Random Crafting Material Rewards
Location
Zasele and Poltu wander the Baby Spider section of the Hollow Eve festival grounds.
Overview
For a fee of 5 gold dokora, Zasele or Poltu will agree to take 6-8 items from the Tailoring and Forging systems respectively that are at least 4 parts of material or larger in exchange for a grab bag of items which will include some coin, some common gems, some crafting materials and 10 Hollow Eve tickets.
Getting Started
To start the task process once you locate Zasele or Poltu, who wander throughout the Baby Spider section, ASK <NPC> FOR TASK.
ZASELE
ASK ZASELE FOR TASK #1
Seamstress Zasele looks hopeful as she quickly rummages through her signs and holds one up:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I will ask for a fee of 5 gold dokoras from you to accept this task. It ensures you will not waste my time, and it will help me replenish my own supplies to some extent after the festival has moved on.
If you agree to this charge, just ask again and we'll proceed from there. Please be aware that I will not be available after the spider has moved on. If you pay the fee, but do not return to me in time, I shall appreciate your charity, but I will be unable to authorize a refund.
You will need to provide your own materials for the crafting. My grab bag rewards may replenish some, or they may even be greater than your own investments. It's a bit of chance to encourage folks to do more than just the initial work. I will be here the entire fest accepting the goods.
Thank you for your time!"

ASK ZASELE FOR TASK #2
Seamstress Zasele beams and holds up another sign:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I'm pleased with your enthusiasm! Eager workers have a passion for what they do, and it's often reflected in their work! I'm happy to work with you for this!
Task Details
Hollow Eve 410 Details
Here are the terms. I'd like for you to make [4-6] tailored items, leatherworking will work as well. There are many that will do, but when analyzing its craftsmanship, I will be most interested in the following options:
- finished fabric clothing
- finished cloth armor
- finished cloth container
- finished leather armor
- finished leather clothing
Hollow Eve 414 Details
Here are the terms. I'd like for you to make [6-8] tailored items, leatherworking will work as well. There are many that will do, but when analyzing its craftsmanship, I will be most interested in the following options:
- finished cloth accessory
- finished knitted clothing
- finished tanned shield
- finished leather container
It must be well-made or better upon my analysis. There are those who would take advantage of me with shoddy work, and I won't have any of that. It must also be of substantial material so as to offer sufficient protections against the elements.
To that end, I will expect your finished good to make use of at least 4 yards of material.
Please do NOT give me anything you don't want to lose. I don't do exchanges. Once you offer it, it becomes my property and you will not see it again.
I cannot promise that you will make back the cost of your supplies or my fee, but there is a chance of grabbing a nice gem or some of the more rare materials that other crafters seek.
If we proceed, I will take the fee and you can begin work. If not, I understand, and hope you will direct others my way to hear my offer!"

Seamstress Zasele smiles warmly and holds up a simple sign:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Thank you. Let's handle the coins, then you can get right to work. 5 gold dokoras."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Seamstress Zasele takes your coins and nods appreciatively.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Thank you! You can get to work whenever it suits you. Just remember that I leave when the spider leaves. You must finish by then if you want to claim a grab bag.
When you finish, bring me your work and GIVE it over for inspection. As long as it meets the rules I laid out before, I'll accept it.
Good luck!"

Seamstress Zasele takes the cloth towel and studies it. At last, she reaches for her quill and writes, "I've noticed this craftsmanship elsewhere. I don't recognize it as your own. I'm [sic] need to know I can trust you for the safety of my charges. Sorry, but I can't accept this."
