Well, if it isn't Player! I've been watching you grow for some time, and I must say, I'm impressed.

One in my position is often forced to tell ordinary people that hard work is the key to success, but the truth is...I don't believe a word of that rubbish.

The truly great are destined to be so, and no amount of hard work will change that. You have natural talent, Player, and you are destined for greatness.

Player: "I'm flattered."

You should be! "Destiny" isn't a word I throw around lightly.

Show me that your eyes are sharper, your hands defter, and your mind nimbler than that of your peers, and I'll bestow the recognition you deserve.

Blood Ruby, Azure Sapphire, and Starry Diamond--these jewels are blessed by Aion, and never reveal themselves to the meek. Bring them to me, and demonstrate that you are an Expert in the field.

Player: Accept.

I've prepared an Expert Essencetapping Ring to aid you in your quest, Player. Without it, you would have no hope of extracting the Blood Ruby, Azure Sapphire, and Starry Diamond.

Visit the merchant Relir, and he will provide it to you.

This test is a great honor, one that is seldom earned by any of my students. I have much hope that you won't be a disappointment.

Player: "I'll do my best."

Ah, Player, it's nice to see you.

Looking for something in particular?

Or are you here on business?

Player: "Latatusk sent me."

I had a feeling about you, Player. Master Latatusk has often praised your dedication, and here you are, on the threshold to becoming an Expert!

Here, take this Expert Essencetapping Ring. It will help to maximize your abilities.

Master Latatusk's judgment is never off, so I'm sure he's right--you're destined for greatness.

Player: "Thanks for the kind words."

Well, how did it go, Player?

Did the jewels reveal themselves to you?

If you are worthy of becoming an Expert, I have no doubt that you succeeded.

Player: "Here are the jewels."

There's nothing else that can match that glow. I knew if anyone could bring me these jewels, it would be you, Player.

It's a little shameful for me to admit...but even I haven't seen these jewels more than a handful of times.

You are truly an Expert in the field of Essencetapping. Destiny, it seems, did not disappoint.
