How to Start The Carving Out a Niche Side Quest in Final Fantasy 16

First things first, you’ll need to have completed the main story mission Riddle of the Sands, and be on Follow the Crystals. When those requirements have been met, head over to Sava who can be at The Briar’s Kiss area of "The Dalimil Inn" iconThe Dalimil Inn. Speak with him and you’ll discover that he is been tasked with crafting a knife that embodies the spirit of Dalimil and has no idea where to begin, so Clive has offered to help him solve this mystery.

Where to Find The Limestone

Once you’ve finished speaking with Sava, head over to The Markets portion of The Dalimil Inn and speak with the Flesher who can be found near The Baths and Hunter who can be found at the Shop. Here you’ll learn that a knife needs to be strong so it can withstand a lot of damage and is extremely sharp. After you’ve gathered up all the information, return to Sava and combine your ideas. Unfortunately, this information doesn’t help him with making a knife that L’ubor is looking for.

However, he does have one last idea and that’s speaking to a trusted merchant that L’ubor likes to use, so exit The Dalimil Inn via the north entrance and head northwest until you reach The Watcher area of The "Velkroy Desert" iconVelkroy Desert which is in the center. When you arrive, join Sava and the Trader and you’ll discover that the key material required is Limestone and Sava has requested you find some for him. Return to The Dalimil Inn and head out of the south gate, then you’ll find some Limestone sitting on the floor to the west.
