Moogles are a big part of Final Fantasy 9. They act as your save points and even have a sidequest that spans the entire game with their Mognet delivery service. One Moogle in particular, however, is a little bit different. Stiltzkin is a traveling Moogle who can be encountered multiple times over the course of the game.

You'll first be introduced to Stiltzkin at the beginning of the game, where he tells another Moogle of his upcoming journey. After that, you can encounter him eight times around the world and he will offer to sell you some rare items. Buying all eight of his item packs is required to achieve his final reward.
Stiltzkin Locations
At each of these locations, you can find Stiltzkin and buy what he's offering. Be careful, as he is sometimes easy to miss. All of these encounters are missable if you progress the story too much, so don't skimp out on these purchases!
| Location | Price | Items | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burmecia | 333 Gil | Soft, Hi-Potion, Ether | He is in the vault at the right of the square, opposite the room with the Mythril Spear. |
| Cleyra | 444 Gil | Hi-Potion, Ether, Phoenix Pinion | He is on the top floor of Cleyra's inn but only after the Antlion fight. |
| Fossil Roo | 555 Gil | Phoenix Pinion, Remedy, Ether | He is beside the Moogle Mogki and is the first encounter that is very hard to miss. |
| Conde Petie Mountain Path | 666 Gil | Magic Tag, Tent, Ether | Again, he is with the Moogle of the area. Another hard-to-miss encounter. |
| Alexandria | 777 Gil | Phoenix Pinion, Hi-Potion, Elixir | He will be in the steeple where you first met him, but only when controlling Vivi on Disc 3. |
| Oelivert | 888 Gil | Hi-Potion, Emerald, Elixir | Another hard-to-miss encounter next to the local Moogle. |
| Bran Bal | 2,222 Gil | Diamond, Ether, Elixir | He is in the same house as the Moogle here – leave and re-enter to encounter him. |
| Alexandria | 5,555 Gil | Moonstone, Ruby, Elixir | Come back to the steeple where you first met him on Disc 4 to meet him this time. |
Stiltzkin Rewards
If you manage to buy all eight of his item packs, Stiltzkin will reward you with a Ribbon. This add-on is a fantastic piece of protective equipment and there are only four in the entire game. It teaches Ability Up, Concentrate, and Madeen for Eiko.
In addition to the Ribbon, you will also receive the Driving the Hard Bargain achievement/trophy on more recent versions of the game.
