Walkthrough

If you don't have the Sunspear Great Hall on your map yet you can combine this quest with Armored Transport, which will take you there. If you haven't entered the Sunpspear Great Hall after that quest you have to go there now and enter the outpost. Once in the Sunspear Great Hall, find Castellan Puuba (you can use the "Alt" key to find NPCs inside a town/outpost). When you talk to him he will ask you to go outside into Plains of Jarin to test his new blade.

Enter the area and after taking the Insect Hunt Bounty at the resurrection shrine, approach Castellan Puuba. He will now be added to your party as a ally. Straight ahead from the entrance there is a colony of Stalking Nephila. Lead the Castellan there and he will start to attack them; and, as a good ally, he will even change his target to whatever target you are attacking. After slaying the required 10 creatures, the Castellan will thank you for your help and you can return to Kamadan to collect your reward.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Chorben [Weapons]

"Come here my friend. You see this wonderful sword? See how it drinks in the light? I have customized it especially for Castellan Puuba, the headmaster of the Sunspear Great Hall. You look the part of a Sunspear. IF you are headed in that direction, you could help me out by delivering this sword. I have too many irons in the fire, but I know he's eager to try it out. His passion for weapons nearly rivals my own."

 Accept: "No problem, I'm on my way there now."

 Decline: "Sorry. My mom told me never to run with sharp objects."

 Ask: "Please take my beautiful, customized sword to Castellan Puuba at the Sunspear Great Hall."

Intermediate dialogue

Castellan Puuba

"What do you have there for me? Ah, my custom blade! Thank you so much for bringing it to me. I can't wait to try it out! Chorben's work always astonishes me. Come with me, <Character Name>. Let us give this weapon a test worthy of such refined steel. Meet me outside on the Plains of Jarin."

Upon defeating ten creatures

Castellan Puuba: "Thank you for helping me test my blade. When you see Chorben, inform him that his craftsmanship is still unparalleled in all the lands. A glorious day to be a Sunspear, is it not?"

Reward dialogue

Chorben [Weapons]

"Thank you, my friend, for delivering that blade. I am happy to hear Castellan Puuba still enjoys my work. It is rare to find someone who truly appreciates the beauty of crafted steel. Please, takes these materials in gratitude. You should have enough to craft a new weapon. If you also see beauty in steel, I would be happy to craft a new weapon for you, or even customize the one at your side."

Notes

• Puuba doesn't personally have to slay a beast to make it count.
• Combines well with Armored Transport, Proof of Courage, and Map-Travel Inventor.
• Minions count as creatures here.
• The word Castellan is a Title, not part of the NPC's Name.

Bug.Unlike most other quests when you give an item to an NPC, there doesn't appear to be a text notification that Puuba takes his sword.
