Finally settled in their new home, the Dataqi have returned to their daily routines─one such task being the milking of the sheep. The livestock, however, remain ill at ease in these unfamiliar surroundings, and the tribe's milkmaid seeks assistance in filling the jugs.

— In-game description

The Dataqi Chronicles: Duty is a level 65 FATE spawned in The Azim Steppe.

Additional Information

Unlike most Collect FATEs, there are no enemies to defeat. The warm sheep milk that you turn in to Altani is only collected from the Dataqi Sheep.

Dialogue

Before FATE starts:

Altani: Gather, little ones! It is time for milking!

Starting the FATE:

Altani: Welcome, traveler. Rare are new friends on the steppe. It is an honor to have you in our camp.
Altani: I was about to milk the sheep, if you would care to watch... Or perhaps you would rather join me?
"Milk the sheep?"
(Yes):
Altani: Very well. When you have filled the jug, bring it hither.
(No):
Altani: As I said, you are free to watch. Or leave. The steppe grants you the same freedom it does us all.

Small talk:

Altani: Milking a sheep requires both a clear mind and a calm heart. The animal can sense when you are distracted or fearful and her udder will tighten. That hasn't happened to you, has it?

Turning in:

Altani: If your jug is full, I shall replace it with another.
<confirm>
Altani: My thanks, traveler. This milk is vital to our survival...as well as our happiness. That which is not drunk by the tribe with the next meal will be mixed with sheep's blood and allowed to ferment. You haven't lived until you've tasted Dataqi brew!

Turn ins complete:

Altani: Rarely do we collect enough to make cheese, but today...

Turning in extra:

Altani: If your jug is full, I shall replace it with another. The tribe cannot have enough milk.
<confirm>
Altani: Many thanks, traveler. The sheep appear to have taken to you quite well.

After FATE ends:

Altani: So many jugs! This calls for celebration!
