Do you know how easily weapons break?

I can assure you, I do, since I am in charge of replacing them. These are extraordinary weapons, too, and, as such, they require extraordinary materials to make them.

Of course, it requires extraordinary effort to gather those materials...

"What manner of material is it?"

To craft weapons that survive even the fiercest of battles, you need [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_QUEST_45031_a].

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who could get [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_od_30c_1] for me.

We can't send our soldiers out hunting for Aether Gems when they should be fighting, after all...

Any chance you could give me a hand, [%username]?

"Accept." "Decline."

Aether Gems are obtained by Essencetapping a [%dic:STR_DIC_G_od_30c_1].

We urgently require these [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_QUEST_45031_a] so we can prepare for the impending battles.

They aren't easy to obtain, but I must ask you to do so regardless.

"I shall bring you all I find."

I know that you're busy, but could you help me after all?

We need the Aether Gems really urgently, and I don't know anyone else who could get them for me.

If we don't have good weapons, the Asmodians might defeat us.

Please reconsider.

"I may reconsider later."

[%username]! You're back!

I've been impatient for you to return.

Did you get the [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_QUEST_45031_a] I asked for?

You hand over the Aether Gems.

We cannot supply our troops with useful weapons without the [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_QUEST_45031_a].

You don't want to have to watch as our soldiers fight with inferior arms, do you, [%username]?

I don't want to put pressure on you, but the situation leaves me no choice.

Please get going immediately and bring me the Aether Gems.

"I will return with more."

It can't have been easy to obtain that many Aether Gems.

I'm very grateful!

I'll never forget how much you helped the Elyos forces, [%username].

Hopefully, the new weapons will bolster the troops' fighting spirit.

Extract [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_G_QUEST_45031_a] from the [%dic:STR_DIC_G_od_30c_1] and bring it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Cymaon].

[%collectitem]

Cymaon requires Aether Gems to craft weapons capable of being used in the Abyss. Bring the Aether Gems to Cymaon so he no longer needs to worry about the supply of weapons.

Cymaon said that the weapons used in the Abyss are all specially manufactured. He said that the weapons need to be treated with Aether Gems to harden them for especially violent battles.

The supplies from Sanctum were insufficient, so he wanted to craft the weapons himself. However, he required Aether Gems to do so.

You extracted Aether Gems from the Shining Vortex and brought them to him, much to his delight.
