Quest Tactics[]

This is actually exactly what it says on the tin: the first Stempo you craft. These ingredients will reliably get you one Stempo every time after this, when it becomes a craftable item in Crafts & Trinkets/Wynfri of Water. So you can actually postpone this quest till you want more Stempos, if you want, but the sooner you get it out of the way, the sooner you can craft them in batches.

Glass can be crafted in Three Points Crossing at Blacksmith Barliar. It is also dropped by both Arenica and Suulan if you're battling them anyway. It is also found in Wooden Chest in Three Points Crossing for 1 glass and Golden Chest in Three Points Crossing for 2-4 glass.
