What Happens if You Lose Against Taleef?
If you lose the fight against Taleef, you can still complete the side quest, but you’ll only receive 2,800 XP and miss out on the Fruit Wine reward. Additionally, you’ll lose 3,000 Gold because Raghnall bets against Roger that you’ll win.Aim to win the fight, as you can use the Fruit Wine reward for the later side quest “The Sotted Sage,” which unlocks the Warfarer vocation.
