In the side quest “The Ornate Box” in Dragon’s Dogma 2, you help a young man obtain an item from a local merchant. Completing the quest rewards you with a set of Courtly Clothes, which prove useful later. This guide provides all the details to start and finish the quest, along with the rewards.
The Ornate Box Quest Walkthrough
You can start this quest in Vernworth. While it officially begins later, your first interaction happens during the “Seat of the Sovran” quest, where you meet Sven, a young man fleeing the city watch. If you lie for him, he’ll thank you.
Speak to sven
After a day or two, go to the merchant quarter in Vernworth and find Sven arguing with a merchant, Auriol, over money. Sven needs 1,000 G to buy an Ornate Box. If you’ve completed the Medicament Predicament side quest, you can buy the box at a discount. Regardless, purchase the box and give it to Sven, who will thank you and promise to repay you.
Return to Sven After a Day
You can rest at the inn, your home (if you’ve started “A Place to Call Home”), or pass time on a bench until the next day. Then, return to the fountain in the Merchant Quarter and speak with Sven. If you give him money, he’ll give you 200 G; if you give him the box, he’ll reward you with a Jasper.Wait another day, return to the fountain, and after a brief conversation, Sven will give you 300 G if you gave him money, or a Ring of Accrual if you gave him the box. After one more day, return to complete the quest.
If you gave him money, you’ll receive 4,000 G and Courtly Clothes, useful for castle quests. If you bought him the box, you’ll get these rewards plus a Ferrystone for quick travel.
