Requires completion of Tressa’s Fourth Chapter to start. Ali, Tressa’s competitive friend, can be found in Sunshade, in the middle of town. He is on his way home, but doesn’t seem all too in a hurry to actually return, so he sends you on an impossible errand to stall for time. Travel to Marsalim and search out Maruf, who is in the little corner just south of the equipment shop. It’s hard to see, but there are some stairs on the southern side of the main square that allows access to this little area. Use Guide/Allure on Maruf, then return to Ali in Sunshade to finish the quest.
