Current Best Route

Quest stages are indicated in parentheses at the end of each step when they are updated. Keep in mind that these optimized steps are within the context of the 100% speedrun route, meaning that certain items and setups are sometimes assumed to have already been performed prior to the start of the quest.

Bugs

Selling a stack of Ayleid Statues only increments umbacanoCount by one, preventing you from completing the quest.
If the tenth statue is sold to a merchant after talking to Umbacano, the quest cannot be completed.

Route Logic Considerations

This quest must be completed before Umbacano travels to Nenalata during the quest Secrets of the Ayleids.

Script Analysis

Fame is added at quest stage 60.
If all ten statues are sold to merchants before talking to Umbacano, the quest is advanced to stage 100 and no fame is earned.
The number of statues Umbacano has is stored in the global variable umbacanoCount.
Quest stages 54, 55, and 56 are reached by setting the stage to umbacanoCount + 50. Possible vulnerability?
Umbacano only accepts instances of MS21AyleidStatue; the statues you can steal from him are instances of MS21AyleidStatueUmbacano.

10		I've received a note from a man called Umbacano; he's interested in the Ayleid statue I found and sold. I should find him in the Imperial City and see what he wants.
15		I've spoken to a collector of Ayleid artifacts named Umbacano. He has offered to pay me handsomely for any Ayleid Ancestor statues that I bring him.
20		Umbacano has offered to pay well for any more statues I find. I should look for more of them in Ayleid ruins, and bring them to him. If I can find all ten of the statues, he will pay me a large bonus.
40		Umbacano's research has uncovered evidence that some of the Ayleid statues he is looking for may be hidden in these ruins: Moranda, Mackamentain, Wenyandawik, Ninendava, Fanacas.
52		I have brought Umbacano a second Ayleid statue.
53		I have brought Umbacano a third Ayleid statue.
54		I have brought Umbacano a fourth Ayleid statue.
55		I have brought Umbacano a fifth Ayleid statue.
56		I have brought Umbacano a sixth Ayleid statue.
57		I have brought Umbacano a seventh Ayleid statue.
58		I have brought Umbacano a eighth Ayleid statue. Only two more to go.
59		I have brought Umbacano a ninth Ayleid statue. If I bring him one more he will pay be a bonus of 5,000 gold.
60	✔	I have brought Umbacano all ten of the Ayleid statues. He was very pleased and rewarded me well.
