==Dialogue==
;(First interaction)
:Balaway: "Miner's Lamp" has stopped all appraisal services. The announcement has all the details. Please leave...
: Appraisal? Of what?
: Announcement? What announcement?
:Balaway: ...Are you here to cause trouble?
:Balaway: What? Hold on... Are you from the Outside? Everyone's talking about your story!
:Balaway: Haha, no wonder you don't know me. That was embarrassing. Please excuse me!
:Balaway: My name is Balaway. I am an expert in relic appraisal. People all call me Miner's Lamp. Nice to meet you.
:Balaway: Anyway, effective from today, I, "Miner's Lamp" Balaway will stop all appraisal services. It's a long story. You can have a look at this notice.
:Balaway: Or do you have other business?
;(Obtained )

;(Subsequent interactions)
:Balaway: Go away. The relic appraisal service is no longer offered...
:Balaway: But you can tell me if you have some other business.
: Can we talk...?
:: What are relics?
:::Balaway: ...Are you sure you're not here to mess with me?
:::Balaway: Fine, fine. I understand. You are an Outsider. It's normal that you don't know the history of Belobog.
:::Balaway: Now that you've asked, let me explain to you. Do you know the "Eternal Freeze?"
::: Yes.
::::Balaway: Good. You seem to know some of the history here.
::: I don't know.
::::Balaway: ...Are you really from the Outside? You are not lying?
:::Balaway: Although it's warm inside the wall all year round, there are constant snowstorms outside the wall. If you are really from the Outside, you must have seen it.
:::Balaway: This snowstorm isn't just temporary... Since seven hundred years ago, this heavy snow hasn't stopped for a minute.
:::Balaway: Before the snowstorm, Belobog's technology level was way much higher than it is now. Belobog residents call that "ancient times."
:::Balaway: As the name suggests, relics are antiques from before the Eternal Freeze.
:: What have you appraised?
:::Balaway: Ha! Too many! I can keep talking about it for two or three days.
:::Balaway: But the most interesting thing is the torture device from the Old World.
:::Balaway: Like... collar around the neck or anvil that automatically heats up? Tsk tsk, the life of criminals in the Old World must be hard.
:: What is your appraisal process?
:::Balaway: Well... First of all, people bring their relics to me, okay?
:::Balaway: After it is handed over to me, I will start to evaluate it. After the appraisal, I will tell them the relevant functions and a price reference.
:::Balaway: Basically, that's it. The last step is I'll charge according to the difficulty of appraisal.
::: I'm interested in your appraisal method.
::: How do you distinguish the difficulty of the appraisal?
:::Balaway: It's a bit complicated. Most smaller items have relatively simple structures. You can find out its function structure by referring to respective documents.
:::Balaway: The bigger items are the real trouble. Generally speaking, I have to disassemble them and check everything carefully.
::: Disassemble?
::::Balaway: Right. The function and value of relics can only be appraised accurately after they are disassembled.
::::Balaway: By the way, once the relics are disassembled, there is a risk that they can't be reassembled.
::::Balaway: And the risk... Naturally is to be borne by customers themselves.
::: Refer to documents?
::::Balaway: I have collected all the remaining newspapers and magazines left from the Old World.
::::Balaway: There are articles that show items with similar appearance and function. They are of a great reference value.
::: I see.
:::Balaway: There is a lot of knowledge about relics, right? It must be eye-opening for laymen like you, haha!
:: I don't have any other questions.
: Well, it's a pity that you don't do appraisals anymore.
::Balaway: It's more of a pity for me. Forget it...

;(Included in subsequent interactions, upon completing Trailblaze Mission No Time for Me, My Friend)
: How have things been?
::Balaway: Same as always. Anyway, I'm not in the relic appraisal business anymore.
::Balaway: However, I've been thinking about getting back into it...
:: Alright, I've got your back.
:::Balaway: Haha, if that's the case, then I'll give you a twenty percent off if you come see me for your appraisals!
:::Balaway: If the people of Boulder Town were more like you, I'd never have stopped my appraisal business. Fortunately, we'll be allowed up in the Overworld soon...
:: How can you be so impulsive?
:::Balaway: Hey, I'm just following the trend, right? Haven't you heard the same? They're opening up the Overworld and the Underworld again...
::Balaway: They're all reasonable people up there in the Overworld. Not like these miners down here in Boulder Town who'd carve me up if I say the wrong thing...
::Balaway: Now that my life's not in danger, why don't I start over with my relic appraisal business? Remember to stop by next time and give me some business, haha!

;(After obtaining )
: I'm holding a fistful of crystals...
::Balaway: Ah, what? Are you hard of hearing? I told you, I'm not an appraiser anymore...
::Balaway: Huh!? This... This is...
::Balaway: Tsk tsk, this is... A rare sight. Truly a rare sight, indeed...
::Balaway: Uh... Why are you looking at me like that? All you want anyway is to just exchange these treasures for some money, right? You take this, and I'll take the stone... Remember, don't go snitching about this deal!
