His eyes gleam with a knowing light, suggesting that he possesses knowledge far beyond that of the average citizen.
Gameplay Role
Players encounter the Financial Seer primarily for his expertise in market trends concerning items available in the Grand Exchange. He serves as a guide for players looking to strategize their investments or learn about current economic conditions.
