Pssst. Hey, Player, if you have some spare time I've, uh, got a job for you. It'll earn you a Mithril Coin.

I need to extract some Aether from some creatures in Balaurea--Strigiks. Heard of them? Quite dangerous, but the same might be said of everything in Gelkmaros, no?

Regardless, there are a lot of Strigiks, and the Aether I can extract from them is of very high quality.

Player: "What's this Aether for?"

That's not important. What matters is I need it right away. If you want to earn the coin, head to the Strigik Forest and bring me 50 Strigik Beaks. That should be enough to get some quality Aether.

Oh, also, In order to extract the stuff, you'll need a Disposable Aether Refining Device, which I'd also like to have when you're done. You'll probably have to buy one of those, since mine was...confiscated. But I don't want to talk about that.

Are you interested?

Player: Accept.

Remember, the Strigiks inhabiting the Strigik Forest are quite vicious and tough. I'd suggest taking a few other Daevas with you. I'd go with you myself but I'm...not feeling well.

50 Strigik Beaks! Good luck!

Player: "The Strigiks will need it."

You're back! Did you bring the goods? Remember, I need 50 Strigik Beaks and a Disposable Aether Refining Device.

Player: "Here's what I have."

Sorry Player, but I'm not giving you your Mithril coin yet. There's no leeway here--you have to bring me 50 Strigik Beaks and a Disposable Aether Refining Device. Otherwise I can't extract enough Aether to...use. For my...project.

Player: "I'll be back."

Good work. The Aether refined from these Strigik Beaks will go a long way towards...supporting the Asmodian efforts here in Gelkmaros. I'll personally handle this particular extraction.

Here's your Mithril Coin. Be sure to visit me again if you want to earn more. Just keep quiet about it, okay?
