With her grand ideas and busy schedule, Tataru has been busy of late but don’t worry,Mehdjina has some big ideas of her ownin the 6.55 update to Tataru’s Grand Endeavor. Here’s where to start and what you get for completing the sidequest.
Treasured Bonds
The first quest in the 6.55 update to the Tataru’s Grand Endeavor side quest is called “Treasured Bonds“. To pick it up, talk toMehdjina (X11.9 Y9.8) in Old Sharlayan.
She’s had a grand idea of her own and wants to create a uniform for the academics inThe Studium. A vaguely familiar face will also appear in this quest in the form ofHasdahd, one of the Hannish folk we met a while back during the MSQ.
Following the cutscene, head toThe Studiumand talk toMehdjina (X4.4 Y9.1).She soon realises that her plans to create one uniform for everyone in The Studium isn’t the best idea, because they all need vastly different things.
Following some dejection on her part, Hasdahd will provide something of a pep talk and convince her that perhaps the best move for two people feeling so far removed from their home is to visit it.
Head to Tataru’s store and speak toHasdahd (X11.8 Y9.9), which will trigger a cutscene during which Tataru will offer words of encouragement to our two young friends, before heading down to Scholar’s Harbor and talking toHasdahd (X12.9 Y13.7)again. You’ll be transported toRadz-at-Hanin order to catch your ‘connecting flight’.
Once in Radz-at-Han, talk toMehdjina (X8.5 Y15.6), triggering a cutscene.
Once the cutscene is over, you’ll be inPalaka’s Stand.Head to the destination(X29.6 Y15.4)and interact with it to finish“Treasured Bonds”.
More Precious than Gil
To begin this quest, speak withHasdahd (X29.5 Y16.0)inPalaka’s Stand. Once you’ve picked up the quest and gone through a cutscene, you’ll need to talk to three villagers:
Once you’ve done this, you’ll need toaccompany Hasdahd and Mehdjina to The Shroud of the Samghato pay respect to their parents, who did not survive the Final Days. Along the way, there will be atalking point at (X30.3 Y20.5)where you’re able to discuss the Shroud.
Once you’ve reached the end of your journey South, talk toHasdahd (X32.3 Y26.1)while inside the location circle. This will trigger a cutscene, after which you will be back in Palaka’s Stand.
Talk toYuruvvet (X29.5 Y16.0)to trigger another cutscene. The idea is hatched for Tataru’s Store in Old Sharlayan to begin sellingsmall handicrafts made by the villagers of Palaka’s Standin order to fund their restoration efforts, while helping those who are away from their home feel more connected to their friends and families.
Return to Old Sharlayan and talk toMehdjina (X11.9 Y9.8)in her usual spot atTataru’s Store, where you’ll be asked to inscribe the symbol of Nald’thal on the back of her necklace, which is finally finished.
Once you’ve done this, head down toScholar’s Harborand speak with Mehdjina(X8.5 Y15.6)again in order to trigger another cutscene showing Tataru’s receipt of the necklace – be sure to have some tissues handy.
How to get Wayfarer’s Barding and Tataru’s Bespoke Framer’s Kit
Once that cutscene is over,return to Tataru’s store and talk to Mehdjinain her usual spot for the final time. She relents that the team didn’t have time to provide us with anything in terms of a gift for our hard work, but Tataru comes to the rescue with the rewards for completing this quest:
She also promises that while we may be travelling to the other side of the world soon,we can’t get rid of her that easily and she will still be enlisting our help in future.
