Lady Lua's Quests

Quest Location: Akiba - Chinese New Year
Quests Begun From: Lady Lua (NPC)

Earning Your Stripes

Note: This quest can only be completed once.

With the tiger being seen as a destroyer of evil in Chinese myth, many parents will clothe their children in clothing featuring tigers, or tiger patterns, to ward off misfortune. If we wear tiger patterns, it would both honor Umitora and hopefully prevent a disaster. The spiders and their kin who dwell in Ravenloss have supplies we can use to sew some.

+ When Completed

Wonderful. I'll get Nekomimi to whip up a batch of outfits right away. Talented girl, isn't she? I'd hire her as my personal designer, if she wasn't so obsessed with putting cat ears on everything. They're cute, certainly, but not something that exactly screams ‘high society'. I'm sure both the people of Akiba- and Umitora- will enjoy these, though!

• High-Quality Silk x10
  • Dropped by Evolved Dreadspider
  • Dropped by Ravenloss Spider
• Orange and Black Dye x6

A New Year in Bloom

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

Even tigers appreciate a little beauty sometimes, and the king here is no exception. His favorites, of course, are Tiger Lilies, but he's also partial to the flowers of the Tiger Sign. The local Bamboo Treants, Lingzhi fungi and Xingzhi will usually have plenty of flora growing on them. Bring back the most terrific, astounding and complimentary around!

+ When Completed

Excellent work. These are absolutely beautiful! I hope that Umitora appreciates them just as much as we do. And if he doesn't like how they look, we can always serve them to him as a salad. I suppose we'll take what we can get.

Items Required:

• Astounding Anthuriums x8
  • Dropped by Bamboo Treeant
• Complimentary Cinerarias x8
  • Dropped by Lingzhi
• Terrific Tiger Lilies x10
  • Dropped by Xingzhi

Rewards:

The Eye(s) of the Tiger

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

The excitement here is rising up, but Umitora is unamused. He will not be satisfied until ALL of Lore's eyes are gazing upon him. Get back on the street and bring us some! There are plenty near Mobius and the Ebonslate Fortress, and I hear of thousand-eyed creatures in Greenguard Forest. One such beast even crashed a Battle Wedding!

+ When Completed

My, you truly went the distance on this one. You must be quite the Survivor to come back alive after a hunt like that. These are perfect to let Umitora know that all eyes truly ARE on him! By the way.. are you feeling strangely motivated after all of this talk about eyes and tigers? I can't explain why, but I am. We're not going to stop now, are we?

Items Required:

• Chaos Eyeball x5
  • Dropped by Chaos Sp-Eye (1) (Level 6)
• Evil Eyeball x5
  • Dropped by Sp-Eye
• Deadly Eyeball x2
  • Dropped by Deathgazer
• Heartbreaking Eyeball x1
  • Dropped by Jimmy the Eye Heart

Rewards:

• 3,000 Gold

A Royal Feast

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

The most important thing to any tiger is a good meal. Unfortunately, Umitora is a picky eater. He will only accept the highest quality meat… and prefers it directly from other Zodiac Creatures in Akiba! He is partial to Boar and Ox meat, but his favorite is Rat (he says it tastes like lean pork.. still gross), so get plenty of that. If you carve it, we'll cook it.

+ When Completed

Excellent! This is a feast truly worthy of a king. I believe now that Umitora knows just how much we aim to honor him. Of course, worshiping and fighting him are two different things- at least, in the tiger king's eyes. You will have to prove your strength to him if he is to deem us fit to display his power against. And hopefully you can do it before he's finished with his meal, or we may have to do this all over again!

Items Required:

• Ox Tail x1
  • Dropped by Lu Niu
• Boar Shoulder x1
  • Dropped by Honorable Boar
• Rat… Meaty Bit x3
  • Dropped by Hinezumi

Rewards:

• 6,000 Gold
• 12,000 Exp

Winning Streak

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

Tigers rarely form groups, but when they do, they're called ‘streaks'.There are some strong tigers that Umitora sees as members of his. Defeating them- the White Tigers in /creatures, Cinderclaw and his tigers at /phoenixrise, and Shadowclaw (who fought in the /fireplanewar) will prove that you are more worth his time than they are.

+ When Completed

By proving your superiority over the lesser tigers of the world, you show that you're ready to challenge some of the larger ones- most notably Umitora himself. Though it seems like he's still unimpressed, and maybe even angry that you beat his brethren. Don't worry, I have another plan. If fighting his allies didn't work, what about going after his enemies?

Items Required:

• Bright as a White Tiger x4
  • Dropped by White Tiger (Monster)
• Superior to Cinderclaw x2
  • Dropped by Cinderclaw
• Overshadowed Shadowclaw x1
  • Dropped by ShadowClaw
• Blazed Through Underlings x12
  • Dropped by Firestorm Tiger (Phoenixrise)

Rewards:

• 3,000 Gold
• 6,000 Exp

Yin and Yang

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

The traditional depiction of the Taiji, often called the Yin-Yang symbol, is often accompanied by images of a Dragon and a Tiger. They are seen as the avatars of Yin and Yang, forever in conflict. I hear of a seven-headed dragon that lurks at the /shadowfortress… slaying it would show both your strength and loyalty to the Yang itself.

+ When Completed

It seems Umitora is completely satisfied with all of your flattery, Hero- as well as the leftovers you brought back for him. He's even forgiven you for slaying the other tigers! A worthy challenger, a show of loyalty, and a second helping of food from Orochi's remains. Can you imagine anything more perfect to appeal to one such as the King of Beasts?

Items Required:

• First Head Finished x1
  • Dropped by 1st Head of Orochi
• Second Head Smashed x1
  • Dropped by 2nd Head of Orochi
• Third Head Thrashed x1
  • Dropped by 3rd Head of Orochi
• Fourth Head Flattened x1
  • Dropped by 4th Head of Orochi
• Fifth Head Floored x1
  • Dropped by 5th Head of Orochi
• Sixth Head Slaughtered x1
  • Dropped by 6th Head of Orochi

Rewards:

• 3,000 Gold
• 6,000 Exp

Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

Umitora is almost done with his dinner, and just in time! The performance and celebration will begin shortly as well. But there's one last thing we need: fireworks! We can make a truly grand entrance by lighting some of the bombs carried around by the Lin Kuei assassins using the flames of Fiery Lanterns. Go get us some and we'll be all set.

+ When Completed

I've just gotten word from my servants who speak tiger… and they have bad news. Umitora believes this place is beneath him, so doesn't want to participate anymore. And on top of that, he's angry that we even brought him here in the first place. The fireworks can wait- it looks like Umitora's making his own dynamic entry into Akiba!

Items Required:

• Lantern Flame x10
  • Dropped by Fiery Lantern
• Burning Bomb x10
  • Dropped by Lin Kuei

Rewards:

• 3,000 Gold
• 6,000 Exp

Tame That Tiger!

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can only be completed once.

I'm sorry to put a damper on the New Year's celebration, Hero, but if Umitora continues lashing out, there won't BE a New Year for this island. I hate to keep asking for your help, but it's up to you to show this tiger what happens to spoiled brats. Just be careful: he wouldn't be a ruler if he didn't have the strength to back that title up!

+ When Completed

It appears you've knocked some sense into him. Umitora has agreed to participate in the celebrations without resistance… although he seems more concerned about losing to you than all the damage he's caused. Thankfully, it's all temporary: win or lose, the townsfolk honor Umitora as a warrior and emperor! Oh, and I'll pay for the repairs.

Items Required:

• Great Tiger Tamed x1 (Stacks up to 10)
  • Dropped by Umitora

Rewards:

• 9,000 Gold
• 18,000 Exp

Entertain Us!

Requirements: Must have completed the 'Tame That Tiger!' quest.

It's not an Akiba New Year without a display of combat prowess. You've proved your strength to Umitora, but now he wishes to face you again- this time with a clear head, and a desire to please his subjects. Feel free to battle to your heart's content, so long as you can make it entertaining. We ARE putting on a show, after all.

+ When Completed

Wonderful! That was certainly a performance for the ages. As your reward, take this- a special lucky envelope with my family's seal. If you bring a few of those to Miko, she'll grant you access to some of the finest fashions I have to offer. Consider it your New Year's Allowance!

• Combat Completed x1 (Stacks up to 10)
  • Dropped by Umitora

• 1,500 Gold
• 3,000 Exp
