Post-Exam quest 'Village of Windmills', how to I create a 'giant handmade cloth'?

[xhimekittyx]

I've finished the exam, and am in Feeve Hills in Mechen and took a quest called 'VIllage of Windmills' where a guy needs a large handmade cloth to fix the windmill. I tried making one but it didn't work. Tried making a sail, also didn't work. Am stuck, unsure how to procede?

It should be "giant hand woven cloth".
Handwoven cloth is the third tier of cloth material that you can synthetize and giant is one of the modifiers that you can transfer from ingredients at the end of the crafting.

There are many requests that work like that so it's helpful to remember how it works.

Where can I find items with giant traits to transfer to the handmade cloth? None of my materials have anything like that

[Fel]

(it took a while because I had to battle for the game to recognize my controller for whatever reason)

I don't think I encountered that quest so maybe double-check the wording since the giant trait doesn't exist in this game.
And here I thought I had mostly finished this game.

A screenshot of the quest's description screen would probably help figure it out if you can't do that on your end.

Sorry, you are correct. It's the jumbo trait I'm looking for. I looked into it more and know what I have to do, but the issue is finding items with the jumbo trait that I'm having a hard time with.
The quest says, "Hmm, windmill repair, huh? When it's that big, the cloth needs to be big enough to match the size, right? Ok, let's do our best to prepare a really large handwoven cloth!" The hint below it says, "Let's bring jumbo size handwoven cloth to that man!"

All you need is to find one item with the trait, even if it's not an ingredient for that recipe.
You can transfer the trait to an intermediate item (something that is an ingredient for other recipes) and after a while you will have an item you can use for the recipe you need, with the trait.
You can always go from the item you want and check what items that can be crafted can be used for it and track it down their ingredients until you find the right one.

If you are in the post-exam part of the game then you should have collected items from a lot of places so go to your storage and use the search function to see if you have any item with that trait (it's likely that you have at least one on an odd item in there).

Alas I don't! Even with all the gathering I did. I guess I'll just keep looking! Thank you anyway!

[Fel]

Since it's a somewhat high level trait, try to explore various locations that are a bit higher level than what you explored so far then, there are plenty of areas with high level ingredients that are easy to gather even if you can't fight the enemies yet.

[xhimekittyx]

What locations would you recommend?

[Fel]

I had a closer look and I have that trait on many different gatherable items, not just late game ones so maybe just make a very good "special nutrient" (you want the best effect on it) and use that before going to gather items in a zone.

I searched for the jumbo trait in one of my saves:

So I found an item with 'jumbo', problem is it's on a white ashstone, which is an ore. I don't think I can transfer that to the handwoven cloth, and I've looked at a few catalysts, but none are quite right. Is there a way to transfer it from the ore to the handwoven cloth?

[Fel]

You could make it into a red neutralizer, then into a Leather that you can use as "animal mat" for the handwoven cloth.
As long as you transfer the Jumbo each time you will be all good.
