Though the people of Ishgard and dragonkind have agreed to a truce, they have yet to fully realize the potential of such an alliance. The dragonling Ehll Tou hopes that by learning the ways of artisans, she and her brethren may contribute to the Ishgardian restoration and strengthen the bonds of trust with their newfound friends.
Unlike most other Custom Delivery clients, you will not be able to glamour Ehll Tou. However, there is a different reward upon reaching maximum satisfaction level.
To deliver items, players need to be a Disciple of the Hand or Land at level 70+. 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.)
Note: Nitowikwe gives 141 orange scrips for tier 3, instead of 140.
Bonus
When an item category is on bonus (only possible for NPCs at level 5), the rewards are multiplied by 1.5x (rounded down), resulting in the following rewards:
Even the most masterful works of crafting are a common sight to us who grew up in Ishgard. But to a dragon, I imagine even a hawker's stall is something to behold. Would that I could see the world from their eyes!
So, this is what we need to make tools for gathering? Truth be told, I struggle to envision how all these parts fit together, but I suppose grasping that is the first of many steps. Oh, I may very well be the first dragon to make her own tools!
So this is what we'll use to make tools for gathering? But what of the tools you used to gather these materials? Are there tools made to gather materials used to make tools that gather materials!? Ack, my head hurts...
Now what do we have here! A shell this hard is like to sunder even the densest of stone. Just imagine the precious materials we could unearth with this!
Your supplies truly have been a godssend, hero! I'd say we have more than enough for me to begin learning the fine art of gathering in earnest. Let's go speak with Master Arvide at once!
An education which is off to a splendid start, I must say! I believe I have developed a keen sense for the finer parts of gathering, which Master Arvide says is the basis of all crafting.
But even for gathering you must have tools! And to make those tools you must gather materials... And to gather those materials you must have...more tools?
Ack! It's tools all the way down, isn't it? Or is it materials? Ah, no matter. It's as much a fool's errand as trying to guess if the dragon came before the egg.
Indeed you are correct─without one trade the other dies, and vice versa. That's precisely why I aim to see you proficient at both before our time together is done.
To that end, I've devised something specially for those tiny claws of yours: an Ehll Tou-sized pickaxe!
I see now that even though you wingless ones lack claws and fangs, you have the strength to shatter stone and sunder earth. I have an inkling now of how powerful the first of you to wield a pickaxe felt!
For something so small and light, it is remarkably sturdy. Even I could swing this all day without tiring! The hidden treasures of the world shall be mine!
This is all I could have hoped for and more! Thank you, Master Arvide!
All I did was put the parts together. It was our friend that did all the hard work. Actually, Forename brought so many materials that I had enough to make a few more pickaxes. Perhaps you could give them to your dragon friends.
Ah, well, you see... I'm afraid it wasn't quite like that.
The dragonets were delighted to see what I had brought, of course. The elder dragons, however, practically flew into a rage, haranguing the younger ones and insisting that such tools are contrary to a dragon's very nature.
Although it was far from the enthusiastic reception I had envisioned, I still believe that the prejudices of the past will─nay, must─give way to new ways of thinking if we are to coexist peacefully with the Ishgardians.
And I know for certain there are those among the other dragonets who are of the same mind. I must continue to persevere, else my efforts so far will have been for naught.
What a marvelous suggestion, Hautdilong! Hmm...but there is still the question of what I might craft. Something eye-catching, unlike anything they've seen before.
Why not try your hand at weaving? The materials are lightweight and the tools are small enough for even you to use deftly. Clothing designed for dragons would be especially novel, which I'm sure many of them would find interesting.
That depends on our friend here. I'll need some help procuring the materials, if it's not too much trouble. I'll give you a list of what we need, while I take care of the rest.
Master Arvide explained to me that since we dragons are covered in tough scales, we've no need to fear needles pricking us. My claws are still a bit too clumsy for delicate work, but I feel that weaving might very well be my calling!
Weaving is an intricate art indeed, wouldn't you say? From plants we make fibrous strings, and we spin those into yarn. Then that yarn is knitted into... Oh, it's enough to get you all tangled up!
Careful, now! Have a care not to prick yourself on these spines. If what Master Arvide told me is true, they're as sharp as knives. They will, however, make perfect needles for weaving of all sorts. I wonder how many drops of blood were spilled in anger before someone thought to make this dangerous fish into a tool?
If we don't begin my education in weaving soon, I fear we may run out of room to store all the materials you've delivered! I must tell Master Arvide─you won't mind watching over the supplies while I'm gone, will you?
Ah, the man of the hour arrives! My thanks for furnishing us with the weaving supplies we requested. I took the liberty of arranging the rest of what we need, so I believe we're well prepared to begin our next lesson.
What say you, Ehll Tou? We have the materials, and we have the tools. Do you have the desire to learn?
Behold, my very first items of clothing, sewn by my own claws! Have you ever seen a dragon more dashing? My design took inspiration from Master Arvide's cap, in case you hadn't noticed.
The labor was painstaking, and I must admit I contemplated giving up more than once. However, now that the work is done, I feel a sense of accomplishment unequaled by aught else! So this is why you wingless ones pursue the art of creation!
I simply must teach the other dragonets what I've learned. I'm certain there are many and more who would be willing to bring their own ideas to life!
I simply must show my friends in the Churning Mists. If they show sufficient interest, perhaps I will weave caps for them to wear, too!
Ah, I had forgotten just how dapper you look in your new accoutrements. I trust your friends up in the clouds were just as taken with your new appearance.
Indeed they were! Particularly the dragons that are of age with me─they likened it to being able to change the color of their scales at will!
I invited them to return to the Firmament, but it seems they are still hesitant to mingle with people. I can't blame them, I suppose.
Were it not for you, I too may have given up on my journey and returned to the clouds, wondering what may have been. I have learned to overcome my fear of your kind. Would that I could say the same of my kin.
From where I'm standing it seems clear that you must find a way to allay their fears. Show them that crafting─and thereby your friendship with those that teach it to you─is something that enriches, not harms.
Yes... Master Arvide, you're brilliant! I shall do precisely that!
While my new garments may be fashionable, I could never hope to make one for every dragon in the Churning Mists. There may be another way to their hearts...
I speak, of course, of that favorite pastime of man and dragon alike: eating!
When first I arrived in Ishgard, I was overwhelmed with the smells wafting from the marketplace. So many spices and aromas mixing together set my mouth to watering as it never had before! Perhaps I can bring that experience to my kin!
Ah, so this is what I use to make culinary delicacies? Up until now I thought cooking was little more than a matter of roasting meat until blackened, but I can see now that is not the case. I shall treat this tool with the utmost care.
I'm quite a bit weaker than my full-grown brethren, and possessed of ungainly claws besides. As such, when considering which materials to use, we must give special consideration to their weight and size.
Master Arvide tells me the ocean waters are teeming with plants that are essential to a range of dishes. I would never have imagined that within those depths lay the secret to bringing out flavor in even the most mundane meals.
Ah, at last we have everything we need to make tools worthy of the finest tavern in Ishgard! I must hurry to inform Master Arvide—my stomach is rumbling already at the thought of how we might put those tools to use!
You've been hard at work, haven't you? With all the time your industrious efforts have saved us, I've taken it upon myself to make all the tools we'll need for our next step: cooking. Take these, Ehll Tou.
I daresay you would fit right in alongside the chefs at the Forgotten Knight. You now hold two of the most useful tools for any chef: a skillet for frying and a hatchet for gathering your own ingredients.
Of course, you'll also need seasoning and myriad other smaller utensils. Oh, and flame, of course. Anyroad, I've arranged everything for you, so take a good look and remember what you see.
Finally, we've arrived at cooking! Since we began, I've been imagining the feast I will prepare for the other dragons. It shall be like nothing they've tasted before!
Now, now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Perhaps more so than any other form of crafting, cooking relies on a firm grasp of the fundamentals. You must practice them until they come to you as naturally as breathing.
Good, but a word of warning: you may find it hard to stomach your own cooking in the beginning. Now, let's visit Anna and get ourselves some birch sap. Making syrup from that is one of the simplest and most delicious recipes a budding chef can know.
And what's more, be they low- or highborn, not a soul in Ishgard can say no to a dollop of it. If our first go at it turns out all right, make sure to share some with Hautdilong.
Ehll Tou's journey has been long indeed, and it seems she still has a ways to go. Does every crafter go through the hardships she has?
Ah, that is heartening news. Truth be told, I had some doubts as to whether or not she was suited to this, but I see now that she is in good company. As am I.
Speaking of which, Ehll Tou has told me much and more of her kind, and I have taken painstaking notes every step of the way. I feel the day I can begin writing my chronicles is fast approaching!
Ehll Tou is overjoyed with your efforts. She now considers you a Skillful Supervisor!
All that remains is to wait for the fruits of her labor.
I had that same thought! You can have more later, but for now let's concentrate on the task in front of us. Keep well away from the jar—I'll know if you've stuck your hands inside!
Speaking of tasks, have you two come up with any ideas regarding what to serve at this feast of yours?
Yes, eventually. I suggested one of my favorites: liver-cheese sandwiches. They're small enough that even a young dragon like Ehll Tou can eat them easily, and a sandwich is so much more of a novelty than a piece of bread.
But then Ehll Tou brought up a good point: dragons aren't used to rich flavors, so liver-cheese might be off-putting to some.
In the end, we decided to go with a lightly seasoned fish for the filling. Perhaps one day dragons will come to appreciate the wonder of liver-cheese, but for now I'm confident we can make a sandwich that will be the talk of the Churning Mists.
Ah hah! With this, I am one ilm closer to completing my masterpiece─a dish fit for dragons! The others are sure to go wild over it, and I daresay it will take all I have to not take a bite or three for myself...
What went through the mind of the first person who took all these ingredients and threw them into a pot? I expect a fair amount of trial and error was involved, but the results certainly are delicious. Perhaps one day a recipe of my own creation will be handed down to others!
The proper seasoning of food is an art I must master, and to that end young Hautdilong has suggested we start with fish. I see no reason to object─fish are among my favorite delicacies!
Fine work, as always, hero! With this, I have more than enough ingredients to begin my culinary masterpiece─a dish that is certain to have every dragon in the Churning Mists clamoring for more. Of course, you are more than welcome to lend a helping hand if you so wish.
Thanks to you, Ehll Tou is ready to share the product of her hard work with her dragon friends. I'd say they're in for quite the treat.
I gathered a few ingredients of my own, and together with what you've brought we've made sandwiches using kaiser rolls. I've tasted them myself, and I've never had any better!
Dragons might find this type of food a bit puzzling at first, but I'm sure the taste will be to their liking. Ehll Tou, you had best get it to them while it's still fresh.
Anyway, I must be off at once! I would hate for the bread to stale and the meat to dry! Farewell!
Ehll Tou could not be happier with your efforts. She now considers you a Cultivated Crafter!
Through your efforts, Ehll Tou has gained a deeper understanding of mankind and fostered her love for crafting. It seems, however, that Hautdilong has a different sort of favor to ask...
A new quest continuing the story of Ehll Tou's efforts to learn crafting is now available from Ehll Tou. Upon its completion, the Custom Deliveries list for Ehll Tou will be updated.
Have you seen? The Firmament is positively brimming with dragons. Oh, there is much and more I must teach them. I can't expect every one of them to adjust as well as I have!
The ingenuity of man never ceases to astound! With naught but paper and ink, they can make themselves heard even when they are not present. There may be more than a few dragons who would make use of such a contrivance if they knew how.
Thanks to your tireless efforts, I believe we are well situated to begin work on young Hautdilong's chronicles. However, more materials means more copies of the book in the hands of man and dragon alike, and thus more voices to sing the song of peace in unison!
We only need to add color to these and we'll be able to make pictures that practically fly off the page! I can scarce wait to hear the songs Hautdilong's book will inspire in both man and dragon alike!
Yes, yes... My mouth is watering just imagining what I might make with these ingredients. The other dragons may very well be compelled to travel all the way to Ishgard just to get one more bite!
If the player delivers Printing Essentials and the collectability rating is high
There you are! You have my utmost gratitude for all your deliveries so far.
I feel that before long I will be able to call myself a crafter in truth, just like you and Master Arvide! Of course, young Hautdilong's efforts deserve recognition as well!
Your help is appreciated as always! I have made efforts to see your deliveries in the claws of the other dragons, and I daresay more than a few of them have developed an interest in just how those things were made.
This is only the first of many steps in healing the rift between man and dragon─the first verse of a new song that will be sung by all!
Hautdilong and I shall continue our work here until Ishgard becomes known as a bastion of brotherhood and kinship!
To that end we will continue to converse, to share stories, and to learn everything we can from one another. Of course, you are welcome to join us any time you wish!
In fact, from the way Master Arvide speaks of your work, I wouldn't be surprised if he asked to become your pupil for a spell. Truth be told, I'd have more than half a mind to join him!
Of course, I realize you have other heroic matters to attend to, so we shall have to be content with your surpassing contributions.
Hautdilong is most taken with your expert craftsmanship. Hardly a bell goes by without him asking when next you will return with a delivery.
When I had first envisioned writing the chronicles of dragonkind, I imagined myself finishing them when I was old and grey. To think I would already have both the research and the materials required to finish them!
Full eager am I to see your work compiled in a glorious tome! With it, we will inspire both dragon, man, and creatures yet unknown with a new song of peace and friendship!
Your diligence is ever an example for others! Truly we could not have achieved what we have without it.
I have learned much and more of your kind, and made friends and mentors I to whom shall forever be indebted. However, even more heartening is that other dragons have done the same. The Firmament is alive with the sight of man and dragon sharing and cooperating.
The new song I set out to create shall be sung by one and all, and its chorus shall herald a new age of peace.
When you and Lord Francel came to our aid after I first arrived with Marcelloix, I would never have imagined all of this would happen. Truly fortune smiled on me that day!
You have my word that I shall never forget all the things you've done for Hautdilong and I. It is only fitting that the same woman/man who brought an end to the Dragonsong War would play such a foundational role in building a new era of brotherhood."
