Follow our guide to complete the Cutting Edge Solutions side quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, including objectives and locations.
Alright, let's get this side quest, 'Cutting Edge Solutions,' done in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. It's a Level 80 quest in Thavnair, and it's pretty straightforward. You'll be helping out a character named Apasa.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, you need to find Apasa. She's hanging out in Thavnair at coordinates X: 11.1, Y: 23.5. The closest Aetheryte to her is 'The Great Work,' so make your way there if you haven't already.
- 2After you chat with Apasa, she'll give you a task: distribute a coating agent to some quarry workers. You'll need to head over to Giantsgall Ground. The location for this is X: 29.1, Y: 9.1.
- 3Once you're at Giantsgall Ground, you'll find three Stonecutters who need the coating agent. They are:
- 4A Soft-hearted Stonecutter
- 5A Sinewy Stonecutter
- 6A Sunny Stonecutter
- 7Just interact with each of them to deliver the coating agent. It's a simple delivery, so no need to overthink it.
- 8After you've given the agent to all three Stonecutters, head back to Apasa. She's still at her original spot (X: 11.1, Y: 23.5). Report back to her, and you'll wrap up this quest.
Tips
- Make sure you've got your mount ready to go. Giantsgall Ground isn't too far from Apasa, but it's always quicker to fly there.
- Keep an eye on your map for the objective markers. They'll point you directly to Apasa and the Stonecutters.
Completing this quest will give you your usual experience points and gil. It's a good little side activity to keep you busy while exploring Thavnair!
