Quest text[edit]

Sharista tells you, Oh, <player>, just a moment please! A diplomatic courier from Kion delivered a message scroll to Vault Manager Baltos this morning, with explicit instructions that it be given to you at first opportunity. If you'll just sign here... Thank you!


Oh, no, I'm very sorry, but I don't have any further information. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for using the Vault of Istaria!

You have received 1 A message addressed to you.

Kendra tells you, Thank you very much for responding so promptly, <player>. If you can complete the task I have for you with as much alacrity I will be most grateful. I'm going to be hosting a very special dinner soon, and I need to decide what dishes to serve. Normally, this is a minor issue, but this time, protocol dictates that my senior advisors choose two of the dishes which will be served. It has been a full month, and they are still undecided. It's my fault, really. I gave them too many options to choose from.


I have collected four recipes, each of which was created by one of the Gifted. The two main dishes were created by Nellie Lovett and Shalindra. Each of them is a delightful example of the Three Sisters cuisine from the southern islands. The other two dishes are a dessert by Kakashi and an appetizer by Zezezar. Each of these dishes is very innovative in its own way, and, frankly, any of them will fit the meal perfectly. These four recipes will be part of your payment.


Kendra tells you, Your task is to prepare three servings of each dish and deliver them to my two advisors and myself. My advisors will vote on which of the dishes they like best, and if need be, I will cast the deciding vote. Because it is the dishes which are being judged, it is my will that they be prepared by a neutral party - which is why I decided to hire you.


Here are the recipes I wish you to prepare. As I said, they are yours to keep regardless. I would like to have these dishes finished and served within four hours. Do so and your payment will be one hundred silver pieces. I'll also provide you with a very rare, Master-level recipe by Kakashi. It appears quite tasty, but I'm afraid it's just not appropriate for the sort of events I hold here.


So, that's what I need from you. Twelve dishes in four hours. Are you up to the task?


Kendra tells you, Excellent. Here are your recipes. When you are finished, return to Kion and deliver the dishes to Sethos Bakari, Amenai Gauzir, and myself. In that order, please. I look forward to tasting your interpretation of these dishes. By the way, your four hours starts... now!


Sethos tells you, These are the sample dishes? Hmmph. Very well. By her command... Thank you, <player>, they all smell wonderful. Please inform Her Ladyship that I will give her my votes as soon as possible.


Amenai tells you, Thank you, <player>. These all look excellent, but if you'll excuse me, I must be about the business of eating them.


Kendra tells you, How wonderful these all look. Well done. Very well done indeed. Thank you very much for putting all of this together, especially in so short a time. As promised, here is your payment, plus a little something extra to help get you the recognition you deserve.

You have received 1 Formula: Rare Main Dish: Kakashi's Jugged Squirrel.

You have received 1 Emblem: Chef.



Steps[edit]

Tip: While you need to craft the four dishes while the quest is active and on the four hour timer, you can gather the resources ahead of time. After speaking to Lady Kendra and receiving the four recipes, you can safely delete the quest and have all the time you need to gather your resources. Once you have all your ingredients on hand, then restart the quest and craft the four dishes. There is no counter for the resources, only the actual crafting of the dishes.
