Rowan

**Rowan** is one of the many NPCs met from the start of the game. As the owner of the village tavern, he will offer a free Mug o' Sap to greet you on your initial visit. The free Mug o' Sap can be sold to the merchants in the market next to the center village plaza for some Petals.

Rowan is also a good source of info when you have no other quests or favors to complete. Just 'ask him for rumors' and he will point you in the direction of anyone who needs help, saving time from having to ask each individual if they need anything.

## Gifting

 This article or section is not a stub, but still **needs help**. Please feel free to improve it.

Giving held items as gifts to Rowan can affect his friendship level with the player, which can unlock more quests.

**Receiving gifts:** *"Playername! You shouldn't have!"*

**Favorite gifts:** *"How nice! I'll have to find a good place to keep it! Does this mean you've been paying proper attention to my rumours? I can't see how else you'd come up with such a good gift!"*

**Liked gifts**: *"Thank you! I certainly appreciate the gesture!"*

**Hated gifts**: *"Hmm... In future, please keep such things out of my tavern."*

## Quests

### *Rowan's Parcel*

    During the tutorial with Farm Fan, she will send you to Rowan with a note. He will ask you to run a little errand for him while he decides what to do with Farm Fan. Rowan hands you a note to take to Leif, who is very happy to see you and take the parcel off his hands. Leif will congratulate you on your new pet and will gift you some pet related items that will come in handy and tells you that he sells lots of useful items. But please would you get that parcel out of his presence. Rowan expresses delight in receiving his parcel and explains that it is a special type of fermented fish. He then tells you that your pet has already been sent to Farm Fan and hands you a letter to give to her. He sends you back to the farm, but tells you first that it gets lively in the evenings and you should stop by.

###  *Nectar of the Gods*

    When you stop in to visit Rowan he will ask you what brings you to these parts and that he was just thinking about you. But not in a bad way. Rowan tells you that he has been considering teaching you his secret sap recipe, but only if you can do something for him in return. When you bring back the items he requests, he asks you to look away while he makes his secret ingredient. The secret ingredient is needed for making sap, but you'll have to buy that from him whenever you want to make sap. He then rewards you.

###  *Elixir of Life*

This time when you talk with Rowan he will tell you that your timing is good as always. Now that the sap supply is no longer under threat he's had time to worry about other things. Rowan will tell you that a long time ago he and his brother had a dream that never quite came to be. However, the other day he was digging through some old boxes when he came across a certain recipe. Just a few notes his brother had written down in the margin of a far more important document. Rowan tells you that now is the time to try again. The small issue though is that he can't deal with while minding the tavern. So he gives you a description of the machine needed and sends you to talk to the Murmurs to see if they can find one. When you bring it back Rowan realizes that you need coffee beans to make coffee. So back to the Murmurs you go to see if anyone sells coffee beans. Better yet, maybe they will sell coffee bean seeds so that we can grow our own coffee beans. Talk to the Murmur's, wait for coffee beans to rotate through the seeds on Holly's cart or you might find them in Leif's store. Grow some coffee beans and bring them back to Rowan.

Reward: Rowan's Mug

###  *Food for the Soul*

    For this quest, Rowan tells you about the plan that never was. When he first came to the island, he tells you, it wasn't to set up a tavern. He and his brother had a dream to build a classy establishment serving trendy meals alongside their sap. But that didn't exactly do well. Rowan wants to change that with your help. The tavern is going to be expanded. He will give you some blueprints to get started. The rest of the requirements will be on the tavern sign. After you finish, go talk to Rowan. The only problem left is that he can't manage a kitchen, look after the counter and deliver orders all by himself. So your task now is to find someone who can work for him part-time. Rowan asks you to talk with Leif and Farm Fan first since they're at the tavern most of the time anyway. After talking to those two, go back to Rowan who expresses disappointment that you couldn't find anybody. He then asks you about doing a bit of part-time work. Not every day, just when necessary. When you say yes, he will give you three orders to deliver. After successfully delivering the orders he will reward you.
