Character name: Devin Bacon
World name: Leviathan
In-game Item: Scarf of Wondrous Wit

Component name: Residual Channeler

Voyages can be difficult, especially when you come across a not-so-friendly monster. How about you try my new Residual Channeler?
This device will surely help make your punches pack a bit more heat.



First, I went and gathered 13 Unaspected Crystals, and 300 HQ Electrum Ore.



Next I had to craft the Residual Channeler. This is where things got messy. And not just because I forgot to bathe.



I had to defeat several adventurers on the front lines. Upon defeating each one, a bit of Aether would be sapped from their soul gems into the Residual Channeler, giving it the power it needs.
I just know this device will come in handy! Just hope it won't blow up in my face again.

World name: Ultros
In-game Item: Bluebird Earrings

Component name: Gordian Hull

The metal from Gordias would make a hardy hull for a ship, capable of bringing back more loot than other ships. I introduce the Gordian Hull!


With my ever faithful friends by my side, we won the prize I sought- several rather heavy Gordian Sheet Metal plates. It was a tough fight!


I could begin my work to create the Gordian Hull, but I couldn't do it alone. I performed my craft under the watchful eye of guildmaster H'naanza, and she gave me some Grenade Ash to bind the plates. The Gordian Hull hasn't even taken a scratch yet!

Character Name: Elsi Vhin
World: Cactuar
Component Name: Primal Wind-Aspected Rigging
In-game item: Bluebird Earrings


Are you tired of violent turbulence and high winds telling your airship what to do? Well I have just the thing for you. Just stea- I mean gather a bunch of Garuda minions to protect your rigging. I have it on good authority a large shipment of minions are scheduled for delivery soon. My "business associate" Patches is very reliable.



Next you will need to obtain a large amount of Garuda's Feathers and infuse them with your rigging. The little guys seem to be drawn to them and will act as a natural barrier in flight.



Of course you will want to keep a supply of wind shards on hand to feed your minion crew. You do not want the roof of your house blown off when they get cranky.



Enjoy your speedy new airship!
