The following is the results of what I got when doing the Collect version of the Abysmal tasks. I've already entered items and recipes, but the quest page needs some updating. The number of hand-ins is what I had to do to get to the next stage; they may be off by a few if I did extras.
You say, 'Hail, Viliani I`Xvoyt'
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Hail to you. I don't have a lot of free time. If you're going to stand around here and pretend you have something interesting to say, how about you let me put you to [work] instead. I know my ears would approve of the silence.'
You say, 'What Muramite Bile?'
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Muramite bile is a complicated substance. I have, however, discovered a way to extract the bile from the organs that hold it in such a way that it is not spoiled. It's interesting that the different races all have this dangerous bile. It appears that this organ is underdeveloped in many of these creatures, though. I suspect it has to do with their maturity. I believe that it develops much more slowly than the rest of their bodies. Only the older ones will have bile sacks. Bring me a bile sack and I will extract the bile for you and give it to you stored properly. I will keep a portion of the bile for my own research as payment for my efforts.'
You say, 'What simple things?'
This response is currently bugged in game. Viliani replies with a line from Uiyaniv. What she "should" say is something to the effect of, give me a Muramite Blood Distillate and I will give you supplies. If you do enough work, I'll teach you how to process the muramite blood and bile. Since you are providing me with some materials, I will teach you sooner than Uiyaniv would.
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Tolerable. At least you are willing to try to prove yourself. Here is what I propose. I will have you complete many tedious and -- if I can manage it -- painful tasks. The result will mean that I have more free time to work on my own projects. In exchange, if you work hard enough, I will teach you the secret for distillation of the Muramite blood. Don't expect this to happen quickly. Your first task will be to create some simple universal suspension. Just take the simple thickener and a vial of Abysmal Sea water and combine them in your mortar and pestle. Return the suspension to me when you are done.'
Hand her a Muramite Blood Distillate
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'It looks like you're ready to get started. Good. Take a small vial of Muramite blood distillate and Wayfarers Secret Suspension and combine them in your mortar and pestle to create a simple contact poison. The Muramite blood makes it pretty potent, so don't leave it lying around. Bring it right back to me when you're done.'
Step 1: Simple Muramite Blood Contact Poison = Small Vial of Muramite Blood Distillate + Wayfarer Secret Suspension, trivial 31
Hand her a Simple Muramite Blood Contact Poison
Viliani I`Xvoyt nods. 'Fine, but there are more [simple things] you should be able to help with.'
After 36 hand-ins:
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'There is plenty for you to do. Don't just stand around gawking. Take a small vial of Muramite blood distillate and Wayfarers secret anti-coagulant and combine them in your mortar and pestle. If you aren't a completely incompetent creature, you should be able to produce a reasonable quantity of simple Muramite blood-injected poison. Bring it to me when you're done.'
Step 2: Simple Muramite Blood Injected Poison = Wayfarer Secret Anticoagulant + Small Vial of Muramite Blood Distillate, trivial 38
Hand her a Simple Muramite Blood Injected Poison
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Don't look too smug, there are still some [simple things] for you to do.'
After 37 hand-ins:
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'There is no lack of work for you. Take this small vial of Muramite blood distillate and simple paralytic and combine them in your mortar and pestle. Don't screw it up and you'll be able to make some simple Muramite blood paralytic. Handy stuff when you don't want to kill someone, but you don't want them killing you either. Bring to me whatever you can make.'
Step 3: Simple Invader Blood Paralytic = Small Vial of Muramite Blood Distillate + Simple Paralytic, trivial 46
Hand her a Simple Invader Blood Paralytic
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Not bad. Keep it up and I promise to reward you. For now, you have more [simple tasks] to perform.'
After 31 hand-ins:
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Good. For now I am in need of some atrophic. Don't ask why, just combine a small vial of Muramite blood distillate and simple wasting poison in your mortar and pestle. Don't lick your fingers while working on this or you'll find yourself unable to beg for my help in the future. Bring me the atrophic when you have it finished.'
Step 4: Simple Invader Blood Atrophic = Small Vial of Muramite Blood Distillate + Simple Wasting Poison, trivial 54'
Hand her a Simple Muramite Blood Atrophic
Viliani I`Xvoyt nods. 'Not bad. At least you keep me from being plagued by these [simple tasks].'
After 36 hand-ins:
Viliani I`Xvoyt waves her hand at you. 'Take this back. I don't need your help any more. Go to Uiyaniv and he will reward you, I'm far too busy. Just tell him that I said you were [useful] to me. Now leave me to my work.'
Turn to Uiyaniv
You say, 'I was useful'
Uiyaniv Tu`Vrozix smiles and nods to you. 'You have proven your worth. You need do no more tasks for us. You have done enough and your skills will be more useful elsewhere. Here is the secret we promised you.' Uiyaniv retrieves a thin piece of paper from his pocket. He tells you that it is a bit of the filter that he uses for distilling Muramite blood. He waves it suddenly under your nose. You can't help but flinch at the stench, which causes him to chuckle. You recognize the smell and are able to figure out exactly what he uses to distill the poison from the blood. Figuring out the process is easy now. You also know that you can teach yourself a more effective process with enough practice. Uiyaniv then continues, 'The same method will work for the material we have been calling Muramite bile, though that probably has less in common with what we know as bile.'
You say, 'Hail, Viliani I`Xvoyt'
Viliani I`Xvoyt says 'Hail to you. I don't have a lot of free time. If you're going to stand around here and pretend you have something interesting to say, how about you let me put you to [work] instead. I know my ears would approve of the silence.'
