Overview
Annabella is the saddler at the Hernand Saddlery in Hernand. She specializes in crafting sturdy horse tack designed to protect horses on the battlefield. Annabella is one of the NPC vendors who offers an early request to the player, introducing the fishing mechanic.
Location
Annabella operates the Hernand Saddlery, located in the southern part of Hernand.
Annabella's Request
Annabella offers a request that introduces the fishing system. She provides the player with a Fishing Rod and sends them north across the bridge to the pool before Three Saints' Falls, close to the Wycliffe Mappery, to catch a Tench.
After catching the fish, the player does not return it to Annabella directly but instead delivers it to Bloomwood Ranch to the southeast of Hernand. Completing the request rewards an inventory expansion, some dried fish, Contribution points, and the player keeps the fishing rod.
Services
Annabella sells equipment for horses, including saddles and protective gear for mounted combat. Her tack is designed for durability in battle, making her shop an important stop for players who rely on horseback combat.
Trust and Trade Agreements
Building trust with Annabella follows the standard merchant system. Players can greet her daily for +5 trust, gift her items, or complete her request. At maximum trust, Annabella may offer discounted prices on horse tack and potentially unlock additional items in her saddlery inventory.
Tips
Annabella is one of the first vendor NPCs you encounter who offers a quest. Completing her request early unlocks the fishing mechanic and provides a free Fishing Rod.
The Medium Bag reward from Annabella's Request provides 3 additional inventory slots, which is valuable in the early game.
After completing her quest, remember to deliver the Tench to Bloomwood Ranch, not back to Annabella.
