While the moss was at least interesting, it wasn't what he was looking for. Shield continued to make his way back, aiming for the clearing where he had faced the last of the flying monkies. It might not have respawned a chest, but it might at least be close enough to something of note to be able to pick up with his loot gear. The little clearing was just as he had left it, and although there was something that his earring detected. It was faint, but it was at least something.

He tried to follow it, but it was dim enough that he lost the trail once or twice and had to double back to the clearing. Finally, he managed to pick up a solid trail to something, so he followed it, paying attention to when his earring grew brighter. Eventually, he came upon a tree that had a few pieces of fruit hanging from the lowest branches. He tapped the nearest one and found that it was indeed an item. He stowed it with the others and backtracked once again to the clearing. His earring remained dark like the rest of the night around him, so he continued along the path back.

At this point, Shield had given up on the possibility of a chest. While he was not ungrateful for the item he had recovered, the loot yield for the quest so far had proven remarkably low for something on such a high floor. In the long run, he supposed it wasn't even a quarter of the way up Aincrad, but still, on the floor below, he could crank out loot like nobody's business.

As he walked, his earring began to glow once again, and he once again followed where the light led him. When he encountered another of the same type of tree, his hopes of significant finds dropped even lower. "It's like this whole forest is nothing but basic ingredients and low-level chests." He sighed once again, tapping the ripest of the fruits and storing them with the other items he had recovered from the woods. "It's like this place only existed for basic crafting materials."

He paused as he thought over that concept. "I suppose it makes sense. If this place was the site for a witch's brewery, then most likely it had something to offer the witch aside from solitude... and perhaps a regular supply of monkeys." His earring had not yet dimmed, meaning that at least one of the other fruits was ripe. Looking around from limb to limb, he spotted a promising piece and stored it with the first. Once again, his earring fell dark.

Starting back off down the path, he began to take stock of the things that still needed identifying. There were at least a dozen pieces of equipment, which boded well. There were easily as many consumables, but he had a distinct feeling that using the consumable to identify more consumables would be a bit of a fool's errand.

The tower had vanished behind the trees once again, and he thought he could make out the lights of the main settlement ahead. "Well, at least I got what I came here for, if not anything else of value."

He kept his eyes out for further signs of hidden loot, but before he knew it, he was back in the settlement. The sleepy little burg had fallen dark and silent, with only a few straggling players drifting around the safe zone. He made his way to the teleportation plaza.

"Taft!" he baked out, and with that, he was whisked away. The walk home was equally uneventful, the moonlight keeping a steady light on his path to avoid unwanted confrontations. The outside of his house was just as silent when he arrived home as the last leg of his journey had been. As he walked by his workshop on the way to his actual home, he touched his hand to the door. "Big day tomorrow," he said with one more affectionate pat. "We'll get the old business going again. Hopefully, it's even better than it was."

With that, he made his way towards his front door, and eventually, bed.
