Ambient dialogue

On the beach

Olmakhan Earthstalker: That crazed oakheart's been spotted again. We need to do something.

Olmakhan Windcaller: The hunting parties keep coming back empty-handed. I’ve heard the outlanders may try to take it down.

Olmakhan Fisher: I heard the elders are thinking of restricting hunting until the invaders are defeated.

Olmakhan Villager: I always preferred fishing anyway. Just give me fresh air and a spear in my hands.

At the farm

(when the player approaches the row of cabbages)

Kian: Stay out of my cabbages!

Kian: These outlanders, trompin' around all willy-nilly.

Kian: Leave the animals alone! They’re not pets, or toys!

Kian: Bah, those cubs. Can’t stress a marmox; makes the meat sour.

Kian: ...

Kian: ...

Olmakhan Cub (1): What's wrong?

Olmakhan Cub (2): My cousin's family left because of the dumb invaders, and he's got my favorite fishing spear.

Olmakhan Cub (1): I'm sure they'll be back. Those invaders won't last long with that outlander here.

Olmakhan Cub (2): Yeah, I hope so.

South of the farms

Olmakhan Farmer: Weren't you going to put a hunting party together to take down that Branded griffon?

Olmakhan Nightwalker: We tried.

Olmakhan Farmer: You got trounced?

Olmakhan Nightwalker: Shut up.

Notes

• There's a farm of tier three, five, and six harvesting nodes here. Each row contains four plants to harvest.
  • In the farm, the tiers five and six nodes can be harvested twice daily, but the second harvesting only nets two plants. The other two nodes disappear when you harvest your sixth.
  • This effect does not apply to any other nodes outside the farm.
  • The tier three nodes do not follow the standard daily reset pattern.
