Ripple Amulet

Ripple Amulets... I've heard that they're made around here...

They're not sold at the blacksmith, and I don't see any other shops that would sell them. Hmm...

Hey, there. You seem troubled about something.

Huh?

If it isn't Nero! What are you doing here?

Oh, you're Aldo, right? I guess I was gazing at the sea just now...

I heard a groan you wouldn't expect to hear in such a beautiful port town and was wondering what it could be.

Haha... Was it really that bad?

So what exactly is it that's bothering you?

The truth is that I came here looking for an item called the Ripple Amulet, but I've had trouble learning anything about it.

And...who might you be?

A martial artist of unparalleled fists and skill. I'm passionate about both the strong and the beautiful.

I was admiring the view from the port here in Rinde when I heard an uncharacteristic groan that piqued my interest.

I-I see... Sorry if I broke your concentration.

The truth is that I came here looking for an item called the Ripple Amulet, but I've had trouble learning anything about it.

Ripple Amulets... You mean the necklaces created to keep the fishermen safe when out at sea?

Yes! That's what I'm looking for!

It is a rare item beautiful not only in appearance but also in the wishes contained in the amulet itself.

I know how they're made, so if you get the materials, I'll make you one.

Really?! What do you need?

Items used at the water's edge to pray that you'll return like a wave to the shore. For example, shells or scales... I think you should ask fishermen where to get them.

Are you in need of another Ripple Amulet? I'll make you one if you bring me the materials.

So how would one go about getting these Ripple Amulet materials? I heard that shells and scales are used to make them...

Shells are definitely used the most! The Serena Coast... You can often find them there where the view is good.

But scales are sometimes used, too. You can find some beautiful scales along the riverbank.

There are a lot of monsters there, though, so you'd be putting your life on the line...

I see... Shells and scales from the Serena Coast. Though scales are more dangerous to obtain.

All you need is a string and the main materials to make them!

You can use the string near the lighthouse as you please.

That'll help! Thanks. I'll head to the lighthouse first then.

I wonder if this is the string I can use. It's thin, so it should work fine.

All right, next stop is the Serena Coast for the main material... Either a shell or a scale will do.

So shells are found at places with a view while scales are found along the riverbank. There are monsters near the riverbank, but maybe harder work means a better amulet...?

Right. Shells are found at places with a view while scales are found along the riverbank.

Well, then. Time to search for some amulet materials...

I thought I could find some beautiful scales around here... But I don't see anything that fits the bill.

All right! I guess I'll try going down a little lower.

That monster's scales are really shiny!

I might get a good scale if I defeat it!

Nah, I think I'll look elsewhere.

The scale it dropped is more beautiful than I imagined it'd be!

Now I can have him make me an amulet! Time to head back to Rinde.

A location with a view... This must be the place.

Right. Shells are found at places with a view while scales are found along the riverbank.

Well, then. Time to search for some amulet materials...

This looks like the perfect place to find shells for an amulet...

All right! Found one!

And it's the perfect size, too.

Now I can have him make me an amulet! Time to head back to Rinde.

Nah, I think I'll look elsewhere.

Right. Shells are found at places with a view while scales are found along the riverbank.

Well, then. Time to search for some amulet materials...

Shells or scales... I wonder which I'll find.

It looks like there's nothing here.

Let's search again at a place with a view or along the riverbank.

Nah, I think I'll look elsewhere.

Here, I got the materials for the amulet.

What a beautiful scale! It appears that you have an eye for real beauty.

And if that's the case, I'll have to make an especially beautiful amulet for you.

Here, take it.

So, this is a Ripple Amulet... It's really shiny and beautiful!

Thanks for making it for me!

Come back whenever you're in a bind. I love all beauty. Bring me something beautiful, and I'll make another one for you.

Here, I got the materials for the amulet.

Color and form... I love both. Not a bad shell at all. And this string will do as well. All right. I'll make an amulet for you.

It turned out well. Here, take it.

So, this is a Ripple Amulet... It sure is pretty.

Thanks for making it for me!

Come back whenever you're in a bind. I love all beauty. Bring me something beautiful, and I'll make another one for you.
