After turning in first materials:

The Artisan

Back already? I admit, I was hoping such a daunting task might drive you away... I seem to attract the most stubborn sort of people... No matter, where were we?

Ah yes, not bad, Adventurer, the mixtures are well balanced. I can see you've earned your reputation. Don't get your head in the clouds though, you've still got a long way to go.

Regardless, this should cover The Steward's orders for the next few months. What, you didn't think I'd get nothing out of this for myself, did you?

For your next task, I want you to pour your heart into a finished product, six finished products to be precise. Bring me twenty four [Enhanced Potion of Power Rank 6, +1], twenty four [Enhanced Potion of Defense Rank 6, +1], and twenty four [Enhanced Potion of Deflect Rank 6, +1].

Well done, these potions are quite high quality. The distillation, however, is less than perfect. Even with the highest quality materials, the process is important, ensuring a thoroughly mixed solution is paramount.

Some ingredients lose their potency when not properly combined, others can be poisonous. A proper tool should ensure pure distillations and therefore excellently combined solutions.

You've earned this alembic, it's served me for many years. Now let's see what your alchemists can do with it.
