Guild employees—Ingredients procurers

Written by Madame Solène de Nivers for the rune guild.

Ingredient procurers are often overlooked yet they are essential employees of the rune guild without whom we would not be able to craft artefacts of the highest quality. All guild members will have to work with them during their career at the guild, and it is best to quickly forge a trusting relationship with them.

Monsieur Gilles de Nande is a top procurer working exclusively with the rune guild. He specialises in the Garna Forest and will always be sure to bring you back the best ingredients—so long as you are willing to put in the right price.
In addition to his own work, Monsieur de Nande also oversees the group of procurers employed by the guild on a contract-basis and coordinate their work so that all guild members' orders are suitably fulfilled. Stay in his good grace if you want to get your hands on quality ingredients!

Guild members' opinions

What a sleazy guy. But he's the real deal beneath it all—just don't let him convince you to double the price you previously agreed on.

— Master Jean Lannoie

Ignore all of his showmanship and grandiloquence; he is surprisingly competent beneath it all, and even more shockingly, he can be trusted to always share the exact quality and harvest method of his ingredients.

— Master Sérénius de Coroy
