Yesterday was payday...but instead of paying me in Kinah, Balom gave me this thing! He says it's precious...some sort of Aether crystal.

If it's so precious, why did he give it to me?

"You may just have to take it."

Oh, Gorgon poo! You're right, of course. No one argues with Balom.

I need to find a way to turn this thing into Kinah.

I wonder...do you think that if I take this to a Handicrafting Master, along with some [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a], they could make something special?

"It's possible."

But there is no way for me to get [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a]. Oh, Balom makes me so angry! Why did he give me this...this...thing?!

[%username], would you collect some [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a] for me? If I can't sell it, I may have to go without food....

Accept. Decline.

Unlike Balom, you are friendly, [%username].

I would like you get me 10 [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a].

Platinum Ore can often be found in lava and basalt regions. So it would be best if you head off towards the Musphel Gate.

I will wait for you.

"On my way."

No? [%username], you and Balom are a lot alike.

I thought a Daeva would be different. But I was wrong.

Just go away. Don't worry about whether I starve or not....

"I'm sure you'll be all right."

Have you already obtained 10 pieces of [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a]?

Daevas are just known for their speed.

Can you show me what platinum ore looks like?

"It looks like this...."

You still haven't left to look for [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a]?

I'm somewhat disappointed in you. I'm running out of time.

I should not be saying this as a supplicant, but please hurry.

Please bring me 10 Platinum Ore.

"I'll get right on it."

1, 2, 3... 10. Right. To manufacture an accessory, I need at least 10 of them.

Phew. Now I am truly tired of working for Balom.

But there are Daevas to help me, which relieves my burden enormously. Thank you so.

Collect [%dic:STR_DIC_DG_noblemetal_n_c_30a] and take it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Karina].

[%collectitem]

Collect Platinum Ore and take it to Karina so that she can make an accessory using the Aether crystal she had received as payment.

Karina complained that Balom had given her an Aether crystal as payment instead of Kinah.

You brought Platinum Ore to her so that she could make an accessory with the Aether crystal and sell it. However, she paid you so much for your work that you started to wonder whether there was more to her story than she was saying.
