your character, I can't tell you what a privilege it has been to watch you grow from callow apprentice to the fine weaponsmith you are today.

I think you are finally ready for the next step. But it is a big one.

I know you are, or I would not have even considered letting you try for the rank of Master.

But this is a great test. You must impress the Convent of Marchutan with a weapon worthy of High Priest Agehia herself.

Agehia's Noble Greatsword is the key to great things. Will you take up the challenge?

Yes, I knew you would. It will be a long, hard process, but you've come this far, so I know you're up to it.

Mima has the design you need. You'll have to buy it yourself, but it's worth the Kinah.

It is your fate to become a great Weaponsmithing Master. I'll be watching with pride.

Don't be so hasty, your character. I know there's much to do, but this is a rare opportunity.

Few can even attempt to earn this rank--fewer still achieve it--but you've come this far.

I trust you will return. I'll be waiting for you when you do.

My contribution to Asmodae's war effort may be small, but it is important. If weaponsmiths are the hammer that forges Asmodae's future, then I am the anvil.

But enough idle talk. Did you have business with me?

Ah, you are attempting the rank of Master! Excellent! It does my heart good to see such skill put to the ultimate test!

Yes, I do have the design you need...in a sense. I actually sell two: one for Agehia's Greatsword, and one for Agehia's Noble Greatsword.

Both are one-time use only, so be careful. The first costs 251,000 Kinah, and the second 334,500 Kinah. The good part is, if you buy the better version, you'll get a Noble item every time, as long as your crafting is successful. Any questions?

The design for Agehia's Greatsword is very basic--there are many factors left up to the smith, like Aether balance and metallic reactions.

Making Agehia's Noble Greatsword from this design takes great skill, patience, and a little luck. As such, the chances are against the average weaponsmith succeeding.

But the price is lower--only 251,000 Kinah, and that includes a prototype.

The Agehia's Noble Greatsword design is very detailed. Every possible factor has been considered and accounted for. As long as you have the skill, and can follow directions, success is assured.

Of course, the price reflects the work that went into it--334,500 Kinah, including the prototype.

I have to confess--I am a little nervous. I always am when a student of mine reaches so high.

It's been ages since someone like you has come along. I've put a lot of work and pride into you, so your success is mine as well.

Speaking of which, have you something to show me? Agehia's Noble Greatsword, perhaps?

I do not want to rush you. As I'm sure you've learned by now, Weaponsmithing is not something to be done with undue haste. If it takes time to prepare, it takes time. This is an important step.

Still, as I said, I am a tad nervous. Please come see me as soon as you succeed.

Ah, you're studying the design, are you? Very good. It's vital for any job, especially one as complex and important as this.

Just remember to absorb every nuance. Make it your own, as if it sprang from your very own soul. If you do, Agehia's Noble Greatsword will leap from your forge like an eager child.

The attempt failed? Ah, a shame. Don't fret--even I have been known to slip up on a rare occasion.

Return to Mima when you are ready. I'm sure you will succeed next time.

Hrm, didn't go as planned, did it? It happens, even to the great ones.

Failure is welded to success, like Shugo and Kinah. The only thing any of us can do is pick ourselves up and try again.

Your ambition and skill reminds me of my own--as does your need--but I have my own life to think about, my own needs. And designs like this cost Kinah to make.

Please return when you can afford one of my designs, and I'll be happy to help.

Let me see it.... Ah! The blade is perfectly straight, the balance is flawless....

This is very exciting, your character. I'll have to spend some time with this to complete my inspection, of course, but....

Well, I think I'll have good news for you when you return. Azphel's shadow be with you!

You are qualified to achieve the rank of Weaponsmithing Master. Create a sword for High Priest Agehia to prove your worth.

Logi told you that your Weaponsmithing skills were amazing, enough to qualify for the rank of Master.

You created Agehia's Noble Greatsword for the High Priest of the Convent of Marchutan.

You gave it to Logi, and he was quite impressed. He told you to return later for your results.
