How to Start A Noble Exchange
Attend a Masquerade After Masked Correspondence
This quest becomes available after completing the Masked Correspondence quest. After doing so, attend the masquerade at Vernworth Hall, which only occurs at night.
As soon as you enter the hall, a masked man will tell you about the gift exchange, which starts the quest. Note that masquerades only take place every 2 nights.
Requires Courtly Attire to Attend the Masquerade

You'll need to wear the Eventide Mask, Courtly Tunic, and Courtly Breeches to take part of the masquerade.
You get the mask from Captain Brant when starting The Stolen Throne. There are multiple ways to get the Courtly Attire, but we recommend the one located at the Guest Chambers of Vernworth Castle 2F (nearest to the masquerade hall), as this is fairly easy to get to.

- All Possible Quest Outcomes
Exchange Gifts with the Nobles
Wander around Vernworth Hall and walk by the nobles so they can engage you in conversation and give you gifts. You can also talk to the guests themselves to give them gifts, but this isn't required.
Clear Yourself of Suspicion
After wandering about and giving gifts, the guards will suddenly announce that a thief has stolen an artifact called the Paragon Staff, and all masquerade guests will require inspection.
The Quest Giver is the Culprit
You received this staff at the start of the quest, and the thief is the same mysterious man who started the quest. He is the male guest with a black and gold mask and has combed-back medium-length hair.
Pay attention to this man, as the quest has different outcomes depending on how you handle the situation.
All Possible Quest Outcomes
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Grab the Thief | ・The thief gets caught but you lose the Paragon Staff |
Discard the Staff and Exit the Hall | ・Both you and the thief are free to leave ・You can buy the staff later at Ibrahim's Scrap Store for 60,000 Gold |
Discard the Staff and Grab the Thief (Recommended!) | ・The Thief gets caught ・You can buy the staff later at Ibrahim's Scrap Store for 60,000 Gold |
We recommend discarding the staff and grabbing the thief responsible for the heinous act to get the best outcome for this quest.
Where to Buy the Paragon Staff
Ibrahim's Scrap Store in Check Point Rest Town
If you discarded the staff while in Vernworth Hall, it eventually finds its way to Ibrahim's Scrap Store in Checkpoint Rest Town.
You can then buy the staff for 60, 000 Gold, which is a steep price but is the only way to get the Paragon Staff.
