Aether is the power by which Aion created our world, and the force which holds it together.

Aether only manifests to a chosen few, even amongst Daeva, and the ability to extract those bits of Aether by Aethertapping is rarer still.

Now you stand on the threshold of becoming an Aethertapping Expert--an honour bestowed upon but a select few of our Daeva.


You fulfil all the requirements to become an expert, Player. However, there’s still something missing before you receive that title.

Do you want to surpass yourself and touch even more beautiful and stronger Aether with your hands? Aether that was unknown to you until now, Player.

Face the expert challenge! I will tell you how to become an Aethertapping expert, Player.

Extract two kinds of Aether and show them to me. I’m referring to Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

If you can obtain these Aethers, you will be ready to be appointed an expert.
As you are my best student, I can't very well send you off without a little something to aid you in your quest.

I've prepared an Expert Aethertapping Ring, which will maximise your Aethertapping abilities and heighten your sensitivity to Aether. Just talk to Areke to get it.

You won't be able to extract Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether without it, so don't lose it. Return soon to your well-earned title of Expert!




Ah, Player. It's nice to see you back.

Is there something I can get for you?

Need a few reagents to aid your Aethertapping?
Aha! I knew you'd accept the challenge, Player.

I've often seen you in the Temple of Artisans and knew right away that you'd become an expert sooner or later.

Good, I'll give you the Expert Essencetapping Ring.

Player, you should be able to use it to tap Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

I hope you will complete the task well and become an Aethertapping expert.
Far too often, a craftsman can't finish a masterpiece because their Aethertapping skill doesn't allow them to acquire the right materials.

But Aethertapping isn't just another gathering skill--it's an art. It takes deft hands and a well trained mind honed to keen points.

I'm sure you know this, Player--I'm just trying to pass on all the wisdom I can. Now then, did you complete my test?


There's no mistaking it--this is Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

I have nothing more to say, Player. You are no longer a mere student--you are an Aethertapping Expert!

Congratulations! I never imagined you would come so far in such a short amount of time.
