Dialogue

Guidingway: Ah, there you are. Do you have a moment? While going over the resources sent by our collaborators, I stumbled upon a rather curious morsel of information that wants for verification.

Guidingway: Is it true that you procure crafting materials from other living creatures, and thereafter use them to craft without using creation magicks?

Guidingway: Incredible! I'd like to try my hand at it, but first I'll require materials to craft with...

Guidingway: Considering what resources are here in Mare Lamentorum, I thought a daphnia would be the perfect specimen to harvest material from, but I am hardly a hunter.

Guidingway: But that's where you come in! Being Hydaelyn's champion and all, I have no doubt you can handle a daphnia or two. Might I trouble you to bring one back for study?

Guidingway: Wonderful! The daphnia inhabit the area around Lovingway's Darlings, if you're looking for a place to start. Happy hunting!

Guidingway: Welcome back. I take it you have a daphnia for me? Or what's left one, I suppose.

Guidingway: Oh, goodness! Apologies, I've never seen one this close before.

Guidingway: Yes... As I thought, the skin is quite elastic.

Guidingway: With this, it should prove no trouble at all to produce clothing for people of all sizes!

What will you say?

• Sounds quite comfortable!
  • Guidingway: I had hoped you would approve! We'll make the finest garb for you and your kind.
• Wouldn't clothes from that be a little too...translucent?
  • Guidingway: Now that you mention it... We'll have to come up with a rigorous dye treatment to ensure the cloth isn't too revealing.
• Are you sure clothes made from that are a good idea?
  • Guidingway: What's the matter? The resulting garments will be highly practical, not to mention comfortable.

Guidingway: In any case, you've been a great help. It's not much, but I'd like you to have this.
