Collect the one-time banana from the Rookgaard banana palm and take it to Willie. After the exact banana + yes dialogue, Willie removes one Banana and gives one Studded Shield. The palm is one-time per character, while Willie's exchange remains item-based and can be repeated with additional bananas.
Objective: Use the banana palm, keep the Banana in your inventory, then return to Willie and complete the exchange with the exact keywords banana and yes.
Walkthrough
- Prepare one free inventory slot and enough capacity for the Banana and the much heavier Studded Shield.
- Travel to the Rookgaard banana palm and use the palm. On the first successful use, your character receives one Banana.
- If the palm reports that it is empty, that character has already collected its quest Banana.
- Do not eat the Banana. Return to Willie in Rookgaard with the item in your inventory or an accessible backpack.
- Greet Willie with hi. You may say recipes first to hear his request for a banana.
- Say banana. Willie asks whether you found one for him.
- Say yes. Willie removes one Banana and gives one Studded Shield.
- Confirm that the Studded Shield entered your inventory. If you obtain another Banana later, the same exchange dialogue can be used again.
Complete Step-by-Step Guide
Part 1 — Collect the Banana
The banana palm is the one-time collection step for each character.
Items for this route
- One free inventory slot
- Enough capacity for a Banana
- Basic healing for a new Rookgaard character
Complete step-by-step
- Travel to the banana palm in Rookgaard.
- Clear or avoid nearby low-level creatures before using the palm.
- Use the palm once to receive one Banana.
- Check your inventory and keep the Banana; it is a normal edible item and can be lost if consumed.
- If the palm says it is empty, the collection storage for that character is already complete.
Important route notes
- Speaking with Willie beforehand is optional and does not activate the palm.
- The palm reward is one-time per character, but the exchange with Willie is not permanently locked.
- Another Banana obtained legitimately can also be offered to Willie.
Part 2 — Learn Willie's Request
Willie explains that he wants a banana for one of his recipes.
Complete step-by-step
- Find Willie in Rookgaard and greet him with hi.
- Say job or cook to learn about his work.
- Say recipes to hear that he lacks bananas and will reward you for bringing one.
- This conversation is optional; players carrying a Banana may go directly to the exchange dialogue.

Important route notes
- The relevant quest keyword is banana. The recipes dialogue only explains the objective.

Use the exact two-step confirmation while carrying at least one Banana.
Items for this route
- 1 Banana
- At least one free slot
- Enough capacity for a 59 oz Studded Shield

- Say hi, then banana.
- When Willie asks whether you found a banana for him, say yes.

Exact NPC keywords

Willie — cancel exchangehibananano
Important route notes

- Do not click or use the Banana after collecting it; it is food and will disappear when eaten.
- Carry at least 59 oz of free capacity before confirming yes with Willie.
- Use the exact keyword banana. Saying shield alone does not complete the exchange.
- If Willie says you are trying to mess with him, verify that a Banana is still inside your inventory or an accessible backpack.
- The quest is complete after Willie gives the Studded Shield, even though additional exchanges remain possible.
