== Location ==
The Troupe Valeriano appear in the nation that is first place in [[Conquest]], and '''are absent from Vana'diel''' if there is a tie for first.
* [[Port Bastok]] (K-8)
* [[Southern San d'Oria]] (I-9)
* [[Windurst Woods]] (H-10)

Every Sunday when [[Conquest]] totals are recalculated, they have an opportunity to appear in the winning city for a week.

== Troupe Members ==

The performing members are:
* [[Valeriano]]
**lead performer and [[:Category:Traveling Merchant|traveling merchant]]
* [[Nalta]]
**pantomime
* [[Mokop-Sankop]]
**harpist<ref>[https://wiki.ffo.jp/html/3012.html|JP datamining/analysis efforts] revealed that Mokop-Sankop likely was intended to be a "bagpiper" and his attire ([[Green Beret]] et al) is reminiscent of this as well. However likely due to the complexity of implementing a model for a set of bagpipes, he is simply playing a harp instead. His dialogue for Bastok citizens when the Troupe is in Port Bastok affirms his choice in instrument: "There are plenty of bards around, but I'm the best harpist in Vana'diel."</ref>
* [[Cheh Raihah]]
**juggler
* [[Dahjal]]
**fire performer

Each performer has unique dialogue per city, and has separate lines depending on whether or not the player is a citizen of that nation, for a total of six dialogues per performer.
**...aside from [[Nalta]], who always says "(I'm a mime.)" regardless of the current city in first or the player's citizenship. ({{verification}})

There are two additional non-obvious members further away from the Troupe's tents:
* [[Nokkhi Jinjahl]] - bundles batched items into quivers, pouches, and cases for the cost of a [[Carnation]].
** Added to the game in [[Version_Update_(12/15/2003)|the December 15th, 2003 Version Update]].
** She mentions she's explicitly part of the Troupe Valeriano - ''"I'm more of a behind-the-scenes kinda gal, not an entertainer"''.
** She claims that people call her "Nokky the Tree-shaker".
* [[Ominous Cloud]] - bundles batched items into ninja toolbags and shurikens for the cost of a [[Wijnruit]].
** Added to the game in [[Version_Update_(07/18/2005)|the July 18th, 2005 Version Update]].
** It was unclear for a long while what his exact relation is to the troupe, though [[:Category:Update_History#October_7,_2014|the October 7th, 2014 Version Update]] refers to him as "Ominous Cloud of Troupe Valeriano"

== Notes ==

=== Modern Usage ===
* The services of [[Nokkhi Jinjahl]] and [[Ominous Cloud]] are less important in modern FFXI since [[Curio Vendor Moogle]] sells pre-made bundled items to players in possession of the corresponding [[:Category:Rhapsody_Key_Item|Rhapsodies of Vana'diel key items]].
* The shop of [[Valeriano]] remains the only way aside from resale via the AH to get certain [[Bard#Magic|Bard songs]].

=== Quests ===
* [[Troupe Valeriano]] being made up of ''"five members"'' is the answer to a question in the '''Quiz de Vana'diel''' of the quest [[Nothing Matters]].
**(...and the question & answer text has not been updated to account for the newer 6th and 7th members.{{verification}})
* [[Valeriano]] and the troupe play a role in the [[Dancer Artifact Quests]].
* Additionally, in ages past, [[Valeriano]] was one of the few ways to acquire a [[Ginger Cookie]] needed for the last of the [[Warrior Artifact Quests]], [[The Talekeeper's Gift]].
