” is seated.
