Steps

Journal

  • As ablest of Ixal, Yazel Ahuatan has a reputation to maintain.
    • ※The crafting portion of this quest is recommended for Disciples of the Hand level 1 and above; and the battle portion for Disciples of War or Magic level 41 and above.
  • The recent loss of starboard hull component materials has placed Yazel Ahuatan in a precarious position. So that none may have cause to doubt his ableness, recover the materials his courier abandoned when attacked by Ixal in Treespeak.
  • After a brief skirmish, the materials are yours. However, returning the materials will not suffice to redeem Yazel Ahuatan. Visit the crafting facility at Treespeak Stables, and present the component materials to Nellemond, so that you may use the facilities to construct the requisite components.
  • You have handed over the component materials to Nellemond, and gained access to the crafting facility. Synthesize two starboard hull components, and deliver them to Yazel Ahuatan at Ehcatl. ※In the event that the status Facility Access: Finishing wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Nellemond.
  • The squa-hawk which echoes throughout Ehcatl is one of ultimate relief, as Yazel Ahuatan's comrades no longer have cause to doubt his competence. Maintaining an image as an able Ixal can be difficult at times, but the adulation of Ixali maidens more than justifies the effort─or so Yazel Ahuatan would doubtless say, if the question were put to him.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Yazel Ahuatan the Able: >> Squaaawk! Able though I am, cursed with terrible fortune, I am too! Lost to Garuda-worshipping buzzards, materials for constructing urgently required starboard hull components are! <<
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: Precious materials for preparing leather–backed plywood for the hull, lost to our enemies in Treespeak! Squa-hawk!
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: Retrieve the materials myself, I would, but able lover, Yazel is—not able fighter. Featherless craftsman and fighter both, you are, and more than capable of recovering materials.
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: From storage pots, retrieve the materials, then for crafting, to Treespeak Stables you must go. Open to all featherless, the facilities there are. Squahaha! Need for special favors, there is not.

Presenting the starboard hull component materials to Nellemond

Nellemond: Greetings, friend! Our doors—assuming we had any—are open to all! You wish to process those materials, yes? Hmmmm... if you would first permit me to conduct an inspection...?
<Hand Over Starboard Hull Materials>
Nellemond: Ah, my concern was for naught. These materials are both quality and plentiful! In face, I have calculated the optimum amount required to craft the components you have in mind. I shall hold on to the excess while you work your synthesizing magic! Pray let me know if you require any replacements.

Delivering the starboard hull components to Yazel Ahuatan the Able

Yazel Ahuatan the Able: >> Squaaawk! Suffer the barbs of his comrades, the Able cannot! Bring me the starboard hull components, you must! <<
<Hand Over Starboard Hull Components>
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: Squa-hawk! Safe, my reputation is! To featherless craftsman, much and more is owed!
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: >> Rejoin the ranks of the buzzards, I wish not to do. Much more beloved by maidens, Yazel is, as able revolutionary!
