What did Gaurinerk tell you? Wait...let me guess.

He wrung his paws and wailed about how long I was taking to make the armor he ordered, right?

Did he tell you what he's been saving on overhead by sending me nothing but junk to work with?

Player: "So by sending you cheap materials..."

Exactly. Cheap materials, higher profit. And these materials have been getting worse and worse. Gaurinerk claims they're sourced locally, but they're not.

Everything round here is saturated with Aether. Genuine Verteron Starcrabs have a gleam to their shells. The ones Gaurinerk sent are dirty yellow...like diseased bone. See?

Player: "You have a point."

In that case, [%userclass], would you help me out?

I need to show the Centurion what Gaurinerk's been up to. If you collect quality materials from hereabouts for me, we can compare them with Gaurinerk's junk.

Would you please gather Starcrab Carapaces and Starturtle Shells, and show them to Hyacinte along with these samples of Gaurinerk's materials? I'd go myself, but I'm just a trader and you're a Daeva. Let's be honest...you have the better chance of being heard.

Player: Accept.

Thank you.

You can find Sharphorn Starcrabs near the entrance to the citadel, and plenty of Swamp Starturtles down at the water's edge.

Please gather Starcrab Carapaces and Starturtle Shells, and bring them to the Centurion. When he compares them with the materials Gaurinerk gave me, he'll understand the situation.

I wouldn't want to be in Gaurinerk's shoes after that. Wait...do Shugos wear shoes?

Player: "I'm not sure..."

Hmm? Back already?

Well, what did Gaurinerk say?

He'd better have a good explanation for keeping my Guardians waiting.

Player: "Here, look at these."

Haven't you been to see Gaurinerk yet?

I heard that Nadaelo is furious with him for some reason. You'd better go and sort it out.

We need to launch our attack in the Tursin Outpost soon, and I'm not taking my Guardians into battle in the rag-tag stuff they're wearing now.

Player: "On my way."

Unbelievable! Gaurinerk wanted Nadaelo to armor my Guardians with this muck? I wouldn't line a Pluma cage with it!

If not for Nadaelo's honesty, I'd never have known. From now on, I'll commission armor directly from him.

Thank you for your trouble. I think a reward is in order.
