Miniature Dragonkiller

Character name: Ez Aditya
World name: Adamantoise
In-game item: Bluebird Earrings

Component name: Miniature Dragonkiller

Fighting Bismarck makes us realize how vulnerable we are fighting against sky dwellers. It's a Trial proven impossible without using Dragonkiller. So why not fashion ourselves Miniature Dragonkiller to be mass produced on every Airship?



To the Ishgard's Skysteel Manufactory where I think the technology lies! Besides, we have to ask if Dragonkillers are already patented or not



Turns out that the method of crafting Miniature Dragonkiller is proven impossible without mastercraft help. Who else but Gerolt that can help us? A bottle of Bacchus wine can change his mood



Success! Now we can safely explore the skies of Abalathian without worry of any flying enemies trying to terrorize us.

My Friends and I always need a little pick me up when out adventuring for time on end. The answer to that is Coffee!
When you want the best you need a good heat source. I know just the fellow to provide that!


Next we need a solid metal and mythrite is just the ticket, if tanks can use it, it is good enough to process our delicous drinks.

It may be chilly, but I'm dreaming hot java.

And when I finally get all the materials I can craft up my new Blazing Ifspresso Machine. My friends seem to be drinking coffee
while waiting on coffee.... oh bother.


Ifrit Ain't hot.......

Ugh, what the heck...? Let's see if this works.

Character: Meer’a Mihksa
World: Balmung
Item: Bluebird Earrings
Component: Airship Reverse-Siren Sonar (ARSS)

The song of the siren has lured many unsuspecting sailors to their doom; however, if I were to reverse its polarity, the song should guide a ship to safety instead. When I heard about the dangers of airship travel, I knew it was time to introduce my ARSS to Eorzea.

An old friend allowed me to peruse her notes for a means of containing the siren’s voice. Her assistants were invaluable in helping me find the information I needed. My friends could barely suppress a giggle when they asked where I pulled the idea of my ARSS from; I knew they felt as giddy as I did about this project.

I wish I could show you my old friend, but she graciously asked to remain anonymous. Despite her indispensable aid, she adamantly refused to accept any credit, or as she put it, “liability.”

[Warr_of_Lint]

While traveling to Pharos Sirius to slay the siren—blamm!—a detective of unquestionable wit literally fell out of the sky. I immediately sensed something great about him, but I must confess, it was not his intelligence that caught my attention.

It was his senseless, yet selfless, determination that truly impressed me. I informed him of my plans and he agreed to help, but I found myself tangled in his misadventures: a string of seemingly unrelated thefts, gang warfare between moogle crimelords, a bad cactuar mount idea, abductions by little green lalafell from the moon, and a murderous plot involving foot odor. After an older man in sunglasses (the only thing he wore aside from underpants) suplexed a train, things started getting weird. I’ll spare you the details, but we ended up saving Eorzea!

[Warr_of_Lint]

Almost forgot where this was going—we also captured the siren’s voice along the way.

Many horrendous fatalities occurred in the design phase, but everyone preemptively refused to let me dedicate my ARSS to their honor. I often cried because of their selfless dedication—that, and the fact that they met indescribably horrible ends. Eventually we came up with a stable ARSS design THAT DIDN’T DRIVE INSANE ANYONE WHO HEARD THAT BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL VOICE!

I stood in awe of the final prototype. The beautiful appearance of my ARSS complimented the melodious tone it emitted. My old friend said she expects this to go about as well as her colleague’s attempt to summon a succubus. That sounds like an endorsement to me!
