I've been hanging out with the Shulacks lately, listening and learning.

With what I've heard, what we've been able to suss from tinkering, and from the intel arriving from Udas Temple, I've figured out how to open a new Stigma slot!

A bit of an ego hit having to admit I didn't figure it all out on my own, but I'll survive the embarrassment.

• "Hey, sometimes it takes a village."

It took a lot of Stigma Masters, Turners, researchers, and consultants, but we seem to have the process down now...mostly.

I'll admit, it's still a little tricky...but if we succeed, poof! New Stigma slot!

Yah, it's a bit risky, but what's risk to a Daeva? Do you want to give it a go?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Alrighty then. First, you'll need to collect Ensouled Aether, which was formed and concentrated in living tissue. According to our research, Ensouled Aether can be harvested from the beasts of Conqueror's Ravine in Inggison.

You can obtain it from Inggison Tricos, Inggison Trico Foals, Haze Spirits and Tidal Seafoams. Oh, and you'll also need to pick up a Aether Refining Toolbox!

If this works, and I'm positively kind of sure it will, we'll crack open that new Stigma slot.

• "Positively kind of? That's...encouraging."

Collect the materials Reemul needs to open a Stigma slot.

No, you don't have to try my new new process. You could head over to the Udas Temple and look for more clues. I hear there's some good hiking over there, and perhaps you'll find a simpler and more risk averse method to open Stigma slots. Maybe. You never know.

But it's an awful long way to walk...and my process is sort of sure to work.

• "Ok. Let's do this."

We'll need Ensouled Aether from Inggison Tricos, Inggison Trico Foals, Haze Spirits and Tidal Seafoams.

And don't forget a Aether Refining Toolbox!

Without those, it won't even kinda sorta work.

• "Yah, yah. I've kinda sorta got it."

Well, we're part way there. This is some premium quality Ensouled Aether, but it's not nearly enough.

We'll need mounds more before we can start...wait! Where are you going?

Don't forget the Aether Refining Toolbox!

Reemul suggested you to try his new method for opening a Stigma slot. You thought it sounded itneresting, so you brought him a pile of Ensouled Aether and an Aether Refining Toolbox.

He told you to bring more. Anticlimactic, really.
