first post!

ive completed the dalmasca desert bloom hunt (cactoid thingie) and returned the flower to dantro. he wants me to take it to his wife so i take it to her. she wants me to go back to him so i do. he wants me to go back to her so i do. now, she wants me to go to the broken banks or something, which involves taking the ferry. i talk to the kid, he wont let me take the ferry. ive talked to everyone in the village a million times and even went all the way back to dantro and he had nothing to say. my question is, where do i start the "Ferryman Missing" quest??? please help before i lose my mind ive spent over two hours trying to figure this out!!! OH after i got out of the mine, i went north to the teleport crystal instead of going south through the village, i dont know if that matters though...
