What are you doing? You can't just tie the Piece of Aegis around your staff like a lady's favor!

No, no, no! Oh, you silly your class. Only a master craftsman can combine these two.

You just go on to Sanctum and meet up with Anusis. He'll take care of you for a moderate fee--probably around 8,000,000 Kinah--or he'll...he'll...he'll be a shady, dark-loving thing.,

I remember when I was younger and more romantic. I believed everything was perfect then, the way it was in Artisans Hall where Anusis and I crafted together.

We made designs together, ate together, laughed together.... It was a golden time for me. But he would get impatient, and I would get sad.... Then I moved out here, older and wiser and far away from Sanctum.

But don't let his impatience bother YOU. No, you are a paying customer, and Anusis will do right by you.

If you're not going to use the Piece of Aegis, can I have it back?

Unless you're a paying customer or a master-candidate hopeful, get out. I have no patience today.

You talked with Laestry? What else did he say about me? Is he planning to come back?

Sorry, paying customer.

Yes, I can combine Laestrygos's Staff and a Piece of Aegis for you, but it requires detailed work and will cost you 8 million Kinah. That's a firm number, and I've already brought the price down since you're a friend and all. Well, Laestry's friend.

Out of my shop! When you're serious, come back with all three things--Piece of Aegis, Laestrygos's Polearm, and my 8 million.

Out! Lighterica are on!

Most craftsmen can go fifty mortal lifetimes before seeing a Piece of Aegis. Wow. Look at the colors. If you just reach out and.... Oh! Oh! Hello there, Aegis.

Let me just close my eyes and commune. Mmmmmm. It's in my soul. I can practically feel the vibrations right down to my....oh, yeah. And here's Laestry's Staff. It feels just like...just like him.

So, your character, you're still here. What do you think of your new staff?

1. Take Laestrygos's Staff, a Piece of Aegis, and a moderate fee to Anusis.

   Laestrygos' Staff, Piece of Aegis, Kinah x8,000,000

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and said Anusis in Sanctum could combine it with Laestrygos's Staff.

Laestrygos gave you a Piece of Aegis and said you should go to Anusis, a master craftsman who could combine it and your Laestrygos's Staff into a powerful new weapon.

When you went to Anusis in Sanctum, he successfully imbued the staff with the power of the Piece of Aegis.
