The Jack of Spades

The Jack of Spades is a quest released on 5 June 2017. The main reward for completing the quest is access to Menaphos, located in the southern part of the Kharidian Desert. It requires the completion of the two Ozan "double bill" quests, Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough, to start.

The invitation
Talk with Emir Ali Mirza who informs you that Menaphos wants to trade with Al Kharid again and therefore have invited a delegation to Menaphos to negotiate a deal. Grand Vizier Hassan will go as the representative of Al Kharid together with the player who was specifically invited by The Pharaoh. The Emir asks the player to not spy for Osman with which Osman agrees. Osman asks the player to meet them upstairs in the south-east corner on the balcony.

On the balcony Osman will discuss Menaphos with the player. Osman will also confirm again that the player should not spy for him, but if the player notices something of interest then they should report it to him.

Carpet ride
Go upstairs to the top floor of the palace and meet Hassan on the southern side of the roof. Unequip the items in your main- and off-hand slots, dismiss any follower, and fly on the carpet with Hassan. Head south in the direction of Menaphos, taking any route you wish. If you would rather go to Menaphos directly, you can speak to Hassan.

Entering the Golden City
The player and Hassan are greeted by Ambassador Jabari who will lead them to Grand Vizier Ehsan, the Menaphos merchant. Both Grand Viziers will negotiate the deal between the cities. The Jack of Spades appears, steals a tax ledger from Ehsan and escapes. Talk to the guards outside the building, who say the Jack of Spades was last seen heading into the Port district to the south.

Following the Jack
Talk to Admiral Wadud in The Golden Scarab Inn in the Port district. The Jack of Spades appears again and steals Wadud's prized trinket, then vanishes again. Speak to the guards to the west of the Inn, they say the Jack of Spades was seen heading to the Imperial district.

Go north out of the Port district, then west up the stairs from the lodestone. Speak to Commander Akhomet outside the Great Pyramid. The Jack appears again and steals Akhomet's ceremonial dagger, before vanishing again. She advises speaking to Batal in the Worker district.

Head back to the lodestone, then north and west to reach the open bonfire in the Worker district and speak to Batal. The Jack of Spades appears once more and steals Batal's coin purse, then disappears again. Batal suggests searching for an underground hideout below the city.

Shifty
Enter the Shifting Tombs entrance nearby and speak to the Jack of Spades, who turns out to be none other than Ozan. He has been looking for the Kharid-ib and traced it to Menaphos. He says people have been searching underground and Amascut is behind it. He gives the stolen items which can be used to gain reputation with the four different districts. Return the four stolen items, which grant enough reputation to unlock the Menaphos Grand Exchange. You can take advantage of the Shifting Tombs area to quickly move between districts. After returning all the items, head back near the Merchant district and speak to Hassan to complete the quest.

Congratulations, quest complete.
