| Address | Adventurer's Guild |
Marlon is the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, which stands on The Mountain just east of The Mines. He is the first person the farmer meets on entering the mines, and he hands over a Rusty Sword with a warning that monsters have taken over the old tunnels. After the Initiation quest, his guild becomes the farmer's main shop for combat gear. He sells weapons, rings and other combat supplies, buys monster drops, and keeps any items lost after fainting underground. He is one of the most useful people in the valley for anyone who fights.
Lore
Marlon is a grizzled veteran of monster hunting. He wears the marks of a hard career: he mentions his bad leg and says he has only one good eye left, though he still promises to spot any creature that lurks in the dark. He has a dry sense of humour. When the farmer builds a Slime Hutch, he jokes that slime breeding is how he lost his eye, then admits he is only kidding.
He takes his town duties seriously despite his injuries. He says that even with his bad leg he never misses a festival. At the Flower Dance he quietly remarks that Marnie looks lovely. At the Stardew Valley Fair he grumbles that Clint's blades and prices both get sharper every year.
Schedule
Marlon spends his working hours behind the counter of the Adventurer's Guild. The guild opens in the afternoon and stays open until late at night. He leaves his post only to attend town festivals, when the guild closes.
Relationships
Marlon shares the Adventurer's Guild with his old friend Gil, who sits in a rocking chair beside the counter. Gil hands out the rewards for the Monster Eradication Goals posted on the guild wall. Once a reward has been earned from Gil, Marlon keeps further copies in stock for sale.
Notes
Marlon sets the Initiation quest once the farmer reaches the fifth floor of The Mines. It asks for ten slimes to be slain, and finishing it opens the guild doors for good.
The guild shop starts with a small range and grows as the farmer reaches deeper floors of The Mines. Later stock includes some of the best weapons and rings for the caves, so it is worth checking after each new milestone.
Marlon's Item Recovery Service helps after a bad fall in The Mines, the Quarry Mine, Skull Cavern or the Volcano Dungeon. When the farmer faints there, the lost items wait in the guild menu. One of them can be bought back for its shipping price. The list is replaced the next time the farmer faints, so the most valuable item should be recovered first.
After the Slime Hutch is built, Marlon visits the farm with a Slime Egg to start a slime herd. He explains that it hatches in a Slime Incubator and that slimes sometimes drop more eggs.
During the Desert Festival he offers challenges in Skull Cavern, such as hunting certain monsters, reaching a deep floor or gathering valuable ore and geodes. Completing them pays out in Calico Eggs.
