This is the new NPC added by SE in the latest update in Gridania, and he takes deaspected crystals in exchange for crystal shards and a 'Peregrine Helm'. I was just wondering if anyone had managed to glean any interesting information from him?
I traded for some fire shards and he mentioned that the Amaljaa were trying to work out what was causing the deaspected crystals too. I imagine trading for different elements makes him talk about that particular element's beastmen/primal (He mentioned ifrit in mine) and I'm curious to know what he says if you get the helm in particular.
Ronan Kognan - Anything interesting to say?

you should trade it for Peregine Helm.
-
07-25-2011, 08:53 PMSephrI did indeed, I'm not really sure how it factors in but having not played a lot I did log in to see the new stuff. There's only so much a person's achievements will tell you.Quote:

I am saving my crystals for the helm, sorry!

I traded 30 for a helm immediately (shards are useless to me) and he didn't really say much of interest. Though I may consider trading more for each type of shard just to hear the flavour text you speak of.

I bought a Peregrine helm. He said this:
Most curious... It seems the crystals share some bond with the moon. Yeees, the lunar phases seem to influence the flavor-err, the rate at which the crystals lose their aspect.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling the greatest loss of flav-errr, power occurs on cloudless evenings when the moon is clearly visible. Ahhh, but I must know the truth... Bring me more.
My character's next blog will be on this topic and theories regarding the formation of deaspected crystals. -

Disguised Eikon/Archon, calling it now!
Thanks a lot for posting that, someone else commented a while back they'd seen an NPC mention one of the moons was steadily getting bigger.. I never found out whether it was true or not but I do find that kind of stuff really interesting! -

Is the Peregrine Helm the only item that you can trade the crystals for at the moment?
-
07-25-2011, 10:33 PMSephrThat, and crystal shards of each element.Quote:

On a related note, you may be on the money about him being at least related to Urianger - Ronan is wearing a belt with keys what I don't think I've seen on anyone else other than our elusive prophet. -

Ooh that's interesting, thanks for letting me know! I'll have to take a look once my interwebs come back.

07-26-2011, 12:06 AMCatapultSorry to say the helm is unique and untradable....Quote:

Just found the text for 'Moonstruck' on zam for those who might be interested:
"I'nairoh: Welcome back, adventurer! You did a fine job of clearing the path to Bloodshore. I encountered not a single beast along the way. And was I able to discern the brightness of Dalamud's gaze, you ask? Well yes...and no. It is hard to say... Alright, alright. I'll tell you what I saw, but you must swear not to think me mad."
"When I first looked into the sky, it was clear to me the moon was brighter than it had ever been. I read this as a good omen, and was ready to return to my vineyard when something compelled me to take one more look. And that is when I realized my mistake. Yes, Dalamud was brighter...but it was also bigger. I must have stood there for a good half bell until voices from further down the Eastroad woke me from my trance."
"One can never be too careful in a region crawling with thieves and brigands, so I duly concealed myself behind a nearby shrub. However, as they walked by, I knew right away that they were not the ruffians we are used to seeing here in Bloodshore. No, they were far too clean cut, did not reek of grog or ale, and spoke with a queer accent. One was speaking into a linkpearl, and I heard him say, “None yet know of our arrival.” Unfortunately, they passed out of earshot before I could make sense of the rest...and I had little desire to follow them."
"Once again, you have my thanks for clearing the path. Rest assured, I will put aside these discomfiting thoughts of Dalamud and the strange outlanders for the time being, and focus all of my energies on the harvest! Oh, and here is the reward I promised you."
Very interesting, and a bit foreboding for the future. Thanks again for telling me about it! -

Is it 30 deaspected Crystals to the Lalafell for the helm? Hmm I might have to do this, is the helm good at all?
-
07-26-2011, 01:17 AMArchadiusIt has little practical value, it's just a fancy decoration/bragging piece.Quote:

It's the same model as the Onion helm or whatever it was from the CE, with a red plume on top.
