{{Quest
|Image = [[Image:gwendolyn.png]]
|Start = 016-1 Woodland, south from Dimond's Cove
|Prerequisites = [[Focusing Skills]], [[Forest Bow Quest]]
|Level = 50
|Reward = [[Mallard's Eye Skill]], 20,000 EXP
|Cost = 18 [[Cave Snake Egg]]s, 15 [[Snake Egg]]s, 5 [[Mountain Snake Egg]]s, 2 [[Grass Snake Egg]]s, 25,000 GP
}}

'''Important Note:'''
* The [[Mallard's Eye Skill]] increases the '''accuracy''' and '''range of archery'''. For example, with 100 in Dexterity, you get +1 Range per 3 points in the [[Skills|skill]]. In addition, your accuracy remains about the same as without the [[Skills|skill]] at max Range meaning which that at close range you're much more accurate than without the [[Skills|skill]].

'''What To Do:'''
# Head south from [[Hurnscald]] then west. When you are at Dimond Cove, head south, and pass over the bridge. Follow the narrow path south and take the right side where it forks. You will see a little house and Gwendolyn, waiting for you.
# She will ask you for 25,000 GP to pay for the Archery Lesson. To prove that you are already a good archer, bring her 18 Cave Snake Eggs, 15 Snake Eggs, 5 Mountain Snake Eggs, and 2 Grass Snake Eggs.
# Complete the minigame about the wind.
# After that, you will be done with this [[Skills|Skill]].

'''Hint:'''
* You must have the Forest Bow from the [[Forest Bow Quest]] and regular Arrows to do this quest.

'''The minigame:'''
'''Note:''' If the wind comes from the side (including diagonals), you must make steps (or aim) in that direction.

|}
Keep in mind that wind is kind of random; thus there is always a chance that you shoot "a fingerbreadth aside". A higher dexterity and agility will help though. Don't worry, Gwendolyn is patient and you will have another chance to adjust your shoot. A random number between 0 and 499 will be generated. If the number is larger than ( 2*your dexterity + agility), the shoot won't hit the target.

Examples:
* If Gwedolyn says that the wind is "Blowing (2) from the South-West" you will make ''at first trial'', 2 steps to your left, and blow a weak shot.
* If there is a "strong wind coming from the North (3), you stay and shoot "Rather Powerful".

'''Rewards:'''
* [[Mallard's Eye Skill]]
* 20,000 EXP

'''Total Cost:'''
* 18 [[Cave Snake Egg]]s
* 15 [[Snake Egg]]s
* 5 [[Mountain Snake Egg]]s
* 2 [[Grass Snake Egg]]s
* 25,000 GP

== Background Story ==

It appears that [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]] has a great project. He plans to carry out his master piece, a real artwork: a new dream dress. But his sewing skills are limited. He needs the help from someone who excels at hand-sewing, for he is more adept at fine fancywork. Luckily, there is one in the [[Argaes|Argaes]], and you have already met her. Unfortunately she has a rivalry-based jealously against Agostine. Will you be able to make them cooperate and forget their long held resentments? The effort will be well worth the reward.

== Walkthrough ==

You need to be at least level 60, and to have completed both [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine The Tailor]], and [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress]] quests, to complete this one. Although the steps to work through this quest are rather straightforward, you may have to muster up some patience while grinding for the necessary items, which you will have to hand over to our two favorite dressmakers. This spoiler is mainly here as a reference.

=== What To Do: ===

* From Nivalis' soul menhir, head north-west to the upper part of the village. the first house you meet is [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine's]] workshop. Enter and talk with him. If you are level 60, he will speak about the problems he has with a "wonderful fashion". Of course you tell him about [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]] in Dimond's Cove. Though "he had almost forgotten about her" and that "she tried to put him out of business" he seems ready to collaborate with her. You will of course go and see [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]] for him.
* When you are with [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]], tell her that you have a proposal. When she knows it comes from [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]], she will be reactionary and mutter against him a bit and wonder if you are joking. But you say you are serious. And as she is curious, she will ask you to get more information.
* Return to [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]]. He will tell you that he saw the dress in a dream, and takes you into his confidence by admitting that he lacks sufficient skill to make it by himself. Then he gives you some bundles of fine luxurious cloth to bring to [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]].
* Go back to [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora]]. Tell her about the dream and give her the items. She is quite impressed by the quality of these materials, but needs some more to fix [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine's]] sewing of the edges.
* Give her the required 180 Silk Cocoons. But to be able to sew, [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]] needs to see the patterns and [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]] didn't give you even a copy of them; you have to travel again!
* After your journey to [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]], return to [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora]] and give her the drawings of the design for the dress. Now [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora Tay]] needs some time and quietness to work. You '''must''' leave her and go outside of Dimond's Inn (Some fresh air will not harm you).
* Return to [[Lora Tay The Legendary Seamstress|Lora]]. The result is great, but she cannot finish the white flare designs on the bottom of the dress herself, but acknowledges [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine's]] ability to do so.
* Travel again to Nivalis, for it is time to finish the masterpiece. [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]] will accomplish the bottom edge with cotton work, but naturally, more materials are needed.
* Give 20 Cotton Cloths to [[Agostine The Tailor|Agostine]] so he can finish the work.
* He proposes you now to be his ambassador and wear the dress, but you have to pay your contribution: 20,000 GP.
*If you agree to his deal, you get one Fine Dress. See below for the available colors you can have [[Selim The Dyer|Selim]] make your prize, if you have the dye.

=== Hints ===

* You can find [[silkworm|silkworms]] in many areas, but the best one is definitely in the south-western part of East swamp (the one with no mist).
* Grass snakes have a very high cotton cloth drop rate, as long as you are fast, strong and quick enough. Also, if you are magical, you can get Mouboos to drop a few for you.

'''Silk Cocoon is dropped by:'''

* [[Silkworm]] (50%)
* Butterfly (10%)

'''Cotton Cloth is dropped by:'''

* Mouboo (5%)
* Grass Snake (16%)

'''Rewards:'''

* 1 [[Item Reference/Chest Armor|Fine Dress]] (Nicknamed: Agostine's Dream Dress) Defense +8, Magic Attack +3, 35g.

'''Total Cost:'''

* 20 Cotton Cloths
* 20.000 GP

'''Note:'''

Frictor is a leader of the [http://www.aethyraproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9| Aethyra Project]. The original item was released as "Valentine Dress" (dyable) and imported TMW as [[Item Reference/Chest Armor|"Platyna Red Dress"]] with a special unique color. [[User:Platyna|Platyna]] who hosts this game since the beginning of the project, is the only player to wear it . The "Fine Dress" released with this quest was made after it. Agostine was not the only one to dream about it!

SudoPlatypus:

My real name is Christopher Goodwin, I am from greater Boston area, USA. Only language I speak is English, and some people in game in have challenged me that English cannot be my first language, but that is just because in game I speak with a Mana world dialect.

To date my contributions to the game are very small. But include one piece of pixel art: the female version of Sema. http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=13963&p=111970&hilit=Sema#p111970

Currently am working on a serious quest to be considered to get Alige's toilet plunger hat into play.
