Take the purse given to you by the dig supervisor and deliver it to Serendipity, the master of the Goldsmiths' Guild in Ul'dah. It is Rammbroes's hope that the presence of a celebrated adventurer will prompt the goldsmiths to redouble their efforts to procure the required materials."

By some strange coincidence, it appears that the Roegadyn engineer is also intent on purchasing what little aethersand there is to be had. After a somewhat one-sided negotiation, he relinquishes his questionable claim on the only available batch in exchange for a role in the forthcoming expedition. The fire-aspected aethersand thus secured, inquire as to whether Biggs might know where to obtain the three remaining varieties."

49,"TEXT_GAIUSD202_01200_RAMMBROES_000_001","Well, I say “substances,” but one might just as well call them one substance─namely “aethersand”─which has four elementally aspected varieties. Alas, aethersand is neither common nor cheap. Indeed, it is not unusual for the abrasive to exceed the value of the precious stones it is used to polish."
50,"TEXT_GAIUSD202_01200_RAMMBROES_000_002","Given the rarity of the materials in question, the Goldsmiths' Guild in Ul'dah seemed the likeliest place to purchase the quantity we require. When I contacted the guildmaster, however, I was informed that no aethersand was currently available. Though I requested that word be sent as soon as new stock came in, I have yet to receive aught but apologies. I should mention at this point that I placed the order some time before you procured the flawless crystals..."
51,"TEXT_GAIUSD202_01200_RAMMBROES_000_003","I am well aware that acquiring aethersand is no small feat, of course, and I am not an impatient man─but I fear the more we delay our investigation, the greater the risk that the tower's secrets may fall into the hands of other...less savory parties."

Mayhap the presence of such a distinguished personage will spur the guild into action. In any event, it is my hope that when next we meet, you will have found at least <Emphasis>one</Emphasis> of the four varieties of aethersand we require!"

76,"TEXT_GAIUSD202_01200_BIGGS_000_035","If you mean to go looking for the aethersand yourself, you'd best catch up with Wedge over in Bluefog. As for me, I plan to set out for Mor Dhona, just as soon as I've finished locking up the workshop."

My employer─a Lalafellin lad─wished to pay a visit to a peddler who deals in some manner of special sand. I forget what it was called but 'tis apparently worth a small fortune. Anyway, when we arrived, the man claimed his stock had been stolen by bandits."
79,"TEXT_GAIUSD202_01200_NPC_000_042","Determined not to return empty-handed, we crept into the bandits' stronghold and set about locating the stolen goods.

It was, I concede, perhaps a touch foolish─and very nearly fatal─but I <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> succeed in snatching the stuff before my bodyguard ran away and several dozen bandits came piling after me with knives and axes and what looked very much like a plank with a rusty nail in it. Oh, thank the gods! You're a true friend, Player! I hope the search doesn't prove too troublesome─the bandits don't seem to care much for visitors...

It must have fallen out when I was, um...taking evasive maneuvers. It seems I won't be leaving this infernal place for a while yet... The aethersand must have slipped out of my pocket while I was busy evading the bandits. I'm sure it's somewhere around here...

Then you should really be the one to have this. Biggs and I are far from exhausting all possible avenues of airship innovation, but it sounds as if your problem can't be solved by any other means.

This expedition of yours sounds jolly interesting, I must say... I'm half-inclined to join you. In fact─I think I will! Any venture worth the chief's time must be worth a look!

A “treasure trove of Allagan knowledge,” you say? ...I see. Right! I'm more than ready to leave this awful place behind! And you should return to Mor Dhona with that aethersand before there are any more, um...little mishaps. Be sure to keep a close eye on your pockets, Player!

Biggs and I are far from exhausting all possible avenues of airship innovation, but it sounds as if your problem can't be solved by any other means. Ah, Player, you have returned. I take from your presence that you were successful in procuring us some aethersand. Tell me, which variety did you find?

In fact─I think I will! Any venture worth the chief's time must be worth a look! ...I see! Two varieties. Well, that is two more than could reasonably be expected─and two less than I had hoped you would say. Forgive my flippancy. You have done well, truly. If all goes to plan, we need no longer fear death by fire or earth.

I take from your presence that you were successful in procuring us some aethersand. Tell me, which variety did you find? I shall set to work immediately. Truth be told, I've been looking forward to this. One does not encounter materials like these every day.

If all goes to plan, we need no longer fear death by fire or earth. Speaking of which, how in the seven hells did you find them? Mistake me not, old friend─I know only too well how capable you are, but aethersand isn't something you simply find gathering dust at the back of a merchant's rare gem cabinet.

It will be good to have them around. Still, as a matter of professional pride, let's endeavor to procure the two remaining varieties of aethersand before they arrive, shall we? Tell me, Rammbroes─have we any information on where the water- and wind-aspected types might be hiding?
