Question about on of the sTORY quests nin ul'Duran

[Slatervonjager]

which you have to buy from a merchant (though the quest reward usualy gives you back the ammount of gil you have to spend for the item.

Uh, you don't actually buy them, they're given to you. In fact, story quests that ask you to get special items like that, do not cost you any gil at all.


As for the pumpkin deal, there is a marker on your map showing you where to get the pumpkin at(it's that little farm west of the train station in central thanalan where papashan is at).

Once you have it, there will be another marker directing you to the Coffin and Coffer, where you will finish the quest, and have access to more quests(helpful tip, when you do that quest to take food orders, one guy is outside, on the cliff above the pub).
