Overview

Silas is the Exotic Goods Merchant in the Medieval King's Demesne. His current walkthrough includes repeatable Talk, Appraisal training, two one-time Commerce boosts, special-gift crafting, shop purchases, the Emerald Dragon trade involving Jade, brothel promotion, performance reactions and optional private-client bookings.

Quick Stats and Availability

Attribute Value
Age / era / alignment 57 / Medieval / Evil
Shop and portrait hours Exotic Goods Merchant, every day 6 AM–9 PM
Favorite relationship bonuses Intelligence 40; Commerce 30; Wealth $15,000
Special relationship skill Negotiation; a bonus if already learned
His current character age field is 57, even though an older backstory string gives a different age. His shop and personal portrait share the 6 AM–9 PM window. He has no current authored personal H2H, date, apartment conversation or NPC intimacy gallery.
  1. Visit the shop and use Talk to Silas, up to four positive times each day.
  2. If your exact proficiency is Salesman, claim Money Talks for Commerce +2.
  3. At Known, learn Appraisal if you need it, and claim Merchant Wisdom once you have Communication 70.
  4. Build Jade to Acquaintance, obtain the Emerald Dragon key item, and own the Rose & Thorn to use Trade Emerald Dragon from the shop's location menu.
  5. Continue Jade's own route after the trade. Recruiting her is a separate step, described on Jade.
  6. Once Jade is active as worker #15, use Ask Silas to Spread the Word for a one-time Promotion increase.
  7. Use Silas's repeatable crafted-gift trade when you need an Abyssal Looking Glass for another character's training upgrade.

Personal Actions and Lessons

Action Requirements Cost Reward / limit
Talk to Silas His live shop portrait 10 minutes 1 actual base affection; four positive talks daily
Money Talks Exact player proficiency Salesman; not claimed 45 minutes Commerce +2 and 5 direct affection; once per save
Learn Appraisal Known; Appraisal not already learned 120 minutes; $700 Learns Appraisal; 10 base affection; hides once learned
Merchant Wisdom Known; Communication 70; not claimed 30 minutes Commerce +1 and 10 direct affection; once per save
Craft Abyssal Looking Glass His live shop portrait; required dungeon drops 5 Abyssal Eye; 2 Shimmering Heartscale; 3 Soul Thread One Abyssal Looking Glass; repeatable
Talk stays at 1 base rather than increasing at later relationship stages. Talking beyond the allowance records negative affection. Money Talks checks the exact Salesman proficiency value; another proficiency with strong Commerce is not a substitute.
The Appraisal lesson uses the generic learning path and grants its 10 base once, rather than an extra second reward from the older character-specific handler. No additional stat threshold is configured on this lesson action. Money Talks and Merchant Wisdom use direct affection, without applying the ordinary base-point multiplier a second time.
The crafted gift consumes the listed Infinity Dungeon drops once per craft. It configures no additional time, Gold, Energy, Calm or Silas affection reward. Abyssal Looking Glass is a special gift used by routes such as Foxy and Sashimi; ordinary Perfume does not replace it.
Listed relationship rewards are base values. Favorite stats add bonuses when their thresholds are met, and the special relationship skill doubles the adjusted base before the shared random roll. Equipment, buffs and alignment can further change the final reward. Raising affection does not replace quest flags or earlier heart-to-hearts.

Business Discussion with Jade

The one-time Business Discussion triggers at the shop 6 AM–9 PM, with Silas and Jade both Acknowledged, while Jade is home rather than vacationing.
It gives 5 base affection to each at completion. Its two question groups have no additional configured choice rewards, so choose the responses you prefer. This encounter is not an extra prerequisite on the Emerald Dragon trade.

Emerald Dragon Trade

Use Trade Emerald Dragon from the shop's location menu, rather than looking for it among Silas's personal portrait actions.
Requirement Needed state
Location / hours Exotic Goods Merchant, 6 AM–9 PM
Silas Known
Jade Acquaintance; home rather than vacationing for the registered trade conditions
Establishment Rose & Thorn owned
Inventory Emerald Dragon key item
Time 120 minutes
The action has no configured additional Gold, Energy or Calm cost. All three dialogue-choice groups have the same mechanical reward, without additional configured choice affection.
Completion delivers and consumes the Emerald Dragon, gives Silas 20 base affection and Jade 30 base affection, and completes the trade once. Jade's daytime portrait moves to the Rose & Thorn Master Bedroom; her Known-stage, even-day Secluded Sanctuary schedule remains available.
The trade does not automatically activate Jade as a worker. Her later A Special Connection action at Crush, from the Master Bedroom 9 AM–2 PM, is the separate recruitment step. See Jade for that conversation and her complete route.

Obtaining the Key Item

Route Requirement / cost
Suspicious Merchant while exploring Back Alleys Buy for $1,500
Bargain with that merchant Negotiation skill; $500
Emerald Dragon dungeon scenario Win its boss battle
Pay within the dungeon scenario 10 Dragon Coins
Exploring the Back Alleys takes 45 minutes and 15 Energy. Its merchant is selected from the shared search encounter pool and then has its own 70% encounter roll; this is not a guaranteed or 70%-per-search merchant appearance. The trade permanently records item delivery, so the statue is not available for repeat trades through these acquisition paths.

Shop Purchases and Promotion

These actions are in the location menu. None has a configured ordinary Silas affection reward.
Action Requirement Cost Result
Exotic Perfume Shop hours 10 minutes; $1,000 One ordinary Perfume gift consumable
Aromatic Incense Rose & Thorn owned $1,800 Maid item, +5% effective brothel reputation when equipped
Scented Candles Rose & Thorn owned $400 Maid item, +2% effective brothel reputation when equipped
Ask Silas to Spread the Word Jade active as worker #15; shop hours $1,000 Promotion level +1; once per save
Incense and Candles configure no additional time cost. Equip them on a maid to apply their effects. The promotion action also configures no extra time, and its shared one-time store-variable effect adds the Promotion level rather than resetting it to 1. The Emerald Dragon trade alone does not satisfy its active-worker requirement.

Steal Valuables

The optional shop location action requires Sleight of Hand and Thieves Guild reputation 10. It takes 20 minutes and can be used once daily, whether you succeed or fail.
Its success chance is your modified Rogue stat as a percentage, capped at 75%. Success gives 1–4 Valuables, with a separate 25% chance of Thieves Guild clout +1. There is also a 25% chance of Evil alignment +1 on the attempt regardless of success. No Silas affection reward is configured.

Song Performance Reaction

Use Perform Song at the Performance Stage with a composed song. It takes 60 minutes and 30 Energy, once daily for that venue. A scene is rolled at 25%, improved by 5 percentage points each for Master Performer, Stage Presence, Musical Virtuosity, Storytelling and owning Lute, capped at 50%. Silas is one of six Stage reactions selected randomly after a successful scene roll.
His best reply is Caring: “Glad I could help business, Silas. Music and commerce make good partners.” It gives 4 choice +8 completion =12 total base affection. Buddy gives 10 and Funny 9. The reaction is repeatable; performing does not guarantee that Silas will be selected.

Optional Private-Client Bookings

Silas joins the Receive a Client roster when your brothel reputation reaches level 9. It is available at the Rose & Thorn entrance, with the Netorare option enabled, while operating as a brothel rather than a hotel. The roster selection is random, so starting a booking does not guarantee Silas.
This system has a shared once-per-day booking allowance. Accepting a completed visit takes 30 minutes and pays its offered fee directly, with possible tip and service-quality bonus. Declining the booking or an unwilling worker's response uses the booking allowance and takes 10 minutes, without the accepted-visit payment.
Choose an eligible worker who is active, healthy, on shift, home rather than vacationing and not resting or assigned as the Ballroom apprentice. Active monster workers need at least 30 Tamed. Silas's family exclusion prevents assigning Jade. His authored client preference is poise and attentive service, with Vixen listed as his favorite. Special pairing scenes are authored for Bobo, Foxy and Vixen.
The current shared booking logic checks the worker's Loyalty/Tamed for willingness and the average of Dexterity and Ability for service quality. Appearance and Charisma affect the tip range; they are not a replacement for the quality check. Even a very strong worker retains the system's chance of an unsuccessful result.
Private bookings award their worker and business rewards separately. They do not award ordinary Silas affection or NPC intimacy experience. A successful praise bonus can award the selected worker's NPC 5 direct affection; that is the worker's relationship, rather than Silas's.

Troubleshooting

  • Silas is missing: visit the shop between 6 AM and 9 PM.
  • Money Talks will not unlock: its check is exact Salesman proficiency, not Commerce level alone.
  • Appraisal disappeared: the lesson hides once Appraisal is learned through any source.
  • Trade Emerald Dragon is missing: check the shop location menu, Silas Known, Jade Acquaintance, establishment ownership and the actual Emerald Dragon key item.
  • Jade moved but is not an active worker: continue her Master Bedroom route and use A Special Connection at Crush.
  • Promotion is unavailable: Jade must already be active as worker #15; the trade itself is insufficient.
  • The crafted gift is unavailable: bring the three exact kinds and quantities of Infinity Dungeon drops; ordinary materials are not substitutes.
  • Silas never appears in Receive a Client: reputation level 9 unlocks him into a random roster, with the feature's option and operation-mode gates still applying.
  • There is no personal romance or intimacy gallery menu: Silas's current authored route is the conversations, trade, services and shared content described above.

Credits and Current Scope

Verified against current Silas actions, shared learning/reward logic, shop location actions, Jade's separate recruitment, trade completion, search and dungeon acquisition, alignment theft, performance selection and optional private-client data. Existing portrait and house style are preserved; personal story outcomes and unreleased content are omitted.
