So, Recruit [%username], you think you're pretty hot stuff, don't you? Well, you ain't worth Brax spit!

Not yet, anyway. But I see something in you... a very tiny, miniscule, mote of potential.

You might, MIGHT, have what it takes to become a Construction Expert.

"Thanks... I guess."

You'll take my compliments and like them, soldier! Now, you need to make [%dic:STR_DIC_E_QUEST_SKILL_MENUI_299b].

It's my design, so I'll KNOW if you screw it up! Skilled artisans should be able to make it, so YOU'LL find it a challenge!

Remember, you can only be an Expert in two crafting disciplines, so you'll have to cancel any other Expert test you're taking. You ready, you mewling kitten?

Accept. Decline.

Then buy the design from [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Lurine], double-time! You can buy a direct design or try to work from an inferior design.

The inferior design takes less material to make, but you'll have to invest more skill and luck. Don't ask me what to do; make your own choice!

Just show me [%dic:STR_DIC_E_QUEST_SKILL_MENUI_299b] when you're done. Do NOT keep me waiting, or I'll assign you sawdust sweeping for the next CENTURY!

"What on Atreia did I get myself into?"

I knew it! You're nothing but a Trog-faced, Shadetouched, Azphel-loving piece of garbage!!

Do you know what other crafting discipline comes close to the artistry and complexity of Construction? NONE, that's what!!

I'd say I was disappointed, but I knew from the start you'd be a Qooqoo when the chips were down. Get out of my sight! You disgust me.

"... whoa."

So! You say you've made [%dic:STR_DIC_E_QUEST_SKILL_MENUI_299b] already, do you?

You wouldn't be lying, would you, kid? Because you know what I do to liars? I rip off their HEADS, then I take the neck hole, and...

"No no! Here it is!"

Do you think I'm BLIND, newbie? Do you?! I have NEVER been so INSULTED in my life! And I've been insulted by the best.

This is just the first step! If you can't pass it, then you're wasting my time. And wasting my time makes me ANGRY!

You think I've been mad before? Shards, I've been freaking CALM all this time! Do NOT push me! Now make that chair, and make it RIGHT!

"Y-yes, sir!"

Incredible! You actually did a halfway decent job with this. It's almost mediocre!

Your conception didn't insult my design, which is more than I can say for most of your peers.

Well, [%username], you've passed this step. But don't get a swelled head! It ain't over, yet!

Are you DEAF, lowlife?! I told you that you can't take two Expert tests at the same time!

Either give up the one you're taking now or this one!

But you want me to tell you what I'll do to you if you choose to give up this one?

"No, I'm fine! Really!"

Craft [%dic:STR_DIC_E_QUEST_SKILL_MENUI_299b], and show it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Undin].

[%collectitem]

Craft Undin's Plush Chair, and show it to Undin.

Undin apparently thinks you can become a Construction Expert, and he gave you a test to prove your skill.

You crafted the Undin's Plush Chair. When he saw the result, Undin found it mediocre, which is high praise for him.
