Custom Deliveries for Kurenai were introduced in patch 4.3.
About
Kurenai has a dream. And to realize that dream, she needs custom deliveries. As a Disciple of the Hand or Land, you may contribute to her ambition to bring change to Sui-no-Sato. And who knows? If you do enough for her cause, she might even let you dress her up...
Quests
Items
Upon reaching maximum satisfaction level, the player is able to glamour Kurenai's outfit.
Rewards
Completing deliveries will give the player
Purple Crafters' Scrips or
Purple Gatherers' Scrips along with
Experience and a small amount of
Gil.
To deliver items, players need to be a Disciple of the Hand or Land at level 62. The client's satisfaction level will also increase.
- Items with a higher collectability will earn greater gil and scrip rewards.
- The satisfaction gain is fixed, as long as the item meets the minimum collectability requirement.
EXP gain scales according to the player's current level, but it does not increase with higher collectability.
The rewards given vary by the NPC's satisfaction level at the time of the delivery.
(Note: Orange scrip yields changed as of Patch 7.51. It seems that old NPCs' yields were raised to the new NPC yield, and the actual newest NPC (Tiisol Ja) has an even higher yield than that. Estimated but unconfirmed data is marked with asterisks.)

Dialogue
With your cooperation, I am confident that we can convince the citizens to embrace change.
This is the Gyr Abanian remedy? It certainly smells...<cough>...effective. As they say, the best medicine is often the hardest to swallow.
Apparently, this powder, made by grinding down rock, finds use in numerous traditional Ala Mhigan remedies. 'Tis an innovation born of the peculiarities of the region.
I understand the people of Gyr Abania use horn and bone meal to brew medicinal teas. I am hopeful that the bones of this curefish will provide like benefits.
On Satisfaction Level 1 Completion
With your help, we now have enough doses of the remedy to distribute among those most vulnerable among us. I pray this will allow us to prevent the illness's spread.

Start of cutscene.
Glad tidings,
Forename. Thanks to the remedy you have been bringing us, even those who took ill were able to recover swiftly. For the first time in recent memory, there have been no severe cases, and certainly no deaths.
Having experienced firsthand the medicine's efficacy, both our healers and citizens alike have been clamoring for more. Never have I seen my people so happy, so full of hope.
Lady Hisui? My dear mother─she too has been feeling unwell. Might there be any more of that remedy still?
Had you come asking earlier, my reply would have been no. But for a blessing,
Forename here has just furnished us with more. I shall see that it is delivered to you.
So you are
Forename. I have heard about you.
Aye, this is the kindly adventurer who has been working with Sanana. We owe our good health to their tireless efforts.
I shall be forthright. I still mistrust outsiders. Many of us do.
And yet...we are grateful. While we do not yet welcome you as the Ruby Princess does, we offer you our thanks all the same.
“As the Ruby Princess does”... Hmph, I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they learn who you really are.
Oh, Sanana, you mustn't entertain such thoughts, not even in jest. All know that the Ruby Princess must live out her days within the palace. So has it always been. Should my presence here come to light, the citizens would be up in arms.
We can ill afford to have them so distracted. No, I would have my people focus upon only one thing: embracing the outside world. Though they still have a long way to go, we will guide them, one sure step at a time.
Kurenai is pleased with your efforts. She now considers you a Supporter of Sui–no–Sato's Emergence!
And yet there is still much work to be done if the people of Sui–no–Sato are to shed their apprehensions towards the outside world. To that end, Kurenai has a new favor to ask of you...
Our people have begun to harbor interest in the outside world. We must nurture that interest by introducing more useful foreign items into their lives.
And for the next item, I ask that you bring equipment that might afford us protection against sharks. In the past, such things were unnecessary, as the people of Isari kept the creatures' population at bay through regular and large-scale fishing expeditions.
However, such expeditions were largely abandoned under imperial rule. As a result, shark numbers have multiplied to plague-like proportions, and in their competition for limited prey, the creatures have grown uncommonly savage.
In order to keep our citizens safe, I would commence regular patrols of the surrounding waters. Alas, our guards are ill equipped for such a dangerous task. Against a shark's tough skin, their weapons are as playthings.
Through the Blue Kojin, we acquired blades of steel from Kugane. Yet while these are indeed deadly sharp, their weight renders them unwieldy, not to mention they quickly go to rust.
What we need,
Forename, is a weapon that shall neither rust nor be stopped by sharkskin. With your knowledge of techniques from above, could you please furnish us with such an item?
End of cutscene.
The Custom Deliveries list for Kurenai has been updated. To view the new list, speak with Kurenai and select Make a delivery.
Smiles are beginning to appear on the people's faces, and it is in no small part due to you, my friend.
Hmmm, yes, impressively sturdy yet suitably light. A harpoon such as this should serve us well against sharks and help to keep our waters safe.
Ah, of course. Though metal has its uses, in our watery domain, bone and stone shall ever be the materials of choice for weapons. Our guards shall be well pleased.
Such imposing fangs, as sharp as they are long! Fine harpoon blades these shall make, in the spirit of Gridanian philosophy. We have much to learn from those dwellers of the forest.
On Satisfaction Level 2 Completion
And with this, we now have enough harpoons to arm our guards. Regular patrols may finally commence!

Start of cutscene.
As anticipated, our guards were very pleased with their new harpoons. What I did not anticipate, however, was that our youths would also take a shine to them. They were quite fascinated by its foreign construction.
And this is a source of delight for you, Hisui? Placing one's trust in land-dwellers... I cannot think of a greater folly. It will not do for this sentiment to spread.
Jik...I mean, Lord Jikkan! And Lord Shiosai besides. To what do I owe the honor...?
It has come to my attention that our citizens are being led astray. Seduced first by outsider medicines, and now outsider weapons.
I labor to comprehend how the princess could permit this. 'Tis bad enough that the guards have taken up these harpoons; now our youths desire them too! Mark my words, this can end in naught but bloodshed.
Lest we forget, both the Confederacy and the Kojin were dragged into Doma's bloody conflict against the Empire.
Should their leader, this Lord Hien, learn that our people are arming themselves, in his insatiable thirst for war, he may well come banging on our gates to demand our participation. Surely you see the danger.
With respect, my lord, may I remind you that this is not the palace. There are eyes and ears all around us─foreign eyes and ears.
I would remind you also of the agreement: that you and your fellow elders would watch how the citizens respond to Her Grace's plan. As impartial observers. Your words can ill be described as impartial.
We have naught to gain by cowering inside our little bubble! Nay, by shutting out the rest of the world in the name of tradition, we but consign ourselves to a slow demise!
You presume to lecture me, Hisui? You who know little and less of worldly matters, whose sole purpose is to attend Her Grace.
Hmmm, for a moment, though, I thought the princess herself was addressing me. You have ever shared her looks, but it seems you have taken on her mannerisms as well.
Er...y-yes, it must be all the years serving Her Grace. I have...er, come to know her mind as though it were my own.
...Hmph, well, I suppose this is but a fleeting infatuation with the novel and new. Given time, the people will remember the dangers that lurk without and come to their senses.
Now, there's a man you can love to hate. I take it he's the conservative-in-chief?"
You might say that. And yet, independent of his influence, many others harbor the selfsame fear. The fear that, by throwing open Sui–no–Sato's gates, we would be swallowed up in a maelstrom of foreign agenda.
When a simple bloody harpoon can trigger such a fearful reaction... Your people really have no stomach for conflict. Well, no one with any sense would, but this is just unhealthy.
Indeed. 'Tis an irrational fear, ingrained over generations and perpetuated by willful ignorance. If we are to free ourselves from it, we must have the chance to know the world above.
Kurenai is delighted with your efforts. She now considers you a Stalwart of Sui–no–Sato's Emergence!
And yet there is still much work to be done if the people of Sui–no–Sato are to shed their apprehensions towards the outside world. To that end, Kurenai has a new favor to ask of you...
Your Grace, if I may, there is a particular item that I would request of
Mistress/Master Forename.
But of course, Shiosai. None among us is more familiar with our people's daily lives than you. What is it that ails them?
As Your Grace knows, we dwell at the bottom of the sea by virtue of the Kojin's enchantments. Yet though we have air to breathe and live, our home has ever been a bitterly cold place.
Due to our closed environment, we cannot avail ourselves of the benefits of fire. And so we have had to endure, covering ourselves in such garments as we possess. While this may suffice for the young and healthy, the old and infirm struggle simply to survive.
Indeed, the cold has ever been a trial for us. Yet I have heard of a place above far colder still, a land of endless winter where ice falls instead of rain. There, a great nation thrives, and its people must have effective ways of coping in that frozen clime, such as garbs of transcendent warmth.
That's got to be Coerthas, I reckon. I've never been that far out of Ul'dah─at least not till now─but you've definitely been there, right,
Forename?
A more dependable adventurer I have never known. I shall let you all return to your work, then. By your leave.
Permit me to echo Shiosai's sentiment. Truly, we are blessed to have a dependable ally such as you. I shall look forward to seeing the fruits of your labors.
End of cutscene.
The Custom Deliveries list for Kurenai has been updated. To view the new list, speak with Kurenai and select Make a delivery.
Each day is filled with new discoveries. Though the work can be tiring, I could not imagine a more worthwhile way to expend my energies.
My, such thick, warm garments! Naught that we have could compare to this. Thus clothed, we need no longer shiver through the night.
So, by coating garments with this fluid, one can increase their ability to ward off cold? That something so wondrous should exist! Our citizens will surely be impressed!
The resourceful denizens of Coerthas apparently weave dragon scales into their garments for added warmth. Borrowing from this inspired idea, we shall avail ourselves of the scales of this fish, which has evolved to survive in extreme cold.
On Satisfaction Level 3 Completion
Thank you,
Forename. With the items you have brought us, none of our old and infirm need fear Sui–no–Sato's cold nights any longer. I shall see to their distribution at once.
I am pleased to say that your winter wares have been very well received. The old and infirm are singing their praises, and those around them cannot help but be impressed as well.
The items from above have improved our people's lives greatly, and Shiosai is making certain that the elders are aware of this fact. It cannot be long now,
Forename. Soon we will─
That will be enough, Princess.
Y-Your Grace... L-Lord Jikkan, he came without warning and...and forced me to reveal everything... <sob>
Your demeanor when last we spoke struck me as odd, and so I put a little test to the Ruby Princess. Imagine my surprise when I learned that she was in fact the lady-in-waiting, posing as our wise and noble ruler!
'Twas my ploy and mine alone. I submit myself to any punishment you deem fit.
But this is no place to discuss such matters. Let us first return to Sui–no–Sato. If you would permit me one request, however, I would have a moment with my two companions.
Very well, I shall go on ahead. And though I do not think you will run, Hisui will return with me.
P-Princess, I... Please forgive me!
There is naught to forgive. 'Twas I who put you up to it. Go on, I shall join you anon.
Are you all right, Kurenai?
And so it comes to this. The risk was ever present, and yet the disappointment... It is almost too much to bear...

Start of cutscene.
Kurenai is overjoyed with your efforts. She now considers you a Savior of Sui–no–Sato's Emergence!
And yet there is still much work to be done if the people of Sui–no–Sato are to shed their apprehensions towards the outside world. To that end, Kurenai has a new favor to ask of you...
End of cutscene.
A new quest continuing the story of Sui–no–Sato's emergence into the world is now available. Upon its completion, the Custom Deliveries list for Kurenai will be updated.
We are so close now,
Forename. With but a little more effort, we shall realize our dream of opening Sui–no–Sato to the world!
We have ever only seen the Ruby Sea as our home, and not a place for the mysterious and exotic. To think that you could bring forth such a splendid object from these depths! You never cease to amaze me, my friend.
I had never harbored much interest in trinkets, but even I cannot help but be mesmerized by this resplendent jewel! To think that such beauty slumbers in our very own waters...
Oh my, this clam is a veritable giant among its kind! The pearls it yields is certain to impress the people of the surface!
On Satisfaction Level 4 Completion
Thanks to your tireless efforts, we now have a sufficient stock of products that may represent Sui–no–Sato. I pray that they will meet with Jikkan's satisfaction.

Start of cutscene.
I took the liberty of showing our people the signature product you have been bringing us. It seemed appropriate, seeing as it is to represent their home.
All were in awe of the foreign techniques employed in its creation, and full many of them were inspired to contribute like items of their own.
The quality doesn't compare to yours, of course, but it's none too shabby either. As a matter of fact, it's good enough for the House to deal in. By my reckoning, we've got enough hands to meet anticipated demand─assuming they're willing.
T-Truly!? If the House of Splendors should be willing to stock our products, we would be honored to supply them!
Glad to hear it. I must confess, though, I've been eyeing ways to turn a profit out of this for a while now. Grateful as I am for my life, I couldn't call myself a trader if I ignored the opportunity for an exclusive supply deal.
Oh? Is that the way of it? You did not give me that impression in the least.
Heh, you still have lots to learn about business, Princess. I'll have to teach you good and proper, else you're liable to be eaten alive out there.
You are all here. Good. I have...I have come to offer an apology.
Well, if it isn't Jikkan! An apology, you say? I take it you've seen all the good that's come of
Forename's handiwork?
Indeed. I have been observing our citizens. Never have I seen them so invigorated, so alive. Their passions enkindled by the prospect of having a product to call their own. As it stands, I believe that Sui–no–Sato would not only survive, but thrive, were we to emerge into the world.
This brings me to my apology. My fear of the unknown had blinded me to many things, not least of all to our people's potential. I see this now, as do my fellow elders. And I speak for all of us when I say that we would be grateful for your continued support of Her Grace's cause.
We are as newly hatched fish yet trying to find our way in a great ocean. I, too, ask for your continued support...though I myself can no longer be involved in this endeavor.
Ever since my charade was exposed, I have been prepared for this moment. Though I am grateful for being indulged these extra days of freedom, 'tis past time that I returned to my place, in the palace.
With regards to that, Your Grace. 'Tis my firm belief that one among us who harbors the greatest passion for the outside world should continue to collaborate with our visitors.
Indeed, Lord Jikkan. I doubt not that you and your fellow elders shall find a suitable replacement.
<sigh> For someone who advocates the need for change, Your Grace bends all too easily to tradition when it concerns yourself.
There is no need to find a replacement. For who harbors greater passion for the outside world than you?
Wh-What? But...the law...
Rest assured your lady-in-waiting has expressed her willingness to continue ruling in your stead. Your presence will still be required at functions of import, but outside of those times, you are free to continue as you are.
Full certain, Your Grace. Remain with Sanana and
Forename. Learn well from them. For the future of Sui–no–Sato depends upon it.
Kurenai could not be happier with your efforts. She now considers you a Shining Light to the World!
Through your efforts, the people of Sui–no–Sato have come to embrace the outside world. It seems, however, that Kurenai has a different sort of favor to ask of you...
To finally see Sui–no–Sato embracing the world without... 'Tis nothing short of a dream come true. I cannot thank you enough.
Heh, even Jikkan's a staunch supporter of the cause now. Let's keep up the good work. So! What kind of wares should we bring in next?
There is something which I have had in mind for a time. As it is not urgent in nature, I had set it aside until such time as we had addressed our citizens' more pressing needs.
In our libraries, there exists a tome that describes a continent floating in the firmament. An enigmatic place called the Sea of Clouds, said to be home to countless treasures.
I should be grateful if you could bring me one such treasure. It would serve as a token, I believe, of the vastness of the world─a reminder to our people to turn their gaze ever outward.
Come now, Princess, you just want to see the treasure for yourself.
Hehe, a claim I shan't refute. And if truth be told,
Forename, there is another favor I would ask of you.
You will recall that, for our visit to Kugane, I had the opportunity to dress as the locals do. Simply donning the attire provided me with many an insight into the culture whence it came.
I have since learned of wondrous objects called glamour prisms. Through them, I would be grateful if you could alter the appearance of my garments, thereby allowing me to gain an insight into even more cultures.
However strange the method may seem, if it grants me deeper understanding of the outside world, I am open to it. Should you come upon any likely garments in your travels, I ask that you reserve them for me.
End of cutscene.
Future requests will be selected at random from all those you have seen thus far, with the list refreshed once a week (Earth time).
You may review the items currently in demand at any time by speaking with Kurenai and selecting Make a delivery.
Furthermore, Kurenai's appearance may now be altered through the use of glamours.
My friend, full glad am I to see you. Have you come with a delivery? Or do you perchance have new garments for me to try?
Though it may strike you as silly, it gives me uncommon joy to behold treasures from above. I could stare at such a beautiful thing all day long... <sigh>
By the kami, such a magnificent beast this feather must have come from! Ah, what I would not give to behold the creature with mine own eyes as it takes wing.
What a peculiar creature... Verily, the Sea of Clouds is a mysterious place. Fauna such as this will surely pique the citizens' curiosity.
If the collectability rating is low
Now then, if I may take a closer look... Yes, the quality is above reproach, as solid as the bedrock upon which we build. It shall serve our people most admirably.
If the collectability rating is mid-range
Now then, if I may take a closer look... Ah, now this is a fine example of its kind, a shining, shimmering coral that rises above its neighbors. Your reputation is truly well deserved!
If the collectability rating is high
Now then, if I may take a closer look... By the kami, not even the sun-illuminated splendor of the ocean could compare to its brilliance. Yours is the work of the divine, my friend!
Truly, this is a thing of beauty. With a signature product of such rarity and quality, it shan't be long ere the name Sui–no–Sato resounds the world over!
If the player delivers
Cloud Pearl and the collectability rating is
highN-Now, where was I? Ah, yes. The world is home to wonders that far surpass aught I am capable of imagining, and I am grateful for these little glimpses of what lies beyond. You have my gratitude.
Upon reaching weekly limit

I am truly grateful for your many contributions,
Forename.
At risk of repeating myself, I find myself marveling at your versatility. Is there naught that you cannot do?
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
On behalf of Sui–no–Sato, I offer you my humblest thanks.
I am seeing more smiles upon the people's faces than ever before, and it is due to your generous contributions.
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
That I am able to continue as I am, striving for the betterment of Sui–no–Sato's future, is because of you, my friend.
Now, while we are grateful for your continued cooperation, you mustn't overwork yourself.
Glad though I am for your visits, the kami knows there are others out there who have need of you. 'Twould not do to keep your many talents for ourselves.
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
Thank you as always for your kind contribution,
Forename.
The items you bring are a source of great joy for my people. But that is not all. They also give me no small amount of personal pleasure.
Hehe, a little side benefit for my efforts, shall we say?
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
Thank you yet again for your plentiful contributions, my friend.
Lest you wonder, I have been returning to Shisui regularly in order to discharge my official duties. And en route back, I make a point of visiting our libraries.
There I scour our tomes for references to the items you bring, that I might learn about their places of origin. While it is no substitute for firsthand experience, I am glad nonetheless for these little glimpses of the outside world.
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
By now you must be royally sick of hearing my words of thanks...but I shall thank you again all the same.
Do you remember when we first spoke? The day I beseeched your aid in purging the palace of the wraiths. That day, I did not dream that ours would become such an enduring friendship. That I would come to depend upon you so.
End of cutscene.

Start of cutscene.
'Tis no exaggeration when I say that you are a savior to Sui–no–Sato. And to me personally, you are a shining light to the great wide world beyond.
As much as I have already learned, I still have far to go if I am to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. While I doubt that I ever will, I shall never stop striving, and I pray that you will ever continue to watch over me.
