Feeling better? Good. Now, why did you get those mushrooms? Were you curious about that rare specimen? Did you find it in a cook book as an ingredient? Or wait... Is there a particular reason, like... potion crafting?
(You notice Wing's expression growing more and more concerned, as he starts realizing why you're carrying that unique ingredient.)

Nice. I'll be waiting here!

Come on, it's not that hard!

Sigh, I almost forgot about that recipe. Truth to be told, I wish I never wrote it in that book... it's like using cheat codes, but for alchemists. There's only one use for violet sagecaps outside of cooking, and that's the Translucent Potion, so I take it you're here for the real recipe, aren't you?
(Your expression betrays all your confusion... the 'real recipe'? What is he talking about?)

Yep, you heard that right. The real recipe.
What I've written in that alchemy book is just a list of fake ingredients... apart from the sagecaps, that is. I didn't want everyone to be able to just craft that potion at will, but I also wanted to make a notable entry in a published book, so... What better way than to list nonexistant items, so that whoever was curious enough to go through with it would need to come by and ask me personally about it? This way, I have a full list of anyone who ever decided to craft some! That's very smart, isn't it?

Listen, you've come all this way, and you've even already collected the sagecaps, so I guess you're very interested in my potion. Also, you have a nice face, so you can't be someone up to no good. I'm feeling generous today, so I'll give you the correct recipe. You bring the ingredients, and we'll talk more about it, okay? I want you to bring me:
1 Lemon
100 Curse Eye Tail
200 Malady's Experimental Frog
100 Clang Claw
200 Tortie Shell
In addition to the Violet Sagecap you've already harvested, of course. Did you write it all down?

Here you are! I see you've gathered everything. Very good. I can't help you craft it, but I'm sure there's plenty of capable people around who could be of help. I suggest you meet with someone to-

1. Wait! I have a few questions, before that.

Questions? What? Is there something you don't understand in the recipe?

1. No, it's about the people who already crafted it. I'm looking for someone who could have misused it in order to steal something. How many people know this recipe?

Oh... Well, you see... There's been no one else. I've never had anyone come to me to ask about the true ingredients, and this is not something that can be figured out on one's own, so...

1. But that can't be... Someone definitely used this potion before. There were leftovers of it on some coins from a stolen treasure.

What? There's no way. No one came by, and I'm the only one who knows of this recipe. Well, apart from...

1. Apart from who?

Arel, my childhood friend. The only one who I shared secrets with, including this recipe. But I can't see Arel resorting to stealing. A good person can't suddenly have their mind twisted like that, can they?

1. I couldn't tell... But it's worth making sure. Where can I find Arel?

(With no way to gather more information on Arel's whereabouts, you decide to first focus on the potion. Maybe Sophia could help you once more? Let's pay her a visit.)

Actually, I don't know. It's been a few years since I last heard of them. We used to hang out together as kids, but we lost touch a while ago. I think the potion recipe is the last thing we did together before we parted ways. I do miss Arel, but... I'm afraid this can't be helped. That's all I know.
