Back when they called me "The Great Darfen," I'm sure I looked as you do: happy only when crafting furniture.
Then the politics started and Rayot was the only one who stood beside me against the fools who thought... Well, never you mind what they thought.
The point is you have a talent, fated unto you by the Empyrean Lords. You should craft something that proves your talent.
Yes! You need to progress, else the Lords will get angry for squandering their gift.
You must craft [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_D_SKILL_MENUI_299b]. It's a variation on a piece you may have made before.
The key is to continue crafting until you come up with the higher-end item.
You can buy the design you need from dear [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Rayot], the only one who understood me in the days following...
Well, my history isn't important to your crafting, is it?
No passion. No drive.
I should have known a flighty [%userclass] didn't have the character to become an Expert.
...and then they have the nerve to say, "Darfen, you have so much to share with the world."
How can I refuse to teach--teach!--after that?
Look here, you clawless joker. Unless you bring the completed [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_D_SKILL_MENUI_299b], you remain unappreciated for your work.
I grow weary of students who waste their potential... and my time.
I was right! You do have the talent to progress.
This may be the best Darfen's Chair variation that I've ever seen.
Passion. Drive. Experts need these.
Two fields are more than enough to sap your energies. Two expert levels at a time. Not three.
You need to make up your mind.
Make [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_D_SKILL_MENUI_299b], and bring it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Darfen].
[%collectitem]To prove your expert abilities, craft Darfen's Plush Chair.
Darfen said she was impressed by your fated talent, and she suggested you try the first part of the Expert test.
When you crafted Darfen's Plush Chair, she was pleased by its excellent quality.
