ITEMS TO GET: Manly Mantle, Goddess Robe

   This isn't really a sidequest, but I had to mention it somewhere. Fly to the upper of the two dots in the southeast-most island (the bottom one is Anima Dungeon 1), and enter the house there (you'll have to get off your Gears to get through the forest). Taura's in the back room; talk to him and he'll give you a Manly Mantle and Goddess Robe, both of which are good armor.
