Niccolo Quests Strategies and Tips
Throughout these quests, certain strategies can prove invaluable, such as:
- Regular Check-ins: Visit Niccolo’s Emporium frequently to unlock new quests and exchange corestones for ability seeds.
- Party Composition: For combat-heavy quests, consider using Morley as a Nightblade and Val in tanky classes.
- Level Appropriately: Some quests, especially Niccolo’s Last Request, require higher levels. Be prepared.
Keep in mind, the timing of Niccolo’s quest availability can change. It’s a good idea to visit him whenever you’re in Illystana. His quests don’t show up on the town map, so you’ll need to stop by in person to find new tasks.
So, next time you’re in Illystana, why not pay a visit to everyone’s favorite feline-rodent merchant? Adventure and riches await!
