Trader Minaless, who grows herbs as a subsidiary business, has recently been growing a flower called nightshade. Nightshade needs special fertilizers, and zombie dust is needed to create them. Trader Minaless will reward anyone who brings zombie dust after defeating the zombies in the Marshlands, south of the Dark Forest.

To make nightshade fertilizer I must collect all sorts of odd ingredients, and it requires a lot of time and effort. I need someone to collect ingredients for me. Could you help me?
Player choice:
Nightshade must be fertilized by zombie dust. It is a component made by drying the skin of corpses and pounding them into dust. This is said to be more effective when it is made by older corpses. I sought the advice of Tetrarch Vellior, who said that he collects the skin of the undead to make zombie dust.
If you go to the Marshlands, southwest of the village, the
marsh zombies that were massacred by our race a long time ago haunt the grounds. Please collect their skin. I will pay you for 5 Zombie's Skins.
I grow many medicinal herbs as a side job. Of course, my efforts don't compare at all to Tetrarch Vellior's herb garden, but I am raising a few priceless herbs like nightshade and belladonna. However, as precious as they are, they must be given a special fertilizer. To make the fertilizer of the nightshade, one must collect all sorts of different materials, and it takes a lot of time and effort. It would be nice if you could help me later on. ...
(Quest for characters level 11 and above.)
Thank you! This is enough to make fertilizer for a month. I will compensate you as I promised! I will also give you a reagent made from the juice of nightshade I harvested just recently. My skills are yet poor, so the effect is weak, but I think you will still find it quite useful.
I must have at least five zombie skins to make zombie dust. If you go to the Marshlands southwest of the village, there are many
marsh zombies that aimlessly wander around.
