I tell most of the Daevas who come to me that trying hard is the most important thing in Essencetapping. But I only say that to make them feel better about their lack of success.

Trying's good, but true success is only possible for those with talent.

I have seen that talent in you since we first met.

Player: "Me? You think I'm talented?"

Yes, and now you may prove it to yourself and to the world.

The Blood Ruby, Azure Sapphire, Starry Diamond. Do you believe these all exist in real life?

Go get these legendary gems and show me you have the talent necessary for Essencetapping.

Player: Accept.

Early in our association, I made something for you, Player, knowing that you would someday reach this point.

You will need to go to the merchant Sabotes since he's the Daeva who has held onto the Expert Essencetapping Ring for us.

Player: "I'll wear it with pride, sir."

Welcome back, my friend.

How can I help with your business today, eh? I have this kit...

Player: "Cornelius sent me for the Expert Esse--"

Aha! I knew you would go for the Expert rank.

Cornelius and I, we said this many times. That his student is an extraordinary person.

Now, please keep in mind--only a few people can use the Expert Essencetapping Ring. It might enhance the wearer's ability to perform Essencetapping, or it might do nothing.

Player: "Let's hope I have the talent for it."

Please show me the fruits of your labor and my training.

Player: "Three legendary gems, just for you."

"Red like life's blood. Blue like deep sea. Shiny like faraway stars. The jeweled Empyrean three."

Between your natural talent and my training, I knew you'd have no trouble becoming an Expert! Congratulations, my Player.
