Steps

Journal

  • Many would deign to call themselves able, but Yazel Ahuatan the Able goes so far as to claim it as his title.
    • ※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.
  • Questioning your skills as an artisan, Yazel Ahuatan invites you to prove him wrong by crafting a bladder component with the materials he has provided. His challenge is further complicated by the requirement that you use special facilities in Hyrstmill to craft the component─facilities which are administered by Dametta, a woman of some repute, who may not be amenable to your request.
  • Dametta is willing to grant you permission to use her facilities─provided you carry out a simple task in exchange. A particularly persistent opo-opo has been raiding her stores for some time, and she would have you permanently resolve the situation. With the aid of ripe Mun-Tuy beans, lure the beastkin out from his lair near E-Tatt's Spire and end his reign of terror once and for all. Alternatively, you could converse with the woman further and attempt to persuade her...but that approach may not end well.
  • The notorious bean thief is no more, and the claw you have extricated from its carcass should serve as ample proof. Present it and the bladder component materials to Dametta in Hyrstmill.
  • The claw serves both to horrify Dametta's sensibilities and satisfy her requirements. With the materials provided to you by Yazel Ahuatan, synthesize a bladder component, and deliver it to him at Ehcatl.
    • ※In the event that the status Facility Access: Production wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Dametta.
  • The most able of Ixal accepts your work with a mighty squa-hawk, satisfied with its quality. Within you he sees a great potential─one which he likens to his own, glimpsed by Chief Totoloc long ago. Weighty words indeed, one might say─though one must always consider the source, as well.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Yazel Ahuatan the Able: >> Squahaha! An able crafter featherless one is? Not so able as Yazel, I think! Yet prove me wrong, you may, and aid Ehcatl in so doing! <<
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: Leather and canvas used to craft an airship bladder, we require! A simple task for a featherless one skilled as you, Yazel trusts.
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: A skilled craftsman and listening both, Yazel hopes you are, for the aid of a fatherless chatterbox, you require, to use these materials. Squa-hawk! For this component, the facilities of Dametta, you must utilize.

Speaking with Dametta

Dametta: Oh my, you wish to use these facilities? They are lovely, aren't they? I do my utmost to keep them in tip-top condition, you know! Regular cleaning and maintenance is far more essential than most people realize.
Dametta: However, as much as I'd love to let you do so, I must ask that you do something in exchange. Worry not, it's nothing too difficult! just a simple favor. I do have to clean up after you, you know!
Dametta: Know you of opo-opos? Dreadful little scamps, always stealing my Mun-Tuy beans. One in particular has given me no end of trouble, and I will suffer it no longer! Pray use these ripe beans to lure him out from his lair near E-Tatt's Spire and end his reign of terror! And, though it's a grisly thing to ask, I must insist that you return with proof of the deed—a fang, or a claw, or something of that nature. Nothing too large, mind you. I don't want it as a trophy to hand on my wall. I'm not a monster!

Present the simian claw and the bladder component materials to Dametta

Dametta: As I told you before, you are more than welcome to make use of these facilities—provided you deal with that dastardly opo-opo first. Oh, and as a precaution, I must ask that you present your materials for inspection as well. You would be shocked by what some people have tried to make here!
<Hand Over Bladder Component Materials and Simian Claw>
Dametta: My word, is that really... Oh gods, I can't bear to look at it! Take it from my sight and dispose of it—but not in the river! Now then, deep breaths... Though unusual, I don't believe your materials could be used for evil ends. Here you are. You'll note I didn't return them all—there are several times the required materials it would seem. Whoever entrusted this task to you left a note in the bag: "To featherless neuker, give only required parts. In case of failure, retain spares." Hmmm... What in the world is a "neuker"?

Delivering the bladder component to Yazel Ahuatan the Able

Yazel Ahuatan the Able: >> Squahaha! Returned, the one who would prove herself/himself able is! Bladder component, she/he has brought? <<
<Hand Over Bladder Component>
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: ...Squa-hawk! Able indeed, featherless one is! Within you lies great potential, as Chief Totoloc said.
Yazel Ahuatan the Able: Potential in Yazel too, the chief once saw. Not wrong in either case, it is more than clear to me! Squawk!
