Make Words Sing (2/3)

Make Words Sing is a side quest in Luciola Forest. It is the second quest in a three-part quest chain.

The quest chain:

1. Make Ink Sing (1/3)
2. **Make Words Sing (2/3)**
3. Make Attacks Sing (3/3)

## Unlocks

It is unlocked by the Luciola Forest side quest: Make Ink Sing (1/3)

It unlocks the Luciola Forest side quest: Make Attacks Sing (3/3)

    x15 Poison
    x10 Claws
    x10 Dust |     x5 Leafsung Ink
And the ability to craft Leafsung Ink

## Quest Tactics

Getting closer! One more quest to unlock the ability to craft Leafsung Ink! And while you're writing 5K words anyway, combine this with another 5K word quest, such as the Daily Short Story quest available in the Global quests.

The best source of Essence in Luciola Forest is Kai. If you have access to the Elder Library, Paper Wignows are a better source.

Poison can be found in Wooden Chests in Luciola Forest. The best source in Luciola Forest is Aracni. Late in the game, Oncara is also a good source.

The best source for Claws in Luciola Forest is the Grey's Mawt. But if you wait until Mama Tree, Tylu is a better option that has no requirements. Much later, the Fools' Tylu is a good source too.

## Lore

Singing ink has been successfully made, but Kyiat informed me that there's more than just the right balance of elements in the ink. I need to have the right words too. For example, if I wrote "felicitous" then there would some attraction to Luck, but by adding "kintsukuroi" it would be having Luck to fix what has been broken. She laughed, and told me that writing words wouldn't give me the understanding of fortuitous aptness or to treat repair as a natural part of an object's history. Then she said I'm going to need a bigger container (for my ink).
Olanat

Olanat is a monster in the Cave, unlocked after Cave main quest 3: Sharpening Stubborn Stones.

## Lore

The cave might look as if it's cut off from the rest of the world, but there are bones in here to prove that others like me have made their way to this dark, damp, and dismal area. Olanat, for example, looks to be an older being... possibly one that I'd never seen before, judging by the mushrooms on the back of their body. Olanat kept using its other hand to pick up the remains of a shattered sword and I squinted, trying to make out features in the dark. Above its jaw... are there mushrooms feasting on its bones?!

## Quests

* Cave main quest: Discuss with Shadow (3)
* Cave side quest: Fighting Fallen Soldiers (1/2) (10)
* Cave side quest: Fighting Fallen Soldiers (2/2) (20)

Mushroom Mushroom!

Mushroom Mushroom! is a side quest in Caretaker's Garden.

This quest first appeared during the Caretaker's Garden NaNo Event. If you completed it then, it will not appear in the Caretaker's Garden Expedition area. If you picked the quest up, but did not complete it, the objectives changed when the Garden was integrated into the main game.

## Objectives and Rewards

   3x Ofefof |     Mushroom Head Horns (wardrobe)

During the Garden event, it only required 2 of each creature

### Reward

This quest has a wardrobe reward.

*Historical*
 No Variations

## Sequence

It is unlocked by Caretaker's Garden side quest: By the Roots! (1/2).

    1x Corrupted Zaroen
    1x Corrupted Fabegol
    1x Corrupted Betula |     1x Corrupted Ihatsa
    1x Corrupted Kinnya
    1x Corrupted Caretaker |     Corrupted Hatchet (wardrobe)

Mushroom Mushroom! unlocks nothing.

## Lore

Planting mushrooms, oddly, is not always about planting mushrooms. Why? Because I need to chase Goele down and shake them off to collect them, and by the time I can catch the creature, an Ofefof swoops down to nibble the freshly gathered fungi. I'm going to have to fight at few of each for completely different reasons. Yay?
Osaril

Osaril is a creature found in Riza Rivertown.

## Lore

If you're fishing or traveling the banks in Riza, look out above you for Osaril. They'll dive after your Patliadu to try to run you away fro their nests along the river. Those elongated beaks can hold an entire barrel’s worth of liquid, or up to three unlucky Patliadu (and one very unlucky person's fishing pole). While the giant fish are their main source of nourishment, they're known to eat anything with meat on its bones, such as young, injured, or stupid Jaihri. They have a horrible old fish smell to them, and their cries sound like someone being murdered.

Miomur

Miomur was a monster available during the 2022 Airship Expedition.

## Lore

The workshop is always a busy place, but to be honest, I wasn't sure if right next to the river was the best place to build it. Wouldn't things be lost in the waters? Skuppa must have thought the same since he created Miomur, a scrap metal feline ready to plunge the depths to recover any items that have escaped. From what I can tell, its eyes glow even brighter underwater and it uses a tail to fend off attacks from too-curious Jaihri. Once it has the object it was chasing, it'll climb up the pier posts and drop it.

## Quests

* Airship Expedition quest: Stick Some Gears (9)
Message in a Spirit (3/4)

Message in a Spirit (3/4) is a side quest in Dark Forest Outpost. It is the third of a four-part quest chain:

1. Step Into The Deadlands (1/4)
2. Hounding the Dead (2/4)
3. **Message in a Spirit (3/4)**
4. Flutters Shy & High (4/4)

## Sequence

It is unlocked by Dark Forest Outpost side quest: Hounding the Dead (2/4)

Message in a Spirit (3/4) unlocks the Outpost side quest: Flutters Shy & High (4/4).

## Lore

A Lorsini... not in my wildest dreams have I ever imagined...!! They were messengers for the Elders before Dust swept through the regions, rare, legendary creatures that could cross the entire land in a single flight. I'll probably have to travel to their original nesting grounds, found at the Westernmost fringes of the Valley, to find and fight their spirits.
Nedi

Nedi is an alien available at the Impact Crater.

They first appeared during the 2020 Meteoroid Expedition, at the Impact Crater (2020 Edition), and were unlocked when the Spaceship arrived.

## Lore

I approached a being frantically scanning documents that looked too clean to be parchment, and they introduced themselves (in an absent-minded way) as Nedi. They were trying to find information on how Heliodae had brought their wing patterns into Dust Warrior fashion. Amused, I answered that the creatures hadn't done anything; Raina had gifted Warriors with a pattern they had thought pleasing to the eye. They paused. Muttered "Raina" to themselves, and suddenly wailed that anthropology school hadn't taught how to study two different cultures at the same time. I'm tempted to mention the Sibawense... "Always raw: recording and wondering."

## Quests

* Spaceship quest: An Alien Exam (Part 1 of 2) (1)
* Spaceship quest: Studying Space Scientists (Part 2 of 2) (2)
* Spaceship quest: Sparks to Ignite (3/3) (10)

### Historical Quests

* Meteoroid Expedition quest: An Alien Exam (Part 1 of 2) (1)
* Meteoroid Expedition quest: Studying Space Scientists (Part 2 of 2) (2)

If you've already finished "An Alien Exam" and "Studying Space Scientists," they will not be available again.

## Location

During the 2020 Meteoroid Expedition, Nedi was available at the Impact Crater (2020 Edition).
Nikaji

Nikaji is a Co-Op Monster, meaning that rather than requiring a certain number of words to complete, the Dust Warrior must battle with fellow warriors to defeat them. There are different word and time requirements depending on the difficulty level chosen.

## Lore

Awakening when the weather grows frosty, Nikaji slowly savors the biting wind as she walks from the deepest cavern recess and journeys to the world above, causing snowstorms and ice with uncontrollable magic each time her horn naturally sheds. While some monsters used to powdered snow and light flurries are scared of her, monsters which enjoy white-outs, snow squalls, and heavy winter blasts love when she appears. She, too, loves the darker side of winter, that cozy feeling of being the only one in a glittering world of snow, encased in a night sky of shimmering stars and pale colors.

## Requirements

When choosing options for the battle, there are four Difficulty settings, which will affect the number of words each player needs to write, and the time the group has to complete the battle. The total word count needed to win is multiplied by how many players are participating.

     Medium
     Hard
      Extreme

## Drops

 65 XP

As a baseline, Nikaji drops the above, but can multiply baseline rewards depending on difficulty and Luck. See the Co-Op Drop Table for more information.

## Quests

* Winter Wonderland 2023 multiplayer quest: Sweet Ice Screams (8)
Make It Work!

Make It Work! is a side quest in Luciola Forest. It is the first quest in a two-part quest chain.

The quest chain:

1. **Make it Work!**
2. Style Is Eternal

## Objectives and Rewards

   5x Feathers |     1x Wooden Key
    1x Leaves Coffee Table (House item)

## Unlocks

This quest is available at the start of the game.

This unlocks the Luciola Forest side quest: Style Is Eternal.

    Unlocked by Make It Work
    10x Tiny Wings

## Quest Tactics

It's up to you how quickly you do this. Do you like fighting Nitana? Are you interested in Keys? Go ahead! (And completing this quest opens the possibility of more Keys from other quests!) Otherwise, there are other possibilities.

Reenu are the best scource for Tiny Wings in Luciola Forest. If you do this quest (much) later, Poly Reenu and Belasi drop reenu wings at the same rate.

Nitana is the best scource for Feathers in Luciola Forest. If you wait, Rif and Rhamp are also good scources.

## Lore

Marai approached me about adding accessories to the clothing she sells, saying that she thinks the additions would entice people and beings into buying more from her. The two things she needs me to collect are to add lacework patterns to the sleeves of her shirts and pants, along with feathers that can be sewn into collars and at the hemlines. I think she's right, and the splashes of color would be great to see around Town, so I'm getting ready to head off into the wilderness to gather what she needs. I wonder where she got the idea from?
Nitana

Nitana is a creature available in Luciola Forest.

The Nitana's word count used to be 700, and was decreased to 300 in early October 2023, and the time was similarly decreased from 130 to 30 minutes. In addition, their XP and drops were slightly altered.

## Lore

### New Lore

I caught the sound of clashing swords, but when I followed it to an open clearing, I found only two verdant birds wheeling and dueling in the sky. Two long-beaked Nitanna were each slashing at the other with their wing edges. A feather floated to my feet and picked it up, hissing in pain as the steel quill cut my finger. Suddenly, one let out a loud croaking noise, and flew off, hiding in the trees. Both the bird and I looked, but neither one of us could find it, and in the end, I was more disappointed than it.

### Historical Lore

Known as the flying swords these monsters rule the skies around Luciola Forest. Their slender bodies allow them to camouflage with their surroundings when they bend their bodies in the right angle. They attack their prey by slicing them with their razor sharp wings repeatedly.

## Drops

Before early October 2023, Nitana dropped 2-3 Leaves, 1-2 Tiny Wings and 2-3 Feathers, as well as 70 XP.

## Quests

* Global timed, repeatable quest: Flying Friends (6)
* Luciola Forest side quest: Luciola Forest Creatures (1/2) (1)

* Hunt 2022 quest: Following the Birds (2/5) (8)

## Variants

**Pride Nitana**
700 words/130 minutes
Pride Festivals
Motes

Motes runs the shops in the Shrine of Ages. Unlike the other battles available in the Shrine of Ages, he is visible without a Shrine Bracelet.

## Lore

From Gansu Watering Hole, Motes was a Stempo studier, trying to uncover the secrets of exactly how time magic is applied to different environments (so far he's found that 1 Stempo is enough for most future days, but 2 Stempos are needed for the past). Much older than he looks (there are whispers that he hasn't aged in decades), he met Velts when she saved him from a Wetu, and they've since kept in contact by Lorsa. Velts asked for help with the Shrine and Motes agreed, taking on the role of Shrine Keeper, taming time, and continuing his studies.

## Quests

* Shrine of Ages quest: Keeper of the Shrine (1/3) (1)
* Shrine of Ages quest: Helper of the Shrine (2/3) (2)
* Shrine of Ages quest: Guardian of the Shrine (3/3) (3)
Ooze Dungeon

The Ooze Dungeon was an event area that was part of the 2018 Carnival.

Smaller Ooze monsters (50 - 500 words) have slupped (that’s the sound of Oozes oozing oozily together, right?) in the Ooze Dungeon Wilderness. This is also the Town where all Ooze related Quests can be picked up.

    3x Crilum

Map Pieces

Map Pieces are items that are part of the Hunt for the Ancients.

Each map piece is obtained by completing a specific hunt quest. Each map piece is used in two hunt quests. In the first of these, the objective is the have the map piece, and it is not removed from your inventory. The second quest (Still Something Missing) requires you to give all map pieces 1-11. They are then removed from your inventory.

## Lore

Tattered, with scrawled ink illegible, you can at least confirm this is a map piece.

## Final Quest Confusion

The quest "Still Something Missing" says, "We have all 12 map pieces." However, you will only have 11 map pieces in your inventory. You are not missing anything. You may remember that back at the very beginning of the hunt, Velts already had a map piece in her possession. That is the 12th piece.
Nezthai

Nezthai is a creature available at the Forward Base. It was originally part of the 2019 Forest Expedition event, and returned when the forest expedition areas were reopened permanently.

Nezthai is the main source of Nezthai claws, which are necessary to fight Buholi and Buhovi. They used to be needed to fight Buhini, until the Festival of Oge Mai when the requirement was replaced with a Buhini Flute.

Nezthai was part of the Festival of Oge Mai, appearing in the Forest Area Meeting Ground.

## Lore

Quick. Sharp. And very, very smart. That was my impression when I saw a Nezthai skitter under cover from me. Its hooked claws were almost as long as its body, longer if I didn't count those slender legs, and there was a ruff of... fur around its neck? Fur or not, that protected an otherwise vulnerable area. Defense against Buhostra sprung to mind. That ruff would block jawed attacks quite well, but those claws might not be able to stab into the Nezthai's hardened shell. Seeing those two in battle would be amazing, and might even give a Warrior ideas.

EDITOR NOTE: Buhostra is not a recorded monster in the game; this may be a catch-all term for Buhini, Buholi, and Buhovi.

## Drops

During the Festival of Oge Mai, Nezthai also dropped Festival of Oge Mai Tokens.

During the Forest Expedition, Nezthai also dropped Expedition Tokens.

## Quest

* Base Camp side quest: Nabia's Exploration (1)
* Forward Base side quest: Bounty from Dalse (10)
* Dark Forest Outpost: Familiar Family Friends (5)
* Hunt 2021 Season of Hope quest: Velts' Relaxation Method (1)

### Historical Quests

* Festival of Oge Mai quest: Bounty from Dalse (8)

* Forest Expedition quest: To Starve a Predator (10)

If you completed Bounty from Dalse during the Festival of Oge Mai, it will not be available in Forward Base.

## Locations

During the Festival of Oge Mai, Nezthai was also found at the Forest Region Meeting Ground.

During the Forest Expedition, Nezthai was found at Base Camp (Event Edition).

## Variants

**Athzein**
200 words/30 minutes
Raina Sacred Site
**Teaco Nezthai**
600 words/90 minutes
Teaco Festivals
**Zanthei**
400 words/35 minutes
Dark Forest Outpost

Zanthei has its own variants: Zanthei Hologram and Zanutaki.
Mahor

Mahor is a marionette creature that first appeared during the 2018 Carnival event. They can now be found in the Shrine of Ages with the use of the Carnival Time Bracelet.

## Lore

I bumped into a new Untu, one with a mint-green beard. Miniature sunflowers were tucked in it, and they had two crooked horns on either side of a pale, neon mohawk. Mahor graciously extended a flower head to me, but then hesitated, and also offered the stems clutched in their left hand. They then explained that both of the items made good offerings. The flower head was for perception, to see the good in all things, and to accept imperfection. The stems were for endurance, the strength to hold up heavy burdens, and to continue to fight the good fight.

## Drops

During the Carnival, they dropped Carnival Tokens, Confetti, Piñatas, and Carnival Chests.

## Quests

* Shrine of Ages Carnival Time Bracelet quest: A Carnival Festival (1)
* Shrine of Ages Carnival Time Bracelet quest: Peace and Sunflowers (2)

### Historical Quests

* Carnival quest: Family Picture (1)
* Carnival quest: Colorful Carnival Untu (1)
* Carnival quest: Best of Five (5)

Love Week 2017

Love Week was a celebration of Love around the valley.

The event ran from February 10th-20th.

## Lore

Around this time of year Wignows have a higher chance of falling wildly, deeply, madly in love. When this happens, their essence and leaves turn a bright red. In their core a rose begins to grow, a gift they will leave for their loved one. Defeat these Wignows, collect 15 of the Red Roses they drop, and earn a Rose Crown ticket with the **"Love Week" Quest** in Luciola Forest. Visit Alex's Shop right there in Luciola Forest and use the ticket to craft a Rose Crown for your Avatar Wardrobe:

## Quests

    1x Aracnu |     2x Stempo
    Unlocks Mama Tree
Mama Tree Background

Nicely Micely unlocks nothing.

## Lore

The cats have slept the day away and there's probably 100 Yusi jumping around in joy! I'll have to figure out how to sweep them out of here and away from where Strewogs might find and "play" with them. Afterwards, I'll reward myself with a plushie of this adventure, since that's way better on my bed than the real creature.
Magic is Power (1/2)

Magic is Power (1/2) is a quest in the Shrine of Ages. It is available with the Magic Bracelet. It is the first of a two-part quest chain:

1. **Magic is Power (1/2)**
2. Magic is Power (2/2)

   1x Shari of Sand
   1x Kyiat
    1x Wynfri of Water
    1x Dessti of Dust

## Sequence

    4x Kyiat
    4x Wynfri of Water
    4x Dessti of Dust
    4x Blacksmith Barliar |      Shaman Hands (Wardrobe item)

## Quest Tactics

These are all new monsters to battle, so none of them will be in your bestiary. If you're here to catch them all, this is the quest for you.

## Lore

I've moved through the Valley, learning how to fight almost everything, and I've seen many different fighting types. Big and strong, small and fast, poisonous, camouflaged, by air, under ground, etc. Still, it wasn't until I met magic possessing beings in battle that I understood that magic holds power. One word, one gaze... I still have so much to learn!
No Nests Allowed!

No Nests Allowed! is a Hunt for the Ancients side quest. It first appeared in the 2021 Season of Growth in early August. It can be picked up in the Elder Library.

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the hunt quest: A Bubble Dream

No Nests Allowed! unlocks nothing.

## Lore

Luko sent a message my way, politely asking for me to come by the Inn when I can. Why? Apparently, it won't be for a drink, but to remove the infected Osaril which are damaging the roof and letting in leaks of Dust. I'm afraid to wonder what Luko's Dí would taste like if Dust managed to get inside it.
Oorie

Oorie is a creature found in Nivali Camp. It appears after completing Nivali Camp main quest 7: Recovering a Key Piece.

## Lore

Traveling around the mountains, I thought most of my worries would be about the cold, thin ice, or passes overfilled with snow. At the moment, though, I've changed my mind. Snowballs can be added to my list, especially the ones thrown by Oorie. The little monster has great aim and is ambidextrous; when I finally saw it, I could easily make out that it was using both hands to rapidly attack its chosen victims. The bad thing is that I've been lulled into so many friendly snowball fights with other Dust Warriors, I'm not really taking these attacks very seriously.

## Quests

* Nivali Camp main quest 8: New Winter Friends (6)
* Nivali Camp side quest: The Perfect Ice! (10)
* Nivali Camp side quest: Ice, Ice, Baby (3)
Our Valley Leaders

Our Valley Leaders is a quest in the Shrine of Ages. It is available with the Leaders Time Bracelet.

## Objectives and Rewards

   1x King Wilipo
    1x Etta
    1x Suwö
    1x Tesven
    1x Bavata
    1x Governor |     Bavata Hair (Wardrobe item)

### Wardrobe Reward

 No Variations

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the Ruins quest: Tunnel Locked On.

    x3 Kapir Tuft
    x3 Poison

Our Valley Leaders unlocks nothing.

## Lore

The Valley's leaders are a group of tough beings. Each of them like to impart lessons to any attentive Dust Warrior, and being together has only made them eager to have the "best" and "most needed" piece of information. Honestly, fighting all of them is going to teach me a lot, so I'm not too worried about forgetting a lesson.
One of Us!

One of Us! is a side quest in Luciola Forest. It is available at the start of the game.

## Unlocks

This quest is available at the start of the game.

This quest unlocks nothing.

## Quest Tactics

In 4theWords, the forum is the next to the bottom blue icon on the left side bar. If you don't know what to say and have no questions to ask, post in the daily wins or daily struggles threads, or in the "I don't want to socialize but I need to post in the forums for a quest" post.

Go for it and complete it immediately! The Introductions section of the Forum is just for you. 4 Core Crystals don't buy much by themselves, but they're nice to have, and it's nice to introduce yourself to the community. (But no, you won't be able to earn enough Core Crystals for more than one month's subscription by playing, and that one month's worth will be a long time coming. It's probably better to spend on wardrobe.)

## Lore

I've been fighting by myself for a while now, out in this wilderness, but I swear I can hear others talking nearby. I've only been able to catch snippets of conversation, but it's gone from answering questions and how everyone finds their creativity to friendly hellos and shouts of encouragement. I have to admit, the advice I overheard was very helpful - and it's good to know that I'm not the only one who forgets things. I wonder what would happen if I introduced myself in the Forum? Maybe I'll find a great group of online friends to share my journey with and earn a shiny forum badge for it!
Miclan's Castle Meanders (3/3)

Miclan's Castle Meanders (3/3) is a side quest in Dusted Castle. It is the third and final quest of a three-part quest chain:

1. Miclan's Castle Meanders (1/3)
2. Miclan's Castle Meanders (2/3)
3. **Miclan's Castle Meanders (3/3)**

    15x Raw Fabric |     12x Wignow
    26x Loi
    31x Ardia
    8x Reenu |     Babu Doggy Bed (house item)

### Reward

This quest has a house reward.

 Small: 3x4 squares
 All variants available flipped

    5x Mayitor
    17x Kirerf |     8x Koaim
    5x Mique

Miclan's Castle Meanders (3/3) unlocks nothing.

## Lore

The Castle's in much better shape than when we left, but I'm not sure if it's what I would call livable. Or home. However, Miclan and Babu have stayed to chase creatures while I start collecting clean materials. Weirdly, they've asked me to defeat infected creatures from specific areas, Miclan saying something about atmospheres attracting younger spirits to the Castle.

## Lore

While talking with Miclan, he had the realization that instead of living with his husband in the Dark Forest, the two of them (three with Babu) could move into the Castle! I think it's a great idea, seeing as many beings wouldn't like living there permanently. That means heading back clean the Castle and help Miclan pick out a room.

## Sequence

(Wardrobe)

## Lore

Far out in the southern desert, where the expedition area created the Dragon Lair, there are nests of tiny Loi waiting to become ferocious Lombri. I've heard rumors that the Seven Moon Clan is looking to make more Infected Lombri for their warriors, so I'm going to scout ahead and see if their Dust craze can be eliminated before they're taken.
Otpar

Otpar is a creature that can be found in the Shrine of Ages with the Colorful Ooze Bracelet. It first appeared during the July Camp 2018 event.

Lorsa Fur

Lorsa Fur is a craft material item dropped by the Lorsa.

## Lore

Like the mane of a Tambo, Lorsa fur is used in clothing to protect against exposure to the dust. The Lorsa fur offers a stronger protection because of the high density of dust it must fight off in higher altitudes. Because of this, and because a single Lorsa provides less fur than a Tambo, Lorsa fur is more expensive and usually worn by the higher class.

The event ran from August 24th 2023, noon EDT, until August 30th, 16:44 EDT. Unlike with previous opening celebrations, the area itself only open towards the end of the event, on August 29th.

The event included a globally available creature from the new area, quests, and a single token and crystal store.

* August 26th: Additional information about the new island, Winter's Island, has been revealed.
* August 29th: The first area of Winter's Island, Nivali Camp, officially opened, along with a new store where items could be purchased with crystals.
* August 30th: The event came to an end. The Nivali Store remained open, and wasn't removed from the event page until Teaco Festival 2023.

## Lore

### August 24th

As the first airships prepared to leave the Valley toward the new world, strange lights began to form in the sky.

First dim, almost invisible to see, but then sharper and stronger.

Kultalva, flying above the Mama Tree canopy, was the first to notice that the lights were caused by tiny creatures they called Poa.

The Poa seemed to have followed the aliens all the way to the Valley from their home island. The Dust in the air has caused the Poa to become aggressive. All Dust Warriors are called to catch them before they cause any harm.

## Monsters

The event included a single fightable creature.

**Poa**

Make Ink Sing (1/3)

Make Ink Sing is a side quest in Luciola Forest. It is unlocked after Luciola Forest main quest 2: Battle Practice. Make Ink Sing is the first quest in a 3-part quest chain.

The quest chain:

1. **Make Ink Sing (1/3)**
2. Make Words Sing (2/3)
3. Make Attacks Sing (3/3)

## Unlocks

Make Ink Sing is unlocked by Luciola Forest main quest 2: Battle Practice

Make Ink Sing unlocks Make Words Sing (2/3).

## Quest Tactics

This actually isn't very useful in and of itself, but it unlocks a very valuable ability eventually, so you might as well get it out of the way early. (Well, very valuable if you're attached to completing sidequests.)

The best source of Essence in Luciola Forest is Kai. If you have access to the Elder Library, Paper Wignows are a better source.

Poison can be found in Wooden Chests in Luciola Forest. The best source in Luciola Forest is Aracni. Late in the game, Oncara is also a good source.

You will later need Leafsung Ink in a few large side quests, and in crafting boots. This quest chain ends in being able to craft your own Leafsung Ink.

## Lore

Kyiat approached me and asked if I wanted to learn the secret of her ink. Of course, I immediately said yes. I've seen that ink in action before, poured into a pattern that made a simple sword into one that was luckier than it had previously been. She smirked, as if she'd known what my answer was going to be all along, and snapped at me to hurry up and get some Essence and Spider Poison. I'm intrigued. Does this mean the poison itself burns the pattern into the wood? Is it the Essence? Or a reaction from mixing both?
Luciola Puna (Quest)

Luciola Puna is a side quest in Luciola Forest. It is unlocked after Luciola Forest main quest 1: Luciola Forest Caretaker.

## Unlocks

It is unlocked by Luciola Forest main quest 1: Luciola Forest Caretaker.

It unlocks nothing.

## Lore

It looks like the Puna have returned to the Luciola Forest stream now that The Floating City of Balance has been being reunited with the Valley. Kyiat is especially excited for the Puna and has offered a reward of a Wooden Chest for a hunter who brings her 10 Puna.
Of Magic & Daggers

Of Magic & Daggers is a Hunt for the Ancients side quest. It first appeared in the 2021 Season of Growth in late September. It can be picked up in the Elder Library.

## Sequence

It is unlocked by the hunt quest: A Bubble Dream

Of Magic & Daggers unlocks nothing.

## Lore

The Rebel Hideout is a little hard to sneak around in because if the Wisthu don't catch you, the Drau might. Right now though, I'm a little worried about what the two of them are getting up. The color of Wisthu's potion is a little different than normal, and I don't like that a couple of Drau have been hanging around.
Malstra

Malstra is a creature in the Tempest Area. They were first available during the Sky Tournament.

## Lore

Tempest has twin strategists on the team, Malstra and Som. The one who's best with environmental traps is Malstra, the older brother. He creates "nightmare seeds," small orbs that affect people within a radius, bombarding minds and spirits alike with restless feelings. When the opposing team loses focus, that's when the rest of Tempest strikes! While the seeds themselves don't cause many injuries, they have a nasty area of effect that lasts for several minutes and can be used effectively to herd, trap, or cut off unsuspecting beings from supportive teammates. "Anger leads to mistakes; your mistakes are my win."

## Drops

During the Sky Tournament, Malstra dropped Sky Tokens, Hunter Tokens, and Essence.

## Quests

* Dawn Area quest: Conquor the Skies! (1)
* Tempest Area quest: Overthinking's The Strategy (6)
* Tempest Area quest: Staring into the Void (2)
* Tempest Area quest: Warrior vs. Tempest (1)
* Tempest Area quest: A Seedy Battle (4)

Lusas

Lusas was an alien available during the Distorted Signals Expedition event.

## Lore

Happiest among dirt and bones is Lusas. They've been looking over all the new findings, cataloging, and categorizing all the bones, fossils, and petrified remains they've found. One of their duties aboard the ship is to seek out old life and old civilizations, to boldly go and investigate often. From what I can tell, they take their duties very seriously. I asked if they had any advice for me, they said there's a piece of advice they quote fairly regularly. "A person might never know what they'll find, but if they don't put the work in, They'll certainly find nothing."

## Quests

* Distorted Signals Expedition quest: Rockin' the Research (1)
* Distorted Signals Expedition quest: A Rocky Hint (3)
Middling Middles & Mediums

Middling Middles & Mediums is a repeatable Co-Op quest in Multiplayer Battle Room. It is available as soon as the area is accessed.

## Objectives and Rewards

   Win 10 Co-Op battles with a medium difficulty or higher
    1x Leafsung Ink

### Reward

 Unknown

## Sequence

It was unlocked by the creation of the permanent Mama Tree Station Expedition area. Goldaem, a creature from the area, is required to complete the quest.

It unlocks nothing.

## Lore

I found a new quest in the co-op section, one that calls for monsters at a medium difficulty to be challenged when part of a group and a small group of Goldaem from Mama Tree's Station Raising Expedition area I can take on my own. This sounds like fun, and I can't wait to see who's gathering together and which monster they're going to attempt taking down. I wonder if anyone will try monsters with the higher word counts?
Night Dandeleon

The Night Dandeleon is the night version of the Dandeleon. It appears in the Guardian's Lair.

It used to be available only at "night", usually either 18:00-6:00 or 19:00-7:00 local time, but is now available at all times.

## Lore

Night falls pretty quickly in the Forest, and if I'm in any type of cave, then my sense of time runs away screaming. The Night Dandeleon is a natural clock though. Anyone can tell when the sun sets because the flowers on its back start glowing, enticing all the night insects to come and collect pollen (or drink nectar). They glow in the dark, a soft light that's steadier than I could have imagined. It also uses them as bait, shedding a few petals here and there to lead tougher creatures into a trap where the hunter becomes the prey.

## Quests

* Guardian's Lair side quest: Bright Night Blossoms (2/2) (5)
* City of Light side quest: Nights and Dandes (5)
North: Homeward Bound

## Quest Tactics

Ardi Lamps can only be crafted in Forward Base.

Ardi Lamps Require

## Lore

To the slightly higher north is Thoed's home (Nabia said he was the previous Guardian of the Forest). His daughter Etta has taken over the role of being Guardian, but his home still bears the name of Guardian's Lair. I wonder if anything, or anyone, is living in there now?
Oxraso

Oxraso is a creature found in the Underwater Foundations.

It was first available during the River Festival.

## Lore

As above, so below—or at least that was my first thought when chancing upon a Oxraso. The color-changing creature uses two small appendages to clutch things close and mostly employs the four longer tentacles to move items from one place to another. Oxraso gave me a seashell, then started "shuffling" several others shells nearby. A quick shove of river mud over the objects, and we began playing a game of... something, I'm not sure what. It was amusing to see natural orange morph to pink when I stuck a hand in the mud and uncovered a flat clam shell.

## Drops

During the River Festival, it dropped coins, xyplos ink, river water, river grass, river stone, Hunter Tokens, and River Festival Tokens.

## Quests

* Underwater Foundations quest: The Right Shell (3)
* Dusted Castle side quest: Lodo’s Water Quest (3/3) (7)

### Historical Quest

* River Festival quest: The Right Shell (2)

Note that if you completed "The Right Shell" during the River Festival, it will not appear in the Underwater Foundations.

## Location

During the River Festival, it was found in the Underwater Foundations (Festival Version).
Lótsachu

Lótsachu is a Co-Op Monster, meaning that rather than requiring a certain number of words to complete, the Dust Warrior must battle with fellow warriors to defeat them. There are different word and time requirements depending on the difficulty level chosen.

It is a variant of Chu.

## Lore

Found burrowed in tunnels deep beneath the Dark Forest Lótsachu is a creature that I can only hope is described as unique for fitting in those tunnels. Chu's Intertwined with each other, creating a chain of bound creatures make up this massive fellow, a new creature of its own, determined to protect and collect new members to its massive formation. The more Chu's this new being collects the bigger and more violent it becomes. It is said that the creature itself is blind, but has a great sense of hearing and smell. Facing this creature alone is a fate I wish upon no Dust Warrior.

## Requirements

When choosing options for the battle, there are four Difficulty settings, which will affect the number of words each player needs to write, and the time the group has to complete the battle. The total word count needed to win is multiplied by how many players are participating.

     Medium
     Hard
      Extreme

## Drops

As a baseline, Lótsachu drops the above, but can multiply baseline rewards depending on difficulty and Luck. See the Co-Op Drop Table for more information.

During the Love Festival 2023 event, Lótsachu was dropping Love Rings instead of Refined Dust.

## Quests

* Multiplayer Battle Room quest: The Many Into One (4)
* Multiplayer Battle Room quest: My Lótsachu Couch (1)
* Multiplayer Battle Room quest: Rats, More Purple! (1)
* River Diner Grand Opening multiplayer quest: Feeding the Hungry (1)
Our Waymark Stones

Unlocks Season 2: 2020 Season of Wandering Quests

Unlocks Year 2 Season 1: 2021 Season of Hope Quests

Our Waymark Stones unlocks nothing.

## Lore

As the Season of Wandering winds down, it feels important to remember paths I've walked; Velts had a good idea and uses a collection of stones in her cottage as waymarks. When wandering, I think everyone could use a way to see where we've been and how far we've come.
