Mantra Cipher
Give it to Pip.
The first time you bring a Mantra Cipher to Pip at Windrest, they pay five Legendary crafting materials on top of the usual deciphering rewards. Any other NPC will still read it and still pay the base rewards, but the bonus is forfeited for this cipher type, once and permanently.

What the scroll says
“The text upon the scroll has long since faded, leaving only a few faint words barely legible: Hoarding, Haggling.”
Every cipher shows a line like this and nothing more. The two words are the puzzle: they point at the one hunter in camp whose trade or history matches them. See all fifteen ciphers and their NPCs.
Where it comes from
Beyond dropping from monsters and chests in a raid, the Mantra Cipher is one of the ciphers a Golden Coffer can grant. Coffers come in several versions and each draws from its own trio, so not every coffer can give you this one: Golden Coffer (210103), Golden Coffer (210106).
Frequently asked questions
Which NPC should I give the Mantra Cipher to?
Pip. Every camp NPC at Windrest will decipher it, but Pip is the one who pays the first-delivery bonus for this type: five Legendary crafting materials on top of the normal rewards. Hand it to anyone else and you keep the base rewards but lose that bonus permanently for the Mantra Cipher.
Which cipher says "Hoarding, Haggling"?
The Mantra Cipher. Those are the two words left legible on its scroll, and they are the game's only hint about who can read it. Take it to Pip.
What does the Mantra Cipher first-delivery bonus give you?
Five Legendary crafting materials, all guaranteed: Adamantite Ingot, Thread of Fate, Arcane Dragon Leather, Iridescent Crystal, Supreme Runestone. They are account-bound, so they cannot be traded.
Can you lose a Mantra Cipher?
Yes. A cipher only counts once you extract with it. Dying with one in your bag loses it exactly like any other carried loot, and nothing is banked mid-match.
