Reynard is an NPC in Dragon's Dogma.
Overview[]
- "A wandering merchant who travels the length of the peninsula. He is always on the lookout for rare items."
Reynard is a traveling peddler, selling his wares throughout the main settlements of Gransys. He can also provide enhancing of equipment.
Reynard is first encountered shortly after meeting Rook and exiting Cassardis for the first time during the main quest Upon a Pawn. He will be found on Seabreeze Trail on the path to The Encampment, and will need rescuing from a group of Goblins, else he will perish during this assault if the Arisen or their Pawns do not intervene in time to save him.
Once the Arisen arrives in Gran Soren, his escort quest, The Peddler's Petition, to accompany him to the Greatwall Encampment becomes available, which can be acquired from the notice board inside the Union Inn in Gran Soren.
Reynard may also supply affidavits of dubious provenance during the quest Trial and Tribulations.
Reynard's backstory is uncovered during the quest Search Party; which involves gathering several items for him scattered around Gransys. In return, his inventory of purchasable equipment will expand with each returned item.He will then sell rare items of clothing, armors, and enchanted weapons that may not be found elsewhere.
Quest[]
- Search Party
- Upon a Pawn (optional)
- The Peddler's Petition (escort quest)
- Trial and Tribulations (optional)
- Committed to Memory (sells the required items)
Caution! Completion of Search Party removes him from the game until New Game Plus is started, unless he becomes the Arisen's beloved.
Locations[]
If rescued on Seabreeze Trail Reynard will turn up at The Encampment after defeating the Cyclops during Call of the Arisen.
After completing the quest Off With Its Head, he travels from one location to another, working as a traveling vendor. He generally does not begin business till 10am, so it is necessary to wait a while after sleeping for him to arrive.
He appears to have a fixed circular itinerary, traveling from one place to another in order, staying at each place a day or two. In order :
- Cassardis, across the street from Pablos' Inn.
- The Encampment, near the southern entrance.
- Gran Soren, around Fountain Square during the day and in the Union Inn at night.
- Greatwall Encampment, next to the Riftstone.
- Rest Camp near Devilfire Grove
Quotes[]
"That was far too close... I'm called Reynard. A travelling salesman, though those damnable beasts ruined my wares... But thanks to you, it was only wares I lost. I'll consider it a bargain. You have my thanks."
"I fear this is all I've left to offer you. With luck, you'll find some use in it. I'd best be off afore more appear... Hope to see you again, friend, once I've new stock!"
(when spoken to after rescue, and once again on the way to Cassardis)
"Hoy there. Been some time, hasn't it? Enough time to become well famous, in your case. The Arisen... Heh, 'tis the second coming of Duke Dragonsbane, I daresay. I like it, friend. I like it well." (welcome at the Encampment)
"Hmm, I feel as if we've met someplace. Per'aps not... I'm called Reynard, a travelling merchant. Perchance our paths will cross again. If so, do not be a stranger, eh?" (welcome at the Encampment, if rescued without a word)
"I've been at my wandering a year now, all around Gransys.Seems some things lost are loath to be found anew... Mm? Ah, pay it no mind. Idle muttering, friend."

Notes[]
- If Reynard is not rescued during the initial encounter from the Goblins en route to The Encampment, he will die and be removed from the game completely until New Game Plus.
- Reynard's escort request may easily lead to his death, as it can be acquired early in the game when the Arisen is relatively unskilled, and the journey is quite perilous. Also, during the escort, if the party stumbles upon a large enemy, such as a Cyclops or a Chimera, he will wander gormlessly around seemingly oblivious to the danger.
- Reynard may be hard to keep track of while he is moving about : at three points during the quest Search Party his location will be indicated with a map marker. Neglecting to complete his item requests will leave the quest active, making him easier to find whilst his shop and services will still be available.
- His outfit, the Set of Fop's Trek Wear is avaiable to wear only in Dark Arisen.
- Search Party is one of the quests required for The Hero trophy or achievement.
- Reynard may not appear at the Alehouse if the mission The Peddler's Petition is available at the Union Inn Notice Board, but will appear according to schedule once again once the mission is accepted and completed, expires, or is cancelled.
