Using Greater Stigma could be a tremendous boost to our war effort, Daeva. We must learn everything we can to stay ahead of our enemies.

If the Elyos--or Aion forbid, the Balaur--were to harness this capability...

Will you undertake another task for me? Asmodae needs you.

• Accept.
• Decline.

You got the Artificial Stigma from Teirunerk? Will you speak to him again?

We need all the information possible on the Shulack Stigma technique--perhaps we can amplify the Stigma even more!

Of course, he'll make you jump through lots of Shugo hoops to get the information, but we do what we must, eh, Daeva?

• "Some of us do...."

Daeva has burning question--Teirunerk can tell, akakak.

But information is always for sale, yes?

That means it's never on offer for nothing.

• "So what's the current price?"

Shulack Stigma technique? Daeva, many many Shugos have died for that information. For that reason, it will cost much much more, nyerk.

Teirunerk not interested in gold and jewels. Teirunerk wants detail of Shulack technology research.

Every detail recorded somewhere, so defeat Engineer Lahulahu and Chief Gunner Koakoa, and return with Pirates' Research Log.

• "Understood. The task is mine."

Vergelmir said he needs more information on the Shulack Stigma. Visit Teirunerk first.

Well? What happened? Can you equip another Stigma? A Greater Stigma?

That intermediary I mentioned--it allows beings other than Daevas to use Stigma. Even Greater Stigma!

And I thought there was no more to be learned!

• "That's astonishing!"

Kinah is easy to earn, but technology isn’t so easy to come by, akakak.

The Black Cloud Merchants and Steel Beard Pirates are desperately trying to find things out about each other.

If Daeva brings the document here, it could turn the tide.

The Steel Rake is one of the Steel Beard Pirates’ biggest ships.

Give Shugo the document. Bring it to Shugo and then Daeva will find out everything about the Shulacks’ Stigma technology.

• "I have them here."

Many of your kind underestimate Shugos, friend Daeva.

In particular, not good to underestimate Black Cloud Merchants. We know things that...never mind, nyerk.

Is that letter for this humble Shugo?

• "It is."

Absurd!

Ships sunk...friends and brothers lost...all so we can give book over to Asmodian Daeva?!

But Teirunerk promised, nyerk...I must give you the book.

We have copies of information, but keep this safe, Daeva. Do not let it fall into wrong paws!

• "I'll be careful with it."

Tierunerk probably knew all along how to use the Artificial Stigma.

By witholding information, he was able to get more work out of you. Clever little fellow.

Did he give you anything else? Oh, tell me the answer's yes!

• "No. No, really, it's yes."

This is simply incredible. I'm only astonished it was the Shulacks who came up with it. The calculations, the complexity, the clarity!

I need another volunteer. Hmm, another drop of this, and splash of that. Here, try this!

I've never done this before but I think I got it right. Check to see if you can use more Stigma now.

Vergelmir said he needed more information on the Artificial Stigma. He asked you obtain it from Teirunerk.

Teirunerk wanted certain Steel Rake documents as payment for the information.

When you returned with the Pirates' Research Records, he told you to visit Kohrunerk for a book about Stigma.

Kohrunerk gave you a Tattered Booklet after reading Teirunerk's Letter. When you took the booklet to Vergelmir, he increased your Stigma slot.
