The Squire's Request
The Squire's Request is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Squire merchant, part of the The Kind Adventurer quest line. Hello, adventurer. Um... could I ask you for a small favor? I'm helping out adventurers here for now, but it's always been my dream to go on a real adventure myself someday. My uncle, the Tavern Master, keeps saying it's too soon and won't let me go. But I just know I could do well, if I had some decent gear. If you could find me a few pieces... would you, maybe? Please? There are 2 objectives to complete: Bring 1× Armor (Common); Bring 1× Weapon (Common). All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Squire in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Is it you? before it becomes available from Squire. Completing The Squire's Request rewards 30 Gold, Random Uncommon Armor, 25 XP. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Squire quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The The Kind Adventurer chain provides a structured progression path through the Squire quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.

But... sometimes I think he's a bit overprotective. Still, I suppose it's up to me to prove myself first. If I can do that, then even he won't be able to say no.”
