Steps

Journal

  • To rule the skies is not enough; the Ehcatl Nine would do so in style.
    • ※The crafting portion of this quest is recommended for Disciples of the Hand level 16 and above; the battle portion, for Disciples of War or Magic level 49 and above.
  • As the Dezul Qualan nears completion, Jezul Ahuatan finds himself more concerned about the image the Ehcatl Nine will project with their new airship. To simply soar above their earthbound brethren is not enough; they must do so in an airship both powerful and aesthetically pleasing. To this end, Jezul Ahuatan would have you meet with a brother of Ehcatl in Natalan, who has infiltrated enemy ranks and stolen the materials needed to craft high-quality decorative plating components. Venture within the Ixali stronghold and, with the chat mode in Say, enter the password “Amid the Flowers” to identify yourself as a friend.
    • ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.
  • The Ehcatl infiltrator responds to your cryptic phrase with an equally cryptic reply of his own, before furnishing you with the decorative plating component materials you seek. Present them to Norbettaux at Camp Dragonhead in order to gain access to the crafting facility under his care.
  • Norbettaux has prepared the crafting facility for your use. With the materials you have obtained, synthesize two decorative plating components, and deliver them to Jezul Ahuatan at Ehcatl.
    • ※In the event that the status Facility Access: Finishing II wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Norbettaux.
  • Never let it be said that the Ehcatl Nine are lacking in passion, for upon receiving your components, Jezul Ahuatan is driven into a frenzy of Ixali pride. The Second echoes the words of his chieftain, declaring that his brethren shall soon fulfill the destiny for which they─and you─have long labored. Indeed, when the Dezul Qualan, that shining culmination of the Ehcatl Nine's hard work, one day takes flight, you can take pride in knowing that the obnoxious decorations which grace its hull are but one of your countless contributions.

Dialogue

What next will Ehcatl ask for, featherless one wonders? Squee-squee... Quality decorative plating components, we seek this time. Of the utmost importance, soaring through the heavens in style is!
Ornamentation for the hull of the Dezul Qualan, we seek, to further demonstrate our superiority to buzzards below! Sqqquawk!
Paints for the hull of the Dezul Qualan, we seek, to further demonstrate our superiority to buzzards below! Sqqquawk!
Ornamentation for the hull of the Dezul Qualan, we seek, to further demonstrate our superiority to buzzards below! Sqqquawk!
Yet held by the selfsame buzzards, the materials we seek are! Requests to share, they would squawkka-wak! Accomplish nothing, diplomacy will!
On subterfuge, we shall rely! Deep within their ranks, a brother of Ehcatl lurks. Secured our materials, he has, but leave Natalan, he dares not. Render infiltration moot, we will have him not!
Behind enemy lines, you must go! Locate our brother, you shall! Yet play the part of foe, he must, unless a friend, he knows you to be. “Amid the Flowers,” to him you must say, lest to maintain fiction, slay you, he shall!
With our brother in Natalan, featherless one must meet! “Amid the Flowers,” to him you must say, else a violent death, at his hands you shall meet!
Featherless ones!? Within Natalan!? Die, you shall, for this trespass!
With the chat mode in Say, use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter the password “Amid the Flowers” to let the Ehcatl Nine silencer know you are a friend.
Amid the Flowers
Come share a dream! Friend of my friends, for you, I have been waiting!
Linger, you cannot. Materials, take to Camp Dragonhead for crafting. With you, I cannot be seen, else forfeit, our lives shall be.
To Camp Dragonhead, you must fly! With you, I cannot be seen, else forfeit, our lives shall be!
Welcome to our humble facility! You needn't say a word. You're expected, you see. You need but show me the materials to begin.
You must be very brave to venture so deep into Natalan—far braver than I, that much is certain! Now then, without further ado, your materials—the excess I will retain for safekeeping.
If you require aught else, you need but say the word. Additional materials, additional time with the facility—either I would be more than happy to provide.
A bit flamboyant for my tastes, but so long as the client is satisfied, who am I to judge? Safe travels, my friend, and remember that should disaster strike and you need to recreate your components, I will be here.
None the worse for wear, you are! With our brother, you met? Our components, you have brought!?
Squee-squee... Fail us, I knew you would not! The envy of all Ixal, the Dezul Qualan shall be!
With the wind, we shall fly! High as honor, we shall soar! With wings unbending, we shall roam free! To the earth, our enemies shall fall! Amid the flowers of Ayatlan, we shall live our dream!
Chief Totoloc, thus spoke he! Ehcatl Nine, thus shall we be! Squaaawk!
You now have access to the crafting facility.
Normal-quality items crafted in the course of this quest serve no purpose and cannot be sold. It is recommended that you discard them.
