Aether is the power by which Aion created our world, and the force which holds it together.

Aether only manifests to a chosen few, even amongst Daeva, and the ability to extract those bits of Aether by Aethertapping is rarer still.

Now you stand on the threshold of becoming an Aethertapping Expert--an honor bestowed upon but a select few of our Daeva.

Ha ha, eager as ever, your character. I like that. But hold on a moment. I need to administer a final test.

The test is simple, though many Daeva will spend a lifetime working towards achieving it. You need to extract two rare kinds of Aether and bring them to me--the Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

Obtain those, and you will be recognized as an Expert. Are you up to the challenge, your character?

As you are my best student, I can't very well send you off without a little something to aid you in your quest.

I've prepared an Expert Aethertapping Ring, which will maximize your Aethertapping abilities and heighten your sensitivity to Aether. Just talk to Areke to get it.

You won't be able to extract Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether without it, so don't lose it. Return soon to your well-earned title of Expert!

This final test is not trivial, but you've already come so far, your character.

It would be a shame to give up now.

Many Daeva spend a lifetime pursuing this honor. Don't quit while you're this close.

Ah, your character. It's nice to see you back.

Is there something I can get for you?

Need a few reagents to aid your Aethertapping?

This is an important day, your character. Master Ustarn has long foretold that you would become an Aethertapping Expert. I too knew you would succeed.

Here's the Expert Aethertapping Ring you need to extract the Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

I wish you luck on this final test, but I doubt you will need it, your character.

Far too often, a craftsman can't finish a masterpiece because their Aethertapping skill doesn't allow them to acquire the right materials.

But Aethertapping isn't just another gathering skill--it's an art. It takes deft hands and a well trained mind honed to keen points.

I'm sure you know this, your character--I'm just trying to pass on all the wisdom I can. Now then, did you complete my test?

There's no rush, your character.

This isn't meant to be a trivial task. Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether are rare, but I know you have the talent to extract them.

Come back once you've obtained them.

There's no mistaking it--this is Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether.

I have nothing more to say, your character. You are no longer a mere student--you are an Aethertapping Expert!

Congratulations! I never imagined you would come so far in such a short amount of time.

1. Receive an Expert Aethertapping Ring from Areke.

2. Bring the Two Types of Aether to Ustarn.

   Dazzling Aether, Luminous Aether

Ustarn said that you were ready to take the final test towards becoming an Aethertapping Expert. Get the Expert Aethertapping Ring from Areke and complete Ustarn's challenge to become an Expert.

Master Ustarn said the time had come for you to take the final test and become an Aethertapping Expert.

You wore the Aethertapping ring you received from Areke and extracted Dazzling Aether and Luminous Aether. Upon returning to Ustarn, he congratulated you on passing the final test and becoming an Aethertapping Expert.
