The sun peeks through the clouds as you walk down the path toward Kobo's Market, bathing the green in a soft, golden light. The wide terrace of the marketplace is bustling with activity, and you see folk from every corner of the Valley chattering excitedly with one another. It appears as though Ren Kobo's semi-annual swap meet is well underway. Amid the din you can pick out elevated moments of some ferociously good-natured haggling.
If you’ve completed THE VALLEY’S SECRETS mission, go to 1.103a. Otherwise, continue reading:
As you make your way to the terrace, you’re greeted by a throng of friendly faces. Some want to give you a small token by way of thanking you for your service to the Valley. Others are simply excited to see that a Ranger has come to the swap meet (who just might have something interesting to trade)!

Search the Valley set for Ren Kobo and put him into play. Do not read his entry. When you build the path deck, instead of using 3 random cards from the Valley set, do so using the other 3 humans from the Valley set.
Search the core game Reward set for all copies of each of the following cards that you have not previously unlocked:
- Ar Tel’s Vaulting Rod
- Dendritic Vine
- Dolewood Canoe
- Gauzeblade
- Harvest Crown
- Kinetic Glass Sculpture
- Lynx Fur Cloak
- Philosopher’s Honey
- Probability Compass
- Quisi’s Favorite Snack
- Sil’s Sketchbook

Shuffle them together to make the “Swappables deck” and place it facedown next to the path deck. This deck operates as its own independent deck, and has its own discard pile for any Swappables that are discarded. Flip the top 3 cards of this deck faceup and place them next to the play area. These items are currently available in the swap meet.

As you approach the throng, you feel a gentle tug on your sleeve. You turn and see the venerable Messipian merchant Ren Kobo. He beckons you to a quiet alcove, sheltered from the elements. He eyes the gear hanging from your pack and chuckles appreciatively.
“You’ve been doing well for yourself,” he says. “Some very nice pieces, I must say! But perhaps you’d be willing to trade something for this?”
He steps deeper into the alcove and returns with a truly impressive piece of headgear. “This beauty has been sitting unused in my storehouse for far too many seasons.”
You notice that the hat is nearly identical to Ren Kobo’s own. “I liked it so much that I acquired a spare,” he says. “I’ve never worn it except to try it on.” He looks at the spare hat with great admiration. “Perhaps this one would see use with you? It’s a symbol of great distinction among the most accomplished sailors in the flotilla, and it keeps off the sun and rain to boot!”
You can trade all of your copies of a single unlocked reward for Ren Kobo’s Hat. This exchange is permanent. If you do, gain the Ren Kobo’s Hat reward card, and cross out the old reward on your campaign tracker.
