Save some trips
Since you can only buy mesos at the village, you do not want to always go back to the village every time you reach the level to learn new skills. It is a good idea to but as many skill books as you can to save some trips. After you completed all of the above quests that you can, head to Munihele Forest. As you enter the forest area you will see Motgar, and Dabi NPC standing at a crossroad, speak to them and get the following quests. Also remember since most of the campaign quest Searching for Rea takes place in the forest it is a good idea to do the quest now. You can only get this quest from Motgar if you have completed Idle Hands. Hunt 10 Gooey Sylphens, or Grove Sparkies. It really does not make much of a different which you choose to hunt. Speak to Dabi; hunt Arma Snuffler till you find a Shiny SIlver Ring. You actually have to be level 5 to start this, so get to level 5 speak to Dabi, and then just deliver something to Dalor back at the Village.
