Where the lesson actually starts
Breathing trainers open at level 25, and they still wait until they accept what their requirement names. The fight after the hand-in is the trainee. Clearing a lookalike boss does not finish the lesson.
Gyorei and Zentaro both sit past the bears, then the paths split. Stone is the lower path into Stone Sanctuary. Thunder is the highest peak above Hidden Mist Village, and that climb wants Wall Climb. Obari and Tengai want Wall Climb too.
Iceveil drains health while you travel. Use a campfire or an Emberheart Lantern for Saneri, Tengai, Zurinyz, Iceveil Guard Shiro, and Demon Slayer Mitsu.
Bring the Wen, horns, and Beast Cores that trainer names. Do not copy one trainer's bill onto another. Urokodaki's Water lesson names 5,000 Wen and 30 Demon Horns.
One fighting style
You hold one fighting style at a time. Slayers learn Tai Chi from Renjiro. Demons learn Soryu from Kazuma, or Reaping Blades from Zurinyz.
Players also call Reaping Blades the Reaper fighting style. It is separate from the Reaper Evil Art, which you can roll for at Muzan. Use the Biwa Bell after becoming a demon for art rolls; visit Zurinyz for the fighting style.
Renjiro's trial asks for 20 Common Fish, so Sofen's permit has to exist first. Kazuma wants a Demon with fishing unlocked. Zurinyz is the level 100 lesson, in a campfire hut in northeastern Iceveil Settlement.
Finding Muzan
Reputation has to reach -40. Then search at night through Mistfall Harbor, Iceveil Valley, and Hidden Mist Village. He keeps moving. A daylight lap of the harbor will not catch him.
Dr. Higoshima is the delivery on that quest, up a ledge that wants Wall Climb and Double Jump. Go up only while the quest is active. A Biwa Bell roll has no Wen cost named with Muzan, so do not bring a fixed roll budget.
What the errand unlocks
A shut counter usually means the fetch is still open.
- Moldy Sugar's package opens Elara's clothing shop. The Black Amigasa there is the sun hat.
- Shiori's 10 Health, 10 Health Regen, and 10 Stamina Elixirs open Nori's bait.
- Ren's blade, from near the waterfall, opens his gourds. A Large Gourd is 8,800 Wen.
- Ginzo buys loot only after his Jewelry Box is back.
- Genzo appears for the Firstlight Bladed Wagasa when the Firstlight Mask is on and the Windy Peak Shrine boulder is pushed into the hidden slope. That spawn is the mask and the boulder, not a level.
- Togane crafts the schematic you bring him, including Nightfall weapons. The Ouwigahara portal at his forge opens at level 65. Tobei, after three statues, gives the Nightfall Gauntlets Schematic and does not run that forge.
- Shiro's supply turn-in opens the winter shop and the Shovel.
Raze sells katanas without an errand. Kuro is separate from the rotating shop: he sells a lantern at night in Bamboo Grove, near the Mother Bear path. The Black Marketer moves on a global even-hour window, stays about an hour, and brings a new random stock each time. Do not cross the map for one named item.
Fishing, in order
Sofen, by the Mistfall Harbor crane, sells the Fishing Permit at level 45. Jeso stands beside him and will not sell a rod until that permit exists. Isao continues the Legendary Rod under the red bridge at night, after the Drowned Lure is in hand. Hagane, in Hidden Mist Village, refines the rod after that for Wen and ores.
Nori's bait is not a dock step. It opens from Shiori's elixir errand.

If nobody is there
On a private server, /pve off removes these contacts. Turn PvE back on before you decide someone moved.
Muzan, Kuro, and Isao are the night visits. The Black Marketer follows the even-hour window instead. Final Selection starts and ends with The Sisters. People past the gate are part of the trial, not contacts you can prep in town.
FAQ
Is Zurinyz's Reaper a Blood Demon Art?
No. Zurinyz teaches Reaping Blades, also called the Reaper fighting style, to Demons at level 100. The Reaper Evil Art is separate and can come from a Muzan roll after you become a demon.
Are prices in Yen?
No. Trainers and shops charge Wen. Do not add a Yen figure on top of a Wen price as if it were a second currency.
Is there a second Water trainer?
No. Urokodaki teaches Water Breathing through the underwater passage by the Bamboo Grove waterfall. Spellings that look like Rokuaki or Arodaki are the same trainer. His requirement is level 25, 5,000 Wen, and 30 Demon Horns.
What if a breathing trainer lists no Wen cost?
Pay Wen, horns, and Beast Cores only when that trainer's requirement names them. Urokodaki's Water lesson names 5,000 Wen and 30 Demon Horns. Do not copy a coin or material total from one trainer onto another.
Do these contacts only appear at night?
No. Muzan, Kuro, and Isao are the night visits. The Black Marketer uses a global even-hour window and stays about an hour. If a whole village is empty on a private server, check that PvE is on. The command /pve off hides them.
Does the Black Marketer sell a fixed kit?
No. Each appearance brings a new random stock, and he moves among ten spots. Kuro, who sells a lantern at night in Bamboo Grove, is a different person.
Does Wagasa Maker Genzo have a level requirement?
He does not ask for a level. Equip the Firstlight Mask and push the boulder at the Windy Peak Shrine into the hidden slope. That is what makes him appear.
Who starts Final Selection?
The Sisters, at the trial gate, once you are level 45. They start it and take the return after the Hand Demon. Fighters inside the trial are not contacts you can find in town first.
