===Kinich===
;(Talk to Kinich near the Twist 'n' Spin 'n' Zig 'n' Zag challenge)Does not appear if has not been completed.
:Kinich: A courier told me that our combat readiness liaison found an excellent certification officer.
:Kinich: Turns out that it's you. An encouraging sign.
:Ajaw: Tsk, so they've even gone to YOU, of all people? Hey, Kinich, looks like freaks of a feather do flock together — this commission-freak never learned to say no either!
:Kinich: Oh, look. A new commission notification — "to shut a noisy dragon up."
: Oh, that? I just posted it.
::Ajaw: You... You... So that's how it's gonna be, huh? Ganging up on the Almighty Dragonlord... Just you wait!
: Oh, don't worry, you can handle that one later.
::Ajaw: Hmph! Do you think such paltry flattery means that the Almighty Dragonlord will owe you one or something?
:Kinich: Anyway, back on topic, . We'd like your help certifying these stages. Their difficulty and balance should be up to par.
:Ajaw: Difficulty? Where? Pfft! Don't be ridiculous.
:Kinich: And what would you consider difficult? "Have them randomly pick some halfwit partner before rappelling down a mountain blindfolded"?
:Kinich: And perhaps you'd also make it so that they'd only have a ten-percent chance of getting a Yumkasaur buddy, with their other options being Avatars of Lava or Geo Slimes?
: That's practically begging for death.
::Ajaw: Hah, haven't you been tagging along with my little lackey long enough to know that that's just what the Scions of the Canopy love doing? My suggestion's perfect for them.
::Kinich: Perhaps you'd like to give us a demonstration, then?
: Oooh, now we're really talking...
::Ajaw: Hark! Hark! Now here's a person of refined tastes — way better than yours, at least!
:: But I'd love to watch Ajaw show us how a pro does it first.
::Kinich: I second that motion, Ajaw. You are much more agile than the average challenger. And even if a monster gets lucky and lands a hit, not like you'll get smacked straight into an Ajaw-shaped hole in the ground, right?
:Ajaw: ...Such trivial challenges are far beneath the Almighty Dragonlord's dignity. Just amuse yourselves however you please, peons!
:Kinich: In any case, Irade offered me a good rate. Here's to you finding enjoyment in the challenge — and receiving satisfactory payment.
: I'm looking forward to it!
: Leave it to me, Kinich!
:Kinich: I wish you well.
===Xilonen===
;(Talk to Xilonen near the Indomitable Diamond-Breaking Will challenge)
:Xilonen: Phew... The weather sure is nice. This trip out was well worth it.
:Xilonen: Hmm? Do my eyes deceive me, or do I spy our ""?
: What a coincidence, Xilonen.
: I took Irade's commission.
:
:Xilonen: Ah, I see... I almost forgot. I did lend her a hand earlier. In fact, our tribe's stage is nearby.
:Xilonen: At first, she only got the "Calamity of Tetlahuitl," Nkunga, and the "Sand Dagger of Seit'aad," Amuru, to help her out.
:Xilonen: But those two aren't big on "mobility," preferring head-on clashes, so the resulting feedback was skewed.
:Xilonen: First thing Pacal did after hearing that was to ask me to give some suggestions.
: So the current stage is your work, then?
::Xilonen: More or less. Pacal, Irade, and I made a few minor modifications after some discussion.
::Xilonen: Now, the stages are more about getting yourself to advantageous ground quick and managing a shifting fulcrum in the heat of battle.
: You... really make just about everything, don't you...
::Xilonen: Eh, it's just a few simple devices. They weren't that hard to build.
::Xilonen: A one-time effort on my part for a continuous pipeline of stronger warriors for our tribe? That's a good deal — especially since I can use that extra free time to work through my commission backlog...
: Allow me to accept your trial, then!
: Let's hope you didn't make this too difficult...
:Xilonen: Please, everyone in Natlan has witnessed your strength. I doubt there's a challenge out there that could trip you up.
:Xilonen: Anyway, the stage is over there. Go try it out if you're interested.
===Chasca===
;(Talk to Chasca near the Ascend, Seek, Destroy challenge)
:Chasca: No wonder I had a nagging feeling that I should come over and have a look... Well met, "."
:Chasca: Let me guess. You're here for the Flower-Feather Clan's warrior trial?
: That's right. I'm here to certify its difficulty!
::Chasca: You won't be disappointed, then. I've got nothing but the highest standards for Qucusaur Riders.
::Chasca: Teaching's not my strong suit, so when I was invited to design these stages, I went with "recalling tough challenges and piling them in one after the other."
: I could've come for you, for all you know.
::Chasca: Oh? That so...
::Chasca: So you wanna "transcend" my record, then? That's just my speed. I'll have you know that I started by stuffing these stages full of tough challenges that I've faced in the past.
:Chasca: The result was... a ninety-nine percent failure rate on the part of our tribe's warriors — on the first stage, no less. As a result... There wasn't any choice but to take Irade's advice and tune the difficulty down a notch.
:Chasca: But I doubt that even the trials as they originally stood would have truly stretched you. If we wanted that... We'd have to go with situations even I would prove helpless in.
: Thanks for the kind words, but I don't need special treatment!
: Haha, don't put me on a pedestal, now!
:Chasca: No, I do believe you worthy of such respect. I'm no teacher, but I've never misjudged the strength of those I meet.
:Chasca: And as far as yours is concerned... only the most trying of challenges would befit you.
: I need to consider the stages' suitability for ordinary warriors, though...
: The universality of the stages is not to be overlooked either!
:Chasca: ...Fair enough. You've got a task to complete, and we'll have more opportunities in the future.
:Chasca: One day, I'll lay out a banquet table of battle that "transcends" the pinnacle of Qucusaur Rider ability, just for you.
