Need help with Sidequest 171, 'A Costume fit for a Consul,' in Ni no Kuni II? Learn how to gather Rook's Brocades, Snazzy Strings, and Moonrise Threads to craft the Chief Consul's Coat.

Hey there! Lofty's decided it's time for Evan and his pals to get some snazzy new outfits, and Grimm needs a hand putting together Roland's look. This quest, 'A Costume fit for a Consul,' is all about gathering some specific materials to craft a special coat. Let's break down what you need to do!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gather Rook's Brocades and Snazzy Strings: Your first task is to get your hands on five Rook's Brocades and three Snazzy Strings. You can find both of these items at the Wondrous and Bountiful Bazaars right in Evermore. Just head over there and stock up!
  2. 2
    Obtain Moonrise Threads: This is where things get a little trickier. You'll need two Moonrise Threads. To get these, you'll need to visit the Faraway Forest Maze. This maze is located on the island east of Broadleaf, and you'll need to have completed Sidequest 002, 'Top Marks for Trying,' before you can access it.
  3. 3
    Navigating the Faraway Forest Maze: Once you've got Sidequest 002 out of the way, enter the Dreamer's Door. The maze has 30 floors in total. Your best bet for finding the Moonrise Threads is to look for the sparkles on floors 21 and above. Be warned, though – it's completely random, so you might not get them on your first try. The 'rare materials' option in your Tactic Tweaker won't help with these sparkles, as it only affects battles.
  4. 4
    Alternative Method for Moonrise Threads: If you're having trouble finding the threads from sparkles, there's another way. You can increase the Danger Level to five and defeat monsters, hoping they drop the Moonrise Threads. If you go this route, the 'rare materials' option in your Tactic Tweaker *will* work, increasing your chances of a drop.
  5. 5
    Hand Over the Materials: Once you've collected all the necessary items – the five Rook's Brocades, three Snazzy Strings, and two Moonrise Threads – head back and hand them over to Grimm.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on the sparkles in the Faraway Forest Maze, especially on the higher floors (21+).
  • Don't forget that the Tactic Tweaker's rare material boost only works for monster drops, not for sparkles.
  • If you're struggling to get the Moonrise Threads, consider increasing the Danger Level and fighting monsters.
