Despite the mind games, this Scent of Commerce quest is actually one of the easiest to complete. Just follow the steps below:

1. Use a path action to run it Masoud’s daughter (location shown in the image above) with you.
2. Take Masoud’s daughter to her father. Masoud will tell you that your answer is wrong, and that’s okay. Masoud’s daughter will give you a “hint” after this event.
3. Talk to Masoud (again) at night and To rent him.
