Journal
- Rral Soj is still reeling from Papawni's sudden departure.
- You speak with a despondent Rral Soj, who is still trying to process why Papawni left to Earthenshire so suddenly. You explain that the potsworn are talented artisans contracted by the Moblins, and she finally comes to understand Papawni's unusual behavior. Rral Soj herself once aspired to craft metalworks that would be recognized by all, but after being told by a Moblin that she would have to travel to Kozama'uka to learn under them, she decided to abandon that dream, and stayed in Tuliyollal to establish her store as the best place to have order-made supplies crafted in a timely fashion. Now intrigued to learn more about Earthenshire, and wishing to make amends with Papawni, she asks that you accompany her to the settlement.
- You barely arrive in Earthenshire before sighting Papawni, speaking with her former caretaker. Apparently the cheerful Moblin has already accepted a different artisan into their care, which prompts Rral Soj to encourage her erstwhile employee to return to Tuliyollal and work with her again. Papawni is reluctant, however, and with some exasperation, you hint that they may be able to compensate for each other's weaknesses. The Moblin picks up on this, presenting all three of you with the task of repairing their scales' faulty fulcrum. Rral Soj and Papawni are willing to try out this new approach of cooperative crafting, and so the self-taught proprietress asks that you speak with her once she's had a moment to prepare the necessary components.
- Rraj Soj has tasked you with crafting a fulcrum to fix the helpful helphand's scales, which you must then deliver to Papawni.
- ※In the event you lose the components or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Rral Soj.
- Papawni replaces the faulty fulcrum in the scales with the fulcrum you prepared, and applies some additional finishing touches to make the previously broken device nigh good as new. Rral Soj and Papawni are both in high spirits from discovering how well they work with each other, and after some encouraging words from the helpful helphand, Papawni expresses interest in returning to XRral Soj Metalwares. The proprietress herself is eager to work with the former potsworn again, and believes that together, they can craft metalwares of unequaled quality at unequaled speed. Yet they will need time to work out the kinks, and Rral Soj would have you aid until they have. The pair return to Tuliyollal, where you intend to join them.
Dialogue
<sigh> I appreciate you bein' here, Forename. Could really use someone to talk to right now.
Don't even know where to start. Should I chase after Papawni, or leave her be...? Hope you don't mind if I ramble a bit. Might help me to clear my head.
Thanks. Might not be obvious, but the truth is, I think the world o' Papawni.
When she first came to my shop, she was like a pup that lost its bark—head hangin', ears droopin' and all. But that pup had determination. I could see in her eyes when she told me she wanted to work here, she meant it.
I knew then, and I know now her devotion to the craft is the real deal. Ain't no denyin' it. But the fact is, her approach is time-consumin'—and that runs counter to the core tenet o' my shop.
That said, I'm the one who decided to run things this way. And the reason I did...well, let's just say I lack the talent to craft quality items at a pace I'm comfortable with.
I'm in sheer awe of the way you're able to make veritable works of art with such efficiency. You're leagues above someone like me. Everythin' I know about metallurgy, I learned on my own.
Come to think of it, even though I've been hirin' your services all this time, I've told you little and less about myself. That's about to change.
In my youth, used to be that I put together equipment for the local hunters in a village far removed from here—or any other signs o' civilization, for that matter. Developed a love for the craft in those days, and decided to pursue it. Followed where the people were, which led me here, to Tuliyollal.
First thing I did when I arrived was look for the nearest Moblin willin' to hire me. Even where I come from, everyone knows nobody forges finer metals than them. Figured I could learn from 'em on the job.
I pleaded with 'em till they finally offered me a chance...on the condition that I moved to Kozama'uka.
I refused. I wanted to be near the people I craft for.
And that was that. I gave up my opportunity to learn under the Moblins and founded my shop specializin' in daily necessities, with the promise o' a swift delivery.
What will you say?
The Moblins are masters not of metallurgy, but caretaking.
The Moblins hire artisans to craft for them.
Judgin' by what Papawni said before she left, I reckon there's much about the Moblins I don't know. Mind fillin' me in?
So that's the way o' it, eh... All this time, I thought those metal marvels were made by the Moblins themselves.
When they agreed to hire me way back when, must be that they wanted me to move so I could learn under the other “potsworn” in their care.
Potsworn like Papawni, who'd never been thanked by a customer once in their life...
She said she was gonna return to the Moblins and work for 'em again, but she must've cut ties for a reason. Not so sure her former employers will take her in so easily...
I'll admit it—I'm worried about her. I want to see if she's all right...and I want to see what sort o' environment the Moblins prepared for artisans like her. Would you mind taggin' along with me to Earthenshire?
So this is where the Moblins and the potsworn live... Now, where do you reckon Papawni might be?
Is that so... Are you sure there's no room for another artisan?
My goodness! Mistress Rral Soj, Forename! What are you doing here?
I didn't want to leave things between us as they were. And... Forename told me about the potsworn.
I knew you cared deeply about the quality o' your work, but I didn't understand just how much until coming here. This place is filled with masterpieces—I can see how makin' 'em would be much more fulfillin' than my borin' old tools.
So... Will you become a potsworn again?
O-Oh, no... My former helphand has already welcomed someone else.
Then come back with me! Now that I've seen firsthand what kind of work you were involved in, I can give you qualitative tasks you'll excel at. I'm sure of it.
But... That would go against your code!
No, I mustn't return. I refuse to inconvenience you any more than I already have.
What will you say?
You both complement each other so well. Can't you see that?
You both need to talk this out. Properly.
Pfff... Pfffkohhh... We've seen countless crafthands make metalpieces! We can discern crafthands' characteristics with quickfastness! Papawni, Rral Soj, they are opposites!
One's strength is the other's weakness! By compensating for one another, they can create metalpieces faster, greater than they could on their own! You think so too, don't you?
Pfff... Kohhh... Why not put the idea to trialtest?
Balancescale is broken. Needs repair. Fulcrum is no good, very unstable. We cannot check trueweight of anything!
Please help me fix. Rral Soj prepares materials. Papawni sees to the finishing touches.
Forename helps these two work together.
Instead o' craftin' individually, we simply handle the tasks we specialize in...
I'm willin' to give it a shot. And we certainly can't abandon our friend in need of capable artisans here. What say you, Papawni?
Y-Yes, of course!
Then I'll get started on preparin' the components immediately. Give me a moment, would you?
Normally, I prefer to oversee the entire process of crafting an item myself, but I know how terribly inefficient it is. I'm willing to give this a try!
Sorry to keep you waitin'. Here are the components. Forename, I'd like you to assemble the fulcrum.
Once you have, please hand it over to Papawni, so she can see to the replacement and any finishin' touches. I believe that's the most efficient way to go about this.
Should you run out of components, just say the word. I've plenty more on hand.
I shall examine the damaged scales and consider what other adjustments may be necessary in the meantime. Pray let me know when the fulcrum is ready!
Papawni's metalwork is very careful, very elaborate! Deep, fathomless regret did I feel the day she ended her potpact!
Need more components? Not a problem. Lookin' forward to the quality fulcrum you produce.
That's a fine fulcrum you've crafted. All that's left is for Papawni to handle the finishin' touches.
Having examined the scales closely now, I've confirmed that a fulcrum will indeed be necessary to restore the device's functionality. How fares your progress with the assembly?
Oh, this is magnificent! I shall replace the broken fulcrum with this one immediately!
The balance grew crooked after long years of use, but now that the fulcrum has been replaced, I am pleased to report that the scales are back in working order! I also noted some stiffness during my examination, so I applied oil to ensure it functions as smoothly as possible.
Pfff... Pfffkohhh... Marvelous! It's like new! Now I can measure trueweight with quickfastness again!
Such wonderful, efficient work! From heartbottom, thank you, crafthands!
It is I who should be thanking you. I truly do enjoy the feeling of interacting with patrons directly...
We take pride in providing the perfect place for creators to create. That's how we know each crafthand requires different environment to thrive!
If Papawni requires environment where she is heartbottom thanked, then that's where Papawni can do her best craftwork. She should hold onto such a place, and never let it go!
If it truly wouldn't be a trouble... If my skills would truly be of benefit...
Then I wish to work with you again, Mistress Rral Soj!
You're the artisan I aspired to be, but could never become, Papawni. When I first opened my store, I yearned to forge metalwares that would be revered by all. But I wasn't good enough, so I let go o' that dream. I focused on my strengths, and built my business on quantity instead o' quality.
But if we were to work side by side, I know we could not only deliver products of the finest quality—we could have them ready as soon as the customer requires 'em. I need you, Papawni.
Then let's do our best, together!
All's goodwell that ends goodwell! I'll be cheering for your success, Papawni!
It's thanks to you steppin' in and helpin' us that Papawni and I were able to have a heart-to-heart, Forename.
There's no better way to an artisan's core than through the process o' craftin', eh? As one yourself, you know this all too well. And yet your purview extends far beyond the realm o' this trade—don't think I've forgotten you're an explorer too.
I know I can't keep someone o' your talents tied down to my shop forever... But I'm hopin' you stick with us till Papawni and I get the hang o' the new flow o' things. That sound all right to you?
Thanks. Then let's head back to the city.
One moment I'm trying to renew my contract as a potsworn, the next I'm asking to resume my duties here... I hope you can forgive my indecisive behavior.
I'm truly grateful to Mistress Rral Soj. Though I'm not ashamed of the love and care I put into everything I craft, I also do not wish to burden her. Yet if our respective strengths can compensate for the other's weaknesses, I can think of no place I would rather be!
Take care, and good luck! We are thrilled once-potsworn Papawni has found a new home!
The Moblins provide a paradise for artisans. Room and board, heaps o' materials, and unlimited time to focus solely on the craft. But if you ask me, nothin's more peaceful than this here shop.
I myself have come to understand that while Earthenshire has its charms, so too does XRral Soj Metalwares.
I'll always cherish my time as a potsworn...but I know now that I need an environment where I can connect with the people for whom I craft.
Then allow me to welcome you back to the shop, Papawni. Let's give it our all.
Papawni and I need to discuss our craftin' process from here on out. Give us a few minutes, would you?
The next request will be available from Rral Soj upon reaching level 98 as a blacksmith, armorer, or goldsmith.
In order to undertake the subsequent quest, you must first complete the main scenario quest “Together as One.”
Normal-quality items crafted in the course of this quest serve no purpose and cannot be sold. It is recommended that you discard them.
