Alzirr: You'd like to learn more about Essence Extraction? Hmm. Essence is a life force through which all things grow and move.
Alzirr: All things graced by AION's touch contain essence. Not just those things that live and breathe, but even rocks!
Alzirr: Once you understand this, you will become much more effective at extracting. Now, shall we try another test?
Alzirr: There's a mineral known as Ruby. I expect you might have extracted it a few times already. Now I need you to bring me some Splendent Ruby extracted from Ruby.
Alzirr: I'll be able to upgrade you to Professional once you do, so don't give up no matter how difficult it is.
