Where is Mark the stable hand?

[wntu4]

I am looking for Mark to make him my Pribby groom. I have talked to Zora...but now he is nowhere to be found. I've been to the Neuhof stables twice. Ginger and Jakub are there. There are two villager farmers. I cannot find Mark. Ideas?

Rmmm, if I remember right, you are playing it wrong and trying to shortcut it.

Either way - the quest works a tad like this:
You start at the main whatever, then walk past the pond, talk to everyone, and the dude is gone anyway, hinting that he bailed.


So then you gotta find the trail up the street and tadaaa[

Bottom line - walk up to the "street", you'll notice something ♥♥♥♥♥ there, follow it, tadaaa


It's a tad confusing I must admit/spoiler]

like Tenchu suggests

interact with everyone (improves speech), and then go find the broken gate by the road

wonder around the area - noting things on the ground between gate and all the folk, and then noting the broken gate itself

then, go back to talk to Bernard before following the trail, to prevent things from getting too buggy

remember to "go back and talk with Bernard" frequently during this quest part

hmm. Never thought about asking Mark. I always picked Vashek from Uzhitz. I figured he could use a new start after falling off Pie and hitting his head.

No, I've long since completed the quest line. Saved Ginger, etc. According to the wiki Mark should be at the stables and available to come to Pribby. I've run the horse race (won) and talked to Zora about Mark...but he's not to be found. I will get Vashek if I have to but Mark brings in a bit more coin to my stables in Pribby.

True...but Mark deserves a new start even more having gone through the attack and having to put down the horses.

Mark does deserve a new start, but I figure the attack will haunt him no matter where he goes, just as Skalitz haunts Henry.
