All Marco's Shop Requests Guide

At some point during the story, the Guild Hall at your base camp will receive an upgrade. This will also improve Marco’s Shop, to the point where he’ll start making requests. Doing these requests involve delivering him five items, with there being five different levels. Each of the items for each level will pertain to one of the five Crafting Lives, so it’s a good idea to rank up each of these to make it easier on yourself. In fact, the final set of requests will require you to have each of the Crafting Lives at Master, if you intend to do everything yourself. Continue reading to find out where to get all of the items needed for each request level.

All Marco’s Shop Level 1 Requests¶

It’s important to know that items with (+) are only gotten by crafting, so you won’t be able to purchase them at all. With that knowledge, let’s start with the Mushroom Quiche + first. This is a Cooking recipe and is available right from the Fledging set of recipes. It requires Chicken Eggs, Milk, and Mushrooms, all items that can be purchased from Eternia Village at the very beginning of the game. To get the plus versions of items, you’ll need to get Great or Perfect when crafting them, which just involves having a high crafting skill.

Thankfully, both the Iron Ingots and Cherry Lumbers can be bought from the Material Shop (Faraway Island). This is the one at Terrasa Farm, the spot where you have a bunch of farming crops. The ingots cost 200 dosh a piece, while the lumber is 130 dosh a piece. Similarly, you can get Wool from the Material Shop (Capital of Mysteria); they cost 80 dosh each. It’s possible you may some have HP Potions + from finding them, or from Gift Codes/preorder bonus.

If not, then you need to be an Alchemist to make some. You only need five Healweed to make an HP Potion, which are pretty common ingredients. Remember that you need to craft them at Great/Perfect to get the plus version, although it shouldn’t need too high of a crafting stat to reach that. Once you have all of the items, return to Marco and you should see “View Request” change to “Deliver.” Hand in the items you’ll get Rank 1 Marco’s Shop.

All Marco’s Shop Level 2 Requests¶

For the second level of Marco’s Shop requests, you will be pretty much doing more of the same, in terms of crafting. The Tuna Sashimi + requires you to use cooking to get them, with the recipe coming from leveling up the Cook Life. All of the ingredients can come from the other Lives, but you can also purchase them all, if needed. The Tuna and Radish can be bought from the Restaurant (Capital of Mysteria), while the Pine Nuts can be bought from the Material Shop (Faraway Island), although you can also get a bunch from Pine Trees.

For the Silver Ingot, normally you’d have to wait until you reach Tropica Isles to get the Tropica Silver to craft them, but you can purchase them from Beetle Borough in Ginormosia (if the rank is high enough). The same is true for the Sugar Lumber, as Sugar Trees don’t normally appear until Tropica Isles, but you can also purchase them from the Panther Preserve settlement in Ginormosia. Of course, you can also just outright purchase them from the Material Shop in Tropica Isles.

The Linen is something you can purchase from the Material Shop (Lulab Forest), so if you are in Tropica Isles, you don’t have to go too far for that. The last item on the list requires you to use Alchemy to craft it, the Energy Powder +. The good thing is that you can purchase all of the ingredients, though. The Vitalweed and Rejuvenating Berries are from the Material Shop (Capital of Mysteria), while the Soulweed is from the Lulab Forest shop.

All Marco’s Shop Level 3 Requests¶

The third level of requests will start asking for a little more, although you can still purchase some of the items from various shops. The first item, the Apple Pie +, as you already know, needs to be made by cooking. Luckily, all of the ingredients can be bought, from two sources. The Castele Apple and Milk is from the Restaurant (Capital of Mysteria) and the Cherry Honey and Faraway Wheat is from the Restaurant (Faraway Island); the latter is in the Terrasa Farm section.

If you’re looking to purchase the Gold Ingots, you’ll have to wait until you get to Swolean Island. If you need to craft them, you can mine the Swolean Gold easily in the western areas of Ginormosia. The same holds true for Starry Lumber, as you cannot buy it until you reach Swolean Island. Gathering it yourself is only possible on the main story islands, via The Depths B2. However, you can also get it in Wingtip Valley in Ginormosia (northeastern area). The Black Paint is also bought on Swolean Island and while you can get the Black Anthurium at select locations, you cannot buy those until the same place.

The last item on this list is the Flare Cashmere, another item that you cannot purchase and can only be crafted. Once you get to the appropriate Tailor rank, you will find this recipe, which requires you to use Golden Goat Fleece. This material only drops from the Goldmeer gold-crowned boss, with two located in the western half of Lulab Forest. You can also find one in Pettlewing Forest, the dungeon in the Pettlewing Woods area of Ginormosia. The only problem with that is it requires Pettlewing at Area Rank 5, and the Goldmeer there is level 70, at a minimum.

All Marco’s Shop Level 4 Requests¶

The easiest of the shop levels, especially if you have a lot of money, as you can buy four of the items. The Platinum Ingots, Skytree Lumber, Stardust Linen and Rainbow Paint can all be bought at Swolean Island. If you wish to get the materials yourself and craft them, Platinum Ore can be found in the northern areas of Ginormosia (Moltana and Scorchrock), as well as in the Depths B2. Skytrees can be found in the Cave of Trials, although there are very few nodes in Shroomhaven in Ginormosia. Starry Thread is needed for the Stardust Linen, which can be dropped by Meteoroids in the Cave of Trials.

Rainbow Paint needs one of each type of Anthurium, but considering the annoyance of having to try and collect them, it’s better to just buy the paint. Hi-Energy Powder is the final item here, which requires some ingredients to make it. You can get the regular Energy Powder from Polo’s Shop in your Guild Hall at the base camp. Coal-Black Feathers can be bought from Tropica Isles (material shop), Antipara Berries from Faraway Island, and Trial Cavedew from Swolean Island.

All Marco’s Shop Level 5 Requests¶

The final shop level will require you to craft all of them, since you can’t really find any of these items on their own and everything needed requires Master rank in the crafting classes. The first item is the Roast of Legend, a food that requires cooking and needs five ingredients. Dragon Meat drops from either the Napdragon or Prairie Dragon, while Monster Meat is from the Great Chimera. For the Wild Beast Meat, you can get it from the Taurus, and Mustard you can just buy from one of the restaurants at Swolean Island.

The last item for the Roast of Legend is a little elusive, the Wicked Mandrake, as it’s one of the Boss Veggies. You’ll either need to grow it yourself at your base camp (Shadow Carrots), or wait until you complete the main story. This allows you to farm Dark Fires from shadow enemies, which can then be used to break the purple seals you’ve seen in a few of the dungeons. For the Wicked Mandrake, the purple seal in Spirit Road (Faraway Island) is housing one that’s growing naturally and respawns.

The Magic Ingots and Pink Silks are two items that require you to get other items in order to craft them. Pink Silk Threads are mostly dropped from Sand Spiders and Greater Sand Spiders, both of which can be found in abundance in the Dryridge Desert areas of Ginormosia. Note that you might need to raise the Area Rank of those before the regular Sand Spiders drop items. You can also find a pack of Sand Spiders in The Depths B3. As for the Magic Ore needed for those ingots, normally you’d have to chance it by diving into Treasure Groves. However, there is a shrine in Ginormosia, the Sker’ri Shrine to be exact, that has a Great Magic Ore Deposit that can be repeatedly farmed (mine it, then pause the game and reset the shrine to start there again).

Moving onto the Heal-All +, you will need three items in order to craft it, all of which can be bought. The Hi-HP Potion can be gotten from the shop in the multiplayer room of your Guild Hall of the base camp (Polo’s Shop). Gigaga Truffles and Trial Cavedew can both be bought from one of the restaurants on Swolean Island (there are two restaurants here). The final item on the list, the Arched Gate, is an Artist recipe, requiring five items. Rushdelion can be bought from the Capital of Mysteria, the Fortune’s Fluff from Faraway Island, and the Vitabloom/Rainbow Paint from Swolean Island. The only thing you’ll have to go get yourself is the Elder Skytree Logs, since the only way to buy those is from the wandering merchant in Ginormosia.
