Do you know how easily weapons break?

I can assure you, I do, since I am in charge of replacing them. These are extraordinary weapons, too, and, as such, they require extraordinary materials to make them.

Of course, it requires extraordinary effort to gather those materials...

Player: "What manner of material is it?"

Greater Aether Gem--a material that will withstand even the strongest blows of Daevas.

But it is difficult to get, of course. It can be found only in Shining Vortex, and only rarely.

It would be absurd, of course, to ask our Legionaries to stop their fighting and gather Aether Gems.

But you, Player, are a Daeva of no particular responsibilities. Would you help?

Player: "Accept."

It will be a dull task. Simply extract essence from a Shining Vortex, and hope that you find Greater Aether Gems.

In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, we need Greater Aether Gem.

Find them and bring them, and I will be most grateful.

Player: "I shall bring you all I find."

Player, you have returned.

More and more Legionaries clamor for repairs and replacements.

Did you bring Greater Aether Gems as I requested?

Player: "Here is what I have."

Alas, it is not enough!

Though I am loath to send you into the field again, I must ask you once more.

Please, go and gather Pristine Aether Gems.

Player: "I will return with more."

Yes, this is a fine haul! I apologize for asking such a long and dull favor of you, but it is most important that our Legionaries remain well-armed.

I shall begin forging these into new weapons right away. When you see the gleam on the Legionaries' swords, you may reflect upon your efforts with pride.
