There are a couple of quests in Willow Wood which I can't begin because the quest givers speak in a strange language. How do I get to understand what they are saying? Is this a skill I have to learn?

I always thought 12 SILVER for a newbie was a huge obstacle(sp?).
I mean by the time you have 12sp to burn on a language the guests you get are grey...
And they only pay 25-55cp... kinda hard to justify the expense.
I have started buying the languages because I can afford them now.
I make crude iron spikes that sell for 1sp each to vendors (I know if I made them higher quality I could sell them to players but it takes too much time for the money).
WHile this is fine for a level 14 toon a true newbie probably doens't have that kind of money...

Which NPC is it?

I'll swing by and see if I can understand them

There are three Elvish languages, one for Wood, for Half and for High Elves. If I recall Ayr'dal, Koada'dal and Fier'dal, though those may be misspelling. There is also a Gnomish, Halasian [Barbarian] and Erudite language primer you can buy in the various outlying districtd og Qeynos
As you travel throughout the lands it is good have these languages as many npcs do have quests that require you to understand them. In beta I as able to sneak into Freeport and buy all the 'evil' languages like Ratonga but when my Dirge went there on Saturday [1-15-05] none of teh scribes would allow him to buy or sell. Disappointing.
