I pride myself on being able to keep our Guardians and Centurions equipped with the best weapons.

But with materials so scarce out here, I'm stuck dealing with Shugos.

• "Isn't that normal?"

Usually, trading with Shugos isn't a big deal. But they've collected all the accessible ore.

Then they doubled the price of Titanium Ore! I'm going to go broke.

Titanium is imperative for making weapons. People here are counting on me!

• "Is there another option?"

If they hadn't already mined all the easily accessible ore, I'd gather it myself. But my time is valuable, too.

I know there's still Titanium Ore near the Manduri Village and the Manduri Stores. But they defend their territory fiercely, and I can't make weapons while I'm battling Manduri to gather ore.

Daeva, are you going to be fighting the Manduri? Do you think you could bring me some Titanium Ore?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Oh, I’m so grateful! Thank you. You are so kind.

But please understand, I need to finish working on a weapon.

I just need enough Titanium Ore to fill this order.

• "Sun's blessings."

Collect pieces of Titanium Ore, and take them to Hibrion so he can make weapons.

You're back?

I'm delighted to see you again. I hope the Titanium Ore wasn't too much trouble.

• "Trouble I can handle."

Hmm, I must have messed up my instructions.

I meant to ask for 20 pieces of Titanium Ore.

Titanium is all over Eltnen, but you can find it around here around the Manduri Village and Manduri Stores, as well as the Putrid Mire.

I’m counting on you.

• "I can get more."

Oh, these are bigger and better than what I had been getting. I think that Shugo was trying to cheat me.

Take this. This is the same as I usually pay the Shugos. For what you gave me, it's a fair exchange.

And I can make even more weapons. It's good to know that one thing won't be scarce in Eltnen.

Hibrion, a weaponsmith, was worried that the price of ore had gone up and was hard to obtain.

You brought him Titanium Ore to make weapons.
