==Steps==
*Speak with the former Immortal Flame in Little Ala Mhigo.
*Return to Y'mhitra at Apkallu Falls.

==Journal==
*Y'mhitra wishes to share with you the results of her investigation.

*As a member of the Sons of Saint Coinach, Y'mhitra has access to records that allowed her to narrow down her search for the mystery assailant. Though she uncovered little more than an outdated military registration and a name-- Tristan-- the research was also able to track down one of the man's old war comrades. Travel to Little Ala Mhigo, and speak with the former Immortal Flame.

*You have survived the ambush sprung upon you by the former soldier in Little Ala Mhigo. Return to Apkallu Falls and speak with Y'mhitra.

*Though your inquiries in Little Ala Mhigo were met with nothing but misguided hostility, you nevertheless learn that Tristan is aware of your efforts to track him. Y'mhitra apologizes for her mistaken evaluation of the dangerous summoner, and bids you continue to improve in the art of summoning.
**The next summoner quest will be available from Y'mhitra upon reaching level 45.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Y'mhitra:''' How fared you with your training, [Player]? For my part, I had some success in uncovering the identity of our mystery attacker.
'''Y'mhitra:''' We knew that our assailant was capable of summoning Ifrit-Egi, so I perused the records of past expeditions for those who claimed to have triumphed against the Lord of the Inferno.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Of these victorious primal hunters, there were eight names listed as "present whereabouts unknown." After eliminating unlikely candidates based on race and gender, I was left with but a single name: Tristan.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Assuming the records are accurate, this Hyur was once registered as a soldier in the Immortal Flames. As to how the man came by his skills as a summoner, or why he sought to kill us, however, I remain woefully ignorant.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Nevertheless, I have witnessed him use the art of summoning for casual brutality, and that I cannot countenance. This power should never be employed for the sake of tyranny or personal gain; it was meant to oppose such evils.
'''Y'mhitra:''' It is our responsibility to bring this Tristan to justice. Should we stand idle, his reprehensible actions could very well stain the good name of future summoners who have yet to answer their calling. The art itself could be outlawed; the very mention of it, taboo.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Now, through my inquiries I was able to determine that a war comrade from Tristan's days in the military resides in Little Ala Mhigo. I ask that you pay a visit to this former soldier, and learn what he knows of our callous villain.
===Speaking to the Former Immortal Flame===
'''Former Immortal Flame:''' Well, well, seems like Tristan wasn't telling tall tales, after all. He said I could expect some primal-addled sod to show up and start asking questions.
'''Former Immortal Flame:''' Why don't you stay here and "play" with some friends of mine——I've a message to deliver. He's/She's all yours, ladies!
===Reporting back to Y'mhitra===
'''Y'mhitra:''' You were set upon!? The fiend is one step ahead of us...
'''Y'mhitra:''' I'd wager ten years of dig site findings that Tristan "warned" his old allies long before you set foot in that settlement. They thought you one of the tempered——a mortal in thrall to a primal's will.
'''Y'mhitra:''' In addition to being ruthless, it appears that our opponent is highly intelligent...and not quite as deranged as I first assumed.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Such a level of planning hints at the existence of some greater scheme. But that is still all we know. For the moment, we must be content with the knowledge that he perceives us a threat and is aware of our efforts to track him.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Speaking of which, you did exceedingly well to survive the trap into which I blithely sent you.
'''Y'mhitra:''' I must apologize for my carelessness——I will not underestimate this man again. On a happier note, however, my efforts to decipher the Allagan texts proceed apace. Here, you must read this.
'''Y'mhitra:''' With your skills already tried and tested against the egi, you should have little difficulty in mastering a secondary summoning technique such as this. Let us put this day's disaster behind us, and focus on the wonders that lie ahead!

===Notes===
Completion of this quest unlocks an increase to [[Mounts#Mount_speed|mount speed]] in [[Eastern Thanalan]].

==Steps==
*Search the lichyard for [[Imperial Frumentarius|unseen observers]].
*Speak with [[Marques]].
*Show [[Imperial Shortsword|the sword]] to Father [[Iliud]].

==Journal==
* Marques believes he is being watched.

* Marques cannot shake the feeling that he is being watched. Apparently, the sensation comes and goes, but he felt it quite strongly not long ago. Put his fears to rest by searching the surrounding area for hidden onlookers.

* While patrolling the lichyard, you come under attack from an unknown assailant. After slaying the man in self-defense, you note that his sword is unlike any you have seen before, and retrieve it in the hope that it might serve to identify him. Inform Marques that his fears were justified.

* Marques has no idea why the man would be monitoring his activities, but he suspects it may have something to do with his past─a past which he still cannot recall, despite his best efforts. As this may not be the last time dangerous men come in search of Marques, he asks that you inform Father Iliud of everything that has transpired. Perhaps you should show him the unusual sword you discovered as well.

* Recognizing the sword you found to be Garlean steel, Father Iliud concludes that the man observing Marques was an imperial soldier. Before he can dispatch you to inform the authorities, Alphinaud Leveilleur strides into the church and declares Marques to be none other than Master Cid Garlond, who has been missing since the Calamity five years ago. While he has yet to recover his lost memories, Cid senses that the boy speaks the truth, and decides to join him. Resigned, Father Iliud produces Cid's belongings, which the priest had stored for safekeeping. Alphinaud then reveals that the Ixal have summoned Garuda, and that Cid's lost airship, the ''Enterprise'', will be required if the surviving Scions are to reach the primal. Together with Cid and Alphinaud, make for Gridania, where the ''Enterprise'' was last seen.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Marques:''' I...I'm not imagining it, [Forename]. I ''know'' I'm being watched...
'''Marques:''' This is different─sinister. It is as if I am...under observation.
'''Marques:''' The feeling comes and goes...but I felt it when last I ventured outside. Yes. I know I felt it. Will you look outside for me...''please''? It will only take a moment.

===Searching the lichyard for unseen observes===
'''You are being watched...'''

===Speaking with Marques===
'''Marques:''' You were attacked, weren't you? Are you unharmed? Thank the gods.
'''Marques:''' I knew it. He ''was'' watching me. ...But why was he watching me?
'''Marques:''' What did he ''want'' with me? Did he, perhaps...know something of my past? If only I could have asked him...
'''Marques:''' I...I need to think. Please, allow me a moment alone. Wait. Father Iliud must hear of this. Will you tell him for me? It's important. I think others may come for me again.

===Showing the Sword to Father Iliud===
'''Iliud:''' Heavens forfend... That such a thing should happen on holy ground! Do you have any idea who this man was? Did you notice anything distinctive about his garb or possessions?
'''''<hand over Imperial Sword>'''''
'''Iliud:''' This...this is Garlean steel. Which means the man who was watching Marques was...
'''Iliud:''' Make haste to Camp Drybone at once! We must summon the Immortal Flames before more imperials come!

===Post quest turn in Cutscene===
'''Alphinaud:''' Hmph. I fondly hoped that I might be the first to speak with you... Would that I had been so fortunate.
'''Alphinaud:''' At ease, adventurer─I come not on behalf of the Empire. On the contrary, I mean to revive the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
'''Alphinaud:''' And to that end...
'''Alphinaud:''' I have come in search of a legend─the greatest engineer of our time. Master Cid Garlond─I have come for you.

'''Iliud:''' I fear you are mistaken, child. He is but a poor soul who bore witness to the horrors at Carteneau.
'''Iliud:''' I beg of you, leave us in peace...

'''Marques:''' Wait... I...

'''Alphinaud:''' Hear me, Cid! Eorzea needs you!

'''(If Legacy 1.0 Character)'''
'''Marques:''' You... so familiar... We... It's...all a blue.

'''Iliud:''' Cid, was it? Here...these belong to you.
'''Iliud:''' I thought you bore the mark of greatness... It seems that I was right.
'''Iliud:''' Our time together was all too brief, but it felt as though my son had returned to me. You have brought joy to an old man's life.
'''Iliud:''' But it is time for you to help those who truly need you.

'''Cid:''' Who...are you?

'''Alphinaud:''' Alphinaud Leveilleur, at your service.
'''Alphinaud:''' As a Scion of the Seventh Dawn, I stand against our primal and imperial foes─as my grandfather once did.
'''Alphinaud:''' 'Tis no secret what befell our order at the Waking Sands. Word has already spread across Eorzea.
'''Alphinaud:''' The repercussions are far greater than you realize. In the wake of the Calamity, the three city–states focused their efforts solely on reconstruction.
'''Alphinaud:''' Leaving the Scions to combat the primal threat unaided.
'''Alphinaud:''' And lo, we are all but destroyed. Yet even as the nations mourn our demise, and abandon what little hope they have left, we cannot forsake our duty─now least of all.
'''Alphinaud:''' The Ixal have summoned Garuda once more, and she torments the people of Coerthas as we speak.
'''Alphinaud:''' Her appetite for destruction far exceeds that of other primals.
'''Alphinaud:''' Worse, in her present incarnation, our Baldesion colleagues believe she surpasses both Ifrit and Titan in strength.
'''Alphinaud:''' Yet therein lies an opportunity. Were we somehow to defeat Garuda, it would serve as a warning to the other beast tribes that even their mightiest gods can be felled.
'''Alphinaud:''' If we are to face our foe, we must first circumvent the tempest that shields her sanctuary.
'''Alphinaud:''' And for that, we need an airship─''your'' airship, Cid.

'''Cid:''' I...I have...an airship?

'''Alphinaud:''' Yes, Cid, you do. Your very own airship.
'''Alphinaud:''' It was last seen in the skies over Gridania, not long before the Calamity, so let us begin our search there.

'''Cid:''' A-An airship...? My airship...?
'''Cid:''' W-Wait...

'''Alphinaud:''' Come, let us put an end to the primals! Together, we will show the world that the Scions are still a force to be reckoned with!

'''Cid:''' They need my airship... They need...me.

==Walkthrough==
The main scenario quest {{questlink|main|Lord of Crags}} is required to receive this quest, as is noted in the quest infobox.
-----
Defeat Titan-egi using your standard spells. He will spawn stone shivers, which will cast Slow and Stone II but have relatively low health. At low HP, Titan-egi will use a circle area of effect attack centered on itself. After you have defeated Titan-egi, a brief cutscene will play introducing the Dark Summoner. Your new goal is to defeat the Dark Summoner and his Ifrit-egi. Ifrit-egi will melee attack you or Y'mhitra, while the Dark Summoner will cast spells at you or Y'mhitra. You can attack either target here - Your goal is to survive past the Dark Summoner using several area of effect attacks. He will cast a large cone attack, followed by a mid-sized circle attack, and then repeat those two casts. There will be a brief pause in his casts, followed by another set of cone and circle casts, at which point the Dark Summoner will be defeated and the solo duty will be completed.

==Steps==
*Speak with Y'mhitra to the southwest of Alder Springs.
*Speak with Y'mhitra.
*Speak with Y'mhitra at Apkallu Falls.

==Journal==
*Y'mhitra, the researcher at Apkallu Falls, wishes you to proceed with the next summoning ritual.

*You have chosen to perform the Austerities of Earth. Speak with Y'mhitra southwest of Alder Springs in the North Shroud to begin the ritual, and attempt to bind a new egi to your will.

*After following Y'mhitra's instructions, you summon and defeat the entity known as Titan-Egi. However, before you are able to celebrate, you find yourself under assault by a man who also appears to be a summoner. Though you manage to force the stranger to retreat, you are left bewildered by the unprovoked attack. Speak with Y'mhita to see how she is faring in the aftermath.

*You have spoken to Y'mhitra and confirmed that she is sound of body. Return with her to Apkallu Falls in Gridania to discuss the encounter further.

*Y'mhitra, still somewhat shaken, wonders what could have motivated the haughty stranger's sudden attack. The researcher suggests that you spend some time exploring the capabilities of your new egi ally while she makes use of the Sons' resources to investigate the identity of the murderous summoner.
**The next summoner quest will be available from Y'mhitra upon reaching level 40.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Y'mhitra:''' Titan's essence infuses your aura, [Player]. I foresee no further obstacles preventing us from attempting the next ritual.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Shall we proceed with the Austerities of Earth? I have every confidence that you will succeed in binding Titan-Egi to your will.
'''Y'mhitra:''' According to my research, the most suitable location for the ritual is a place found to the southwest of Alder Springs in the North Shroud. A heretofore buried layer of ancient rock exposed by the violent upheavals of the Calamity has lent the surrounding area an overwhelming earthen aspect.
'''Y'mhitra:''' The conditions will be perfect. I will await you at our destination, [Player].
===Speaking to Y'mhitra===
'''Y'mhitra:''' The ritual you are about to perform is, essentially, no different from the Austerities of Flame.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Instead of fire, however, you will be concentrating on shifting your aetheric balance towards the spectrum of earth. Once you have achieved the required state of earthen affinity, the primal's captured essence will tumble forth and coalesce into the stony form of Titan-Egi.
'''Y'mhitra:''' As before, you must demonstrate unflinching authority if you would convince the newborn avatar to heed your command. Let us begin!
'''Solo duty'''
'''Y'mhitra the Learned:''' The mere presence of this egi is suffocating. It is as if the weight of a mountain presses upon my chest!
'''Y'mhitra the Learned:''' The entity has summoned allies of earth!
'''Y'mhitra the Learned:''' The aetheric flow...it shakes the very ground.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Y'mhitra:''' Oh, well done, [Player]!
'''???:''' I come in search of Allagan relics, and what do I find but a pair of incompetent dabblers. By what jest of fate did you chance across such undeserved power?
'''Y'mhitra:''' And who might you be, sir, to so boldly question our accomplishments?
'''???:''' If you have, indeed, unlocked the secrets of summoning, then you must be in possession of the very treasure I seek.
'''???:''' How terribly convenient. I need only slay you both and take what I need from your bloody corpses.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Gods below! A summoner!? But how!?
'''Dark Summoner:''' Cease your infantile prattle! The continuation of my divine work far outweighs the worth of your pitiful lives!
'''Solo duty'''
'''Dark Summoner:''' How fortunate to die by my hand! Naught but ash shall remain of your wretchedness!
'''Y'mhitra the Learned:''' Defend yourself, [Player]! His words are no empty threat!
'''Dark Summoner:''' You think to stand against me? Foolish bravado. You will burn nonetheless.
'''Y'mhitra the Learned:''' Be on your guard! His power is building!
'''Cutscene'''
'''Dark Summoner:''' Why do you struggle so?
'''Dark Summoner:''' Your unwillingness to accept oblivion but delays the inevitable!
'''Dark Summoner:''' Heed me, avatar of infernal flame! Incinerate these fools in all-consuming hellfire!
'''Dark Summoner:''' What!?
'''Y'mhitra:''' Feel nature's fury, you vile blackguard!
'''Dark Summoner:''' <grunt> I tire of this childish game. Thank your gods for granting you another day of miserable existence!
'''Y'mhitra:''' He's gone... What a decidedly unpleasant fellow.
===Speaking to Y'mhitra again===
'''Y'mhitra:''' Well, I suggest we return to Apkallu Falls——I have no desire to linger here and chance another encounter with...whomever that deranged mage was.
===Reporting back to Y'mhitra===
'''Y'mhitra:''' I must say, I did not expect to meet another practitioner of the summoning arts.
'''Y'mhitra:''' And I also did not expect to be suddenly fighting for my life. What precious treasure do we carry that this callous stranger was so willing to kill us to possess it?
'''Y'mhitra:''' Such mysteries aside, I am most glad you were able to secure Titan-Egi before the summoner decided to unleash his fiery avatar. Without its protection, I doubt we would have survived that conflagration.
'''Y'mhitra:''' The egi of earth——as was so aptly demonstrated——is not a force to be trifled with. You should certainly take the time to explore its capabilities, as well as its limitations. Be careful, however, not to neglect other magicks at your disposal.
'''Y'mhitra:''' Meanwhile, I shall confer with my colleagues in the Sons of Saint Coinach, and see what I might learn of that hostile summoner. We shall meet anon.

==Walkthrough==
The quest coordinates are deceiving - you actually need to find the dock storehouse and talk to [[Byakubu]] at (X:21.2 Y:26.6) to enter, then you are teleported to the quest location.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Oboro]] at the dock storehouse.

*Find [[Tsubame]].

*Speak with [[Oboro]].

*Speak with [[Oboro]] at the storehouse.

==Journal==
*Oboro would teach you what he can in what little time you have.

*Oboro teaches you four new mudra combinations that you can form with your newfound knowledge, but sadly lacks the time to explain, let alone demonstrate the precise nature of their effects and how they will serve you in battle. The task at hand is to see to Tsubame's safety. Return to the dock storehouse where Oboro awaits!

*You return to the docks to see signs that a battle was fought in your absence. Tsubame is missing, but Oboro suspects she is close by. Find her and attend to her wounds if she is injured as Oboro fears.

*As suspected, you find Tsubame in the clutches of Karasu, who while flogging her to near death, has seemingly seen fit to spare her life. Oboro utterly loses control of his emotions, turning against his foe in a blind, frenzied rage, which seems to please Karasu all the more. Suggesting that this is what he had hoped to see in his rival, the traitor agrees to a battle to the death─a battle in which Oboro and you prove victorious. Oboro is about to claim Karasu's life when your flamboyant foe spins a curious tale that suggests the true traitor of Doma was none other than the trusted teacher of the two shinobi, Master Gekkai. Oboro scoffs, dismissing Karasu's words as pathetic lies, but his expression betrays a heart in turmoil. Karasu cryptically reveals the name of a single location─Candlekeep Quay─before taking to the air and self-immolating in a burst of glory as his rival stands there nonplussed. Speak with Oboro and see how he has handled this unexpected turn of events.

*Understandably rattled by all that has transpired, a stupefied Oboro can only haltingly suggest that the two of you return to the dockhouse with Tsubame.

*While Oboro is reluctant to accept Karasu's words as truth, it appears that his rival's words have planted a seed of doubt in his mind. Give your teacher time to work through his crisis of confidence as you hone your ninjutsu skills to new heights.
**※The next ninja quest will be available from Oboro upon reaching level 50.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' You have now learned Jin, the final mudra that I can impart to you. Combine it with the mudra you have already mastered, and you will find four new ninjutsu techniques available to you. Time is short, so listen well.
'''Oboro:''' The first is Hyoton, ice release. Form Ten-Jin or Chi-Jin. The energies you summon will be channeled into a glacial floe.
'''Oboro:''' Second is Huton, wind release. Form Jin-Chi-Ten or Chi-Jin-Ten. The winds will gather and swirl around you.
'''Oboro:''' Third is Doton, earth release. Form Ten-Jin-Chi or Jin-Ten-Chi. The earth itself will move at your will.
'''Oboro:''' Finally, there is Suiton, release of water. Form Ten-Chi-Jin, or Chi-Ten-Jin. Water will course and flow through you.
'''Oboro:''' As for how each technique will avail you, I trust you will learn on the field of battle.
'''Oboro:''' Now, let us hurry! Tsubame is in danger!
===Speaking to Oboro again===
'''Oboro:''' Shuriken... A battle was fought here. I hear no sounds from within. Tsubame must be here, somewhere!
'''Oboro:''' Byakubu has lost his words from the shock. He can tell us nothing. Come, we must find Tsubame, and quickly!
===Aiding Tsubame - cutscene===
'''Oboro:''' Tsu-Tsubame!
'''Tsubame:''' It is...but a flesh...wound... <cough> O-Oboro... Look out!
'''???:''' Come now, little swallow. Say that it hurts...that you were scared... Tell the dim one how I took great pains to see that you were fully awake for every moment of agony and terror!
'''Oboro:''' Karasu! This time, you go too far!
'''Karasu:''' Yes, ''yes''! Those are the eyes I wanted to see! Let the anger, the hatred burn away any spot of doubt that remains in your heart!
'''Karasu:''' The fire in your eyes——resolve born from the all-consuming flames of rage and passion! The look in your eyes that day, when you looked on as your friends, your countrymen were massacred, powerless to end the slaughter!
'''Oboro:''' Gaaahhh!!! Be silent, be silent, BE SILENT, ''BE SILENT''!!!
'''Oboro:''' Tsubame, stand back. I shall slice this crow's tongue, then tear him limb from limb with my bare hands!
'''Karasu:''' Ahahaha! Such pure, unadulterated malice! Finally, you are an adversary worthy of my blade!
'''Karasu:''' The true shinobi——ever calm, dutiful to his master... Presence of mind... Yes, the first few times we met, you fought with all the passion of a mokujin. Today you stand before me as a man!
'''Karasu:''' You wanted a battle, and today you shall have one——no retreat, no reprieve. The defeated shall die like a dog, and the victor? The victor's tale will continue for another day...
'''Solo duty'''
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' This trembling... My heart will know no peace until you are gone from this world!
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' You look ''angry'', dear Oboro. Is it because I clipped your pretty swallow's wing?
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' Come, my pets——it is feeding time!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' A mudra of summoning!? ...This bodes ill. [Player], that magicked circle must be destroyed!
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' Gah! Your mind is nothing but ''noise'', Oboro! Purge your heart of all anger, all hatred, all compassion, all regret! Only in emptiness will you find the strength to defeat me!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' Again!? I don't want to see what's coming... Destroy that circle quickly, [Player]!
'''Cutscene'''
'''Oboro:''' ...Karasu Redbeak. In the name of our elders, I take your life as divine retribution for your crimes. Your bloodstained beak will feast on the innocent no more.
'''Karasu:''' ...Ahaha! Ahahahaha! Does he ''truly'' believe those words!? Ahaha! Aheahehaheaheaeha!
'''Karasu:''' Oh, yes, this beak is stained with blood...this I do not deny. But I am not the leader of this murderous flock.
'''Oboro:''' I tire of your riddles, Redbeak! Give me one reason why I should not separate your head from your shoulders!
'''Karasu:''' Oh, dear! What a pickle I find myself in! Now how can I put this in terms even the dim one can understand? I am not the traitor you seek. He is not I, and ''I'' am not ''he''.
'''Karasu:''' You believe I was the only one who fled Doma. Are you ''sure''? Absolutely ''certain''? Did you see the bodies——the ''faces''——of all your brothers who fell that day?
'''Karasu:''' Think, think, ''think''! I know it is not a strength of yours, but surely you remember! One body, maimed so badly that only the possessions could identify the man. And the ''face''——could it even be called a face? Naught but shattered bone and shredded flesh remained where once had been the proud features of...
'''Oboro:''' You ''LIE''!!! One more word... One more twisted, deceitful ''word'', Redbeak, and I will... I will...
'''Karasu:''' Ahahaha! Oh, Oboro——poor, sweet, ''stupid'' Oboro. How long will you continue to deceive yourself?
'''Oboro:''' You ''lie'', Redbeak, as you always have. Did betraying our homeland not sate your thirst for treachery? That now you must drag our master's name through the mud!? Answer me this, then: if you were not the traitor, then why did you flee the village that day?
'''Karasu:''' ...How often have I asked myself the same! Oh, how simpler things would have been had I been as naive as you! But the circumstances of Master Gekkai's death did not sit well with me. I left the village looking for answers, and found something far more interesting——our master himself, alive and well.
'''Karasu:''' In an instant, his hand was at my mouth and his blade at my neck. A simple choice he gave me: follow him and live, refuse and die.
'''Karasu:''' I would like to say I weighed my decision heavily, but the answer really was quite clear. Death is so ''final'', while life——even a life spent as an imperial spy——holds so many ''opportunities''.
'''Karasu:''' What's the matter, dim one? Do you still find my tale hard to swallow? Oh, believe as you will——redemption means little to a dead man.
'''Karasu:''' You ''are'' going to kill me, yes? That ''is'' your mission, after all. Sworn in the sight of the elders, tradition and custom, and so on and so forth?
'''Karasu:''' ...Candlekeep Quay. When the time is right, he will come, and all will be revealed. ...I just thought I'd tell the one who's shown himself/herself capable of listening to reason.
'''Karasu:''' The lights grow dim! The stars turn black in the sky! Our hero fought——fought bravely, even——but his chapter in this grand mummery has come to a close... Summoning his last breaths, our hero...speaks...
'''Karasu:''' Just promise me this, Oboro. Whatever your mission, should you fail, just don't go off ''dying''. I know how fond you are of tradition, but this is a new era, and we are not our ancestors. Besides, such an end just wouldn't become a solemn youth like yourself.
'''Karasu:''' So ''live'', and leave the dying to those who can do it in style. Yes, I may not have been the hero I thought I was, nor the villain you would have me be, but from beginning to end, I was ''me'', and there is nothing I would rather be. Farewell, cruel world, and good bloody riddance!
'''Oboro:''' Wait... Karasu!!!
'''Oboro:''' What can this all mean...?
===Speaking to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' Karasu is dead, our mission complete. Yet you will forgive me if I am unsure how to feel about this turn of events...
'''Oboro:''' In any event, there is nothing more to be done here. Tsubame is wounded. Let us bring her home.
===Speaking to Oboro again===
'''Oboro:''' The mission that brought me to Eorzea is complete. Once Tsubame's wounds heal, we have no reason to sojourn further in these lands.
'''Oboro:''' And yet, if Karasu spoke true... No... It simply cannot be...

*Forgemaster Brithael has had to take on more smithing than he can anvil.

*Brithael's love of drink has caught up with him, as he appears to be suffering from a prolonged hangover. Unfortunately, this means that he is in no condition to fill Faezahr's latest commission. Offer your services to the merchant on behalf of the forgemaster.

*The steel bhuj Faezahr seeks to have forged is intended as a present for his favorite axeman, and he will accept nothing less than the finest quality. Craft the item to the best of your ability and present it to Faezahr for inspection.

*Your bhuj elicits an uncharacteristic expression of bloodlust from Faezahr, though he manages to quickly regain his composure. Once again impressed with your fine display of craftsmanship, the merchant hints that he will have more work for you in future.

==Journal==
*Lyngsath wants you to cook for a distinguished guest in his stead.

*You learn that Lord Lolorito, one of Ul'dah's most powerful men, has announced his intention to dine at the Bismarck. Apparently, the man is a self-styled food critic, notorious for using his influence to ruin restaurants that fail to satisfy his rarefied needs. In an unfortunate turn of events, Lyngsath has injured his hand, and it falls to you to represent the Bismarck in his stead. In order to learn more about your distinguished guest, the guildmaster recommends you speak with Diving Dove, a native of Ul'dah.

*You learn from Diving Dove that Lolorito's butler, a fellow by the name of Nonopesa, is presently at the Bismarck. Seek him out and endeavor to discover what manner of cuisine his master may be craving.

*For a blessing, Nonopesa turns out to be a personable fellow, and you learn from him that Lolorito currently has a hankering for a hearty meal of meat. As per the butler's recommendation, prepare a haunch of smoked raptor of the finest quality, and deliver it to him.

*Nonopesa is deeply impressed by your smoked raptor. You, in turn, are deeply impressed by his ability to judge food without taking a single bite. What was it that Diving Dove said about Ul'dahn cuisine...? At any rate, it would seem your cooking will satisfy even the exacting requirements of the great Lord Lolorito. Bear the glad tidings to Lyngsath.

*Nonopesa's high opinion of your food serves to put Lyngsath at ease. The guildmaster thanks you for safeguarding the future of the guild, and proceeds to liken you to his trusty left hand. Keep up your efforts, and you may yet become one of the realm's finest culinarians.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Lyngsath:''' Bollocks! Me 'and! 'Ow in the seven 'ells am I meant to cook with one bloody 'and!? Gah! Of all the godsdamned times I could've 'urt it, why'd it 'ave to be ''now''!?
'''Lyngsath:''' Forgive me language, son/[?]. Don't worry——it ain't serious. ...Well, it is a ''bit'' serious, to tell the truth.
'''Lyngsath:''' I've gone an' knackered me 'and tryin' to catch a fallin' crate, see. It'll 'eal an' all, but it 'urts like a bastard. Can't so much as scratch me arse with it, never mind 'old a skillet. Wouldn't be so bad, but we got usselves a bigwig comin' to dine today——one o' the most powerful men in Ul'dah!
'''Lyngsath:''' Now, I've been in the business fer decades, an' I ain't no stranger to coddled dignitaries what whine about the color of the bloody crockery, an' 'ow there's too much parsley garnish on top o' their soup. But this ain't no ordinary coddled dignitary we're dealin' with.
'''Lyngsath:''' This one fancies 'imself as a food critic, an' 'e's ''always'' out to find fault, real or not.
'''Lyngsath:''' An' that ain't the worst of it. Owin' to 'is influence, 'e's driven more'n a few respectable establishments into the ground. Fer this 'e's earned 'imself the name o' "Chefsbane" in culinary circles.
'''Lyngsath:''' Each time the man's dined at the Bismarck, I've personally done the cookin' so as to avert disaster.
'''Lyngsath:''' Don't get me wrong——I've got complete trust in all me chefs, but if the Bismarck goes under, the guild goes with it. An' that ain't a burden I can put on just anyone's shoulders.
'''Lyngsath:''' But this time, someone else's gonna 'ave to fill in fer me...an' I wants that someone to be ''you'', [Player]. Ye've proven yerself more than capable, an' in 'igh-pressure situations besides. I'm confident ye won't let us down.
'''Lyngsath:''' Ye'd do well to begin by talkin' with Divin' Dove. Bein' a native of Ul'dah, might be as she knows somethin' o' the Chefsba——I mean, ''Lord Lolorito''.
===Speaking to Diving Dove===
'''Diving Dove:''' Aye, I'm aware of the situation. But don't panic——though the guildmaster is indisposed, all is not yet lost.
'''Diving Dove:''' In case you're unfamiliar with our distinguished guest, he is the head of the East Aldenard Trading Company. Though you may not have heard that name before, you will almost certainly have heard of the many famous brands it owns, such as Eshtaime's Lapidaries and Sunsilk Tapestries.
'''Diving Dove:''' Lord Lolorito's countless successes have made him the wealthiest man in Ul'dah——a place where wealth and influence are synonymous. It goes without saying that he has a seat on the Syndicate, the cabal that rules the sultanate. Ah, lest you wonder, Ul'dah is only notionally a sultanate these days...
'''Diving Dove:''' ''Anyway'', as is often the way with men of means, Lord Lolorito is a lover of fine cuisine. And as the guildmaster doubtless mentioned, he's made a name for himself as a ruthless food critic.
'''Diving Dove:''' The man has a penchant for making life miserable for us chefs. Indeed, he ''never'' places an order, but demands instead that you "impress him." And therein lies our first dilemma: what to serve?
'''Diving Dove:''' Lest you think the fates unduly mischievous, I'm happy to report that the odds are not ''wholly'' stacked against us. It just so happens that Lolorito's butler, a fellow by the name of Nonopesa, is dining at the Bismarck at this very moment.
'''Diving Dove:''' This is a golden chance to learn what manner of dish Lolorito craves. Go to Nonopesa on the terrace, and try to coax the information out of him. Good luck!
===Speaking to Nonopesa===
'''Nonopesa:''' I'm sorry? I think I may have misheard. Did you say that ''you'' would be preparing Lord Lolorito's meal? Well...this is rather unexpected. But if Master Lyngsath saw fit to entrust the task to you, then you must not be without skill.
'''Nonopesa:''' Hm? You wish to know what my master desires to eat? Hah hah hah! ''Finally'' it occurs to someone to ask me that question!
'''Nonopesa:''' It is my duty to see that my lord never wants for comfort, and naught pleases me more than to see Lord Lolorito in high spirits. As such, I should be glad to share with you what I know.
'''Nonopesa:''' Shortly prior to arriving in Limsa Lominsa, my master spoke of being seized by a craving for a hearty meal of meat. Though he did not mention a specific dish, I happen to know that smoked raptor is a particular favorite of his. Needless to say, a man of such refined taste as he would expect no less than the ''finest'' sample of the dish. I hope this information serves you well.
'''Nonopesa:''' Lord Lolorito is due to conclude his business negotiations presently, and will desire to take his meal thereafter. Once the smoked raptor is ready, pray bring it to me. I shall see it delivered to my master.
===Delivering item to Nonopesa===
'''Nonopesa:''' Remember: Lord Lolorito will accept nothing less than the best. Your smoked raptor must be the finest example of the dish, prepared with the utmost skill.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Nonopesa:''' Ah, the smoked raptor is ready? Good. Now, I trust you won't object to an inspection. Lest you worry about your handiwork being defaced, my years serving Lord Lolorito have taught me how to taste with sight and smell alone.
'''Nonopesa:''' By the gods... This raptor is ''sublime''!
'''Nonopesa:''' The marriage of cracked pepper and sun lemon begets an irresistible fragrance that perfectly complements the aroma of the meat.
'''Nonopesa:''' The flavor is rounded out with the mellow fruitiness of olive oil, which also lends the shank a lustrous sheen that tantalizes the eye.
'''Nonopesa:''' I have presided over Lord Lolorito's dining table for many years...
'''Nonopesa:''' And I can say without reservation that this is the most delectable smoked raptor I have ever had the pleasure of ''not'' eating!
'''Nonopesa:''' It is of little wonder that Master Lyngsath deemed you fit to cook in his stead——I doubt that even he could have delivered a better rendition of my master's favorite dish. You, sir/[?], are quite a culinarian.
'''Nonopesa:''' ...Ah, but I sense you are more relieved than flattered. Hardly surprising, I suppose. Much and more is said of my lord's "uncompromising" approach to cuisine.
'''Nonopesa:''' While I will not refute the rumors, you may rest assured that the Bismarck has no cause to worry.
'''Nonopesa:''' Now then, if you will excuse me, I must see my lord's meal delivered to him.
'''Nonopesa:''' You may look forward to hearing his judgmment anon——and entirely without trepidation, if my senses do not fail me. Pray send Master Lyngsath my compliments.
===Reporting back to Lyngsath===
'''Lyngsath:''' Ye did it, [Player]! You impressed the pants off Lolorito's butler!
'''Lyngsath:''' Nonopesa knows 'is master's tastes better'n 'is own, an' 'is approval's all the assurance I need. The guild's safe, an' it's all thanks to you!
'''Lyngsath:''' Ye never cease to amaze me, [Player]. Ye came to us with nary any knowledge of cookin', an' now yer like a second left 'and!
'''Lyngsath:''' ...Well, that didn't come out right. What I meant to say was, yer as useful as the 'and I 'old me skillet with——summat no culinarian can do without.
'''Lyngsath:''' Ye've got it in ye to be one o' the finest chefs in the realm, an' I would see ye fulfill yer potential. Promise me ye'll keep at yer cookin'.

==Journal==
*Sisipu would have you learn a new technique.

*Using the technique the acting guildmaster has termed "fishwheeling" (more widely known as mooching), you are to use a crayfish ball to catch a large-sized striped goby, and then recast the goby in order to catch a shadow catfish. The fish can be found in the waters surrounding Fallgourd Float in the North Shroud.

*Sisipu expresses her gratitude for the shadow catfish and seems genuinely impressed by how far you have come in the field of fishing.
**※The next fisher quest will be available from Sisipu upon reaching level 30.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Sisipu:''' You're familiar with the Culinarians' Guild, aren't you, [Player]? If you couldn't tell by its supercilious name, their members are a finicky bunch, particularly the fussy Master Lyngsath.
'''Sisipu:''' So when he comes asking for shadow catfish, no other fish will do, even if I kindly explain that fishing one out involves an arduous journey to Fallgourd Float followed by grueling labor. Naturally, I thought of you for the task.
'''Sisipu:''' This will likely require a bit of "fishwheeling," if you know what I mean, though I imagine you do not, as I just invented that word. It means recasting a fish you've just caught as bait for a yet larger fish.
'''Sisipu:''' In my wisdom, I have deemed that your fishing prowess, land-faring acumen, and physical presence directly in front of me quality you as the ideal candidate for the job.
'''Sisipu:''' I have no doubts you'll be more than amply capable of fishwheeling or any other new terms I see fit to conjure up, for that matter.
'''Sisipu:''' Simply use crayfish balls to catch a striped goby, then recast that to catch the shadow catfish.
'''Sisipu:''' Take it from the inventor of fishwheeling: since the striped goby will become your lure, you'll want to catch the biggest, shiniest one you can find.
'''Sisipu:''' A long journey lies ahead of you, and I fear the guild will not be the same in your absence. However, I choose to think of it not as losing a friend, but gaining a shadow catfish. Good luck!
===Delivering item to Sisipu===
'''Sisipu:''' You'll find the catfish you seek at Fallgourd Float in the North Shroud. Mayhap it's a tad presumptuous to say you ''will'' find one, but that's where they are, at any rate.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Sisipu:''' Lyngsath ought to crack a smile when he glimpses this beauty.
'''Sisipu:''' They say never to look a gift fish in the mouth, but one can't help but stare at that gaping grimace——it looks like it could swallow a person whole!
'''Sisipu:''' I'm sure the fish of Gridania are none to displeased to see this one leave the water.
'''Sisipu:''' I heard that yarzons covet the fish too, sometimes migrating north and attacking fishermen in hopes of stealing the catch. Suppose I should've warned you about that ahead of time.
'''Sisipu:''' Still, I don't see what all the fuss is about. For all the lengths one need travel and dangers one need brave, the fish tastes little better than mud...
'''Wawalago:''' Pssst! Pardon me, but perhaps I might persuade you to prepare them in a proper bath? Water washes off the waste you can wipe away, but the invisible vapors only vanish with vinegar! You must mind the mud you can't see.
'''Sisipu:''' Speaking of the mud you can't see, where did you come out of all of a sudden!?
'''Wawalago:''' A good guildmaster gusts in an goes out a gale. Now you see me, now you don't!
'''Sisipu:''' Actually, I think we both still see you standing right there.
'''Sisipu:''' But that's neither here nor there. [Player]——there are few fishermen who could haul in the catch you did today.
'''Sisipu:''' Frankly, I've started to wonder how we ever got along without you!

*Redolent Rose has received another commission from a regular customer.

*Wawarukka has requested your services as a weaver once more. Speak with him on Onyx Lane to learn more about the commission.

*The miner explains that his previous attempt to woo Kokomo ended in failure. However, he refuses to give up, and intends to approach her wearing a new ensemble. He bids you prepare a high-quality linen shirt for this purpose. Craft the item as requested and deliver it to Redolent Rose.

*To compensate for his ignorance of Ul'dahn fashion, Wawarukka enlisted the help of his friends when preparing his new outfit. Alas, the end result is a veritable hodgepodge of conflicting designs, and your linen shirt is no exception. Unable to stop the miner yet again, Redolent Rose falls to his knees and cries out in despair, only to rise to his feet moments later and excuse himself.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Redolent Rose:''' Greetings, [Player]. If you've the time to spare, there is a task I would like to assign you.
'''Redolent Rose:''' Wawarukka has requested your services once more. It seems his previous attempt to woo Kokomo met with disastrous results, as I predicted.
'''Redolent Rose:''' It would be best if he told you the rest. Now run along. You know where to find him.
===Speaking to Wawarukka===
'''Wawarukka:''' Hey there, [Player]. So what'd Big Rose tell you? That the Brass Blades chased me all over town? Well, it wasn't ''that'' bad, but Kokomo's pa did run me off, callin' me a disgustin' pervert an' whatnot.
'''Wawarukka:''' But I ain't givin' up on her that easily, no sir! She's something else, my darlin' Kokomo...
'''Wawarukka:''' See, one day I was makin' a delivery to Babawai's shop, when these two boys walk in an' start hasslin' the customers an' staff. So I confront the youngin's, and it gets a little heated. Long story short, I have to make 'em leave.
'''Wawarukka:''' I'm a little roughed up at this point, as you might expect. Then here comes Kokomo, all grace an' splendor, thankin' me for what I done. An' when our eyes meet, I suddenly realize that I can't hear a word she's sayin', 'cause my heart's poundin' harder an' fiercer than the Hammers.
'''Wawarukka:''' Till then, she was just a nice young girl helpin' her father. But then she had to go an' look at me like that, an' I—— <sigh> I wanted to say somethin', but my words left me that day. But I can do it, [Player]! I just...I just need to do it properly——like a gentleman!
'''Wawarukka:''' After talkin' with me mates in the bar, I'm thinkin' a more conservative approach is in order. If I wore, say, a quality linen shirt, it would show that I'm a responsible, respectable man. I'll meet you at the guild for the fittin' as usual, alright?
===Delivering item to Redolent Rose===
'''Redolent Rose:''' Have you made your client's shirt yet? He seems quite eager to try it on.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Redolent Rose:''' Well, I think we can all agree this is far more appropriate than a leather harness!
'''Wawarukka:''' Cor! This is perfect! I never knew fancy clothes could be so comfortable!
'''Redolent Rose:''' SIR! Could...could you please explain how you chose those other garments!?
'''Wawarukka:''' Well, the hat belongs to a goldsmith I know. Says it makes me look smarter an' whatnot.
'''Wawarukka:''' The subligar is courtesy of another miner. He reckons that us men what work the mines ought to flaunt our chiseled bodies——like this——an' that trousers are overrated.
'''Wawarukka:''' The gauntlets an' boots are the best-sellin' wares at me armorer friend's shop. Bit gaudy if you ask me, but if everyone else thinks 'em fashionable, who am I to tell 'em different?
'''Wawarukka:''' Impressive, ain't it? You don't have to tell me——I can see you think the same.
'''Wawarukka:''' Gods, I've been such a fool! I should've asked me mates for advice from the start!
'''Redolent Rose:''' BUT, SIR——I SAY, SIR!
'''Redolent Rose:''' How can he be so blind!? It's absolutely, totally, and in all other ways ''inconceivable''!

*Kazagg Chah has further guidance for you as you walk the path of the black mage.

*Kazagg Chah asks that you travel to the South Shroud. Once there, find and investigate the mossy pillar.

*The mossy pillar has revealed its secrets to you. Speak to 269th Order Mendicant Da Za in Urth's Gift of the South Shroud.

*269th Order Mendicant Da Za instructs you to return to Burgundy Falls and speak once more with Dozol Meloc.

*Dozol Meloc directs you to next speak with Kazagg Chah at Burgundy Falls.

*Kazagg Chah is relieved that the Gloom has been scattered, and is greatly pleased by the power of darkness that has grown within you.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest - cutscene===
'''Kazagg Chah:''' [Player]. It is well you are here. My colleagues Dozol Meloc and Da Za would have words with you. Wait here while I fetch them.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' To close voidgate, strong black magic you need. Ready for test, are you?
'''Are you ready to close the voidgate?'''
* Yes
[?]
* No
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Fool! Squaaawk! But no matter. Sharp sense, Dozol has. Your aura. Strangeness, it has.

'''Dozol Meloc:''' Now, the voidgate. Gloom, it makes. Like black breath. Gloom drawn to black magic. Drawn to you. Like moth to flame. Black magic, it seeks, to corrupt and make own.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Losing strength, seal is. Black magic and voidgate share bond. Very deep. But must not leave be too long. Else other side maybe take you! Squaw-aw-awk.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' No fear yet! Still weak, Gloom is. Time, you have. Strong [Player] find next key!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Teach you, Dozol will, what must do.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Many black mages, there were. Long ago. One more powerful than rest. Very powerful. Epic, even. Epic black mage.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Black magic too powerful. Too dangerous. Wrong hands must not have. Know this, he did. Ciphered spells. Hid secrets. Dark way passed to few. Very few.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Teaching, writing, spread over realm. Lost to time, they were. Forgotten. One carved in stone. Stone of mossy pillar. Pillar in South Shroud. Squaaawk!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Chosen [Player] is chosen! Unleash power of this black magic, you can. Key, it is! Key to end of Gloom!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Knowledge of my line, this is. Passed to Dozol from mother. From mother of mother. From mother of mother of mother. Four hatchings past. Strong mage, she was. Epic, even. Epic mage!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Great love for dark art. More than anything. Joined with lizardmen to learn all. Named betrayer, she was. Chased from village. Squaaawk! Her words, Dozol keeps. Teach to strong [Player] now.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' "Four magi meet, in barren land, Old black powers have they, in hand. Fate of all wicked, be made stark. Path to light then lit by squaaawk!" That her squawk. Not Dozol squawk. Should be ''dark'', Dozol thinks.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Good words. Deep words. Bring Dozol here, they did. To pass on. Not Dozol alone. Others come too. Other mages.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Birdman. Lizardman. No matter. All wait for strong [Player]. Strong mind, you have, and heart. Help you, Dozol will.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Go to Gridania, you must. To Urth's Gift. Near pillar lurking beasts, there are. Slay them, you must. No need fear beast. Strong [Player] is strong!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Da Za! Squaaawk!
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' I, too, am here to lend you my aid——help, hand, aid.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Wood danger for Dozol. For Ixal, Wailers wait. Wait with sharp spears. Go in place of Dozol, Da Za will.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Decided, it is. Go now, you will! Squaaawk!
===Interacting with the stone pillar===
'''System:''' A stone pillar covered in moss rises here.
'''System:''' The Gem of Shatotto shines bright, revealing an inscription in the stone. As you approach it, you hear a voice ring out...
'''???:''' By the gem thou bearest shall the great and dark power of eld be bestowed upon thee. But those who seek this power must first prove their worth. Behold, the Gloom that would be thine undoing cometh!
'''???:''' Stay the Gloom's encroach by thy hand. Only then shall the umbral wisdom of the ages be gifted unto thee.
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' That voice spoke true. Look! The Gloom gathers, [Player]. I sense there are fiends of evil about——nearby, close, about.
'''Solo duty'''
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' The Gloom will change into great horrors if left unchecked. You must stop it with your black magic——spells, sorcery, magic.
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' The Gloom has birthed fiends, [Player]. Be careful——cautious, wary, careful.
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' More fiends come! Worry not, the tide will turn——shift, change, turn.
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' Do not falter, [Player]! We must endure——rally, persevere, endure!
===Speaking to 269th Order Mendicant Da Za===
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' Well fought! The Gloom is scattered! Scattered is the Gloom!
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' Let us return to Burgundy Falls. Yes, yes, Dozol Meloc awaits us——you, me, us.
===Reporting back to Dozol Meloc===
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Gone from you, Gloom is. Worry for nothing, Dozol did!
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Squaaawk! Now go see Kazagg Chah, you must. Awaiting you, he is.
===Reporting back to Kazagg Chah===
'''Kazagg Chah:''' The gods are good to return you unharmed. The Gloom which threatened to taint this world does so no more. And I sense the darkness within you is reborn with a new power.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' Wield it well, [Player] of the black, and make of it a tool for our ends. Do that, and as the prophecy speaks, the way to light shall be lit by dark before you.

* Fufucha appears to be in some distress.

* Much to Fufucha's dismay, the guild's crop of alligator pears has been devastated by vermin, and, to make matters worse, she has just received a sizable order for said fruit from the Carline Canopy. All hope is not lost, however, for the pears are known to grow in the wilderness. Solyeux at Bentbranch Meadows should be able to point you in their general direction.

* According to Solyeux, wild alligator pears grow in an area northeast of Quarrymill. Harvest fifteen fruits and deliver them to Fufucha.

* Thanks to your tireless efforts, Miounne will be able to offer her new salad as planned. Though you have saved the day, Fufucha reminds you that nature is capricious, and that her bounty cannot be taken for granted. Keeping these words close to heart, you continue your journey along the path of the botanist.
** ※The next botanist quest will be available from Fufucha upon reaching level 35.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Fufucha:''' I fear we have a situation on our hands, [Player]. The guild's crop of alligator pears has been ravaged by vermin——and scarcely a day before the fruit was due to be picked.
'''Fufucha:''' It is disheartening to see our labors come to naught, but such is the way of nature.
'''Fufucha:''' Alas, our woes do not end there. In a fine example of ill timing, no sooner had the disaster come to light than we received an ''unusually'' large order for, yes, alligator pears from the Carline Canopy.
'''Fufucha:''' Yet all hope is not lost, for the fruit also grows in the wild. We need but find enough to fulfill the order——fifteen, to be precise.
'''Fufucha:''' Our man Solyeux is charged with keeping track of such produce as may be harvested in the Twelveswood. He spends most of his days around Bentbranch Meadows at this time of year.
'''Fufucha:''' If there are alligator pears out there, he will know where to find them. Pray seek him out, [Player], and do as he directs.
===Speaking to Solyeux===
'''Solyeux:''' Looking for alligator pears? Aye, I heard the unfortunate tidings. Yet all we can do is take it on the chin and cope as best we can.
'''Solyeux:''' I recommend you search northeast of Quarrymill. Wild alligator pears grow there, and were doing well when I last passed through. Barring pests, they should be ripe for picking right about now.
'''Solyeux:''' Oh, and just so you know, the place you're going is no different from any other untamed corner of the Twelveswood——by which I mean it's full of nasties. Botanists like myself avoid the area if we can help it, but it should be as a walk through a flower garden for an adventurer like you.
'''Solyeux:''' Now, you had best be on your way. Those alligator pears aren't going to pick themselves.
===Delivering items to Fufucha===
'''Fufucha:''' I trust you now know where alligator pears are found in nature. Please hurry, [Player]. It would not do to keep our client waiting.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Fufucha:''' Fifteen alligator pears, and just in the nick of time! You have spared us Miounne's wrath.
'''Fufucha:''' Lest you misunderstand, Miounne is a reasonable woman...ordinarily. It is just that much rests upon the fruit's availability. Alligator pears are to form the centerpiece of a new dish of hers, you see, a hearty salad which she has been promoting feverishly to adventurers far and wide.
'''Fufucha:''' Miounne would ''not'' have been best pleased had her plans gone awry. But owing to your efforts, she can keep her promise, and we our good reputation. My profoundest thanks, [Player].
'''Fufucha:''' I trust you have learned a valuable lesson from this episode. Namely, that we must not take nature's bounty for granted.
'''Fufucha:''' As I taught you when you first came to us, nature is an unsentimental creature. She may provide for our every need today, only to take it all away on the morrow.
'''Fufucha:''' Those would walk the path of botany must come to terms with this fact, and the sooner the better. For should your labors prove fruitless——and they frequently shall——no amount of brooding will avail you.
'''Fufucha:''' At such times, one must remember that for all her seeming cruelty, nature is not our enemy. She simply ''is''. If you would become intimate with her and partake of her bounty, you must learn to accept her unconditionally.

*Though he understands the responsibilities Gairhard has as a Twin Adder captain, he nevertheless exhibits an uncharacteristic worry upon hearing of his friend's latest mission. Brushing aside his concerns, he states that you will speak again when next he receives a commission for you.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Beatin:''' Well, well, if it isn't [Player]! You grow more popular with every commission.
'''Beatin:''' Take that walnut cane, for example. You remember, don't you? The one you crafted not long ago.
'''Beatin:''' It must have left quite the impression on Gairhard, because he has once again requested your services.
'''Beatin:''' This time, he would have you craft an oak longbow——a ''quality'' longbow, but I presume you already knew that.
'''Beatin:''' Gairhard's squad is considered one of the finest units in the Yellow Serpents. They are oft tasked with dangerous missions which carry them deep into hostile territory.
'''Beatin:''' Our soldiers should never want for the best materiel. I trust you will not disappoint, [Player].
===Delivering item to Beatin===
'''Beatin:''' Have you the longbow, [Player]?
'''Cutscene'''
'''Beatin:''' Marvelous, simply marvelous!
'''Beatin:''' Some carpenters claim that oak is ill-suited for use in longbows, and that other woods are far preferable.
'''Beatin:''' But I would say you've chosen your materials well. This particular specimen is both hard and elastic, and I see no reason to believe it will take a permanent bend.
'''Beatin:''' Of course, we have ''you'' to thank for that. The finest materials are nothing without a skilled craftsman to mold them.
'''Beatin:''' Indeed, this longbow is a testament to your ever-growing skills.
'''Beatin:''' Gairhard will approve. You may take it to him at the Adders' Nest.
===Delivering item to Gairhard===
'''Gairhard:''' Ah, [Player]! Do you have that longbow I requested?
'''Gairhard:''' My word! I see my faith in you was not misplaced.
'''Gairhard:''' I have a young archer under my command who will be thrilled to receive this.
'''Gairhard:''' It's of critical importance that my squad keeps its weapons and armor in good shape. Our reconnaissance missions often require that we spend weeks in isolation, without any form of support.
'''Gairhard:''' In fact, we leave for our next mission on the morrow. Unfortunately, this means I must once again postpone my visit to the guild.
'''Gairhard:''' If Beatin complains, just give him a piece of quality lumber on my behalf. That should provide ample distraction. He's always been more passionate about his work than anything else...
'''Gairhard:''' But I imagine you learned that long ago. Until we meet again, [Player].
===Reporting back to Beatin===
'''Beatin:''' Gairhard was satisfied, then? Good, good...
'''Beatin:''' Hm? Another mission?
'''Beatin:''' I...I understand. We are both professionals, with responsibilities that cannot be ignored. Even so, it always gives me cause for worry.
'''Beatin:''' I do not question his ability as a commander or as an archer. But, irrational as it may be, I...
'''Beatin:''' Ah, forgive me. I am cursed with an overactive imagination. It is nothing, never mind.
'''Beatin:''' We shall speak again when next I have a commission for you.

*Serendipity has another commission for you.

*Once again, Roroton has decided to request your services by name. Craft a high-quality horn staff and present it to Serendipity for inspection.

*Gigi and Serendipity both agree that your growth as a goldsmith is undeniable. Since you have not spoken with Roroton in some time, Serendipity suggests that you deliver the staff in person. Seek out the merchant at the Ruby Road Exchange in the Steps of Nald.

*Roroton is happy to see you again, and is surprised that you have already finished the staff. Your conversation soon turns to the topic of the Jade Fox, a legendary thief and master of disguise rumored to have come to Ul'dah. Roroton urges you and your guildmates to be careful, as the Jade Fox is known to have a penchant for fine jewelry. Report to Serendipity at the Goldsmiths' Guild and inform her that the commission is complete.

*Serendipity congratulates you on another successful assignment, and echoes Roroton's warning about the Jade Fox. However, she states that you need not worry about any commissions made through the Goldsmiths' Guild, as she will personally scrutinize each and every customer. Whether or not her confidence is justified remains to be seen...

*The next goldsmith quest will be available from Serendipity upon reaching level 45."

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Serendipity:''' Good to see you again! You'll be pleased to know that Gigi is completely back to normal. Why, when Roroton was here not too long ago, he only had to contend with Gigi's traditional repertoire of insults.
'''Serendipity:''' You know what I mean, I'm sure——that Roroton was a hopeless fool, that he was completely devoid of artistic sensibilities, that he smelt of rolanberries——that sort of thing.
'''Serendipity:''' Oh, don't get me wrong; it was still terribly distressing. ''But'', at least there was no more talk of fires.
'''Serendipity:''' Anyway, as for why Roroton was here in the first place, he wished to commission you once more——this time, for a horn staff. It goes without saying that he desires a staff of the highest quality, so please bear that in mind before you present your work to me for inspection. Good luck!
===Delivering item to Serendipity===
'''Serendipity:''' Oh, have you finished the horn staff already?

'''Serendipity:''' Hm. That's extremely high praise! At least, I think it is...
'''Serendipity:''' But there is one thing that I can say with certainty: this particular commission has made it even easier than usual to evaluate your growth. After all, the fire brand you made before required you to work with many of the same materials, so this is a perfect opportunity to see how your technique has improved since then.
'''Serendipity:''' Although both were carved from aldgoat horn and adorned with an eye of fire, I would say that this staff is much more refined by comparison.
'''Serendipity:''' The wolf fangs flaring from the tip are the coup de grâce, not only strengthening the thaumaturgical properties of the weapon, but also improving the wielder's ability to cut an imposing figure!
'''Serendipity:''' Why don't you deliver this commission to Roroton at the Ruby Road Exchange personally? It's been a while since you last met, so I'm sure he'd be happy to see you.
===Delivering item to Roroton===
'''Roroton:''' Why, if it isn't [Player]! You're a hard man/woman to find. As it happens, I had another commission for you. Mistress Serendipity has the details. Or would you prefer that I tell you?
'''Roroton:''' You've already crafted the horn staff!? Beg your pardon, I had no idea!
'''Roroton:''' I appreciate you came to deliver it. I was dreading the inevitable encounter with that irrepressible mammet.
'''Roroton:''' Don't misunderstand——it's not that I'm offended. On the contrary, his assessment of my abilities is harsh but fair. He reminds me that I have much and more to learn before I can call myself a connoisseur of the fine arts.
'''Roroton:''' And in times like these, ignorance can be a fatal failing——especially if the rumors sweeping the markets are to be given credence.
'''Roroton:''' Surely you've heard them as well. This talk of the Jade Fox?
'''Roroton:''' Aye, the legendary thief has come to Ul'dah at last. A master of disguise, whose identity is a complete mystery. There is but one thing on which everyone can agree: that his lust for fine jewelry is insatiable!
'''Roroton:''' So you must understand why a merchant like me would feel ill at ease. There is no greater enemy to the industrious businessman than a dastardly thief who would steal his wares without compunction.
'''Roroton:''' You and your fellow goldsmiths should take care. In fact, it would not surprise me in the slightest if the Jade Fox were to turn his attentions toward ''you''.
===Reporting back to Serendipity===
'''Serendipity:''' Welcome back, [Player]! I hope the staff was to Roroton's satisfaction.
'''Serendipity:''' Congratulations on a job well done, then! Oh, but before you go, I've recently been informed that a dangerous thief has come to Ul'dah, and that we goldsmiths might be the target of his machina——
'''Serendipity:''' What? You've already heard about the Jade Fox!? Well now, aren't ''we'' well informed!
'''Serendipity:''' Anyway, I must urge you to be cautious when dealing with new customers. The Jade Fox may disguise himself as one in an attempt to defraud you! As for the guild, rest assured that I will personally scrutinize anyone who seeks to commission our goldsmiths. And I am an ''excellent'' judge of character!
'''Serendipity:''' What was that? Did I just hear you ''snicker'', [Player]? And I thought you respected your kind and lovely guildmaster...

*Consult with the militia captain.

*Speak with Curious Gorge.

==Journal==
*Curious Gorge has revealed to you his tribe's tragic history. It turns out that his ancestors came to be shunned when the people they would protect came to view the warriors themselves as beasts more savage than the fiends they would slay. Vowing to win back his tribe's good name by his own hand, Curious Gorge asks you to assist him in the defense of the village of Wineport. Travel there and receive a briefing from the militia captain.

*Curious Gorge will lead the defense at the west gate, while you have been tasked with defending the east. Keep lookout and let not a single fiend into the village!

*The fiends have been driven off and the east gate secured. Report to the militia captain.

*Despite his efforts on the village's behalf, Curious Gorge received not a hero's welcome, but a reception worthy of the most terrible of monsters. Might the captain have some insight into the source of the people's fear?

*The militia captain expresses his gratitude for your efforts and assures you that he will clear up the villagers' misunderstanding regarding Curious Gorge. Return to Hidden Falls and reunite with your mentor.

*Having regained his composure, Curious Gorge theorizes that a misunderstanding like unto that which arose at Wineport might be at the root of his tribe's disgrace. He would ask you to continue training while he continues to scour the ancient words for further insight.

*The next warrior quest will be available from Curious Gorge upon reaching level 45.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Curious Gorge:''' Hello again, my friend. It is quite obvious that you have been anything but idle in your training since last we met. Your progress is heartening to look upon, truly...but it also serves to remind me that each hour I spend poring over ancient texts is an hour not spent honing my skills. I fear my worth on the battlefield is diminishing by the day.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Yet I am certain that my studies of the chronicles will yield something of use. In fact, just last night, I discovered how the warriors of my tribe came to be shunned by the outside world.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Upon witnessing my people's prowess with the axe, the armies of the city-states began to incorporate similar techniques into their own training regimens. These are the selfsame techniques I have been instructing ''you'' in, [Player]——ones which call upon the inner beast.
'''Curious Gorge:''' The consequences, of course, were dire. Yes, their soldiers became nigh on unstoppable, but they also became wholly uncontrollable...and both friend and foe fell prey to the ensuing carnage. Of course, the heads of the city-states laid the blame for these atrocities solely at the feet of my kind, promptly banning the ancient art and imprisoning anyone suspected of teaching it. Or so the chronicles say...
'''Curious Gorge:''' What I find hard to grasp, though, is that never once during my training did my brother hint at this dark history. Nor have I myself ever seen one of my tribe succumb to the rage that the chronicles describe.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Could it be that the tales are mere falsehoods? Stories concocted by some long-forgotten enemy who would poison our heritage and befoul our tribe's name? Who in their right mind would seek to sully something so pure...and why would my ancestors simply bow their heads and suffer such ignominy!?
'''Curious Gorge:''' That my people should be so ''weak''——so utterly bereft of pride——is inexplicable. I refuse to believe it!
'''Curious Gorge:''' It matters not if these claims are groundless——if they prompted my tribe's art to fade into obscurity, then the damage has already been done. Well, I for one will not turn a blind eye to this injustice! If none of my people will give the lie to the stories that have so tarnished our reputation, it shall have to be me!
'''Curious Gorge:''' Ah, but once again I lose myself in history and forget the present. If you recall, I spoke to you of my former comrade from the Company of Heroes, and the great wooly beast we have been pursuing.
'''Curious Gorge:''' The beast remains on the loose, and to toss a ponze of salt on the wound, fell creatures that appear to be its minions have been wreaking havoc on the innocent residents of Wineport.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Were you and I to succeed in quelling the threat, surely the people would see that warriors are no fearsome beasts, but valuable allies. Together, [Player], we will win back out proud name! Now, let us away to Wineport to meet with the captain of the militia!
===Speaking to the Wineport Militia Captain - cutscene===
'''Wineport Militia Captain:''' My friends. Wineport is much obliged for your aid. The fiends come relentlessly, and what few able-bodied men we have find themselves hopelessly overmatched. Indeed, the western gates have been so besieged that they are currently left without any manned defense.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Leave the defense to us, my good man! I will secure the western gate.
'''Curious Gorge:''' [Player], you defend the town from the east. Together, we will form a bulwark that not a single fiend can penetrate!
'''Curious Gorge:''' Once the enemy has been driven back, we return here to back up the captain. Got it, [Player]?
===Reporting back to the Wineport Militia Captain===
'''Wineport Militia Captain:''' Thank the Twelve you're safe! We have need of your skills yet. I just heard a scream, and I fear that one of the beasts might be loose within the village. Come with me!

'''Curious Gorge:''' M-Monster...? But I... I...
'''Curious Gorge:''' Come no closer, [Player]!
'''Curious Gorge:''' I...beg of you...
'''Curious Gorge:''' I... I must return to the Falls.
===Speaking to the Wineport Militia Captain again===
'''Wineport Militia Captain:''' Whatever has gotten into Curious Gorge?
'''Wineport Militia Captain:''' 'Tis true that he fought like a man possessed, but to mistake him for the very beast he hunts——methinks the child's parents have been feeding her a few too many ghost stories for her own good.
'''Wineport Militia Captain:''' Worry not, friend. I shall speak to the villagers and clear up this most unfortunate misunderstanding. Do return to the Falls and assure Curious Gorge that Wineport is indebted to him for his aid.
===Reporting back to Curious Gorge===
'''Curious Gorge:''' [Player]... Please forgive me for leaving so abruptly earlier.
'''Curious Gorge:''' It was a hasty reaction to a situation for which I was completely unprepared.
'''Curious Gorge:''' While both you and I know that I was in complete control of my inner beast, I now realize that to the layman's eye, it may have seemed that...well, the opposite was true.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Mayhap it was this very misapprehension that lent weight to the lies which led to my tribe's disgrace. And if that is the case, then perhaps I should return once more to the chronicles, and endeavor to reassess their message in light of this discovery.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Speaking of light... Your soul crystal, [Player]...it sparkles.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Does the Soul of the Warrior have aught to reveal to you? Any whispers of...of import?
'''Curious Gorge:''' <sigh> If only they hadn't forsaken me, as they did my brother...
'''Curious Gorge:''' Ahem! Yes, well, I suppose that is that. I must continue my studies, and you your training. I hope to have something new for both of us very soon. Until then, my friend.

*Report to [[Curious Gorge]].

==Journal==
* [[Curious Gorge]] is struggling to decipher the ancient texts.

* Curious Gorge has been unable to glean much wisdom from the ancient tome, but would proceed with your training nonetheless. He has tasked you with the slaying of a giant sandworm rumored to reside in the Sagolii Desert. Stop off at Forgotten Springs and ask the inhabitants there if they have seen the creature.

* According to the residents of Forgotten Springs, the sandworm you seek was last seen preying on a band of unfortunate merchants in the Sagolii Desert. Seek out an area that shows vestiges of a massacre and fell the immense beast.

* The sandworm is no more. Return to Hidden Falls and inform Curious Gorge that you have completed your trial.

* In the course of your battle with the sandworm, your inner beast has awakened further, imparting to you yet another technique of your forebears. Master the newfound skill at your disposal, that you will be prepared to continue your training once your mentor has deciphered the ancient texts.
** ※The next warrior quest will be available from Curious Gorge upon reaching level 40.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Curious Gorge:''' Welcome back, my friend. I can see that you've not neglected your training. For my part, I fear that deciphering the ancient chronicles of my people is proving to be a much more demanding task than I had imagined.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Mind you, it hasn't helped that I've been somewhat preoccupied of late. A comrade of mine from my days in the Company of Heroes asked me to do a favor, and it's taken me back and forth across the realm like some bloody ferry.
'''Curious Gorge:''' I'm on a hunt for some mysterious feral beast that's been terrorizing smallfolk. People don't know where this monstrosity came from, but witnesses say its thirst for blood is unlike anything they've ever seen.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Unfortunately, the time I have spent in pursuit of the beast is time I have not spent studying the chronicles, and I am sorry to say I have made little progress.
'''Curious Gorge:''' However, while on the road, I was able to decipher one passage that may be of interest to us both. From what I can gather, the chronicles tell of an ancient set of armor forged by my ancestors in the flames of the seven hells, and inscribed with the same arcane incantations that adorn the Soul of the Warrior.
'''Curious Gorge:''' It would seem that this mighty armor was passed down from hero to apprentice for centuries, until one man, driven by rage and vainglory, cast all five pieces from Abalathia's highest peak. Since that day, the armor has remained lost...and with it, the power that it harbors.
'''Curious Gorge:''' As far as I can make out, the next passage in the chronicles concerns the whereabouts of these missing artifacts...though I have only been able to make sense of the odd word thus far. Still, I must confess to some excitement. Imagine what a warrior clad in such garb could achieve!
'''Curious Gorge:''' Ah, if only my brother were here... We could decipher the text together and spread the teachings of our people to the entire realm!
'''Curious Gorge:''' Alas, he is not. His whereabouts are as hidden to me as those of the ancient armor. I would have liked you to meet him...if only so that you could have looked upon a true warrior.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Well, perhaps you still shall. Eorzea is not as large as most people perceive. Paths cross, fates intertwine. Such is the will of the Spinner. It may be that my brother has chosen a similar path to mine... But I have rambled long enough. You are here to take the next step in your training, and so I shall oblige.
'''Curious Gorge:''' In the southern reaches of Thanalan is the Sagolii Desert, a godsforsaken wasteland of naught but sand that stretches as far as the eye can see. It is here that the leviathan of the dunes lurks——a sandworm of gargantuan proportions.
'''Curious Gorge:''' When facing this mammoth creature, you will soon realize that the feeble hacks and slashes of your puny axe are ill-suited to the task of felling such a foe...but do not let this dissuade you. Wake the slumbering beast within and summon forth a strength that transcends the limits of your physical form.
'''Curious Gorge:''' Mind you, first you'll have to ''find'' the beast, and that might prove a tall order in itself. The U tribe that inhabits Forgotten Springs is wise to the movements of the denizens of the desert. Should you want for guidance, I'd wager they could set you in the right direction.
===Speaking to residents===
'''Speaking to U'goromuli'''
'''U'goromuli:''' The leviathan of the dunes? Saw the fearsome bugger not a week ago, preying on a group of merchants south of Byregot's Strike. The smart ones dropped their wares, turned tail, and ran. The dumb ones, well, at least they can say they died rich.
'''Speaking to U'khuba Tia'''
'''U'khuba Tia:''' Sandworms are particularly sensitive to vibrations in the earth, such as those made by running. If you're looking to summon one of the beasts, then I suggest you search for their tracks, then run about making as much of a clamor as possible. I would also suggest you seek a cure for your madness.
'''Speaking to U'towali'''
'''U'towali:''' Aye, I've seen the beast. Stands three malms high, he does, and stirs up sandstorms with each writhe and wriggle. Showed up in my hunting fields some years ago, and has been swallowing up my would-be prey in that gaping maw of his ever since.
===Reporting back to Curious Gorge===
'''Curious Gorge:''' Ah, [Player]. Your crystal grows ever stronger. In felling the raging sandworm, the beast within you slowly but surely rouses to wakefulness.
'''Curious Gorge:''' When next you do battle, methinks you will find yourself capable of movements heretofore unfamiliar to you. When you have mastered your new talents, return to me. In the meanwhile, I shall continue my study of the ancient texts.

*Forgemaster H'naanza wishes to assign you a new commission

*H'naanza is concerned that the growing animosity between you and Blanstyr will distract you from the improvement of your discipline. In order to focus your mind on more productive matters, the forgemaster has chosen you to craft the steel frypan requested by the eminent culinarian, Master Lyngsath. Once you have made a utensil of sufficient quality, deliver it to H'naanza for appraisal.

*Your steel frypan has earned the praise of Forgemaster H'naanza. Deliver your finished work to Lyngsath at the Culinarians' Guild.

*Master Lyngsath appears more than satisfied with your fine-quality frypan. You have joined Forgemaster H'naanza as one of the armorers whom the exacting culinarian is willing to trust in the forging of his cooking utensils.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''H'naanza:''' Greetings, [Player]. I hear word you bested Blanstyr in an armorer's contest of skill. An impressive feat, and one of which you should be proud.
'''H'naanza:''' But I'm afraid you've made a most troublesome enemy, for he is both persistent and vindictive. As you well know, I speak from bitter experience on that matter.
'''H'naanza:''' Rather than dwell on this unpleasant rivalry, however, I would have you focus on your craft. Ready your hammer and pliers, [Player]——there is much and more to do!
'''H'naanza:''' Master Lyngsath over at the Bismarck has commissioned a new steel frypan. And, as one might expect of the head of the Culinarians' Guild, he accepts only the finest of wares.
'''H'naanza:''' Now, compared to pounding out thick, protective plates of armor, cooking utensils——being generally smaller and lighter——require a somewhat more delicate touch. You must bring all of your concentration to bear, lest you risk ruining the entire piece with a single misplaced blow.
'''H'naanza:''' In light of recent events, which have no doubt left your mind scattered, I believe a task that fully engages your faculties will prove beneficial.
'''H'naanza:''' Let us not keep Master Lyngsath waiting, [Player]. To the forge with you.
===Delivering item to H'naanza===
'''H'naanza:''' Where is that frypan, [Player]? It is true that you are no longer some rank novice, but do not think your posterior safe from the toe of my boot if you choose to dither and dally!
'''Cutscene'''
'''H'naanza:''' Truly, another consummate work. I can find no flaw with its weight or balance; it is not so heavy as to be struggle to lift, yet it remains sturdy enough to endure the frantic pace of the Bismarck's kitchens.
'''H'naanza:''' I trust at this juncture that you comprehend in full my earlier warning——to produce a frypan of this quality would most certainly have required your undivided attention. And I can tell this item received just that——the consistency of the metal's thickness is all the evidence one needs.
'''H'naanza:''' This type of precision should not be undervalued. In this case, should the frypan be poorly forged, the heat of its cooking surface will be uneven...and such flaws are unacceptable to an exacting culinarian such as Master Lyngsath.
'''H'naanza:''' Even the sturdiest of utensils, however, rarely last him more than a few seasons. It is a struggle to find armorers who can meet his demanding specifications when he turns to our guild for replacements.
'''H'naanza:''' I had long intended to assign this commission to you, but your encounter with Blanstyr had me doubting your ability to concentrate. This is one of those rare occasions where I am happy to be proven wrong.
'''H'naanza:''' Your uncompromising attention to detail continues to be an inspiration to your colleagues. Ah, and speaking of details, there is one that remains untended: delivering this frypan into Master Lyngsath's hands. I trust you do not need directions to the Culinarians' Guild.
===Delivering item to Lyngsath===
'''Lyngsath:''' Ye've come to deliver me new frypan, 'ave ye?
'''Lyngsath:''' Well, now, ain't she a beauty! With this pan, I'll be able to whip up all sorts o' dishes an' not fret about burnin' the middle or undercookin' the edges. Ye say this was ''yer'' work?
'''Lyngsath:''' Only the forgemaster 'erself 'as ever been able to make utensils what I'd consider worthy o' the Bismarck. Seems like I finally got me another craftsman I can trust. Yer welcome in me kitchen any time, lad/lass.

*Report to [[Brithael]].

==Journal==
*Forgemaster Brithael is eyeing you with an ominous grin on his face. It may be wise to inquire as to why.

*Apparently, your recent accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. According to Brithael, a wealthy Ul'dahn has requested you by name for a prestigious commission. Speak with Faezahr for more information.

*Although the commission represents a chance to win respect and renown, Faezahr warns you that failure is not an option. He then directs you to meet with the client's representative, a woman named Khuswyb. Summon your courage and address her directly.

*Khuswyb's master wishes to present his chief groundsman with a plumed iron hatchet in recognition of his loyal service. Needless to say, your client will settle for nothing short of perfection. Craft a plumed iron hatchet of unsurpassed quality and present it to Khuswyb.

*Your masterpiece has a profound impact on Khuswyb, and she accepts it with great fanfare. Relay the good news to Faezahr.

*Faezahr seems unsurprised by your success, though he is quick to note Khuswyb's enthusiastic endorsement. The trader then begrudgingly bids you bear word of your success to the forgemaster─though not before once again expressing his low opinion of the man. Return to Brithael and report all that has transpired.

*Brushing aside Faezahr's comments, Brithael reminisces about the day you first joined the Blacksmiths' Guild, claiming that he always knew you had the potential for greatness. He then swears that as long as you remain loyal to the guild, you will be able to count on its unwavering support.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Brithael:''' Been waitin' fer ye to come an' see me, lad/lass. Seems ye've got yerself an admirer! An' I ain't talkin' about me, neither——I'm talkin' about someone else!
'''Brithael:''' 'Twas only a matter o' time before folk started askin' questions about who was responsible fer the guild's recent change in fortunes.
'''Brithael:''' You heard o' Costa del Sol——out in Bloodshore?
'''Brithael:''' 'Cause that's where yer new admirer lives. 'Case ye don't know the place, it's a favorite resort of Ul'dah's rich an' famous. Aye, that's right——I'm talkin' about one o' ''them''! Asked fer you by name, they did. Said they wished to commission ''the great [Full Name]'' and no other! Hah hah!
'''Brithael:''' This could be yer chance, lad/lass! It ain't every day ye get invited to curry favor with such a wealthy bleedin' client.
'''Brithael:''' At first I thought it was just Byregot who was watchin' over ye, but I'm beginnin' to think that two-faced bugger Nald'thal might've taken an interest, an' all!
'''Brithael:''' Anyway, ye'll do it, won't ye? Bah! 'Course ye bloody will! Ye'd be a godsdamned fool to refuse!
'''Brithael:''' Ye'll need to trouble that bastard Faezahr fer the details... Oh, an' though it sticks in me throat to say it, I reckon ye should prob'ly thank the chocobo's arse while yer at it——he's the one as made this happen.
===Speaking to Faezahr===
'''Faezahr:''' Well met, smith. I gather you've heard about your commission?
'''Faezahr:''' I trust you understand what an honor this is...
'''Faezahr:''' As well as what's at stake.
'''Faezahr:''' The client in question is a distinguished personage with ''tremendously'' high expectations. Should you fail to live up to them, it will reflect poorly on both you and your guild. As for myself, the ''last'' thing I need is a well-connected Ul'dahn telling his associates not to buy your products——products, I need hardly add, which I should very much like to sell them.
'''Faezahr:''' In short: ''don't fail''.
'''Faezahr:''' Now then, I believe I saw Miss Khuswyb arrive a moment ago. She is our client's representative. Go inside and introduce yourself to her. She will explain the commission.
===Speaking to Khuswyb===
'''Khuswyb:''' I've heard a great deal about you, [Full Name].
'''Khuswyb:''' As you may have heard, my master was captivated by the tales of your exceptional craftsmanship, and thought you the ideal candidate to undertake a commission of particular import to him.
'''Khuswyb:''' By way of an introduction, my master's estate boasts the most spectacular gardens in all of Costa del Sol. Its many botanical marvels owe much to the efforts of our chief groundsman, who has nurtured them since he was a lad. The dear old fellow has been with the family for generations now, and my master feels it is past time that his years of faithful service be recognized.
'''Khuswyb:''' And what better way to honor the tireless efforts of one's loyal servant than to present him with an exquisitely wrought example of the tool of his beloved trade?
'''Khuswyb:''' In short, Mister/[?] [Surname], my master would like to commission a plumed iron hatchet of the first order.
'''Khuswyb:''' Know that anything less than perfection will be deemed unacceptable.
'''Khuswyb:''' We trust you will not disappoint us.
===Delivering item to Khuswyb===
'''Khuswyb:''' Do you have the hatchet?
'''Cutscene'''
'''Khuswyb:''' My... Though I count myself no expert in such matters, even I am sensible to this hatchet's quality. It is...magnificent.
'''Khuswyb:''' Master Faezahr's words did not do you justice. You are a veritable prodigy, sir/[?].
'''Khuswyb:''' Your hatchet is more a work of art than a tool. When I run my fingers along its smooth leather grip and gaze upon its flawless, sparkling blade, I find that I am...''moved''.
'''Khuswyb:''' It seems a great shame to allow such a masterpiece to be used for mere gardening.
'''Khuswyb:''' But...tools are made for a purpose. Mayhap, as the blade dulls and the grip wears, it will gain a different sort of beauty...
'''Khuswyb:''' Ah, but I am beginning to sound like our chief groundsman. Such a gentle soul... I am quite sure that he will see the artistry in your creation. Why, it may even serve to inspire him in his own craft. You should be proud.
'''Khuswyb:''' On behalf of my lord, I thank you, [Full Name]. Pray give my regards to Master Faezahr.
===Reporting back to Faezahr===
'''Faezahr:''' You certainly rose to the occasion. Expertly done, smith.
'''Faezahr:''' And it seems Miss Khuswyb has marked you out as a crafter of outstanding skill. If her master agrees with her assessment, this may well be the first of many such commissions.
'''Faezahr:''' You have every right to be proud.
'''Faezahr:''' I suppose your ''mentor'' will want to know what's transpired. <sigh> I swear, your talents are truly wasted serving that fool.
'''Faezahr:''' You may tell him I said so, if you wish. You're a damn good smith, [Player]. You can do better.
===Reporting back to Brithael===
'''Brithael:''' Ah, there you are, lad/lass! Well tell us how it went, then! ...Eh? He said that, didn't he? Cheeky sod! Talkin' like he knows what it means to be a smitty... There ain't ''no one'' as knows better than me, an' I've only ever wanted what's best fer ye!
'''Brithael:''' I still remember the day ye first walked in here, ye know... 'Twas clear to me even then that ye'd got a will of iron. Somethin' in yer eyes, there was——somethin' as told me ye'd give yer all to the craft, not fer coin or fer fame, but fer the sake o' makin' somethin' ''good''.
'''Brithael:''' An' that's jus' what we need 'round here. So don't let us down, [Player]. Stick with us, and we'll do right by ye.

*Thanks to your dried prunes, Diving Dove seems much less tense than before. However, Lyngsath is still not convinced that the woman is as healthy as she should be, and bids you make her a hearty meal of aldgoat steak. Alas, Diving Dove is known to mislike both the taste and texture of the meat. Clearly, it will take some effort to make the dish palatable to her.

*Pretending to seek her opinion on your handiwork once more, you succeed in convincing Diving Dove to eat your aldgoat steak.

Encouraged by her words, you continue along your chosen path.

'''Lyngsath:''' Great timin', [Player]. Just so 'appens I've got a task fer ye what'll test yer ingenuity in the kitchen.
'''Lyngsath:''' Divin' Dove's lookin' a lot less tense thanks to yer dried prunes, but she's still a bit on the pale side fer my likin'.
'''Lyngsath:''' Woman needs some red meat in 'er, if you ask me, an' I wants ''you'' to cook it.
'''Lyngsath:''' A nice big aldgoat steak should put some color back in 'er cheeks. Thing is, Divin' Dove don't much care fer the meat.
'''Lyngsath:''' Aldgoat's tough as leather, ye see, an' it's got a pretty pungent flavor to boot. 'Ighlanders're just about the only folk as enjoy it.
'''Lyngsath:''' Safe to say, ye'll need to do summat about the texture an' taste if ye want Divin' Dove to eat yer aldgoat steak.
'''Lyngsath:''' Got all that? Good. Now run along, eh?
===Delivering item to Diving Dove===
'''Diving Dove:''' Hm? You'd like my opinion on a dish? Very well. What do you have for me?
'''Diving Dove:''' ...Oh. Is this what I think it is? If so, I must warn you that I'm not particularly fond of aldgoat. My evaluation may not be the most objective...but if you insist...
'''Cutscene'''
'''Diving Dove:''' My word... Are you ''certain'' this is aldgoat? It's not chewy in the slightest! You've done a fine job of tenderizing the meat, I must say.
'''Diving Dove:''' What's more, I can scarce make out the pungent flavor. It remains, to be sure, but it's somehow...pleasant——almost delicious when complemented by garlic.
'''Diving Dove:''' Being rich in iron, aldgoat is supposedly good for you, but its texture and taste leave ''a lot'' to be desired.
'''Diving Dove:''' Which is why I've always loathed the stuff. How ironic that you should choose ''me'' of all people to sample yo——
'''Diving Dove:''' Wait a minute... This is another one of the guildmaster's schemes to nurse me back to health, isn't it?
'''Diving Dove:''' Why, that interfering—— I ''said'' I would take better care of myself, didn't I? Apparently he thinks he knows better! Hmph!
'''Diving Dove:''' ...At any rate, it does nothing to detract from your achievement. You've made me change my mind about aldgoat, and that's no small coup.
'''Diving Dove:''' No chef in my native Ul'dah would've gone to such lengths to make the meat appealing. They would have dismissed it as lowly fare, unworthy of their time.
'''Diving Dove:''' Ul'dahn cuisine is a true product of life in the sultanate, you see——rife with pomp and pretense. I began my career there, but soon grew weary of all the charlatans masquerading as gourmands. To hear them speak, one would assume that gold leaf was an essential part of every meal. That is why I came to Limsa Lominsa.
'''Diving Dove:''' And thank the gods that I did. Here, the people's love of cuisine is simple and pure, and it shows in the dedication of our guild members. Not a day goes by that I do not count myself fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work alongside fine culinarians like you.

*The next leatherworker quest will be available from Geva upon reaching level 40.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Geva:''' Sluggards and slouches, the lot of them!
'''Geva:''' [Player]. Don't tell me you haven't noticed as well.
'''Geva:''' Uneven seams, slipshod stamping——the work produced by the guild's rank and file in recent days simply isn't up to snuff.
'''Geva:''' Whether it be the impending exhibition or this whole Angrbotha business that is distracting our craftsmen, I do not know. What I ''do'' know is that if they don't get their act together——and ''soon''——we're at risk of actually losing business to those charlatans.
'''Geva:''' I will not stand idly by as a lack of discipline undoes the reputation that our guild has worked so long to achieve!
'''Geva:''' Someone needs to remind those slouches why they became leatherworkers in the first place, and I've decided that person will be you. Yes, ''you'', [Player].
'''Geva:''' Surprised, are you? Hah! I may question your skills, but not your dedication to our craft. Bring me the finest pair of boarskin ringbands you can craft and show me that my trust hasn't been misplaced.
'''Geva:''' It would be only the slightest of exaggerations to say that the future of this guild——not to mention ''your'' future——hangs in the balance. Now get to it, and show your good-for-nothing guildmates how it's done.
===Delivering item to Geva===
'''Geva:''' Well, [Player]? Have you crafted for me the finest boarskin ringbands this guild has ever seen? No pressure, of course.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Geva:''' Hmph... Is that a smudge? One could hardly call this perfect.
'''Geva:''' Fortunately, it is not perfection I sought of you, but pure, single-minded devotion to the craft. And from the moment I took this ringband in hand, I knew you had not let me down.
'''Geva:''' Clearly, you possess a keen understanding of the ideal ringband. The boarskin——light, sturdy, and resistant to friction——is reinforced by steel links to afford protection without weighing down the wearer.
'''Geva:''' Clumsily crafted ringbands have been known to distract those that would wield magic. Yours, however, are so well balanced that one might forget that she is wearing anything at all.
'''Geva:''' This is a true accomplishment of leatherworking, and will serve as a clarion wake-up call to any loafer content with churning out substandard work.
'''Geva:''' I will be honest with you, [Player]. When you first came stumbling through our doors, I reckoned I'd have an easier time making you into a saddle than a respectable leatherworker.
'''Geva:''' How pleased I am to have been proven wrong. You have risen to the challenge and become a model to the entire guild. Which reminds me...
'''Geva:''' I have spoken to you of the Gridanian exhibition, yes? The day of opening draws near, and I must devote myself fully to producing our new line of leather fashions.
'''Geva:''' As this will afford me little time to devote to everyday affairs, I require someone to handle the more demanding commissions until the exhibition has come and gone. I have decided that you are the man/woman for the job.
'''Geva:''' That's right——your next task will be to serve as my personal assistant. Don't even think about neglecting your training. Is that clear?

*Professor Erik would have you do his bidding yet again.

*Professor Erik is ill pleased to discover that you and Widargelt gave him aetherial readings from the same location in your last outing. However, he has decided that this one error should not prevent you both from continuing in your capacity as his assistants. Once again, take the aetherometer given to you and travel to Larkscall in the East Shroud to record more field data.

*You have dispatched the aetherbound kerns summoned forth by the presence of the aetherometer and finished taking the desired readings. Retrieve the professor's device.

*You have gathered up the aetherometer. Head back to the Goldsmiths' Guild to deliver the latest batch of data to Professor Erik.
The professor can scarcely contain himself at the prospect of analyzing the results you have returned to him. However, he still seems to be harboring concerns over Widargelt. Speak with him again to learn more.

'''Erik:''' You two played me for a fool. The data the simpleton monk brought me was absolutely ''astounding''. Groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Yet I remained objective in my analysis, as a scholar must.
'''Erik:''' Poring over the data, I finally arrived at a disheartening conclusion: the two of you took measurements of the same area! The values were near identical——equivalences mocking me as I struggled to reconcile them.
'''Erik:''' I could neither sleep nor eat lest I waste time not drawing nearer the truth. And for what? Tell me. What is it you two were doing in the field?
'''Erik:''' Bah, not this bloody chakra nonsense again! How many times must I tell you? It is naught but imperceptible aether. Call it what it is!
'''Erik:''' And to think I had a mind to put your names under mine when my hypothesis was published!
'''Erik:''' This life force, this spiritual energy, this godsforsaken eternal soul essence——I care not what primitive nomenclature those backward monks wish to assign it. It is ''aether'', plain and simple!
'''Erik:''' They claim they are able to manipulate and amplify it through discipline and the opening of the so-called chakra. False! This is nothing more than the aetherial regulation of organisms——a basic and natural concept. In an attempt to explain that which science does not yet fully understand, the monks have erected an institute of control.
'''Erik:''' Their preachings are unassailable by design——for none can disprove the existence of the unknowable. They promise power in return for abjection and servitude. Control and power, indeed! Only that of man! It is the very essence of a religion, and should be treated with contempt, as all religion should.
'''Erik:''' Aether resides in all living things, as do natural mechanisms with the capacity to regulate it. This is simply life——not some mystical, supernatural endowment.
'''Erik:''' I concede, of course, that the heightened mental faculties of man allow for the potential to gain conscious control over those mechanisms. Indeed, it would appear that you and the simpleton monk have already achieved that end.
'''Erik:''' <sigh> The indiscretion and impertinence of youth... I suppose it can be forgiven——''once''. In my own youth, I was not the model of perfection you see before you. I too have made what some might call mistakes. Not myself, but some.
'''Erik:''' In our talks together, the simpleton monk often spoke of the seventh chakra. Its awakening is thought to be the highest achievement among the monkhood. Aye, I make it a habit to know the tenets of my intellectual enemies.
'''Erik:''' It was the flow of the aether within the two of you which betrayed your falsehood. The ''whispering of your chakra'', as I'm sure the monks would rush to call it.
'''Erik:''' But serendipity most often visits the industrious! Just so, it is precisely these aetherial ''whispers'' that proved to be most intriguing. The waves of these sounds resonated perfectly with the aether of the battleground!
'''Erik:''' I can see by your vapid expression that you are missing my point. Allow me to spell it out——it follows that if one were to visit a battlefield with a certain aetherial wave amplitude and frequency, it would resonate with one's ''own'' aether!
'''Erik:''' This is the phenomenon responsible for the initial ''opening'' of your own ''chakra''. <sigh> I cannot believe I am being reduced to speaking in these terms.
'''Erik:''' It stands to reason that for any aetherial wave, there may be a location that will resonate with it. Think of the implications, [Player]!
'''Erik:''' If the seventh chakra the monks speak of truly exists, then so, too, must an ultimate battleground to bond with it. The concentration of aether in such a place would be unlike anything ever recorded!
'''Erik:''' I forgive your past treachery, guide me as it did to this great discovery. That, and I need you to do more work for me. Here, take this new aetherometer.
'''Erik:''' Make for Larkscall in the East Shroud. My research indicates it is a very promising tract indeed.
'''Erik:''' Set up the aetherometer as you have others in the past, and then kill whatever you must to obtain a strong reading.
'''Erik:''' Slaying beasts there will release the aether of the land they are steeped in, and it may then resonate with your own. I suppose in the primitive terms of the monkhood, that would translate to the expansion of your chakra.
'''Erik:''' Oh, and you'll not be crossing paths with the simpleton monk this time. I will be sending him to take readings at East End. I've no intentions of allowing you two to conspire to impede my research again.
'''Erik:''' If you care to know more about the events that have transpired at Larkscall, I suggest you pay a visit to your local library. East End, on the other hand, is a fascinating subject of which I never tire speaking. Ask me about it any time if your curiosity ever gets the better of you.
===Delivering item to Erik===
'''Erik:''' I very much look forward to the readings of both your and Widargelt's aetherometers. What's this? You've already finished!? Then what are you standing there talking for? Come, come, give me the aetherometer!
'''Erik:''' Amazing... Simply amazing! And your soul crystal... It's glowing more vibrantly than ever before, is it not?
'''Erik:''' I will begin my analysis of the data with all haste! You've come to be quite the model pupil, [Player]. Would that I could say the same of the monk simpleton. <sigh>
'''Erik:''' I can see the feeble gears turning in your mind. Come, there is no need to feel shame at your ignorance. If you wish to know what has transpired, you need only ask. I promise to use small words.

'''Jehantel:''' Welcome back, [Player]. By your tranquil countenance, it is plain that both your body and soul are in readiness for the next stage of your journey.
'''Jehantel:''' Very well. The time is ripe that I teach you the Ballad of the Vainglorious Fool.
'''Jehantel:''' The song tells the tale of an archer of the Gods' Quiver whose peerless skill was surpassed only by his hubris.
'''Jehantel:''' Alas, that hubris led to the annihilation of his entire regiment at the battle which has come to be called the Massacre of Griffin Crossing. Ahem!
'''Jehantel:''' Standing guard in dead of night,♪ An archer, wearying of the sight,♪
'''Jehantel:''' Drunk on pride and starved of glory,♪ Forsook his post to claim victory.♪
'''Jehantel:''' Ten score yalms had the archer crept,♪ When shrieks rang out whence his comrades slept,♪
'''Jehantel:''' For he was not there to see the knives,♪ Nor to ring the bell and save friends' lives.♪
'''Jehantel:''' Tell me, [Player], what lessons can be learned from this tale?
'''Jehantel:''' Ah, but hold that thought——what your tongue claims to understand interests me not.
'''Jehantel:''' As before, I'd sooner have you demonstrate the fruits of your learning with bow in hand. This time, however, you shall have the pleasure of my company.
'''Jehantel:''' I would have you escort me to the Gelmorra Ruins in the North Shroud. It is there that some few fallen from the Massacre of Griffin Crossing have been laid to rest. Pray honor this place of remembrance with a bouquet of lilies.
'''Jehantel:''' Heed me, O Puissant Althyk! Cast Thee back the rains to the firmament, that we might gaze upon the battles of yore!
===Laying bouquet at destination - cutscene===
'''Jehantel:''' The enemy van!?
'''Jehantel:''' No... I...I cannot...
'''Jehantel:''' Why? Why do I still draw breath?
'''Jehantel:''' That a sin of the past would beget another... Forgive me, [Player].
'''After solo duty'''
'''Jehantel:''' As you have doubtless noticed, I am no longer capable of wielding a bow——I, whom they call the Godsbow.
'''Jehantel:''' I had hoped in vain. Absolution does not come so easily. Heed me well, [Player], for I shall reveal all to you.
'''Jehantel:''' The man sung of in the Ballad of the Vainglorious Fool, whose hubris doomed an entire regiment——he and I are one and the same.
'''Jehantel:''' Being no stranger to the bow, you will know that the archer's role in battle is that of support. His charge is to thin out the enemy line, that his comrades might gain ground in the field of battle.
'''Jehantel:''' By that most basic of criteria, I was unfit to hold a bow from the first.
'''Jehantel:''' In my pride and lust for glory, I sent countless souls to a bloody grave——good men and women all, with loved ones and bright futures awaiting them. I lost the will to live that day, becoming an empty husk of a man, tormented in sleep and wakefulness both by the memories of my crime.
'''Jehantel:''' But the gods were not without mercy. They gifted me with song, that I might find a measure of solace in my wretched existence.
'''Jehantel:''' A new melody resounds within you, I see. Though this outing was rather far departed from what I had in mind, that it still bore fruit gives me comfort.
'''Jehantel:''' On that note, let us conclude the lesson. I daresay I have no cause to worry that you will repeat the selfsame mistake as the vainglorious fool.
'''Jehantel:''' [Player], I would be alone for a while. Take yourself back to camp——I shall make my own way there presently.
===Reporting back to Jehantel===
'''Jehantel:''' I am glad to see you safely returned. Though I rasp my voice hoarse through the saying of it, I cannot tell you enough times how much I regret dragging you into such danger.
'''Jehantel:''' ...And yet, there is more I would ask of you. If you would do me the kindness of lending your ear, then pray speak now.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Jehantel:''' 'Tis good to see you return, [Player], and more seasoned still for your time in the world. Call me a spoony bard, but as a man in the winter of his years, it gives me great joy to observe an adventurer in the spring of his/hers.
'''Jehantel:''' This is an odd time for recollection, but it was a spring day when a bard first came to my hometown. He played the most sorrowful chords, even as his words tantalized the ear like the breath of one's first love. Many a maiden's heart was stolen during his visit...and doubtless more besides.
'''Jehantel:''' [Player]. Would you believe that common bards, too, were born of archers? This may seem far-fetched upon first hearing, but it isn't so far a stretch.
'''Jehantel:''' Ask yourself this: what becomes of soldiers when conflict gives way to peacetime? Some have lives they might return to, aye, but most must needs take up a new trade to make ends meet. Well, it so happened that many who had once bent the bow took to strumming the harp.
'''Jehantel:''' They wandered the realm, singing passionately and earnestly of the war as seen through their own eyes——of sweet victories and bitter defeats, of sacrifice and cowardice. Their songs so captured the imagination of the people, nary a day passed that a bard was not called to perform, be it in a humble tavern or some great lord's hall.
'''Jehantel:''' Alas, their popularity proved their downfall. Intoxicated by the attentions of the masses, the bards took to embellishing their songs in a bid to outdo one another.
'''Jehantel:''' And over time, each song was shorn of verity, till the bard's repertoire contained not one shred of truth.
'''Jehantel:''' By now you will know that such songs have no purchase upon men's hearts. Certainly, a bawdy tune may set off fits of laughter in a sailor, and a sorrowful ballad summon tears from the eyes of a soft-hearted maiden. Yet these are but pale shadows of what songs can achieve.
'''Jehantel:''' For a blessing, this decline did not escape the notice of the moogles. As great patrons of the arts, they feared that the true power of song might be lost to mankind.
'''Jehantel:''' So it was that they labored to gather and safeguard those crystals known as Souls of the Bard, that they might be bestowed upon worthy men and women.
'''Jehantel:''' Now, well as I know you relish listening to my sermons, I daresay it's past time we moved on to the practical side of the lesson. I know I have mentioned this previously, but tell me, are you perchance familiar with the Ballad of the Vainglorious Fool?
'''Jehantel:''' Nay? Well, that won't do at all. We must remedy this posthaste.
'''Jehantel:''' The song recounts the Massacre of Griffin Crossing, a battle that took place decades past, wherein countless Gridanian lives came to a premature end.
'''Jehantel:''' Ah, but do forgive me——I seem to have mistaken the proper order of things. Before I begin, I must be convinced that the point of the tale will not be lost upon you. Elsewise I will have wasted my breath in the telling of it.
'''Jehantel:''' Now, heed well these instructions. You must make your way to Wellwick Wood, where resides a mated pair of aldgoats that have but recently lost a kid. The pair has been driven mad with grief, and only death will put an end to the uncontrolled rampages.
===Reporting back to Jehantel===
'''Jehantel:''' Welcome back, [Player]. I can almost hear the cries of mourning that have seared themselves into your soul. That you remain unbowed by such anguish is a testament to your spirit's fortitude.
'''Jehantel:''' Yet even as your heart swells to contain these new experiences, you must not neglect your skills with the bow.
'''Jehantel:''' A resilient heart must needs have a robust body in which to beat. Once you have trained both to equal strength, then shall I perform for you the Ballad of the Vainglorious Fool.

* Kokosamu would share news of his master's latest advance in the arcane art of materia manipulation.

* As Kokosamu tells it, Master Mutamix has developed a method for combining multiple pieces of unneeded materia to give them new form and life─a procedure known as transmutation. He encourages you to speak with the esteemed goblin scholar, that you might enlighten yourself as to the specifics.

* While the precise process of materia transmutation is too complex to be imparted to a layman, Mutamix generously offers to perform the procedure whenever you so desire. To take the goblin up on his offer, you need only bring him five pieces of unwanted materia.

Now, I ask ye: what if there were a way to melt down a couple pieces of materia that weren't availin' you naught, and mold them into a shiny new piece that——Nymeia willin'——just might strike yer fancy?
'''Kokosamu:''' This most handy procedure is somethin' we like to call ''shifty-makin'''. Rather, that's what Master Mutamix calls it. Meself, I've coined the term ''transmutation'', which I'm hopin' might find favor with adventurers like yerself.
'''Kokosamu:''' How's it all work, ye ask? I could tell ye, but why ask the student when ye can learn from the master? You'll find Mutamix right over there, likely jumpin' out of his boots lookin' to trade tongueflaps about his discovery.

'''Mutamix Bubblypots:''' Shkohhh! But shifty-making is not simple like crafty-making. Knowings of shifty-making are much and many, and uplander's braincase——though big for uplander——is small.
'''Mutamix Bubblypots:''' Uplander need not be making worry-face. If uplander has many need-not materia, bring them to tent-ring. Mutamix will shifty-make for uplander!

*By his vexed expression, it's safe to assume Syntgoht has a favor to ask of you.

*You overhear Syntgoht thinking aloud, worried over a shipment of goods that has yet to arrive. It's not long before he is aware of your presence, and, after sensing the air of gallantry about you, presumes you to be an adventurer who can assist him in his time of need. Looking to receive his wares as soon as possible, Syntgoht asks that you speak with Nesting Heron at the Bonfire in central Thanalan.

*Arriving at the Bonfire, you speak with Nesting Heron and are reassured to find that the shipping preparations for Syntgoht's goods are complete. The reason for the delay, she explains, is her preoccupation with a crafting phenomenon known as desynthesis. After explaining the basics of this process and going over the discovery of a new crafting catalyst called demimateria, she encourages you to try desynthesis for yourself, that you might discovery the latent potential of previously crafted wares.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Syntgoht:''' For Twelve's sake, what living am I to make without wares to sell? She promised the shipment would be here by now.
'''Syntgoht:''' Ah, you there. You're an adventurer, are you not? Might I ask for your help in tracking a shipment of goods sorely behind schedule?
'''Syntgoht:''' I know what you're thinking, but considering the client, this request is certain to benefit you as well.
'''Syntgoht:''' If you're up for the task, I would have you speak with Nesting Heron at the Bonfire in central Thanalan. For the shipment to be so late, I can only imagine some new innovation of that Mutamix fellow has her preoccupied.
===Speaking to Nesting Heron===
'''Nesting Heron:''' What's this about a shipment? Oh, yes, of course. The package is prepared and ready to be shipped. I meant to handle it sooner, but I've become engrossed in the study of desynthesis.
'''Nesting Heron:''' I'll be sure to send word of your visit along with his wares.
'''Nesting Heron:''' Hm? You have not heard of desynthesis? I suppose you would have to visit the Bonfire quite often to keep pace with Mutamix's myriad findings. Allow me to explain.
'''Nesting Heron:''' Desynthesis is a new technique developed by Mutamix to break down weapons and armor into their constituent parts.
'''Nesting Heron:''' In short, it allows the ''retrieval'' of those materials originally used to craft an item. On occasion, the process will also yield a peculiar crystallized mass.
'''Nesting Heron:''' There is still much research to be done, but we believe the mass is formed from residual spiritbond energies infused into the equipment by the hands that crafted them. Because the process is similar to the creation of materia, we've come to call these crystals "demimateria."
'''Nesting Heron:''' Just imagine the applications! Fortifying weapons, creating new armor——the possibilities are limitless.
'''Nesting Heron:''' It may also be worth mentioning that, while some of the demimateria by-products seemed unfit for reuse, their radiance was not unlike the rubies and sapphires one might find for sale in Ul'dah. I imagine they would fetch a fair price if you were to show them to the right buyer.
'''Nesting Heron:''' But if you are truly interested in learning more of desynthesis, I can think of no better way than trying it yourself! Perhaps the next time we meet, you can tell me of your own findings.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Widargelt]] in [[Little Ala Mhigo]].
*Place the aetherometer at [[Snakemolt]].
*Retrieve the aetherometer.
*Deliver the aetherometer to [[Erik]] at the [[Goldsmiths' Guild]].

==Journal==
*Professor Erik seeks further aid in his aetherial research.

*Professor Erik has entrusted you with two tasks, the first of which is to collect the aetherometer in the possession of Widargelt. Travel to Little Ala Mhigo in southern Thanalan and there speak with the monk.

*Widargelt urges you to set about your second task, assuring you that he will bring you his aetherometer when it has finished collecting data. Travel to *Snakemolt in the South Shroud and make use of your aetherometer at the designated location.

*You have collected the data Professor Erik requested. Retrieve the aetherometer.

*Widargelt confesses that his sole purpose is to learn the locations of ancient battlefields from Professor Erik, so that he may travel to them in order to further open his chakra. In doing so, he hopes to serve the Ala Mhigan Resistance to the utmost of his ability. Return to the Goldsmiths' Guild and deliver both your and Widargelt's aetherometers to the professor.

*Upon a cursory examination of the aetherometers, Professor Erik is excited by the prospective results they might yield. Continue in your monk's training as he sees about analyzing the latest haul of data.
**※The next monk quest will be available from Erik upon reaching level 45.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Erik:''' Ah, dear [Player], so good of you to trouble yourself to come. Normally I might be cross, but my spirits are far too high just now. And it is you I have to thank!
'''Erik:''' I speak of the data you procured! It is simply marvelous! You have a true gift for grunt work, my friend. I wish I had a hundred more assistants just like you.
'''Erik:''' I have been in this field for a very long time, and I have been alone. Ever since that unfortunate mulled tea fungus incident sparked my passion for research. I regret nothing, [Player].
'''Erik:''' Save perhaps having to share so wondrous a world with souls as unlearned as yourself. Still, your performance has not left me completely bereft of joy. It is rewarding to think that my instruction has guided you to such success.
'''Erik:''' There, how was that? Shall we dispense with any further pleasantries? Very good, then.
'''Erik:''' I made yet another career-defining discovery while pondering which battleground to measure next. Eorzea is home to numerous locations where the aether is in an intensely chaotic state, yet which never played host to any war.
'''Erik:''' My hypothesis was that such flux in the aether was indicative of a past battle, and all my research was predicated upon this.
'''Erik:''' But turn the theory on its head, [Player], if your mind is able——what if the people of the past ''chose'' areas of roiling aether to hold their battles!?
'''Erik:''' I have already sent the simpleton monk to take measurements at the Finesand Banks. As you are doubtless unaware, this lies on the border between Ala Mhigo and Gridania, and was the stage of the Autumn War.
'''Erik:''' I ask that you find our monk friend and collect his aetherometer. Manual and tedious, yes, but he has an early make of the device that is unable to transmit data. I gather the numskull is in Little Ala Mhigo in southern Thanalan by this time.
'''Erik:''' You think I ask much of you? False! I ask more. Your other task is to travel to Snakemolt in the South Shroud, and there take measurements with your own aetherometer.
'''Erik:''' I will continue with my research here in your absence. Mind you, if you care to know aught at all of the Autumn War and the Finesand Banks upon which it was fought, I will gladly enlighten you. You need only ask.
===Speaking to Widargelt===
'''Widargelt:''' You have come far. It is good to see you, brother/sister.
'''Widargelt:''' You come for my aetherometer? It is not ready to give. My work is not finished.
'''Widargelt:''' I came as soon as I was told. But the readings require more time. Do not worry. They will be ready soon.
'''Widargelt:''' You make for Snakemolt in the South Shroud.
'''Widargelt:''' Erik believes the aether strong there. Yet that land hosted no great battles. He told me as much this morn.
'''Widargelt:''' Leave me to my task here. Make for Snakemolt. Take your readings. My work will soon be done. I will bring the device to you.
'''Widargelt:''' I have troubled you to come here. I will not trouble you to wait. Go. We will meet again at Snakemolt, brother/sister.
===Inspecting aetherometer - cutscene===
'''Widargelt:''' Well done, brother/sister. I feel your chakra. It has grown.
'''Widargelt:''' I hoped to arrive before you. But I see I am late. This land's power has gone to you. There is nothing left for me here.
'''Widargelt:''' It is as I told you. We monks travel where aether flows strong. There we train. The power of the land enters us. Thus our chakra expand.
'''Widargelt:''' This bonding causes great unrest. The land's energy becomes unstable. It will enter no other until it calms.
'''Widargelt:''' I feel nothing here. As you would feel nothing at Finesand Banks. That land bonded to my chakra. And its aether is now at unrest.
'''Widargelt:''' The teacher's work means nothing. I took no readings. I meant to hasten here. But I was delayed. There was a gathering of the monkhood. I was summoned to Little Ala Mhigo.
'''Widargelt:''' The teacher's chidings? Worry not. I will use my device here. Any result will suffice. The man has already reached his conclusion. He will twist the data to fit.
'''Widargelt:''' It is a sad existence. To sacrifice all for truth. Yet be unable to ''truly'' know when one sees it.
'''Widargelt:''' Speak not of this to him, brother/sister. You see both our aims. You know mine to be more worthy.
'''Widargelt:''' I tell this to you. You and you alone. I am of the Ala Mhigan Resistance. I fight for freedom from Garlemald.
'''Widargelt:''' I escaped the occupation. I have come here to fight. To gather allies and weapons.
'''Widargelt:''' But these lands sadden me. The people have forgotten. Ala Mhigo is a distant memory.
'''Widargelt:''' The Resistance here is small. They aid where they can. But it is not enough. This war demands great power. That power lies in the chakra.
'''Widargelt:''' The teacher is not an evil man. But he thinks only of his work. Not the suffering of innocents.
'''Widargelt:''' His knowledge can be used for good. The battlefields. They can turn the tide. The chakra of many must be opened.
'''Widargelt:''' If this way is lost to me... No. No, I ''will'' have this power. I must!
'''Widargelt:''' An end to oppression. An end to starvation. Ala Mhigo will be made free. I will see it done!
'''Widargelt:''' Forgive my speech. It is a matter close to my heart.
'''Widargelt:''' I will give you my device. But I ask you to say nothing of this to Erik. I beg you, brother/sister.
===Delivering items to Erik===
'''Erik:''' I trust you have returned with ''both'' of my aetherometers? Please tell me you fumbling dolts haven't managed to damage either of them this time.
'''Erik:''' All looks to be in order here. Hmmm... These readings from your device...they look promising. Very promising, indeed. I daresay this data may yield revolutionary results!
'''Erik:''' Hm? Your chakra opened a bit more, did it? Yes, well, aether is a most mysterious and wonderful thing. I am glad this meaningful research could serve your nonsensical ends as well.
'''Erik:''' Now, leave me to my work. Surely you can find some simple way to pass the time. Fighting, say? Or...I don't know——scratching?

{{#lsth:Wyvern Obsidian|Gathered}}
==Steps==
*Speak with [[Wide Gulley]].
*Speak with [[Hrodger]].
*Deliver [[Wyvern Obsidian|chunks of wyvern obsidian]] to [[Wide Gulley]]. 0/15
*Report to [[Adalberta]].

==Journal==
*Adalberta has a mind to assign you a challenging commission.

*You learn that the guild has received an order for a quantity of high-purity wyvern obsidian, an extremely rare mineral. Conscious of the difficulty you are like to encounter in procuring it, Adalberta has accepted another miner's offer of assistance, and would have the two of you work together. Seek out the miner in question─one Wide Gulley─and discuss the task at hand.

*To your dismay, Wide Gulley greets you with open hostility. He has no intention of cooperating with you, and instead proposes a contest to see who can procure superior-quality wyvern obsidian. In light of your relative inexperience, Wide Gulley offers you all the time you require, and even suggests that you consult the client, Hrodger, should you require more information on the mineral.

*Hrodger tells you that deposits of wyvern obsidian have previously been discovered around Thal's Respite. In addition, he reveals that Wide Gulley is in fact Vice Foreman Deep Canyon's son, and a miner of tremendous talent in his own right. Armed with this information, procure 15 chunks of the purest wyvern obsidian you can find, and deliver them to Wide Gulley.

*After examining the fruits of your labors, Wide Gulley grudgingly concedes that your wyvern obsidian is purer than his own. Brooking no argument, he tells you that he will deliver your haul to Hrodger, and bids you report back to the guildmaster.

*Adalberta is troubled to learn that Wide Gulley turned an already difficult task into a contest. Upon hearing that you bested him, however, her dismay swiftly gives way to astonishment. She proceeds to lavish you with praise, even confessing to a hint of envy, and encourages you to continue exceeding expectations.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Adalberta:''' Ah, [Player]. Just the person. I was about to send for you.
'''Adalberta:''' There's an order I want your help with, see. It comes from the Gladiators' Guild, via the vice foreman himself.
'''Adalberta:''' You recall the time I had you procure obsidian? Well, this time I need you to find ''wyvern'' obsidian, which is a good deal rarer.
'''Adalberta:''' How rare, you ask? Hm. Let's just say I've handled the stuff no more than a dozen times in my life.
'''Adalberta:''' So, yes, it'll be a bugger to find. But don't worry——you won't be working alone.
'''Adalberta:''' It just so happens that one of your guildmates has volunteered for the task.
'''Adalberta:''' And considering how difficult it's like to be, I've decided to have the two of you work together.
'''Adalberta:''' Your partner's name is Wide Gulley, and he's waiting for you on the far side of the stage. Go over and introduce yourself, and he'll tell you everything you need to know. Run along, now. Oh, and good luck!
===Speaking to Wide Gulley===
'''Wide Gulley:''' You must be [Player], the guildmaster's pet. Aye, I've heard much an' more about ''you''.
'''Wide Gulley:''' They tell me you've got talent. Trouble is, you're an ''adventurer'', an' anyone with an onze of sense knows adventurers can't be trusted. Adalberta's sorely mistaken if she thinks you're any different.
'''Wide Gulley:''' Likewise, she's sorely mistaken if she thinks I'm gonna help you find fifteen chunks of wyvern obsidian. I'd sooner fall on my own pickaxe than see you take the credit for my hard work.
'''Wide Gulley:''' That said, I'm not about to risk gettin' kicked out of the guild for disobeyin' a direct order. Luckily, there're other ways to handle this. What do you say to a contest?
'''Wide Gulley:''' It's nigh on as good as cooperatin', an' so long as the client gets what he wants, Adalberta won't have cause to complain, will she?
'''Wide Gulley:''' So here's the deal: we mine for wyvern obsidian separately, an' whoever brings back the better haul——that's to say, the ''purer'' haul——is the winner. Simple, yes?
'''Wide Gulley:''' Now, we both know I've been doin' this a lot longer'n you, an' I won't have it said that I trounced a novice...
'''Wide Gulley:''' So, to make this more interestin', I'll give as long as you want. ...For all the good it'll do you.
'''Wide Gulley:''' Oh, an' you can even go an' talk to the client if you like. His name's Hrodger, an' you'll find him outside the Gladiators' Guild. Might be as he can tell you somethin' useful.
===Speaking to Hrodger===
'''Hrodger:''' Aye, I'm Hrodger. What can I do for you?
'''Hrodger:''' Got yourself into a contest with Wide Gulley, you say? Oof! I don't envy you, mate/[?]...
'''Hrodger:''' I don't know much about mining myself, but I ''do'' know that Wide Gulley is good at his job.
'''Hrodger:''' You can't be Deep Canyon's son without knowing a thing or two about being a miner.
'''Hrodger:''' Anyway, I've no idea whose idea this contest of yours was, but if it means I get goods of better quality, you won't hear any complaints from me.
'''Hrodger:''' Now, you wanted to ask me about wyvern obsidian, didn't you? Well, I'll tell you what little I know, but remember: I'm a gladiator, not a miner.
'''Hrodger:''' Saying that, I haven't graced the bloodsands for a while. Took a nasty blow to the knee, you see. Rest assured, the fellow that dealt it got far worse.
'''Hrodger:''' Anyway, I'm all mended and ready to make my return, and I want it to be glorious——something that'll be sung by the bards.
'''Hrodger:''' So I thought a shiny new sword was in order, and there's nothing like a plumed oak macuahuitl to draw a crowd.
'''Hrodger:''' Why? Because it doesn't have a single piece of metal in it! Macuahuimeh don't as a rule.
'''Hrodger:''' Aye...not a speck of metal, but if you wield it right, the shards of wyvern obsidian embedded in the blade will cut armor like a hot knife through butter. Ah, but I'm rambling. You wanted to know where to find the stuff, not what I plan to do with it.
'''Hrodger:''' Hmmm...I vaguely recall a conversation I had with a miner a while back. We were talking about macuahuimeh—— Oh, did I mention that's what you call more than one macuahuitl? Well, it is. Uh, where was I? Ah, yes——we were chatting about macuahuimeh, and the fellow said that he'd previously dug up wyvern obsidian around Thal's Respite in eastern Thanalan. And that's all I know. Hope it helps!
===Delivering items to Wide Gulley===
'''Wide Gulley:''' What's the matter? Don't tell me you're havin' trouble findin' a paltry fifteen chunks of wyvern obsidian.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Wide Gulley:''' Oh? Managed to scrape together the required amount, did you? Well then, let's see your sorry specimens, just for the sake of formali—— <gasp> Bugger me!
'''Wide Gulley:''' They're black as night! This is some of the purest stuff I've ever seen...
'''Wide Gulley:''' How in the seven hells did you find these!? You, a mere adventurer!
'''Wide Gulley:''' Grrr... I'm loath to admit it, but your obsidian's superior to mine.
'''Wide Gulley:''' Well, it might be as you've bested me on quality, but there's more to bein' a miner than that.
'''Wide Gulley:''' You need to be able to give the client what he wants, when he wants it. In other words, you need speed——without it, quality counts for naught.
'''Wide Gulley:''' I was by far the faster man, so we'll call it a draw. But mark my words, I'll best you next time, both on speed ''and'' quality.
'''Wide Gulley:''' I'll see to it the obsidian gets to Hrodger. In the meantime, why don't you go an' tell the guildmaster all about it. I care not what you say.
===Reporting back to Adalberta===
'''Adalberta:''' Ah, [Player]! How did you find working with Wide Gulley? ...What? He challenged you to a ''contest''? As if the task weren't difficult enough!
'''Adalberta:''' I'm terribly sorry, [Player]. That was hardly fair of him. He's a born miner.
'''Adalberta:''' ...What's that? You ''beat'' him? Truly!? But he's one of the guild's very best! Well done, my lad/[?]!
'''Adalberta:''' Eh? He claimed he was faster, did he? Well, speed ''is'' important. But Wide Gulley set the rules, and by those rules, you won, fair and square.
'''Adalberta:''' You've come a long way, [Player]. A long way. You make me proud to be your mentor.
'''Adalberta:''' At the same time, though, I must admit that the miner in me can't help feeling some envy. But it's that which keeps a veteran like me on my toes——lights a fire in my belly.
'''Adalberta:''' And I wouldn't have it any other way. Keep doing what you're doing, [Player], and I'll do my damndest to keep up! Ha ha ha!

*Deliver [[Chamomile|sprigs of chamomile]] to [[Sandre]]. 0/15

==Journal==
* Fufucha has a mind to assign you a large order.

* As Gridania continues along the path to recovery, so too does trade flourish with her neighbors. Her premise thus established, Fufucha tells you that an order has arrived from Ul'dah for no fewer than two thousand sprigs of chamomile. The herb is known to grow around Oakwood in upper La Noscea. Harvest fifteen sprigs by way of your contribution to the group effort, and deliver them to Sandre.

* You deliver the chamomile to Sandre, who is bemused by the notion that Ul'dahns could have any appreciation for the herb. Trade may flourish between nations, but it would seem that old prejudices die hard.
** ※The next botanist quest will be available from Fufucha upon reaching level 30.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Fufucha:''' As Gridania continues to make headway along the road to recovery, ever more outsiders shall flock to her gates.
'''Fufucha:''' They come here in hopes of trading, and Gridania must welcome them if she is to forge stronger bonds with her neighbors and prosper. Make no mistake, [Player], busy times lie ahead.
'''Fufucha:''' Verily, we have just now received an order for no fewer than two ''thousand'' fine-quality sprigs of chamomile from the Quicksand in Ul'dah. So run along and harvest them, would you? ...I jest, of course! A task of this scale will require more than two hands. If you would be so good as to procure, say, fifteen sprigs, I would consider it an appropriate contribution.
'''Fufucha:''' Chamomile is well known for its fragrant aroma and soothing properties. There is satisfaction to be had in ensuring that folk from every corner of the realm can sample the delights of this great staple, do you not agree?
'''Fufucha:''' The herb is abundant in upper La Noscea, around Oakwood to be precise. Once you have harvested fifteen sprigs, pray deliver them to Sandre.
===Delivering items to Sandre===
'''Sandre:''' So Fufucha has you harvesting chamomile as well, does she? Return here when you have fifteen sprigs, and I'll add them to the pile. While you harvest, I shall ponder how in the seven hells I'm supposed to ship them all...
'''Cutscene'''
'''Sandre:''' ...thirteen, fourteen, fifteen! Aye, precisely fifteen sprigs of chamomile. My thanks, friend.
'''Sandre:''' <sniff> Ahhh, that distinct aroma! There's nothing like chamomile tea to calm the nerves. It's the perfect way to end the day, I reckon.
'''Sandre:''' Now all I have to do is wait for your fellow harvesters to bring the rest, pack the lot, and drag it all to the airship landing... <sigh> I expect I will have earned a cup or two of tea when that's done——though I rather suspect it will be the very ''last'' thing I fancy.
'''Sandre:''' I don't know if Fufucha mentioned, but this batch is bound for Ul'dah. It would seem the lords and ladies there have developed a taste for chamomile tea.
'''Sandre:''' Developed a taste, I said, but like as not they drink it just to impress their neighbors. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if each cup was served on a golden saucer.
'''Sandre:''' Ack, but there I go again spouting my old prejudices. It's a bad Gridanian habit, I know. Sooner or later, I'll have to get rid of it. Don't want a visiting Ul'dahn to splash hot tea in my face now, do I!? Hah hah hah!

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Jehantel:''' Ah, that glint of determination in your eyes is a testament to your newfound strength. You put me in mind of my salad days, [Player].
'''Jehantel:''' Hm? You would know why I ''truly'' abandoned the battlefield and became a bard?
'''Jehantel:''' That I took an arrow in the knee is what most folk believe...but it is quite clear you are not "most folk." Very well. I shan't insult your intelligence with an untruth.
'''Jehantel:''' For now, allow me to answer by saying that everything in creation is given to change, and man most of all. I was drawn to the power of song——the power to touch the very souls of men——and decided that I must pursue it.
'''Jehantel:''' Sadly, that power has been all but forgotten in this age of cynicism. Such songs as those performed by tavern bards serve no purpose beyond the amusement of drunkards.
'''Jehantel:''' But that was not always the way of it. There was a time when song could shape the outcome of conflict.
'''Jehantel:''' Ever since nations first quarreled, armies have fielded archers wherewith they rained death upon the enemy from afar. As the battle unfolded, however, the distinction between the lines of friend and foe would grow hazy. Yet the archer's part did not end there.
'''Jehantel:''' He had to stay ever alert, with arrow nocked and eyes trained upon the struggle.
'''Jehantel:''' Even as his comrades fell, turning the earth red with their blood, the archer could ill afford to avert his gaze, lest that moment cost another his life.
'''Jehantel:''' One need not have a vivid imagination to appreciate the torrent of emotions that raged within him in that moment.
'''Jehantel:''' Nerves near to fraying, his breast fit to burst, the archer did the only thing he could: he sang. His bow became a makeshift instrument, plucked as an accompaniment.
'''Jehantel:''' At first, the archer sang only to still the roiling within. But his voice chanced to carry to his comrades. It inspirited those engaged in combat, lending strength to their sword arms. And to those who lay upon the precipice of death, it granted a measure of peace.
'''Jehantel:''' Realizing the tactical potential of song, yet loath to set aside skilled archers for that purpose, armies began raising dedicated regiments of minstrels.
'''Jehantel:''' But the members of such units were no warriors, [Player].
'''Jehantel:''' Fair of voice and nimble of finger, these career minstrels could find a place in the hall of any lord.
'''Jehantel:''' Yet they knew naught of the burden borne by those who charge into battle——whose lot is to dance with death and sup on pain. And so their songs ran hollow, holding no power over the hearts of men.
'''Jehantel:''' In eastern La Noscea, spirits are said to haunt the trees of Raincatcher Gully. I would ask you to travel there and await the emergence of these specters.
'''Jehantel:''' Through force of arms you are to release the spirits from their tormented existence and, in the doing, ease their unfathomable suffering. With such a deed might you draw forth an ancient melody from the Soul of the Bard.
===Reporting back to Jehantel===
'''Jehantel:''' Welcome back, [Player]. In your eyes I see a layer of understanding...of regret, and of futility. And in your heart? It now echoes with the strains of an old song, newly discovered.
'''Jehantel:''' Embrace this song, and as you play it in battle shall ever more powerful emotions beset and temper your soul. When your stock of tales has grown, pray return and regale me with stories of your adventures.

*Roroton, the merchant for whom you previously crafted a pair of malachite earrings, has commissioned you to make a fire brand of peerless quality. Craft the item to the best of your ability and present it to Serendipity for inspection.

*As usual, [[Gigi]] assists with the evaluation of your work. However, in an unusual turn of events, your fire brand appears to trigger bizarre pyromaniac tendencies hidden deep within the mammet's soul. Nevertheless, Serendipity assures you that there is no need for concern, and that she will see that Roroton receives his order without incident.

*The next goldsmith quest will be available from Serendipity upon reaching level 40.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Serendipity:''' I've been waiting for you, [Player].
'''Serendipity:''' You remember Roroton, the merchant for whom you made those exquisite earrings? He paid a visit not long ago, hoping to find you present. In fact, he was positively heartbroken that he couldn't speak with you in person.
'''Serendipity:''' Ahaha, it's hard to believe he was once so furious with us! It's as if that unfortunate incident never happened at all!
'''Serendipity:''' But returning to the matter at hand, Roroton has commissioned you to craft a fire brand——one of peerless quality, of course.
'''Serendipity:''' When you've finished, I must insist that I evaluate your work. It's not that I don't trust your craftsmanship, but Roroton is an important client, to say the least.
===Delivering item to Serendipity===
'''Serendipity:''' Is the fire brand ready yet, [Player]?
'''Cutscene'''
'''Serendipity:''' All right, Gigi! I know this is your first evaluation in a long while, but I'm sure you can handle it!
'''Gigi:''' NE※GIGIGI★※... FiRe...BrAnD...bUrN, bUrN, mAkE iT bUrN tHeM!
'''Gigi:''' GiGi Is ThE oNe TrUe LoRd Of ThE iNfErNo! MwAhAhAhAh!!!
'''Serendipity:''' No, Gigi, ''no''! What did I tell you!? ''No fires''!
'''Serendipity:''' Please forgive him, [Player]. I might have knocked something loose when performing maintenance earlier...
'''Serendipity:''' But I'm certain it's nothing important. Really! Other than the occasional outburst, he's been relatively stable... Well, for ''Gigi'', anyway.
'''Serendipity:''' Ah, yes, the scepter! I must say that you've once again done a marvelous job. I'm particularly impressed by how well you set the eye of fire in the scepter.
'''Serendipity:''' This gemstone is the focal point of the design, both aesthetically and practically speaking. It is what allows a thaumaturge to channel the aetherial energies within...
'''Serendipity:''' And it's what transforms the piece from common instrument of death into stunning work of art!
'''Serendipity:''' Any veteran thaumaturge would doubtless be satisfied by both the quality and efficacy of this fire brand. I just know Roroton will be happy to receive it!
'''Gigi:''' I sAy We GiVe HiM tHe GiFt ThAt KeEpS oN gIvInG! i SaY wE gIvE hIm ThE gIfT oF fIrE!
'''Serendipity:''' Gigi! There will be absolutely no gift giving on my watch! Have I made myself clear!?
'''Serendipity:''' <sigh> You can leave the rest to me, [Player]. I'll see that Roroton receives your fire brand——and nothing else!

*Professor Erik has skillfully manipulated you and Widargelt into conducting even more research on his behalf. Travel to Bloodshore in eastern La Noscea and place the aetherometer he has given you at an appropriate location.

*You have measured the aetherial currents at Bloodshore. Retrieve the aetherometer.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Erik:''' Ah, just the pupil I was hoping to see. I was a hair's breadth from setting out on my own. Hmmm, to look at you... Yes, I daresay you appear to have been growing in brawn at the expense of brain.
'''Erik:''' Right, well, let us measure some aether, shall we? And by we I mean you. Oh, and the monk simpleton, of course. Though, contrary to his nature, he has already set out for the destination I assigned him.
'''Erik:''' Thinking perhaps that you are far too stupid to take, much less understand, aetheric readings? It is true——you are stupid. But the aetherometer shall do all the work for you, and transmit the data back to me.
'''Erik:''' As souls more, ahem, ''suited to action'', the monk simpleton and yourself need only carry the device on your person and set about beating on things as you always do. It shall capture data as you trudge about hither and yon.
'''Erik:''' Aether is not only the source of all magicks, but also the fount of all life. Yet despite its ubiquity, it remains imperceptible. When a living thing dies, the aether comprising its life is released. When this discharge takes place, a portion of that aether remains, lingering in the physical world.
'''Erik:''' No doubt you have...<babble>...aetherial crystallizations...<babble>...physical manifestations...
'''Erik:''' ...Apparitions of the deceased...<babble>...luminescent glow...<babble>...known as the ''aetherial threshold''!
'''Erik:''' In short: the more violent and dramatic the loss of life, the greater the amount of aether left behind, either in its imperceptible form or in crystallizations. And where are the most lives lost in this manner?
'''Erik:''' Cemeteries!? No, false, you idiot! Battlefields! Do you not see? With aetheric readings of those locations, we can discern the scale and more of the battles that took place there!
'''Erik:''' As for those fool beliefs the monkhood keeps——chakra and spiritual energies and whatnot——if I ''were'' to allow that they truly exist, I would be inclined to say they are one and the same as aether itself.
'''Erik:''' The aether churning around these ancient battle sites comes to naturally settle in the surrounding life——both plant and animal, though more so in the latter. It accumulates within them. Felling these beasts then releases that aether, causing a surge that resonates with the aether within you, causing it to expand——the so-called opening of the chakra. By this, the very power of life itself within you grows.
'''Erik:''' A watered-down explanation, but adequate for one of your mental prowess, I believe. Mine own wife never had the patience for such things either, nor my passion. She cursed me and my work, took our children, and returned to Ala Mhigo...
'''Erik:''' <sigh> But now is not the time for that tale.
'''Erik:''' The area I am placing in your charge is Bloodshore in eastern La Noscea. Place this aetherometer in an appropriate location, and after a spell, retrieve it and bring it to me.
'''Erik:''' I obtain the data I require, and you and the monk simpleton are afforded the chance to indulge your——how shall I put it?——charming little backward fantasies. All are happy.
'''Erik:''' Ideally, I would prefer you have a knowledgeable understanding of Bloodshore's history, but I fear we lack the time for me to educate you. I need hardly tell you that my research takes precedence over your schooling.
===Delivering item to Erik===
'''Erik:''' Have you brought the aetherometer?
'''Erik:''' Hmmm... It seems the device has suffered some damage. I suppose such things are unavoidable in this line of work. I must see to its repairs at once. That is, after all, why I put up here at the Goldsmiths' Guild.
'''Erik:''' My aetherometer is no ordinary device. I came up with the elaborate design myself, had the finest engineers at Garlond Ironworks draft the schematics, and then commissioned the most talented goldsmiths to fabricate it.
'''Erik:''' Widargelt delivered the results of his outing not long ago. I must insist that you take your leave of me now. There is a wealth of data for me to analyze, and I fear that simply having you nearby will somehow affect the processing power of my brain.
'''Erik:''' Repairing the aetherometer and determining which locations to next investigate will require some time. Why don't you go and train those muscles of yours or whatever it is you do in my absence?

*Lieutenant Mimio is looking for a few good soldiers.

*The member nations of the Eorzean Alliance do not see eye to eye in all matters. Nevertheless, their disagreements have not been irreconcilable─until now. Control of the Carteneau Flats is to be decided on the field of battle, and Lieutenant Mimio would have you fight for the Immortal Flames. Speak with the Free Brigade flyer to learn more of this new conflict, and to decide if you wish to become involved.

*Civilized violence. Civilized war. The concept seems contradictory, if not ludicrous, yet your fellow soldiers take no issue with this proposed resolution. It is clear now that the Immortal Flames will not be swayed from their course. You, however, are yet free to decide. To embrace this cause, or to renounce it─it is your choice.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Mimio Mio:''' Ah, Private [Surname]. If you have a moment, I would discuss a matter most grave which concerns the Flames——and by extension, ''you''.
'''Mimio Mio:''' Perchance you're familiar with the Battle of Carteneau? Countless Eorzeans and Garleans massacred by an elder primal, end of an era, and so forth? Good, good. For a moment, I feared you had been living in a cave for the past five years.
'''Mimio Mio:''' Then surely you know that the Carteneau Flats, where the battle took place, is a hellish wasteland littered with the remnants of that fateful day.
'''Mimio Mio:''' Hardly anything of consequence to be found there now, eh? Certainly nothing worth protecting. And yet, in spite of that, the Eorzean Alliance continues to maintain a military presence in the region. Why do you suppose that is?
'''Mimio Mio:''' Because there ''is'' something there of consequence. Allagan ruins, to be precise. They were discovered following the Calamity, and Allied scholars have been studying them ever since.
'''Mimio Mio:''' Three nations working in tandem for a greater good... It should come as no surprise that it would not last. You see, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania have all formally asserted a claim to the territory. Negotiations have thus far proved fruitless, and so we are to settle the dispute on the field of battle.
'''Mimio Mio:''' Oh, but do not misunderstand! We won't be going to ''war'' with our allies. Hostilities shall be confined to the disputed territories, and we shall fight to submission, not death.
'''Mimio Mio:''' So there is no cause for concern, oh no. You won't be expected to kill your opponent——merely deprive him of the will to fight.
'''Mimio Mio:''' I say ''you'', because the only reason I deign to share this information with you is because your company needs you, Private. We'll be damned if we're going to let a foreign power lay claim to these ruins, and so we need every able-bodied soldier we can muster on the front line.
'''Mimio Mio:''' I expect you still have questions and concerns. Very well——speak with our man at the airship landing. He will tell you everything you need to know.
===Speaking to the Free Brigade Flyer===
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' Private [Surname]! Come to join the fight, have we? Very good, very good indeed!
'''After cutscene'''
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' Now before we proceed, I must warn you: this isn't going to be like some jaunt in the Wolves' Den.
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' You'll be pitted against wave after wave of fellow Alliance members in battle, and they won't care one whit that you're the Warrior of Light.
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' This campaign will be long and brutal, and victories won today may be undone tomorrow. Consider the borderland ruins. We need only seize control of each ruin in the region, right? Wrong. Defense is paramount as well, for our rivals will muster forces to challenge our claims.
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' It is for that reason we have established an airship route direct to the front line. Those who are ready and willing to fight will never want for transportation!
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' Ah, but that look on your face bespeaks confusion. "Are we at war or not? What is this bollocks about no killing? What in the seven hells is going on!?" That's what you're thinking, yes?
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' It's less "war" and more "organized violence to resolve a territorial dispute." And yes, it is to be ''civilized'' violence. Killing Alliance members is strictly prohibited——though accidents have been known to happen, mind you.
'''Free Brigade Flyer:''' But you of all people have nothing to fear! You've escaped certain death more times than I can count; what are the odds you'll fail to do so this time, eh?

==Journal==
*Oboro would bequeath to you that which you have earned.

*Oboro believes that you have proven yourself worthy of inheriting his people's traditional garb, and has thusly ordered a full set to be delivered from his village. As such a shipment would arouse suspicion at the docks, he has arranged for the goods to be delivered to the De Nevelle Checkpoint in middle La Noscea.

*That which awaited you at the checkpoint was not the delivery you sought, but a surprise attack at the hands of a suspicious porter, who you subsequently dispatched. Speak with the shadowy porter cowering beside his compatriot's limp body in hopes of finding out just what manner of skulduggery is going on here.

*Your questioning of the shadowy porter reaches an abrupt end when none other than Karasu appears to silence the tongues of his own men. Karasu claims that the measures he has taken are for your own benefit, as he would see you truly consummate your training before you inherit the garb of the shinobi. To this end, he has entrusted the various pieces to four of his “shadows” that he has deemed expendable. You are to traverse the land and defeat each in single combat to earn what you would claim as yours. Your first challenge awaits at the Red Rooster Stead.

*You dispatch a minion of Karasu's disguised as a milkmaid. Open the crate beside her to claim the piece of ninja garb she had been guarding.

*You lay claim to your first piece of ninja garb. Travel on to Costa del Sol, where your next challenge awaits.

*You dispatch another minion of Karasu's. Open the crate beside her to claim the piece of ninja garb she had been guarding.

*You claim your second piece of ninja garb. Continue on to Jijiroon's Trading Post, where yet another challenge awaits.

*You have dispatched yet another minion of Karasu's, this time disguised as a fisherman. Open the crate beside him to claim the piece of ninja garb he had been guarding.

*You have claimed a third piece of ninja garb. Proceed on to Camp Overlook, where your fourth and final challenge awaits!

*You defeat the last of Karasu's underlings, this one disguised as a trader. Open the crate to collect yet one more piece of ninja garb.

*You obtain the fourth piece of ninja garb, which leaves but one piece remaining to complete the set. Return to the De Neville Checkpoint, where Karasu has promised to give you a little something extra.

*It was not Karasu, but Oboro who greeted you back at the checkpoint, along with a letter stating that the promised surprise will be delivered straight to your doorstep. Oboro fears that this is little more than a thinly veiled threat. Hurry back to the docks and deliver Tsubame from danger!

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' [Player]. I look into your eyes today, and see a mind unclouded by worldly cares. The time has come——I would pass on to you the ancestral garb of the shinobi.
'''Oboro:''' Knowing that this day was close at hand, I have already made the necessary arrangements. With Karasu watching our every move, I cannot act freely, so I asked your friends at the Rogues' Guild to send word to my village and arrange for the delivery of a set.
'''Oboro:''' Needless to say, this location must remain a secret. I have arranged for the goods to be delivered in secret to the De Nevelle Checkpoint. A porter there will be expecting you.
'''Oboro:''' Tsubame and I must express our thanks to your Captain Jacke. Be mindful in your travels, [Player]. We eagerly await your return.
===Speaking to the Suspicious-looking Porter===
'''Suspicious-looking Porter:''' Expectin' a shipment of goods, ye say?
'''Suspicious-looking Porter:''' Now that strikes me as right curious, on account of how a scraggly fellow came by not long ago to claim them.
'''Suspicious-looking Porter:''' They were actually ''yours'', ye say? Well, ain't that a bloody coincidence!
'''Suspicious-looking Porter:''' See, the fellow I talked to said that someone was like to come by sayin' just that... And that if he/she did, he'd pay good coin for me to gut him/her good an' proper.
===Speaking to the Shadowy Porter - cutscene===
'''Shadowy Porter:''' H-Have mercy! If I knew you were this strong, I never would have taken his money!
'''Karasu:''' And if ''I'' knew ''you'' were this incompetent, I would have put you out of your misery long ago.
'''Karasu:''' Well, if it isn't my favorite chirping little horsebird. Oh, come now, I'm not ''that'' scary...am I?
'''Karasu:''' I heard from a little bird in Doma of a shipment en route to Eorzea in secret. I surmised——I'm quite good at that, you see——that it might have something to do with you and your friends, and I just ''had'' to know what was inside.
'''Karasu:''' Lo and behold, what did I find but a shiny set of shinobi garb! Why did you not ''tell'' me it was your nameday, little chick? I would have bought you something far more fitting——like a sack of gysahl greens! Ahahaha!
'''Karasu:''' No, I fear Brother Dim and Sister Swallow are mistaken——you are not quite ready for such an honor. But this is no fault of your own——after all, the student is only as good as his/her teacher.
'''Karasu:''' But today is your lucky day, little chick, for a true master has come to take you under his wing.
'''Karasu:''' Four crates, scattered to the winds, each containing one of the items you seek. Four of my shadows, guarding each piece with their lives. A test, one where failure will mean your death.
'''Karasu:''' Red Rooster Stead. Costa del Sol. Jijiroon's Trading Post. Camp Overlook. Claim that which you seek by your own hand, or die in the act——it is of little matter to me. If by some chance you survive, return here. You just might find a ''very'' special present awaits you. Now shoo, shoo, I say!
===Speaking to the Suspicious-looking Milkmaid===
'''Suspicious-looking Milkmaid:''' Pardon me, milord/[?]. Have you seen my aldgoats anywhere?
'''Suspicious-looking Milkmaid:''' ...Oh, it's you. Don't worry, this won't hurt...much.
===Speaking to the Suspicious-looking Midwife===
'''Suspicious-looking Midwife:''' Oh, dear heavens! I must have fallen asleep while sunbathing. How can I ever thank you for rousing me from slumber?
'''Suspicious-looking Midwife:''' What say I slit your throat and we call it even, eh?
===Speaking to the Suspicious-looking Puller===
'''Suspicious-looking Puller:''' What's with the dour face, lad/lass? Fish just not bitin' today?
'''Suspicious-looking Puller:''' Maybe they know you're already a dead man/[?]...?
===Speaking to the Suspicious-looking Trader===
'''Suspicious-looking Trader:''' Whatever possessed me to set up shop in this ungodly place!? I'm like to drop dead from the fumes before I see a single gil in profit!
'''Suspicious-looking Trader:''' 'Course, if I bring yer head back to Karasu, I'll be set for life!
===Waiting at destination - cutscene===
'''Oboro:''' ...[Player]. I am relieved to see you safe. When you did not return, I feared the worst.
'''Oboro:''' Karasu did ''what''!? Forgive me... I never suspected he would target you on your own. It is clear now that his treachery knows no bounds.
'''Oboro:''' And yet, it is curious. Again, he chose to test you rather than dispatch you by his own hand. His intentions remain as inscrutable as ever... Hm. What's this?
'''Oboro:''' ...Karasu!
'''Oboro:''' "Welcome back, [Player]! And hullo to you as well, Oboro. I left the present I promised you on your doorstep. Such a shame that you weren't at home..."
'''Oboro:''' Th-The docks! Tsubame... Byakubu... Yomei... We must hurry!
'''Oboro:''' [Player], I realize it is far too early in your training for this, but the situation is grim. Our only hope of surviving the battle ahead is for you to learn the mudra Jin.
'''Oboro:''' This is the mudra that will allow you to harness the energies of your fellow man. It is also the final mudra that I can teach you.

*Keep lookout from the rooftop.

*Speak with [[Tsubame]].

*Serve the [[Mulled Wine|bottle of mulled wine]] to [[Wolfstan]].

*Report to [[Oboro]].

*Keep watch in [[Aleport]].

*Speak with [[Oboro]] at the dock storehouse.

==Journal==
*Oboro is ready to proceed with the operation.

*Oboro would first take up position high on the rooftops, out of sight. He explains that while a shinobi can cover great distances with Shukuchi, the technique only works effectively on level ground. Tsubame has taken up position at an ideal starting point. Follow her lead to reach the rooftop where Oboro awaits, and keep lookout with your fellow shinobi for Wolfstan's arrival.

*A man Oboro quickly identifies as Wolfstan has arrived in Camp Bronze Lake. Finding Oboro's proposed method less than convincing, Tsubame proposes an alternative plan for extracting the desired information from your target. Descend from the rooftops and rendezvous in secret with the kunoichi.

*You meet with Tsubame, who has given new meaning to “hiding in plain sight” with the help of a very revealing disguise. She hands you a bottle of liquor, instructing you to bring it to her once she has succeeded in addling Wolfstan's wits sufficiently.

*The operation proves a rousing success─Wolfstan is no match for Tsubame's feminine wiles, and you have emerged with information vital to predicting Karasu's movements. Reunite with Oboro and plot your next course of action.

*Oboro rejoices at the operation's success, while swallowing his pride at being unable to contribute in a more meaningful capacity. With Grymuwil's destination─and in turn, that of Karasu─ascertained, you and your fellow shinobi agree to hasten to Aleport, that you might get the first strike on your enemy.

*You successfully make your way past Karasu's defenses, but your assassination attempt ends with a familiar result─your ever-evasive prey slipping through your fingers. Tasting his most bitter defeat yet, however, has left Oboro more resolute than ever. Regroup at the dock storehouse and inquire as to your next course of action.

*Though frustrated at this latest failure, Oboro is convinced that with your growing skills, it will not be long before the three of you can stand against Karasu in earnest. You resolve to take your experiences to heart and train as you have never trained before.
**※The next ninja quest will be available from Oboro upon reaching level 45.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' I trust that Shukuchi is now second nature to you? Very well. I shall await you on the rooftop, but be warned: while the technique will allow you to cover great distances in the blink of an eye, it does not allow you to soar at will through the sky.
'''Oboro:''' The ledge on which Tsubame now stands is at a level with the roof, and should prove a suitable starting point. That said, a shinobi is ever resourceful——if you would make your way to the rooftop by other means, that will serve just as well.
===Waiting at destination - cutscene===
'''Wolfstan:''' Nothin' like a steamin' bath, a bottle o' fine wine, and a couple o' buxom wenches to ease what ails ye, aye? As far as I'm concerned, Cap'n Grymuwil can take 'is bloody time!
'''Oboro:''' ...Wolfstan.
'''Oboro:''' Very well. Now, we need only employ these bamboo breathing pipes, descend underwater, and...
'''Tsubame:''' O-Oboro. I do not question that such methods have served us well in Doma, but might bamboo not arouse suspicion in these environs?
'''Oboro:''' Do you truly believe so? B-But underwater surveillance was always my area of expertise...
'''Tsubame:''' I have an idea that I believe is well suited both to our target and the customs of the land. It will require just a simple change of garb and a bottle or two of fine spirits...
'''Tsubame:''' I will require your assistance, [Player]. As I see it, there's no way the man would refuse a drink from a strapping gentleman like yourself.
'''Oboro:''' Intriguing! And what, pray tell, will be ''my'' role in all of this?
'''Tsubame:''' Er, I was thinking that, ah, ''your'' talents might best be put to use ''overseeing'' the operation. Yes, ah, from up here. To ensure that nothing goes amiss, of course.
'''Tsubame:''' I must prepare now, [Player]. Meet me down below, out of sight, and I shall furnish you with the item that will serve to deliver the final blow, as it were.
===Speaking to Tsubame===
'''Tsubame:''' Am I wearing this properly, [Player]? I am not accustomed to garb that is so...revealing.
'''Tsubame:''' Regardless, I will entrust this to you. Though it may appear to be a simple bottle of wine, I have made a few ''enhancements'' to the recipe.
'''Tsubame:''' Off duty or no, a salty sea dog like Wolfstan is certain to be on his guard. I'll start him off with an untainted vintage. Once he's in sufficiently good spirits, that's your cue to step in with the stronger stuff.
'''Tsubame:''' I suspect that once his mind is sufficiently addled, he will gladly take a swig with a minimum of fuss. Now, let us begin!
===Delivering item to Wolfstan===
'''Wolfstan:''' Fine wine and fine wenches! Now ''this'' is what I had in mind when I took up the piratin' life!
'''Wolfstan:''' What's this? Think ye can outguzzle Wolfstan Seven-Stomachs? Yer either a legend or a fool! Har har——someone fetch me a cup!
'''Wolfstan:''' Aye, that'sh the——hic!——good shtuff, if a bit shtronger than I——hic!——recall it. Maybe I should——hic!——take a resht...
'''Tsubame:''' Oh, you mustn't be so modest! Why, I 'eard that Wolfstan Seven-Stomachs once drank a whale under the table!

'''Tsubame:''' Your ''duties''? Why, that sounds so ''important'' and ''exciting''! I'd do ''anything'' to hear more!
'''Wolfstan:''' Did ye shay——hic!——''anythin'''? Har har har! Well, maybe ye've 'eard o' the Bloody Executioners? The nastiest, bloodiest band o' piratesh whatever——hic!——shailed the bleedin' sheash!?
'''Wolfstan:''' I reckon our Cap'n Grymuwil's shunk more Garlean vesshels than every other pirate——hic!——combined. And just who do ye reckon keeps the cap'n shafe from all the enemies 'e's made? Why that'd be none other'n hish dear mate——hic!——Wolfshtan.
'''Tsubame:''' The Navigator have mercy! Should you not return immediately to your captain? Surely, he is not safe without his most loyal, capable man at his side!
'''Wolfstan:''' Under normal circumshtanches, ye'd be——hic!——right, lass. But there's one plashe even I can't follow 'im——Aleport! Aye, the man is bloody ''particular'' about 'is——hic!——grog. Shays he can't——hic!——conshentrate unlesh 'e'sh on 'ish own...
'''Wolfstan:''' Not that I'm——hic!——complainin'. It'sh the only time we get a day'sh resht. But don't worry yer little 'eart none, lasshie. Nobody knowsh the cap'n's whereaboutsh but——hic!——me, and I sure as bloody 'ellsh ain't talkin'! Har har!
'''Wolfstan:''' ...Lasshie? Are ye lishtenin'?
'''Wolfstan:''' That'sh——hic!——curioush. She wash jusht——hic!——there a moment——hic! Hic! Hic! Urrrkkk...
===Reporting back to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' Well? Were you able to loosen our man's lips?
'''Oboro:''' ...I see. Captain Grymuwil is en route to Aleport——and alone, at that.
'''Oboro:''' If I know Karasu, this knowledge has not escaped him. Doubtless he and his shadows already lie in wait.
'''Oboro:''' We haven't much time. Let us hurry to Aleport and ambush the ambushers!
===Waiting at destination - cutscene===
'''Oboro:''' The sun sets, and the port is cloaked in shadow. If there were a perfect time to strike...
'''Oboro:''' ...Speak of the devil. Look at how those men walk——those are no ordinary deckhands.
'''Oboro:''' Those are imperial shinobi, waiting to pounce upon and slit the throat of any who would stand between them and their prey.
'''Oboro:''' Karasu is too proud to entrust such a vital mission to his lackeys. He is here somewhere——of this I am certain.
'''Oboro:''' [Player], you move forward and search the docks. I will approach from the opposite direction. Tsubame, you secure the escape route——he will not elude us this time.
'''Tsubame:''' Take care to stay well hidden, [Player]——hidden from the eyes of Karasu's shadows. And yet, I fear your task will be more complicated still...
'''Tsubame:''' For it is not just men that serve Karasu, but creatures of the night. Creatures that see not with their eyes, but with every fiber of their being. Give them a wide berth, or all shall be for naught.
'''Oboro:''' That should be all. Time is short. We must move swiftly!
'''Cutscene Pt. 2'''
'''Karasu:''' Wh-What's this!? No, no, ''NO''! This isn't how the story goes! I'm supposed to be the one that surprises ''you''!
'''Oboro:''' The tables have turned today, Karasu! Now face your death like the man you once were!
'''Karasu:''' I must say, popularity really does have its downsides. Fine! If you're so eager to dig your own graves, here's your bloody shovel!
'''Solo duty'''
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' I'm sorry to run——''truly'', I am——but there's someone very important I need to be killing.
'''Tsubame Sunrise:''' There will be no escape for you this time, you traitorous dog!
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' I know you love me, little swallow, but sometimes you just have to let go!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' I will let my blade go into your chest. Say your prayers, demon!
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' Well, looky here! Too bad you didn't realize that there's more than one...way...out!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' Curses! We had him just where we wanted him!
'''Cutscene Pt. 1'''
'''Oboro:''' Gah! The slippery bastard!
'''Oboro:''' We have come too close to abandon hope. Come, Tsubame, [Player]. Let us return to the safety of the storehouse and take stock of our options.
'''Cutscene Pt. 2'''
'''???:''' Grymuwil lives. Failure of this sort...does not become you, Karasu.
'''Karasu:''' F-Forgive me, Master. I had an unexpected reunion with some friends. Seems they had a mind to kill me. And just when I thought we were getting on so well...
'''???:''' Your job is to give me answers, Karasu, not excuses. We can ill afford to let a few stray rats foil our plans. Should they return, kill them.
'''???:''' This is your final warning. The next time you fail me will be your last.
'''Karasu:''' <gulp> Does he have to say it like ''that''? Fine, fine... Let it never be said that I'm not a loyal soldier!
===Reporting back to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' Bah! Once more, the bloody crow has managed to foil our best-laid plans.
'''Oboro:''' It is as if his skills burgeon with each encounter. But how could this be? Has he perfected some new training regimen since coming to Eorzea?
'''Oboro:''' But there is no time to dwell on past mistakes. Since the times of my ancestors, failure in one's duty is unacceptable for a shinobi. My mission will end in success——Karasu's death——or failure...my own.
'''Oboro:''' But all is not lost. Karasu is not the only one who has honed his skills. Fighting beside you back there, at times it felt as if we had trained together since childhood.
'''Oboro:''' You have shown remarkable focus and aptitude for our art, but you must grow stronger still if we are to have any hope of triumph. Devote yourself to your training with the entirety of your body and mind, and Tsubame and I will do the same. I await your return, [Player].

==Walkthrough==
The quest coordinates are deceiving - you actually need to find the dock storehouse and talk to [[Byakubu]] at (X:21.2 Y:26.6) to enter, then you are teleported to the quest location.

==Steps==
*Speak with Oroboro inside the storehouse.
*Speak with Oroboro at [[Camp Bronze Lake]].

==Journal==
*Oboro believes the time has come to take your talents to the field.

*Impressed with your progress, Oboro has decided that your training will continue in the field...as a full-fledged participant in his mission to assassinate Karasu. Having received word that the imperial espionage unit under Karasu's command means to target Captain Grymuwil of the Bloody Executioners, Oboro intends to ascertain the traitor's whereabouts by interrogating one Wolfstan, the captain's trusted lieutenant. Make for Camp Bronze Lake in upper La Noscea, where Oboro will brief you in detail on the plan of attack.

*Oboro imparts to you the technique of Shukuchi, which he explains will afford you an ideal vantage point for your surveillance. When you are ready to proceed with the mission, speak with him once more.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' You have trained well since we last met, [Player]. I heard not a cry from the door as you entered, nor a creak from the floorboards as you drew near.
'''Oboro:''' This much is clear: neither waterfalls nor men of wood will serve to hone your senses further. No, a shinobi of your abilities receives his/her tutelage in the field. Consider this your first lesson in the art of assassination.
'''Oboro:''' I need not remind you who our target is. He is ever the elusive bird, and yet I have come across some information that I believe may avail us.
'''Oboro:''' Rumor has it that Captain Grymuwil of the Bloody Executioners has narrowly evaded several attempts on his life in recent days. This is doubtless the work of Karasu and his men——none other are so bold or skilled as to even consider such an attack.
'''Oboro:''' Nothing short of death will cause a shinobi to forsake his mission. Karasu ''will'' strike again——the only questions are ''where'' and ''when''.
'''Oboro:''' Answer those questions, and it will be us paying him a surprise visit next time. Fortunately, I know of a man who might be able to give us what we seek.
'''Oboro:''' Captain Grymuwil has a trusted lieutenant by the name of Wolfstan, a man who——if rumors are to be believed——is known to fancy a hot spring bath. I recall reading of a famous bath resort not far from here, but the name escapes me... Have you any idea where it might be?
'''Where might an Eorzean go to bathe?'''
* Costa del Sol.
'''Oboro:''' That is an ocean resort, is it not? The place of which I read was on higher ground, and known for its healing baths...
* Camp Overlook.
'''Oboro:''' Yes! It was Camp——no. That cannot be right. The issue of the ''Harbor Herald'' I read earlier spoke of Camp Overlook as a bastion of defense against some unpleasant creatures called kobolds. It sounds like the last place anyone would go for rest and relaxation.
* Camp Bronze Lake.
'''Oboro:''' Why, yes, that does sound familiar! In upper La Noscea, off to the east, was it? Let us make our way there at once.
===Speaking to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' I had no idea that so many Eorzeans also enjoyed public bathing. I would say it is a comforting sight, but in truth it makes me all the more nostalgic for the pleasures of my homeland.
'''Oboro:''' That said, seeing all these people milling about gives me cause for concern. Even with these disguises, it is only a matter of time before our foreign mannerisms raise eyebrows among the more observant types.
'''Oboro:''' Yes, best we stay out of sight until our man arrives. Let us keep watch from high above until it is time to act.
'''Oboro:''' The time has come for me to impart to you another technique, which we call ''Shukuchi''. You may think of it as compressing the physical space around you, allowing you to cross great distances in the blink of an eye. Go ahead, [Player], give it a try.

==Journal==
*Aileen, the Adventurers' Guild representative for local levequests in Wineport, is seeking an adventurer to undertake guildleves

*In order to gauge your ability to handle the various guildleves she has to offer, Aileen requires that you carry out a preliminary task.

*You have successfully completed the trial guildleve. Report to Aileen in Wineport.

*Aileen is now confident that you are capable of handling any of the trials and tribulations you might encounter around Wineport. Prove your worth as an adventurer, and continue to undertake the guildleves she has to offer.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Aileen:''' Looking for work to fund our wine habit, are we?
'''Aileen:''' The Adventurers' Guild has assigned me to Wineport so that I might distribute guildleves to the willing and able.
'''Aileen:''' Depending on what skills you possess, I may have suitable work for you. Beast culling, crafting, gathering, and so forth.
'''Aileen:''' That said, my offer is contingent upon you first demonstrating your capacity to complete a contract.
'''Aileen:''' The La Noscean wilderness is fraught with peril, so it behooves me to test your ability to survive in it.
'''Aileen:''' While these goobbues are wont to devour anything and everything, they have a fondness for pelican meat.
'''Aileen:''' Your task will be to slay a pelican and use its remains to lure out the ravenous goobbues.
'''Aileen:''' The area in which the goobbues were last sighted is fairly large, so this may take a fair amount of time. Be warned, however, that other hungry creatures may be drawn to the meat.
===Reporting back to Aileen===
'''Aileen:''' Oh, you actually completed the trial. I suppose you'll be wanting this, then.
'''Aileen:''' You've proven yourself competent, which is well. If you desire additional guildleves, I will not deny you.
'''Aileen:''' You can drink whilst you work for all I care. As long as the client is satisfied, so am I.

==Walkthrough==
The quest coordinates are deceiving - you actually need to find the dock storehouse and talk to [[Byakubu]] at (X:21.2 Y:26.6) to enter, then you are teleported to the quest location.

==Steps==
*Use [[Raiton]] on the mokujin.

*Speak with [[Oboro]].

*Use [[Katon]] on the mokujin.

*Speak with [[Oboro]].

*Speak with [[Fool Falls]].

*Speak with [[Oboro]].

*Speak with [[Oboro]] at the dock storehouse.

==Journal==
*Oboro would impart a new mudra to his promising pupil.

*Having learned your second mudra from Oboro, you are now capable of wielding mudra combinations. By forming the mudra Ten and Chi─in that order─you can channel the power of heaven and earth to wield the ninjutsu Raiton, or lightning release. Demonstrate the technique for Oboro on the mokujin outside the storehouse.

*You have successfully wielded Raiton, sending crackling bolts of lightning coursing through the mokujin, whose wooden limbs thankfully feel no pain. Speak with Oboro to hear his assessment of your technique.

*Duly impressed with your prowess in wielding your first mudra combination, Oboro imparts to you a second. By reversing the order and forming the mudra for Chi followed by Ten, you can wield the ninjutsu Katon, or fire release. Unleash the skill on the poor mokujin, who clearly has not taken enough punishment.

*A flaming inferno flies from your fingers and torches the mokujin, who, being the sturdy sort, appears to be none the worse for wear. Speak with Oboro in front of the storehouse and see if your technique meets his satisfaction.

*Satisfied that you have grasped the basics of mudra combinations, Oboro would have you continue your training in the traditional Doman fashion. Accompany your instructor to Fool Falls in upper La Noscea.

*What was to be a peaceful and meditative training session amidst the tumbling waters is interrupted by Karasu, who mocks his erstwhile countrymen before assailing the both of you. Wielding your newfound talents to the best of your ability, you and Oboro manage to stand your ground against this formidable foe, who departs the scene with a swift stealthiness reminiscent of his namesake. Take a deep breath, calm your mind, and speak with Oboro to hear his thoughts on these events.

*Oboro expresses his displeasure at his own carelessness and inability to foresee Karasu's ambush. Accompany him back to the dock storehouse to regroup and assess your next course of action.

*Oboro reflects upon the events at the falls, and surmises from Karasu's words and actions that your foe sought not to kill you, but merely to test your strength. At the same time, he reaffirms his belief that you will prove a valuable ally to the two Domans in their mission of vengeance, and encourages you to continue to hone your skills.
**※The next ninja quest will be available from Oboro upon reaching level 40.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' Chi, or "earth," marks the second mudra that you have learned. With this, you are ready to begin the next phase of your training.
'''Oboro:''' It is through the combination of mudra that you will find new techniques. The first technique I would impart to you is Raiton, lightning release.
'''Oboro:''' "When heaven joins with earth, lightning will flash and thunder will roll."
'''Oboro:''' In other words, form the mudra Ten followed by Chi. Channel that energy forward, and bolts of lightning will surge from your hands to strike your foe.
'''Oboro:''' As this is a more formidable technique than the Fuma Shuriken you have wielded thus far, I have taken care to reinforce the mokujin outside the storehouse. Strike it with Raiton, and I shall observe.
===Speaking to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' Very well. Now, recall what I said during our first lesson: the techniques at your disposal are created not merely by ''which'' mudra you form, but also the ''order'' in which you combine them.
'''Oboro:''' "When earth joins with heaven, the skies will rain fire and ash." In other words, form the mudra Chi followed by Ten and channel those energies forward, and searing hellsfire will engulf your foes.
'''Oboro:''' But be forewarned: these techniques require considerable exertion of your spirit. After performing one, you will observe that some time is required before your mind settles and you are able to wield another. Now, demonstrate Katon for me on the mokujin over there.
===Speaking to Oboro again===
'''Oboro:''' Splendid! Your grasp on fundamental mudra combinations is firm. But knowing the ''how'' of the technique is only the beginning——you must also understand when to employ it.
'''Oboro:''' ''Chunin'' is our word for a shinobi who has attained full mastery of two-mudra techniques. In our tradition, when a student is deemed by his master to show such potential, he is led to a waterfall outside the village to conduct intense training.
'''Oboro:''' I cannot take you to Doma, of course, but my maps tell me of a place in upper La Noscea that should suffice: Fool Falls. The name is less than auspicious, but it will have to do. Meet me there, and we shall proceed.
===Speaking to Oboro - cutscene===
'''Oboro:''' Until today, I knew this place only as letters on a map. Gazing upon it with my own eyes, it is even more beautiful and powerful than I could have imagined. Yes, this will serve us well.
'''Oboro:''' My people do not worship your deities twelve. ''Our'' gods are all around us——in the trees, in the soil, in the crashing waters before you. Close your eyes and open your heart to the sound of the rushing falls, that you might purge your mind of all worldly thoughts and distractions.
'''Oboro:''' The techniques you have learned will serve you well in battle, but confuse the order of your mudra and you can just as easily turn victory into defeat. It is imperative that you keep a single focus of mind.
'''Oboro:''' So it is that masters have brought their students to falls like this one for training since my ancestors' times.
'''???:''' Who is the more foolish: the fool of Fool Falls, or the fool who comes here without realizing he's been followed?
'''Oboro:''' ...Karasu!
'''Karasu:''' Now here's a curious scene! The dim one is accompanied today not by his swallow but by a chirping horsebird chick who fancies himself a shinobi.
'''Karasu:''' The dim one is displeased! This, after our hero postponed two assassinations to make this little journey! Could his friends not greet him with a smile and some crumpets——or whatever it is Eorzeans take with their tea?
'''Karasu:''' The dim one ponders: how did our hero know to find him here!? Yet the answer is plain as day. The dim one is a creature of habit and tradition——where else would he bring his prized new pupil?
'''Karasu:''' Tradition! Our hero spits on tired tradition! No, for he is a shinobi of a different feather! Ever changing, never predictable...but always——''always''——in style!
'''Karasu:''' Those who cling too closely to tradition are bound to suffer the fate of their forebears. Or are the lessons of the past so soon forgotten?
'''Oboro:''' Ready yourself, [Player]! It appears that your training today will be of a more practical sort.
'''Karasu:''' But of ''course''! All you had to do was ask nicely. It would be my ''pleasure'' to be your teacher for the day.
'''Karasu:''' Your first lesson, little chick: Raiton's lightning will strike a single foe, while Katon's flames will raze many. Wield them wisely, or don't——it's only your life at stake! Kah hah hah!
'''Karasu:''' Oh, how generous is our hero, putting aside his killings and spyings to play mother hen to the horsebird chick! You ''will'' try to keep me entertained, won't you?
'''Solo duty'''
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' The lesson begins! You ''will'' try to make this fun for me, yes?
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' I ''was'' there, but now I'm ''here''! Can you not ''see''?
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' Must they be so ''slow''? Our hero tires of this dull dance!
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' If you're going to kill me, could you be a bit quicker about it?
'''Karasu Redbeak:''' Alas, I fear your teacher has better places to be! But worry not——my pawns will continue the lesson.
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' Karasu! Come back and face me with honor!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' Do not let their numbers daunt you! Keep your focus, and your Katon will blaze a path to safety!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' This one is strong... Keep focus, and your Raiton will strike him down!
===Speaking to Oboro again===
'''Oboro:''' You fought well, [Player]. I, however, should have known to expect the traitor's attack. I was careless, and put you in danger. It will not happen again.
'''Oboro:''' It appears that Karasu has taken an interest in you, and I fear this complicates matters some. Let us return to the docks. There is much I would tell you.
===Speaking to Oboro once again - cutscene===
'''Oboro:''' I would tell you a story of our past. A story of the traitor, and why he must die at our hands.
'''Oboro:''' Growing up in the same village, I have known Karasu since we were both children. When we came of age, we began our training together under Master Gekkai.
'''Oboro:''' From a young age, it was clear that Karasu possessed an innate talent for our art that few could rival. I spared no effort in my training, yet I struggled to grasp techniques that he would master effortlessly.
'''Oboro:''' In his own way, he possesses a mind singularly devoid of wasteful thoughts. A mind seemingly unclouded by concepts such as right or wrong, good or evil. Despite this, deep down, I always thought of him as a brother.
'''Oboro:''' All that changed on that fateful day when Castle Doma fell to the Garleans. Someone had betrayed our homeland, sold our secrets to the enemy. Looking upon my friends as their bodies lay broken and bleeding, I saw a figure flee into the hills...it was Karasu.
'''Oboro:''' Were I younger, more naive, I might have pursued Karasu as he fled, in an attempt to reason with him. But it was clear that this man——this ''demon''——was no longer one of us...if, indeed, he ever had been.
'''Oboro:''' Even Master Gekkai did not survive the slaughter. Did Karasu bear him some grudge, or was it merely a student's ugly pride? For our master's fate was the grisliest of all——his body mangled, his once-proud face shattered beyond all recognition.
'''Oboro:''' I once held out hope...hope that if I crossed blades with Karasu in battle, that I might understand something of what it was that made him do those horrible deeds. Yet each encounter only raises more questions.
'''Oboro:''' One thing is clear, however. Karasu could have killed us back at Fool Falls had he seen fit, and yet chose not to. It was as if he were testing us. Testing ''you''...
'''Oboro:''' Needless to say, this does not change our mission. For his crimes against Doma, Karasu must pay with his life. And yet, his thorough knowledge of us and our art has put Tsubame and I at a grave disadvantage.
'''Oboro:''' But ''you'', [Player]...your thoughts, your movements are still unfamiliar to him. Yes, your presence might just serve to break his focus and afford us an opening.
'''Oboro:''' Yet to accomplish this, you must become stronger still. Promise me that you will not let up in your training.

*After proudly displaying his own mastery of a challenging technique─the common Eorzean bow─Oboro teaches you your second mudra. Known as Chi in the Doman tongue, this gesture will allow you to call forth the power of the earth itself. When you are prepared to learn how to wield it in battle, speak with Oboro once more.

'''Oboro:''' Ah, [Player]. It is clear from the manner in which you carry yourself that you have been most diligent in your training.
'''Oboro:''' But you are not the only one who has mastered the technique imparted to you. Behold my Eorzean bow, perfect in balance and form!
'''Oboro:''' ...Ahem. Now, it is time for your next lesson. Watch carefully my hands, [Player]. With this mudra, the shinobi can summon the energies of the earth——''Chi'', in our tongue. Etch its form in your mind, and I shall show you how to employ it in battle.

As your first task, demonstrate the technique for Oboro on the mokujin, or training dummy, that has been set up outside the dock storehouse.

*Oboro deems you ready for the next phase of your training, which will pit you against live opponents. Prepare yourself as necessary, then speak with him when you are ready to do battle.

*By holding your own against Oboro and his summoned minions, you have passed your latest test with flying colors. Speak with Oboro, who is doubtless pleased with your efforts.

*Oboro and Tsubame are most impressed at the swiftness with which you have mastered your first mudra. In return for the lesson you received, you instruct the Domans in the finer points of the Eorzean bow, a gesture that─despite its seeming simplicity─does not come easily to Oboro.

===Accepting the quest===
'''Oboro:''' Yes... I can sense it. Though you are not of our blood, the soul of my people is strong in you. You are one of us now, a shinobi.
'''Oboro:''' ...And yet your training has only just begun.
'''Oboro:''' Heed my words well, [Player]. For the shinobi, blade and mind are one. The weak mind gives rise to a false blade. But the mind that is strong and true? That blade will know no equal.
'''Oboro:''' Such were the teachings of my master, his master, and his master's master before him. The shinobi must keep presence of mind at all times, or his blade may as well be one of grass.
'''Oboro:''' That is the lesson of the mind. Now we shall begin the lesson of the body.
'''Oboro:''' You will recall that the art of ninjutsu involves using hand gestures called mudra to summon the energies of heaven, earth, and man——''Ten'', ''Chi'', and ''Jin'' in the Doman tongue.
'''Oboro:''' Myriad techniques can be unleashed depending on the mudra you combine, and the order in which you do so... But perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. A child must learn to walk before he can run.
'''Oboro:''' To begin, I would see you master your first mudra——Ten, the mudra of heaven. Summon the energy of heaven and project it forth, and from your hand will fly a flaming star, or Fuma Shuriken.
'''Oboro:''' Outside of the storehouse, you will find a ''mokujin''——a wooden man of the sort traditionally used in Doma for training. Do as I have told you and strike it with a Fuma Shuriken. I will observe your technique from a distance.
===Speaking to Oboro===
'''Oboro:''' Yes, that will do, [Player]. Clearly we did not misjudge your potential.
'''Oboro:''' Perhaps you have also felt your body becoming lighter. This is but another benefit of your training. You may find yourself able to dance through the air with your blades drawn. But be mindful: the true shinobi sees that no movement is wasted.
'''Oboro:''' You demonstrated your skills well against the wooden man, but wood does not strike back. Your next opponent will not be so docile. Prepare yourself.
===Speaking to Oboro again - solo duty===
'''Oboro:''' The onibi will attack in waves. Use your Fuma Shuriken to dispatch them from a safe distance.
'''Tsubame:''' Excellent, [Player]!
'''Oboro:''' I shall summon a great beast for your next challenge. Remember: you must maintain presence of mind, no matter how fearsome the foe!
'''Oboro Moonrise:''' For your final challenge, I shall be your opponent. Let us see how well you have learned!
===Speaking to Oboro once again===
'''Oboro:''' ...I see.
'''Tsubame:''' What Oboro means to say is that he's not seen anyone master the fundamentals of ninjutsu with such swiftness. Is that not so, Oboro?
'''Oboro:''' I am capable of speaking for myself, Tsubame. But it is true: [Player] has exceeded even my own expectations. His/Her blade slices through the air as a fish glides through water.
'''Oboro:''' But that is enough training for one day. Now, it is my turn to be the student, and you the teacher. I would learn the ways of Eorzea. You will instruct me, yes?
'''Oboro:''' You have my gratitude, [Player].
'''Oboro:''' First, I would better know the terrain of La Nosc——hm? Is something amusing?
'''Oboro:''' My ''bow''!? I see. Who would have thought a simple gesture of courtesy would be so complicated? Like this, is it? <cough> Urk...
'''Tsubame:''' Forgive him. Oboro has not been quite himself since coming to these shores. It would seem that neither the food nor the climate agrees with him.
'''Oboro:''' And let us not forget the stink of those infernal horsebirds! All the more reason for us to complete our mission swiftly and return to more hospitable environs. Anyhow, [Player], that should suffice for the day. Practice well your ninjutsu, and return when you are ready for your next lesson.
'''Tsubame:''' It would seem you have some practicing to do as well.

==Walkthrough==
The level 20 [[Main Scenario Quests|Main Scenario Quest]] {{questlink|main|Sylph-management}} is required for this quest to unlock. You must unequip your {{item icon|Soul of the Summoner}} or you will not be able to undertake this quest.
 
As referenced in the quest dialogue, {{action icon|Summon Selene|Selene}} was a separate summon from {{action icon|Summon Eos|Eos}} with unique support-focused actions prior to [[patch 4.0]] and the release of ''[[Stormblood]]''.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Alka Zolka]] at the [[Marauders' Guild]].
*Speak with [[Alka Zolka]] in [[eastern La Noscea]].
*Defeat the bandits and reclaim the stolen relics!
*Speak with [[Alka Zolka]].
*Speak with [[Alka Zolka]] at the [[Marauders' Guild]].

==Journal==
* Murie has knowledge of an intriguing opportunity.

* Though marauders are not known for their academic pursuits, one such marauder named Alka Zolka seeks an arcanist to assist him with his archaeological research. Should curiosity overwhelm you, he can be found at the Coral Tower in Limsa Lominsa.

* Alka Zolka's interest in history is a practical one, as he seeks to research the military tactics of Nym, an ancient civilization said to have repulsed would-be invaders time and time again. He had hoped that an arcanist might help analyze any text pertaining to magical arts─that is, if he were in possession of any texts to translate. Alas, the Nymian tablets he purchased were stolen en route to Limsa Lominsa. Journey to the Raincatcher Gully docks in eastern La Noscea, where he suspects the thieves may be found, and help him recover his stolen relics.

* As predicted, the thieves and the relics were both found at the docks. However, Alka Zolka had not anticipated the appearance of an otherworldly creature, one which seemingly burst forth from a crystal you found with the tablets. Hastily translating one of the tablets, Alka Zolka explains that the creature is a faerie, one which once served as the companion of a Nymian scholar. Ask the shocked marauder what he would like to do next.

* Eager to discover what other secrets the tablets contain, Alka Zolka quickly departs for Limsa Lominsa. Perhaps by the time you return to the Coral Tower, he will have learned something new.

* Alka Zolka explains that the crystal you found was the Soul of the Scholar, and that with it, you can call upon the faerie at will. Reasoning that an experienced arcanist would be in a better position to preserve the lost arts, he decides to entrust the crystal to you. Do your utmost to gain mastery over your newfound powers as the marauder continues to decipher the ancient tablets.
** ※The next scholar quest will be available from Alka Zolka upon reaching level 35.

==Dialogue==
Murie: Hmmm... [Forename], have you any interest in history? If so, I would share with you an opportunity to study the ways of the ancients.
Murie: A curiously refined and well-read marauder visited the guild the other day in the hopes he might meet an arcanist of exceptional skill.
Murie: He claims that the assistance of one such individual would be invaluable for the success of his archaeological research. I say “claims,” because despite his eloquence, the thought of a marauder with academic ambitions still strikes me as odd...
Murie: You are, of course, free to formulate your own opinions. His name is Alka Zolka, and he can be found at the Marauders' Guild should curiosity overwhelm you.

Alka Zolka: Thank you for setting aside your preconceptions, [Forename]. I am acutely aware how unusual it is for a marauder to “conduct research,” as it were.
Alka Zolka: However, you shall soon understand that I am not at all like my more muscular brethren. Rather than rush blindly into the enemy's maw, I formulate and execute stratagems to great effect.
Alka Zolka: My archaeological pursuits are but an extension of this practice, for at present I am researching the military tactics of ancient Nym.
Alka Zolka: 'Twould not surprise me if you were unfamiliar with Nym. The civilization flourished some fifteen-odd centuries ago, during the Fifth Astral Era.
Alka Zolka: The Nymians lived during an age of wonders, when the magical arts flourished. But magicks can be wielded for weal or for woe, and this period of peace eventually gave way to the great War of the Magi.
Alka Zolka: The nations of that bygone era brought earth-shattering magicks to bear against one another. Yet Nym, with only a handful of mages to support its army of mariners, repulsed would-be invaders time and time again.
Alka Zolka: Precisely how a military force of this composition could defy its stronger neighbors is a mystery which has long puzzled military historians. By translating extant Nymian tablets which I have recently purchased, I mean to solve the riddle at long last.
Alka Zolka: As my knowledge of arcanima is cursory at best, I require an experienced arcanist to assist me with my analysis of any text pertaining to the magical arts. Will you be that arcanist, [Forename]?
Alka Zolka: There is, however, a complication. The Nymian tablets and other assorted relics─for which I paid an exceedingly large amount of money─were stolen en route to Limsa Lominsa.
Alka Zolka: The information inscribed upon those tablets could be of untold significance! I will not allow thieves to sell it to some rich Ul'dahn collector for a pittance. Pray accompany me to the Raincatcher Gully docks and help me reclaim my relics. I have strong reason to believe the perpetrators can be found there.
Alka Zolka: We must have those tablets, [Forename]. Though I did not seek you out for your combat acumen, pray lend me your magicks this once.
Alka Zolka: As I suspected. They are naught more than broken men who have seized the docks and taken to robbing every passing ship. Come, let us put an end to their banditry and take back what is ours!

Have at thee, knaves!
I may have miscalculated...
Do you see any others? No? Excellent!
Now, help me search for the tablets!

Alka Zolka: Yes, yes! This is it! A treatise on Nymian military tactics, just as I had hoped!
Alka Zolka: ...Hello there.
Alka Zolka: M-Mayhap the tablet can explain this...
Alka Zolka: <mumble> <mumble> Scholars...familiars...faeries!?
Alka Zolka: “The sunlight of Eos doth soothe and shield.”
Alka Zolka: “The moonlight of Selene doth silence and strengthen.”

(-???-) [Forename]...

Alka Zolka: By the Twelve, have you any idea what this means!? We have rediscovered the long-lost magical arts of Nymian scholars!
Alka Zolka: Faeries. Honest-to-gods faeries. Well, now I have seen everything!
Alka Zolka: Anyway, I shall return to the guild and begin translating the tablet. I cannot wait to see what other secrets it contains!
Alka Zolka: Excellent timing, [Forename]. I have just finished transcribing a section which will doubtless be of interest to you.
Alka Zolka: According to the tablet, the crystal from which the faerie sprang forth is called the Soul of the Scholar, and it contains the wisdom of those long-dead Nymian mages.
Alka Zolka: With it, you can call upon the faerie as you did before and bind her to your will.
Alka Zolka: As I said before, I have little knowledge of arcanima, so unless you have some objections, I would like to entrust the crystal to you. Oh, and you needn't recompense me─simply knowing that the lost arts are being preserved is enough.
Alka Zolka: I shall devote my energies to deciphering the remaining text. Should I discover anything new, I promise that you will be the first to know.

System: The next scholar quest will be available from Alka Zolka upon reaching level 35.
System: With the Soul of the Scholar equipped, you can summon a faerie to aid you in battle! When called forth, she will assume the form of a healer-type pet.
System: Moreover, by completing the quest “A Faerie Tale Come True,” you may cast glamours on your faerie familiar, allowing her to take on other appearances.

System: You have unlocked a new job! You can change to this job at any time by equipping the soul crystal received from this quest.
System: When changing jobs, gear sets will allow you to register and save your equipment. You may then use them to switch between jobs instantly without the need to manually equip weapons or equipment.
System: A button for the Gear Set interface is located in the upper portion of the Character window.

==Journal==
*Lalai has another task to strengthen your connection to the black.

*Lalai has handed down yet another prophecy from her Master. You are to travel to eastern Thanalan, and once there, enter a cave located behind Burgundy Falls. In its depths, locate and speak with Kazagg Chah, the Amalj'aa who first gifted you with the Gem of Shatotto.

*Kazagg Chah believes that you are the %Race of prophecy, but would have you face death once again so as to prove your readiness to serve your final purpose. When you are fully prepared, journey to the Silent King in western Thanalan and speak with Dozol Meloc.

*The Ixal Dozol Meloc has commanded you to close the nearby planar fissure. As before, investigate the fissure and obtain the blood of whatever fiends might emerge from it.

*You have slain the dread ahriman which spawned from the fissure. Pour the blood obtained from the voidsent into the remaining planar fissure.

*You have closed the planar fissure. Speak again with Dozol Meloc.

*The Ixal seems impressed at your skill with the darkmagicks. For the next stage of your trial, Dozol Meloc bids you seek out 269th Order Mendicant Da Za north of the Silent King.

*It would seem yet another planar fissure exists which must be sealed. Do for Da Za what you did for Dozol Meloc: investigate the fissure and slay any fiends that emerge.

*Once again, you have slain the ahriman that came forth from the void and taken a measure of its blood. Pour the liquid into the remaining planar fissure.

*You have sealed yet another of the dark voids. Speak with Da Za to hear his thoughts.

*Da Za seems to share Dozol Meloc's high opinion of your arcane skills. Report your successes to Kazagg Chah, who has been overseeing the trial.

*Kazagg Chah expresses his approval of your showing in the latest trial. He bids you return to Burgundy Falls in eastern Thanalan so that you and he might speak further of the challenges to come.

*Having borne witness to both your ability and resolve, Kazagg Chah confides in you the prophetic words of his forebears, and vows to aid however he might in the fulfillment of your purpose.
**The next black mage quest will be available from Kazagg Chah upon reaching level 45.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Lalai:''' [Player], I see in your eyes the look of a man/woman prepared to take on the daunting responsibilities of the black mage.
'''Lalai:''' There are few who know of our existence, even among those versed in the ways of magic. You will not find mention of us in all but the most esoteric of texts.
'''Lalai:''' Yet the secrets of our dark art lie encrypted here, within the forbidden library of this Sacrarium.
'''Lalai:''' Master himself deciphered and read the texts, some hundred years past. It is said the first of our kind were the favored of Nald'thal, and it was He who entrusted them with the duty of sealing the voidgate.
'''Lalai:''' But as you well know, the power of black magic lies in its great potential for destruction. The slightest errancy in its use may give rise to the most tragic of disasters.
'''Lalai:''' Of the disappearance of black mages from Eorzea, Master says only, "We must not repeat the errors of the past."
'''Lalai:''' [Player], Master has made known to me what it is you must next do. Listen to his words now, with all your being...
'''Lalai:''' ...
'''Lalai:''' "The land has drunk deep of the blood you spilled, and by this act, three souls of three races to Thanalan have come.
'''Lalai:''' "The fires of our Order once burned black and full. Yet long ago they were left to wane and very nearly die. These three souls are the keepers of the embers that remain——of all that we now are.
'''Lalai:''' "In the hands of one who will usher our return, the Gem of Shatotto, testimony of our creed, will shine with new light. And by that light, the three keepers will be made your allies.
'''Lalai:''' "An Amalj'aa by the name of Kazagg Chah awaits at Burgundy Falls in the east of Thanalan. Go to him."
'''Lalai:''' ...That is all. Dwell not on the fact that the Amalj'aa are the sworn enemies of Ul'dah. It is not your place to question Master's will——for it is the will of Nald'thal Himself.
'''Lalai:''' Go forth, black mage, and see the voidgate sealed.
===Speaking to Kazagg Chah - cutscene===
'''Kazagg Chah:''' Well come, [Player race], chosen of Ququruka and bearer of the Gem of Shatotto.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' By the gem's power do our paths cross once more. At last the time spoken of in the prophecy has come, and yet I know nothing of he/she who would guide us. Come, tell me your name.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' [Full Name]. I am Kazagg Chah, a sorcerer of the Amalj'aa, as were my forebears. I am the fourth of my line to walk this path, which brings me now to this land.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' As you well know, my kind bear the scorn of the Ul'dahns. It is for that reason that I must remain here, far from the city walls.
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Great power, this one has. But enough, is it? Squaaawk!
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' Kazagg Chah is terrifying to behold. Yes, yes, but he is both wise and kind——good, warm, kind.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' These are my brethren in the black, [Player], and now they are yours, as well. Before you stand the Ixal, Dozol Meloc, and the 269th Order mendicant of the kobolds, Da Za.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' You have fed the aetherial currents with the blood of fiends. That the Gem of Shatotto radiates as it does in your presence is proof of your deeds, and a sign of what must yet be done. It falls to me to bear witness to your awakening, and to pass on to you the knowledge entrusted to me.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' Know that you must face death before your purpose can be fulfilled.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' It is to the Silent King in western Thanalan that you must next journey. There, too, lies a planar fissure, and there, too, must you slake the land's thirst with the blood of the fiends which surge forth from it.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' Fear not, each of us shall journey to the Silent King, and there convene once more. Seek out first the Ixal Dozol Meloc, for your path is destined to first cross with his.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' When the deed before you is done, the Gem of Shatotto shall shine with new brilliance.
===Speaking to Dozol Meloc===
'''Dozol Meloc:''' To close planar fissure, strong black magic you need. You close, then come to Dozol Meloc once more. Squaaawk!
===Reporting back to Dozol Meloc===
'''Dozol Meloc:''' Squaaawk! Kazagg Chah spoke true! Black is strong in [Player]. You go now. Go see Da Za.
===Speaking to 269th Order Mendicant Da Za===
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' Here lies the planar fissure——rift, tear, fissure. Use the power within you to seal it.
===Reporting back to 269th Order Mendicant Da Za===
'''269th Order Mendicant Da Za:''' It is as Kazagg Chah foretold. You are chosen, [Player]. You must return to him now. Yes, yes, return and tell Kazagg Chah the deed is done――ended, over, done.
===Speaking to Kazagg Chah===
'''Kazagg Chah:''' You have done well, [Player]——as I knew you would. Come, it is time now to return to Burgundy Falls.
===Reporting back to Kazagg Chah===
'''Kazagg Chah:''' [Full Name] of the black, you return to me victorious.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' The Gem of Shatotto burns bright. You are indeed the heir to a dark and ancient power, as Ququruka foretold. I am reminded of a prophecy my great-grandfather uttered long ago:
'''Kazagg Chah:''' "When four magi meet in a barren land, Black powers of eld woven by their hand, Shall see the fate of wickedness made stark, And the path to light shall be lit by dark."
'''Kazagg Chah:''' The ''black powers of eld'' require no explanation. And know that ''wickedness'' refers to the evil birthed by the void.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' That the seal holding the voidgate shut will falter and fail is beyond doubt. Yet your deeds speak of determination and ability, and in them I spy hope. I have learned all of you that I must.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' I bestow upon you the knowledge kept by my line. Here and now, I speak an oath to discard old grudges. By our power combined, the voidgate will be sealed anew.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' You have brought this old Amalj'aa much happiness. Few believed the words of my great-grandfather. He was mocked and ridiculed, and worse, ignored. Yet your coming has fulfilled the prophecy he spoke.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' [Player], the dark magic coursing through you shares a deep bond with the voidgate. Should that portal be cast open, you will come to great peril.
'''Kazagg Chah:''' Temper yourself, in both mind and body. When you are ready, return to this land and seek me out once more. Then, and only then, will I speak to you of your next task.

*Serendipity is delighted by the tidings. She believes that the merchant was swayed by your gift for goldsmithing, and tells you to work hard in preparation for when Roroton requests your services once more.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Serendipity:''' [Player]! Something awful has happened!
'''Serendipity:''' It's Gigi. Instead of behaving better, he's acting even worse!
'''Serendipity:''' A traveling merchant was here not a bell ago to discuss a potential contract with us. In the midst of negotiations, Gigi commented on the man's jewelry, claiming "such tawdry baubles are beneath even a Lominsan whore." Unsurprisingly, the man became quite upset and stormed off.
'''Serendipity:''' Our members understand that Gigi can be a harsh critic, but this foreign gentleman Roroton was visiting us for the first time.
'''Serendipity:''' Aye, if it were a guild member, we might have overlooked the incident, but he was a potential business partner! Gods, this is a disaster for the guild.
'''Serendipity:''' We must make it up to him. Can you help me, [Player]?
'''Serendipity:''' Before Gigi offended him, we were discussing a bulk order of malachite earrings. By way of an apology, I'd like to gift Roroton a pair of these——the finest we can craft. If the gods are good, he will forgive us for the incident.
'''Serendipity:''' You're one of our best, so I'd like you to craft the earrings. When they are ready, please present them to me for inspection.
===Delivering item to Serendipity===
'''Serendipity:''' Are the earrings ready yet?
'''Cutscene'''
'''Serendipity:''' Such rich, vibrant greens... Even I couldn't have done a better job of cutting the stones.
'''Serendipity:''' Despite being relatively commonplace, malachite is quite sought after, owing to its supposed power to ward off evil. Pieces bearing swirls that resemble an eye are especially popular.
'''Serendipity:''' Superstitions notwithstanding, it does indeed have some mild thaumaturgical properties.
'''Serendipity:''' I must say, I think you've really outdone yourself, [Player]. I pray that Roroton will feel the same.
'''Serendipity:''' Much as I would like to apologize in person, I'm not sure he would be willing to hear me out, so I would like you to deliver the earrings.
'''Serendipity:''' Before he left, Roroton mentioned that he had other business to conduct at the Ruby Road Exchange. Chances are you'll find him there.
===Delivering item to Roroton===
'''Roroton:''' Oh gods, not a guild goldsmith. Let me make myself clear——I just wanted to discuss a potential partnership. I do not know what I have done to offend your guildmaster and her...assistant, but I understand that I am no longer welcome. Now please, leave me in peace.
'''Roroton:''' Really now, I don't want to hear it. Just leave me——
'''Roroton:''' By the Twelve, I've never seen such fine craftsmanship!
'''Roroton:''' ...From Mistress Serendipity? I'm speechless. I never imagined the guildmaster would go so far as to personally craft——
'''Roroton:''' Wait, ''you'' are the one who crafted these? Not the fair guildmaster?
'''Roroton:''' The gods do indeed work in mysterious ways!
'''Roroton:''' I don't believe I have properly introduced myself. I am Roroton, a traveling enterpreneur. I go wherever opportunity beckons, buying for a gil and selling for two.
'''Roroton:''' Long I have wandered the realm in search of fine accessories, as well as the talented goldsmiths who craft them.
'''Roroton:''' And ''you'' are precisely the sort of artisan I endeavor to meet!
'''Roroton:''' I would be honored if you allowed me to purchase more of your fine merchandise. Permit me to sell your wares, and we will both we wealthy in no time.
'''Roroton:''' Ah, but forgive my impetuousness. You are a guild goldsmith, and I must go through the proper channels. Very well! I will meet with Mistress Serendipity once more.
'''Roroton:''' Please give my card to your guildmaster, and inform her that I shall contact her again soon to resume contract negotiations.
===Reporting back to Serendipity===
'''Serendipity:''' Welcome back, [Player]! While you were gone, I performed some basic maintenance on Gigi. I'm not sure if I fixed the problem——or if there was even a problem to begin with, but——
'''Serendipity:''' Oh, but what about Roroton? Did you find him?
'''Serendipity:''' This is wonderful news, [Player]!
'''Serendipity:''' Not only has he forgiven us, he desires a business partnership even more than before!
'''Serendipity:''' I knew I was right to count on you, [Player]. There's something about your work that moves people, something that touches the soul.
'''Serendipity:''' It's a gift, and it can't be taught, much as I wish it could. No, you've always had it in you. And as you grow more skilled, you'll only become better at expressing it.
'''Serendipity:''' I'm certain that was part of Roroton's decision. Since we know he'll request your services when he next visits, you'd best work hard until the time comes!

*Deliver [[Effervescent Water|bottles of effervescent water]] to [[Adalberta]]. 0/15

==Journal==
*Adalberta needs you to take on the work of an indisposed guild member.

*One of your fellow miners has been taken ill, and Adalberta needs you to procure fifteen bottles of high-quality effervescent water in his stead. She recommends you head to Buscarron's Scar in Gridania's South Shroud to find a particularly pure source. Once you have the required number, deliver them to the guildmaster.

*Adalberta thanks you for your timely assistance. Owing to your efforts, the guild can now fulfill an urgent order from a major client. With the guildmaster's praise still ringing in your ears, you continue along your chosen path.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Adalberta:''' [Player]! You couldn't have come at a better time!
'''Adalberta:''' One of our members has been taken ill, you see, and I need someone to handle the work assigned to him.
'''Adalberta:''' Tell me, are you familiar with effervescent water? Alchemists use it to make a substance called natron.
'''Adalberta:''' And bakers use natron for leavening——that is, raising dough.
'''Adalberta:''' Without it, there'd be no ginger cookies, crumpets, blood currant tarts...
'''Adalberta:''' ...Ahem. As you may have gathered, I'm fond of the odd sweet or three.
'''Adalberta:''' 'Course, effervescent water's good for more than just baking. A lot of miners ask for a drop of it in their drinks——makes the stronger stuff that bit more refreshing, see.
'''Adalberta:''' And let me tell you, there's nothing better to wash away the dust of a hard day's mining.
'''Adalberta:''' But you didn't come here to hear my thoughts on food and drink, you came here to learn about mining. And so you shall——by procuring some effervescent water for me.
'''Adalberta:''' The Alchemists' Guild needs fifteen bottles of the stuff, and ''urgently''——they couldn't stress that enough.
'''Adalberta:''' From what I can make out, they themselves are scrambling to fulfill an urgent order for natron from the Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa. It's one of Eorzea's finest restaurants, in case you didn't know.
'''Adalberta:''' Anyway, you'd best get going. You'll need to work fast to make up for all the time I wasted chattering about sweets and grog. Oh, and you'll have the best luck mining around Buscarron's Scar, over in the Black Shroud.
===Delivering items to Adalberta===
'''Adalberta:''' Fifteen bottles of effervescent water, quick as you can. And remember, you're like to find it in Buscarron's Scar, over in Gridania's South Shroud.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Adalberta:''' Right in the nick of time! My thanks, [Player]!
'''Adalberta:''' I'll see to it that these are sent over immediately. Ah, but before I do, I should probably expand a bit on what we were talking about earlier...
'''Adalberta:''' Specifically, the part about mixing spirits with effervescent water... See, I wasn't lying when I told you a lot of folk find the combination refreshing. It ''is'' refreshing. In fact, adding a bit of bubbly water makes the stuff go down so easily, you have to be careful not to drink yourself under the table.
'''Adalberta:''' I say this partly for your own good...and partly because the lad whose task you just took care of ''wasn't'' careful.
'''Adalberta:''' Daft sod threw up right where you're standing. Oh, but it didn't end there...
'''Adalberta:''' He then slipped in his own puke and split his head open on the bar on his way down. Suffice it to say, he won't be working for a while.
'''Adalberta:''' Thankfully, you took up the slack, and all is well with the guild once more. I could do with a few more like you, [Player]. Keep up the good work, you hear?

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Perhaps I might persuade you to continue your work as the Saint of Nymeia?
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Splendid! Gridania will be ever the merrier for it.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Donors from across the realm have sent us a wide array of delights this year, so I would have you distribute them to younglings who pass by the amphitheatre.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' While I won't ''insist'' on the costume, you should know that you look very well in it. I shall leave the decision to you.
===Waiting at destination===
'''System:''' You see a child approaching the amphitheatre. Reaching into your bag of gifts, you select...
'''Which present will you choose?'''
* A deluxe Bismarck poundcake.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Merlwyb:''' Well, this is rather unexpected. I have but just finished attending to state business and thought to observe these celebrations ere I return to Limsa Lominsa.
'''Merlwyb:''' I understand the Bismarck donated baked sweets to be distributed as gifts.
'''Merlwyb:''' Though I have little familiarity with the Starlight Celebration myself, one does not soon forget the joy of receiving such festival delights as a child.
'''Merlwyb:''' I pray that the Bismarck's contribution provides Eorzea's young ones with many a fond memory.
* A pair of warm Fen-Yll boots.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Kan-E-Senna:''' Thank you for dedicating time to play saint for the younglings. Seeing the city awash with their bright smiles is but one virtue of this fine festival.
'''Kan-E-Senna:''' Were those not Fen-Yll boots you gifted just now? The atelier is known for its sturdy shoes, so I imagine that child will be afforded endless hours of play.
'''Kan-E-Senna:''' I used to run through these woods as a youth, and I can assure you that feet are the first to feel winter's bite. How reassuring to know that our children will spend the coldest season in warmth and comfort.
* A Sunsilk Tapestries winter coat.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Momodi:''' So ''you're'' the Saint of Nymeia I've been hearin' so much about! I snagged an invitation from the Adventurers' Guild, hopin' for some seasonal refreshment, and between all the smilin' youngsters and twinklin' lights, I haven't been disappointed!
'''Momodi:''' That garment you just handed off was Weavers' Guild craftsmanship, wasn't it? I'd recognize that style anywhere.
'''Momodi:''' A certain fancy guildmaster's goin' to hear how well that poppet liked his present just as soon as I get back to Ul'dah. If he doesn't melt to rose oil on the spot, I'll eat my proverbial hat!
* A mammet produced by the Skysteel Manufactory.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Honoroit:''' Ah, Master/Mistress [Surname]! What an honor it is to have witnessed such a heartwarming and philanthropic exchange.
'''Honoroit:''' You gifted that child a Skysteel Manufactory mammet, did you not? I find it fascinating that toys created via modern technologies should be coveted for so traditional a festival as the Starlight Celebration.
'''Honoroit:''' In truth, I am conducting research into how such Ishgardian festivals are perceived and promoted in neighboring nations.
'''Honoroit:''' When I penned ''The White Yonder'', I developed a particular curiosity regarding the effect of interpersonal exchanges on the transmission of cultural practices, you see.
'''Honoroit:''' Lord Emmanellain generously granted me leave to embark on this journey of inquiry, and I hope to compile what insights I gain here into another volume. ...Ahem. A happy Starlight to you, my [?]/lady.
* A pair of mittens knitted with Azim Steppe wool.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Magnai:''' ...What? Is my presence here so peculiar?
'''Magnai:''' I have it on the authority of foreign traders that this Eorzean ritual is not simply a sacred distribution of gifts to children——it is an ideal setting in which to find my Nhaama.
'''Magnai:''' Hmph. Your denial is futile. Hidden somewhere in this wood is my gentle maiden of dusk, my ethereal dancer in the morning mist. I am certain of it.
'''Magnai:''' ...Yet all those I have yet observed appear to be mewling children, chattering kin, or shamelessly courting couples.
'''Magnai:''' Had I been aware of such a complication, I would have sought divine guidance before coming here. Then again, delaying my journey might have precluded attending this auspicious ceremony...
'''Magnai:''' ...Nay, I am born of the mighty Sun and naught can elude my gaze. Let legend remember that Magnai of the Oronir sought his Nhaama alone and discovered her wreathed in the light of Gridania's stars!
* A Sharlayan ring of wisdom.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Ameliance:''' Why, [Player]! What a lovely surprise.
'''Fourchenault:''' Before you ask, I am not here on official business. My wife wished to see the festivities, so I have accompanied her. That is all.
'''Ameliance:''' So much for Starlight cheer! You know once, when the twins were little, Fourchenault gave them puzzles complicated enough to stump half the Studium——and that was genuinely his best effort at gift-giving!
'''Ameliance:''' But lo and behold: Alphinaud solved his without batting an eye, and Alisaie couldn't even be bothered to open the box. ''My'' gift was seeing this man dumbfounded by his two talented and drastically different children.
'''Fourchenault:''' Yes, well. The very notion that the Saint of Nymeia might visit our Sharlayan household was flawed from the outset. Regardless, such charades are behind us now; our children no longer lie awake hoping for Starlight presents.
'''Ameliance:''' Perhaps. But ''I'' certainly wouldn't refuse a gift, were it offered.
'''Fourchenault:''' ...It appears I have business at Fen-Yll Fineries after all. If you'll excuse me.
'''Ameliance:''' That's right——I must send Mila a little something as well. Did you know she's begun work at the High Crucible? Oh, I am so proud of her!
===Reporting back to Amh Garanjy===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Thank you for your assistance. I trust the younglings enjoyed their presents?
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Should you have further time to spare for saintly duties, do not hesitate to return. May you have a very happy Starlight, adventurer!

===Accepting the quest===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Without further ado, let us transform you into the Saint of Nymeia! I have no doubt you will look every bit the part in the costume I gave you.
===Speaking to Amh Garanjy again===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Incredible! I feel as though I am addressing the very captain of legend.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Now then, pray return to the Greatloam Growery and collect Tenny's presents. The happiness of precious younglings is in your hands!
===Speaking to Tenny===
'''Tenny:''' The presents are ready! I thought it might take longer, but the Saint of Nymeia showed us how to weave them up in no time.
'''Tenny:''' We made three bracelets——one for each of my friends.
'''Tenny:''' You said you'd take them to Ul'dah for me, right? My friend Momolao always hangs around outside the Quicksand, so you should start there.
'''Tenny:''' If the others aren't with him, he'll tell you where to go. I don't know how to properly thank you for this, but...thank you, mister/miss!
===Delivering item to Momolao===
'''Momolao:''' Yeah, I'm Momolao. What've you got for me?
'''Momolao:''' From Tenny!? Oh Tenny, you...you big dummy!
'''Momolao:''' We've all been a mess since he left. It's just not the same without him.
'''Momolao:''' But now I know that some things will never change, no matter how far apart we are!
'''Momolao:''' He's still the same old Tenny. Still celebrating Starlight with us, hehe.
'''Momolao:''' He sent gifts for ''all'' of us!? Oh, someone's going to cry. I can feel it.
'''Momolao:''' Let's see——Larkin said he'd be in the Gold Court, and Othuel had to do something near Milvaneth Sacrarium. Thanks, mister/miss. Tell Tenny "Happy Starlight" for us.
===Delivering presents===
'''Delivering item to Larkin'''
'''Larkin:''' Hello, mister/miss! I've been very good this year. You can ask my friends!
'''Larkin:''' ...H-Handmade? From Tenny?
'''Larkin:''' <sniff> I-I'm not crying! I just got snow in my eye... <sob>
'''Larkin:''' ...Last year, we all stood right here and made a promise to celebrate Starlight together. And Tenny remembered! Even though he moved away!
'''Larkin:''' I thought that was the end for us, but friends always find a way, right? And Tenny will always be our friend! ...Tell him I said that, okay?
'''Delivering item to Othuel'''
'''Othuel:''' Er, how do you know my name!? ...Is that package for me?
'''Othuel:''' Tenny sent this? He ''made'' this!? Haha, I guess he didn't forget about his mates after all.
'''Othuel:''' It's funny; I just finished wrapping a gift for Tenny, too. A gift from all of us.
'''Othuel:''' We wanted something with our names on it, so we pooled our pocket money and got him a bracelet. Great minds think alike, eh?
'''Othuel:''' Anyway, if you're headed back to Gridania, could you take this to him? It'd mean a lot to us.
'''System:''' All of Tenny's gifts have been successfully distributed. Now to make your final delivery——one addressed to Tenny himself.
===Delivering item to Tenny===
'''Tenny:''' Did you find everyone? Did they like their presents!?
'''Tenny:''' This is...
'''Cutscene'''
'''Tenny:''' A bracelet? And look, they carved their names into it: "Momolao," "Larkin," "Orthuel"...and "Tenny"!
'''Saulinne:''' They must really miss you too. If this isn't proof of your friendship, I don't know what is!
'''Tenny:''' I never thought they'd send ''me'' something——and it's a bracelet, too! Great minds think alike, eh?
'''Saulinne:''' I'm so glad everything worked out! Now you can enjoy the Starlight Celebration without any more worries.
'''Tenny:''' Saulinne... Thank you for helping me.
'''Tenny:''' I really ''was'' happy when you invited me to play before. So I hope...I mean, would you be my friend?
'''Saulinne:''' Hehehe! You silly!
'''Saulinne:''' I'm ''already'' your friend!
===Reporting back to Amh Garanjy - cutscene===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' So not only were his handmade presents happily received, Tenny's friends sent him a thoughtful gift as well. None could ask for a better display of Starlight spirit.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' You have brightened many a young face today in your role as the Saint of Nymeia. It truly warms my heart!
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Still, I can't help but wonder if Tenny and his friends knew how fitting the gift of a woven bracelet is.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' In certain lands, such bracelets are customarily exchanged as a symbol of friendship, as it is said the intertwining strands represent lasting bonds.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' No doubt those younglings will enjoy each other's companionship for many a Starlight to come.
'''Saulinne:''' We came to say thank you! Thank you, Miss Garanjy! Thank you, mister/miss!
'''Tenny:''' I'm grateful that I was able to keep my promise to my friends...and make another one along the way!
'''Amh Garanjy:''' I am glad to hear it. After all, the Starlight Celebration is meant to be enjoyed with everyone we cherish, be they near or far. Now then——what say you both to receiving your gifts?
'''Amh Garanjy:''' I gave those two their presents earlier, but they seem to be in search of companions...
'''Saulinne:''' Let's invite them to play, Tenny!
'''Tenny:''' Yeah! We can all celebrate together!
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' A savior chosen to shield younglings from winter's wrath and provide them with every happiness this season can afford... Yet, not all gifts are within the saint's power to deliver.
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' The gift of friendship, for instance...
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Forsooth, I can only teach them to make pretty things and encourage from afar! May their Starlights be bright and their friendship everlasting. Ho ho ho!

==Journal==
*Raya-O-Senna would ask a favor of you.

*A-Ruhn-Senna, unconvinced by his sister's words, has run off to the Bramble Patch on his own to prove that your powers are not needed. Raya-O-Senna, fearing for her brother's safety, asks you to go look for him.

*Despite suffering injury in his foolhardy quest to placate the forest single-handedly, A-Ruhn-Senna remains as stubborn as ever. Placate the tree in his stead.

*By communing with an elemental before A-Ruhn-Senna's eyes, you have grudgingly won the trust of the proud young Padjal. Return to Camp Tranquil and speak with Raya-O-Senna.

*Raya-O-Senna informs you that her brother, despite his misgivings, has finally come to accept your participation in the Quieting. To commune with the great one, however, no ordinary powers will suffice. Continue to hone your skills, that you might join the two Seedseers in healing the forest.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' [Player]... I owe you an apology.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' When last we spoke, I promised that I would find a way to convince my brother to accept you, but I fear he intently refuses to heed my words.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Why, the more I try to reason with him, the more he shuts his ears to me. All pride and no common sense, that one--I can scarce believe we are kin!
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' So intent is he to prove that you are unneeded that he dashed out into the forest all alone, boasting that he would placate every last elemental and save the forest all by himself!
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Needless to say, such a task is far beyond his powers. There is a part of me that would like nothing more than to see the foolish boy learn his lesson, and yet...as his sister, I fear for him.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Would you go look after him, [Player]? Seedseer or no, he is in many ways still a child, and the forest grows ever more unsafe these days.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' I thought to go myself, but...if ''you'' were to save my brother from his own recklessness, perhaps he might finally see how fatuous he has been.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' When last I spoke with him, he announced his intentions to begin his efforts in the Bramble Patch——with any luck, you may still find him there. Now please go in haste, before some ill fate befalls him...
===Speaking to A-Ruhn-Senna===
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' Hmph! If it isn't my sister's favorite adventurer. Come to show me up, have you?
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' Well, you can march right back and tell Sister that I am doing just fine. I am only...ungh...''resting''.
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' <cough> Even if I ''were'' hurt and unable to placate this tree...what could a run-of-the-mill adventurer like you do about it?
===Placating tree - cutscene===
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' Hmph! Beginner's luck.
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' If you think healing a sapling or two is going to convince me that ''you'' are a worthy inheritor to the teachings of Master A-Towa...
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' A-Ruhn, you ''yourself'' do not believe those words!
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' Sister! What are you doing here!?
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Seeing to my pigheaded brother's safety——what do you ''think'' I am doing? For better or worse, it would appear you suffer only from bruises to your leg and your pride.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' A-Ruhn. For all your obstinacy, I know that deep down you are no fool.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' No, you are wise beyond your years. You realize as well as I the dire fate that will befall Gridania if we do not quell the great one's fury and restore peace to the wood.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' The adventurer is not Padjali——this is true. But what of it? Would you blindly trumpet tradition as the very forest turns against us and brings ruin to our home? We have a greater calling to answer——you know this!
'''A-Ruhn-Senna:''' I... I do, Sister.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Oh, my dear A-Ruhn... What are sisters for, if not to forgive their little brothers' fits of folly?
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Now, [Player], I believe the most important task of all still awaits us. Let us return to Camp Tranquil.
===Reporting back to Raya-O-Senna===
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' [Player], thank you. I knew it was only a matter of time before A-Ruhn came around to reason. And yet, his hesitance to accept you was not entirely unfounded.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' When we first met, I promised that one day I would share with you the tale of how white magic came to be regarded as a forbidden art. Well, I suppose this is as good a day as any for the telling.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' The tale begins some three millennia ago, in the Fifth Astral Era. It was the time of the Endless Frost, when a barren wasteland of snow and rime stretched as far as the eye could see.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Food was scarce, and warmth scarcer. The histories hold many a grim tale of those who died in their beds, starving and benumbed. So did our ancestors discover magic, born out of the most fundamental instinct——survival.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' In time, the winter thawed, and magic was no longer essential for survival. But once awakened to its conveniences, there was no returning to how things once were. Ere long, the people discovered all the myriad ways in which magic could be employed, and civilization flourished.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' But prosperity breeds contempt, and nations warred for power and riches. So did the people seek greater and greater power, to rain destruction down upon their enemies. So was born black magic, the most devastating form of sorcery the world had seen.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' At the same time, another form of magic emerged, brought forth by those who would keep this immense destructive power in check. That is white magic——our magic. Does this surprise you? Just as there can be no dawn without the night, the white and black are but two sides of the same coin.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' War raged on, and magic was used and abused with little concern for the consequences. And consequences there were——unchecked use of magic soon dried the flow of aether, threatening to bring blight to the land.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' The magic of healing? It made little difference. If used with no concern for the aether, our magic could prove as ruinous to the land as the most devastating black magic spell. And so it was that the practicing of white magic was forbidden...with one exception.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' ...The Padjal. Our kind were entrusted as sole shepherds of the now-forbidden art, to serve as healers and bringers of peace while ensuring that this great power would never again be misused.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Though he is still young, A-Ruhn feels this profound sense of responsibility as strongly as any of us, thus his hesitance to accept you. But having seen your abilities——and the sincerity of your intentions——you can rest assured his doubts have been dispelled.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' With the three of us united in place and purpose, and your skills ever growing, the day that we may perform the Quieting draws near. To our fortune, the great one has not yet been entirely consumed by fury, but our time remains short.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' To commune with the great one, and restore the Twelveswood to its former state of harmony, we must truly be one of heart, one of mind.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' It is to this end that A-Towa-Cant has guided you to us. Further you mastery of our art, [Player], and let us mend the wounds of the wood together.

*Quell the anger of a tree in Everschade.
*Report to Raya-O-Senna.

==Journal==
*Raya-O-Senna would teach you to commune with the elementals.

*The process of pacifying ireful trees involves communing with the elementals that dwell within, such that a state of harmony might be restored. As the next stage of your training as a white mage, Raya-O-Senna would have you pacify a small tree in the center of Everschade.

*You have attuned yourself with the elemental and soothed the tree's anger. Inform Raya-O-Senna of your success.

*According to Raya-O-Senna, the unrest that has come to the Twelveswood is a manifestation of the elementals' fury. Soothing their anger and restoring harmony to the forest is the duty of the white mage-- a duty she feels transcends race or nation. She would ask that you continue to hone your skills while she thinks of a way to persuade her brother, A-Ruhn-Senna.
**The next white mage quest will be available from Raya-O-Senna upon reaching level 40.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Ah, [Player]. Looking ever more the white mage, I see. And yet, I fear you are as ready to perform the Quieting as a chocobo chick is to carry a Wood Wailer clad in full plate.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' But take heart, for we all must begin somewhere. Today, I would teach you the art of communing with the elementals. This is, by any measure, the very foundation of our art, the means by which we preserve harmony between the forest and our people.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Not far from Sorrel Haven you shall find a tree——a mere sapling in the shadow of the Guardian Tree, but one that has likewise been consumed by anger and fear.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' I would ask you to placate this tree. The process is quite simple: stand before the tree and raise your hands. Commune with the elementals that reside within, and attune yourself to them, until your feelings are in absolute harmony.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Be forewarned, however: an angry elemental can be as stubborn as my dear brother. Do not be surprised if you find your honest plea rebuffed, and foul creatures sent to drive you from the forest.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' No matter what happens, you must remain calm. Dispatch the creatures, settle your heart, and speak to the tree once more. If your heart is true, your voice will reach the elemental ere long.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Remember this, [Player]: under no circumstances must you allow your anger and fear to overcome you. As practitioners of white magic——the magic of succor and solace——such emotions are anathema to our very existence.
===Reporting back to Raya-O-Senna===
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' A short while ago, I sensed a great anger abate. The forest is quieter, more welcoming now. It would seem you have passed your first test, [Player].
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' The trees are the elementals, the elementals are the trees——the lush verdure of the wood is inseparable from the spirits that dwell within it. But you do not need to hear this from me. Doubtless you felt it for yourself, when you healed that tree.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Above all else, the elementals prize harmony. When they sense a threat to harmony, they summon forth all the powers at their disposal to expulse it.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' For so long have we lived in peace with the elementals. Why, now, do they turn against us? I can offer no answers, only theories. But one thing is certain——we must quell the great one's fury, and do it soon, lest Gridania bear the full brunt of the forest's wrath.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' To soothe the forest's wounds, and restore harmony——that is our duty as mages of the white, and it is a responsibility that transcends race or nation.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' I sensed your success in soothing the ailing tree, and am more certain of this than ever. Sadly, many cannot see past established practice and tradition——my dear brother among them.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' One would hope for a bit more open-mindedness given his youth, but alas, his pride as a Padjal will not permit it.
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' For my part, I am not entirely unsympathetic to his concerns. And yet, the task before us is too great. We must bring him around to see reason...but how?
'''Raya-O-Senna:''' Forgive me, [Player]. I would be alone with my thoughts for a while. Worry not——I will find a way to deal with A-Ruhn.

==Journal==
*Guildmaster Geva has a special request for an experienced leatherworker.

*Displaying what could be misconstrued as guilt, Geva asks you to speak with a client whom she had forcibly removed from the guild prior to your arrival. Search Old Gridania for the poor fellow and obtain more information about his request.

*It would seem Camillain, the client, purchased an Angrbotha-brand toadskin jacket to commemorate his son's acceptance into the Wood Wailers─only to discover that the garment was far from functional. In desperation, the hapless fellow turned to the Leatherworkers' Guild and begged them to complete his commission before his son's enlistment ceremony. Sadly, however, he found the guildmaster less than eager to listen to his tale. Speak with Geva and see what she has to say.

*Moved by Camillain's story─and not at all by guilt─Geva bids you to create a high-quality toadskin jacket for the devoted father. Craft the item to the best of your ability and present it to Geva for inspection.

*Geva judges your toadskin jacket a fitting gift for the young Wailer-to-be. Deliver the jacket to Camillain.

*Camillain is overwhelmed by your gesture, praising your craftsmanship and declaring it the finest toadskin jacket he has ever seen. Return to Geva and inform her that the client is satisfied.

*While pleased with your success, Geva is frustrated to hear that Angrbotha is continuing to prey upon customers' ignorance. She confides that she hopes the allure of greater notoriety will encourage them to participate in the forthcoming Gridanian exhibition, where they may be exposed and shamed as frauds.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Geva:''' There you are, [Player]! Just the leatherworker I was looking for!
'''Geva:''' Well, one of several I would consider asking——but that's beside the point.
'''Geva:''' Anyway, I have a task for you.
'''Geva:''' Mere moments ago, we received an older gentleman who demanded that we give his commission priority. Needless to say, I refused him without hesitation and had him thrown out. In retrospect, however, I believe his forwardness may have owed more to desperation than mere impatience...
'''Geva:''' Could you, perhaps, speak with this client on my behalf? I am told he was last seen heading east, in the direction of the market stalls. Of course, he may have gone further than that, but being an energetic adventurer, I'm sure you'll find him eventually.
===Speaking to Camillain===
'''Camillain:''' You...you are a leatherworker? Thank you for coming to see me... I know that my behavior at the guild was inexcusable.
'''Camillain:''' Permit me to start from the beginning. I heard tell of a new brand of leather goods that was cheaper than Fen-Yll but just as well made. Not being a wealthy man, I saw no reason to spend the extra gil, and purchased some of this Angrbotha-branded leather armor for my boy...only to be disappointed.
'''Camillain:''' To an untrained eye it may seem fit for purpose, but I served as a Wood Wailer for many years and could tell at a glance that it was no match for Ixali weapons.
'''Camillain:''' Aye, they made it fast and cheap as advertised, but had I known the quality would be so bloody awful, I would have found the extra gil and gone to Fen-Yll Fineries in the first place.
'''Camillain:''' I know what I ask is unreasonable, but my boy is about to enlist in the Wailers, and I wanted to give him something that would last a lifetime——something that his son could wear when the time came. I swear, that Angrbotha stuff wouldn't keep him alive long enough to even ''have'' a son.
'''Camillain:''' Please, would you make me a toadskin jacket?
===Reporting back to Geva===
'''Geva:''' ...I see.
'''Geva:''' A gift from father to son, to be passed down through the ages. Only a well-crafted item could be expected to carry generations of memories and tradition.
'''Geva:''' ...A toadskin jacket, was it? Well, after hearing such a tale, who could possibly refuse? ...Why are you looking at me like that? It was a ''rhetorical question'', [Player]! I'm not a monster!
'''Geva:''' You heard his words, so you know what's at stake better than anyone. I bid you make a toadskin jacket of the highest possible quality and present it to me for inspection.
===Delivering item to Geva===
'''Geva:''' Remember what's at stake, [Player]. We need a quality toadskin jacket that can withstand generations of wear and tear.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Geva:''' Hmmm... I daresay this is your best work yet.
'''Geva:''' The spaulders and breast are made from the finest toadskin, and the goatskin back alone would provide solid protection.
'''Geva:''' It strikes the perfect balance between mobility and protection, and I can find no fault with it.
'''Geva:''' Aye, it's a fitting gift for a young Wailer-to-be.
'''Geva:''' I expect that Camillain will agree. Take it to him, [Player].
===Delivering item to Camillain===
'''Camillain:''' Why oh why did I have to think about the gil...? Everyone knows Fen-Yll goods are the best, and the best is no less than my son deserves. To think of him clad in that Angrbotha ''crap'' when he becomes a Wailer... <sigh>
'''Camillain:''' Praise the Matron, a toadskin jacket! I could not have hoped for such kindness!
'''Camillain:''' And this craftsmanship is beyond compare...
'''Camillain:''' In fact, I do not believe I have ever seen finer leather equipment in all my years. My son will be thrilled to receive it!
'''Camillain:''' A craftsman that had never known battle could not possibly have made a jacket like this. Tell me, sir/[?], are you...?
'''Camillain:''' But of course. Even Geva has seen fit to welcome capable adventurers like yourself into her guild.
'''Camillain:''' I hope you will continue to share your gift with the people of Gridania, and give others the opportunity to savor your work.
===Reporting back to Geva===
'''Geva:''' I take it from your grin that Camillain was satisfied? Glad to hear it.
'''Geva:''' Gods, I'm getting fed up with this Angrbotha nonsense. First that Ul'dahn merchant, and now this.
'''Geva:''' Honestly, I don't know what idiotic plan they have in mind, but it's only a matter of time before word spreads. Quickly, cheaply produced goods may entice customers, but quality goods keep them.
'''Geva:''' I wonder if they'll even consider participating in the exhibition... On the one hand, there is no better way to publicize your brand, while on the other, they must surely know that they're in no position to compete with real leatherworkers.
'''Geva:''' ...But I do hope they try, [Player]. I would love nothing more than to see those Angrbotha frauds get their comeuppance——to look on as artisans and merchants from every corner of Eorzea cast judgment on their works and proclaim them a disgrace!

==Journal==
*Timbermaster Beatin has a special commission for you.

*Word of your craftsmanship has spread, and a client has requested you by name. Prepare a walnut cane of the highest quality and present it to Beatin for inspection.

*Beatin decrees that the cane will satisfy your client. Look for him at the Adders' Nest and deliver the cane.

*The client, Gairhard, is having difficulty earning the trust of a conjurer newly assigned to his unit. In an effort to show her that some outsiders mean no harm, and wish only to help, he commissioned you to make the cane. He asks you to deliver it to Ponette at Stillglade Fane on his behalf.

*Ponette is deeply moved by the walnut cane. She apologizes for judging outsiders so harshly and acknowledges the contribution made by individuals like Captain Gairhard and yourself to Gridania's cause. Return to the Adders' Nest and inform the captain of the conjurer's change of heart.

*Captain Gairhard congratulates you on a job well done, noting that Beatin was right to favor you. Return to the timbermaster and inform him that the commission is complete.

*The timbermaster's pleasure at the news of your success is matched only by his surprise at the revelation that your client was in fact an old friend of his, back from a long campaign abroad. Though puzzled by Gairhard's failure to inform him of his return, Beatin is nonetheless relieved to hear that he is in good health. ※The next carpenter quest will be available from Beatin upon reaching level 35.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Beatin:''' It is good you have come, [Player]. Your talents are needed for a commission.
'''Beatin:''' The client asked for you by name, in fact.
'''Beatin:''' It would seem that the adventurer-turned-carpenter has earned himself/herself a reputation.
'''Beatin:''' You are to craft a walnut cane of unparalleled quality. When it is ready, bring it to me.
'''Beatin:''' I will not permit you to deliver anything less than perfection.
===Delivering item to Beatin===
'''Beatin:''' Have you made the cane, [Player]?
'''Cutscene'''
'''Beatin:''' ...
'''Beatin:''' You've done well, [Player].
'''Beatin:''' The gentle curve of the crook appears natural, as if it was destined to take such a shape.
'''Beatin:''' Indeed, your skillful application of growth formula has imbued this cane with new life, giving it the appearance of unworked wood.
'''Beatin:''' Wands and canes are perhaps the purest expression of the carpenter's creed, in that the finished product is a celebration of the wood's past life.
'''Beatin:''' Conjurers are, of course, highly attuned to the natural world. Hence it is no small coup to craft a cane that satisfies.
'''Beatin:''' But your cane should meet with the client's approval. You may go and deliver it to him at the Adders' Nest.
===Delivering item to Gairhard===
'''Gairhard:''' Yes, I am waiting for a carpenter from the guild. Why do you ask?
'''Gairhard:''' So this is Beatin's famed disciple... It pleases me that I can finally put a face to the name. I am Gairhard.
'''Gairhard:''' Though I myself have no talent for conjury, it is plain to see that this cane is exquisitely wrought.
'''Gairhard:''' Aye, the cane is not for me. It is meant for a conjurer recently assigned to my unit.
'''Gairhard:''' Her name is Ponette, a talented but stubborn soul who has thus far resisted my every attempt to integrate her into our ranks.
'''Gairhard:''' I have been here long enough to know that Gridanians can be rather protective of their city, and that this can manifest itself in a deep mistrust of outsiders.
'''Gairhard:''' However, I cannot simply order her to set aside her prejudices——I need her to trust me of her own volition.
'''Gairhard:''' It is my hope that by giving her this cane, she will at least accept my leadership.
'''Gairhard:''' You will find her in Stillglade Fane. Please give it to her on my behalf.
===Delivering item to Ponette===
'''Ponette:''' How long does the captain intend to keep me waiting? Does he have any idea how little time a conjurer has to spare?
'''Ponette:''' A ''gift''!? That Ala Mhigan kept me waiting this long for some trinket he did not even see fit to deliver himself? Typical. These foreigners truly don't have the first idea about——
'''Ponette:''' <gasp>
'''Ponette:''' Gods! It can't be... A walnut cane!?
'''Ponette:''' And one so finely wrought that I scarce believe it man-made.
'''Ponette:''' To conjurers, our canes are the physical representation of our connection with the living world. They provide a focus for us to channel the forces of nature and weave spells.
'''Ponette:''' To possess a cane made of walnut is a dream most conjurers share. And I am no different. I see the beauty of this cane, and the heart of the man/woman who made it.
'''Ponette:''' That an outsider could craft this flawless cane...
'''Ponette:''' I...
'''Ponette:''' Forgive my impropriety, adventurer. I have never paid outsiders any mind, imagining them incapable of comprehending Gridanian tradition.
'''Ponette:''' Yet it seems that it was I who failed to comprehend. You have humbled me, adventurer, and opened my eyes.
'''Ponette:''' It is clear that you have worked hard to learn our ways...as has Captain Gairhard. I cannot thank you both enough. Though I do not deserve this cane, I swear that I will do my utmost to earn it.
'''Ponette:''' My thanks again, adventurer. Should you meet with the captain before I do, please convey my gratitude.
===Reporting back to Gairhard===
'''Gairhard:''' I knew it would not be easy pleasing her, but I never doubted that Beatin's finest could deliver.
'''Gairhard:''' Heh, I wonder...how is he? Still working too hard, I presume?
'''Gairhard:''' So it goes. Anyway, duty calls. Thank you again, [Player]. Please give my regards to the timbermaster.
===Reporting back to Beatin===
'''Beatin:''' Welcome back, [Player]. Was the client satisfied?
'''Beatin:''' Interesting. So the client was not a conjurer himself...
'''Beatin:''' In any case, I am glad to hear that the intended recipient was satisfied.
'''Beatin:''' I must know, [Player]: who was this client? I only received their messenger, and I cannot fathom why they would not come in person.
'''Beatin:''' ...Gairhard!? You are certain?
'''Beatin:''' I thought him far from Gridania, on campaign. When did he return? And why would he not greet me in person?
'''Beatin:''' We have known each other for so many years... Well, I can only assume that his duties leave no time for such niceties. I am glad to hear he is home and well.
'''Beatin:''' Thank you for attending to his request, [Player]. I look forward to our next meeting.

'''Bearded Lady:''' Pardon me, are you an adventurer? Allow me to introduce myself, I am...er...
'''Bearded Lady:''' ...Perhaps I should remove my beard.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Much better! Starlight celebrant Amh Garanjy, at your service. I am ever so pleased to meet you during this most sacrosanct of seasons.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' In commemoration of the Ishgardian knights who once sheltered needy orphans from the cold, we strive to deliver joy and comfort to all younglings each Starlight Celebration.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' This year, we pay particular tribute to the figure at the heart of Starlight legend——the snowy-bearded captain dubbed the Saint of Nymeia. As you can see, we have commissioned replicas of his red coat and fluffy white beard.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' How better to delight the children than by distributing presents as the saint himself, after all!
'''Amh Garanjy:''' So far, we have been successful in spreading Starlight cheer. However...
'''Amh Garanjy:''' It seems there is a particular youngling who finds our felicitous festivities distressing.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Were I free to wander, I would reach out to them myself and provide what aid I could. Alas, my duties as celebrant require my attendance here.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Might you assist this child in my stead? I am sure they would welcome the insights of an adventurer such as yourself.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' I am most grateful. Let me summon the young lady who first brought this matter to my attention.
'''Saulinne:''' Hello! My name is Saulinne. It's nice to meet you, mister/[?].
'''Saulinne:''' As I told Miss Garanjy, I've seen a boy around here who...
'''Saulinne:''' ...Oh! Look, there he is! Over there!
'''Saulinne:''' ...I guess he didn't come to play this time either.
'''Saulinne:''' That boy's been watching the stage from a distance ever since preparations began.
'''Saulinne:''' At first, I thought he must be excited about the Starlight Celebration, but he always looks so sad! That's why I thought I'd try inviting him to play...
'''Saulinne:''' But when I called out to him, he just ran away.
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Comforting others when they are troubled is a very kind thing to do. You did well to try, Saulinne.
'''Saulinne:''' I just think nobody should be alone during the Starlight Celebration!
'''Saulinne:''' He keeps coming back, so I'm sure there's something he's worried about. Maybe he's too shy to ask for a present...?
'''Saulinne:''' Either way, I'm worried about him. Would you help me make sure he's okay, mister/[?]?
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Then I'll leave this matter in your capable hands. I believe the boy ran off towards the Whistling Miller. Perhaps someone there knows more about him.
'''Saulinne:''' Let's ask around! Please tell me if you learn anything, and I'll be sure to do the same.
===Gathering information===
'''Speaking to the Cheerful Cherub'''
'''Cheerful Cherub:''' That boy who always comes to stare at the decorations? I know him! Er, I mean, I've seen him around before. I don't know his name. And I don't think I've ever seen him smile...
'''Speaking to the Playful Poppet'''
'''Playful Poppet:''' Oh, you must mean Tenny. I heard he moved here from Ul'dah recently.
'''Playful Poppet:''' Can't tell you much more than that. He makes a point of keeping to himself.
'''Speaking to the Watchful Wailer'''
'''Watchful Wailer:''' A boy? Yes, ran straight past me towards the Greatloam Growery.
===Reporting back to Saulinne===
'''Saulinne:''' Did you learn anything?
'''Saulinne:''' So his name is Tenny...
'''Saulinne:''' Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Greatloam Growery!
===Speaking to Tenny - cutscene===
'''Tenny:''' Wh-Who are you? Some kind of adventurer?
'''Saulinne:''' He/She is! And my name is Saulinne. You were at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre earlier, weren't you?
'''Saulinne:''' Would you like to go and join the Starlight Celebration with me? My friends will be there too, so we can all play together!
'''Tenny:''' Your friends...
'''Saulinne:''' They're really nice! ...Do you not want to?
'''Tenny:''' It's not that. It's...it's a long story.
'''Saulinne:''' I have time!
'''Tenny:''' ...We just moved here for my father's job. And I know there's no point in moping about it, but I really, ''really'' miss my three friends back in Ul'dah.
'''Tenny:''' During Starlight, we'd show each other what toys we got and eat too many sweets and find all the best decorations in the city.
'''Tenny:''' We'd have so much fun! And each time we'd promise to play together the next year. But now...
'''Saulinne:''' ...You're all the way in Gridania.
'''Tenny:''' I used to love the Starlight Celebration, but now all I can think about is leaving my friends behind and betraying our promise.
'''Saulinne:''' I'm sorry. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings by asking you to play...
'''Tenny:''' It's all right. You didn't know.
'''Saulinne:''' But Tenny, doesn't this mean you'll ''never'' be able to enjoy the Starlight Celebration without feeling guilty? There must be something we can do...
'''Saulinne:''' Mister/[?]! You're a grown-up——what do you think?
'''What will you suggest?'''
* Sounds like something that three tickets to Gridania could fix.
'''Tenny:''' I guess. But Ul'dah is so far away. That sort of journey is a lot to ask...
* Pack your bags, kid——I'm smuggling you back to Ul'dah.
'''Tenny:''' Wh-What!? There's no way my father would allow——wait, did you say ''smuggle''? ...Thanks for the offer, mister/[?], but I'll pass.
* Nothing screams "Friendship, kupo!" like moogle mail.
'''Tenny:''' Mail...
'''Tenny:''' That's it! I could send them presents!
'''Saulinne:''' That's a lovely idea! Everyone loves getting packages. And that way you'll be celebrating together——at a distance!
'''Tenny:''' What should I give them? Something you can only get in Gridania...?
'''???:''' Ho ho ho! The answer to that is simple.
'''Tenny:''' That snowy white beard——th-that's the real thing! You're the Saint of Nymeia, aren't you!?
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Quite! Young Tenny, you need look no further than your own two hands——for presents crafted ''from'' the heart are presents ''full'' of heart. I shall rigorously assist you in every step of their creation as both an artisanal saint and saintly artisan!
'''Tenny:''' ...I don't really understand, but thank you?
'''Saulinne:''' I'll help too! That way your presents will be crafted in half the time.
'''Tenny:''' Really? A-All right, then. Thanks.
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Master Adventurer! Might we rely upon you to deliver Tenny's gifts once they are prepared?
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Though we could post them by more conventional moogles, a child's hard work and dedication ought to be hand-delivered by only the most trusted individual.
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' And as you are both emotionally invested in Tenny's happiness and currently standing before me, I bequeath the task to you. You will do it, yes?
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Excellent. Then we shall realize these creations ere the Spinner sloshes Her nog. In the meantime, I would have you apprise Amh Garanjy of our efforts.
'''Saint of Nymeia:''' Once you have relayed your report, return here for the requisite packages. Chop-chop!
===Reporting back to Amh Garanjy===
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Welcome back! Were you able to speak with the boy?
'''Amh Garanjy:''' I see. To be separated from one's friends is heartbreaking indeed. I only wish I too could help in some way...
'''Amh Garanjy:''' ...Oh! I know just the thing——I shall transform you into a saint!
'''Amh Garanjy:''' I have a Saint of Nymeia costume that I would be most happy to gift you. Tenny's friends will be delighted for a visit from the Spinner's anointed herald!
'''Amh Garanjy:''' Accept this with my warmest wishes, dear adventurer——I know you won't let us down!

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest - cutscene===
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' Are you ready, [Player]? Then let us begin.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' [Full Name]——you stand poised to enter a sacred trust.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' The Flames of Ul'dah burn bright, casting light where there is dark and purging evil wheresoever it lurks.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' We are ever ready to meet the nation's enemies in battle, be they beastmen, Garleans, or worse.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' And at a word from Flame General Raubahn Aldynn, we would gladly lay down our lives to maintain the peace and prosperity of Ul'dah.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' To join our ranks, you must forsake all other nations. Only then may you commit yourself to the fire and be reborn as an Immortal Flame.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' Burn as one of us, [Full Name], and together we shall chase the darkness from Ul'dah!
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' Will you swear an oath to mark this occasion?
'''What oath do you swear?'''
* My sword belongs to Ul'dah!
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' Spoken like a soldier! You'll do well here.
* What skills I have belong now to Ul'dah!
[?]
* I will follow the Flame General unto death!
[?]
* ...
[?]
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' Very well. Your resolve is plain. [Full Name]——I hereby confer upon you the rank of flame private third class. Welcome to the Immortal Flames, Private.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' May you fight to the last for coin and country.
'''Minfilia:''' Can you hear me, [Player]? This is Minfilia.
'''Minfilia:''' An officer of the Immortal Flames contacted me with news of your enlistment. My congratulations, Private [Surname].
'''Minfilia:''' I have no doubt that you are eager to make the acquaintance of your new comrades, but I would ask that you pay a visit to your old ones first. Remember: though you are now a Flame of Ul'dah, you are no less a Scion! Pray return to the Waking Sands at your earliest convenience. There are some friends here whom I would very much like you to meet. We shall be waiting!
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' It seems your presence is required elsewhere.
'''Flame Personnel Officer:''' But before you leave, perhaps you could find a moment to speak with Commander Swift. He is not one to see new recruits go into the field unprepared.
===Speaking to the Scion of the Seventh Dawn===
'''Scion of the Seventh Dawn:''' Welcome back, [Player]! Lady Minfilia awaits you within.
'''Cutscene'''
'''Minfilia:''' Welcome back! It seems you wasted no time putting your skills to work!
'''Minfilia:''' How do I know? Why, the recruitment officer called to regale me with the tale of your heroics. The pride in his voice was palpable!
'''Minfilia:''' We Scions are truly fortunate to have you with us, [Player].
'''Minfilia:''' Now, when last we spoke, I said that I wanted you to meet some friends, did I not? Well, I neglected to mention that you have already met.
'''Minfilia:''' Tataru——please show them in.
'''Tataru:''' This way, sirs!
'''Biggs:''' Thanks again for getting us out of that mess. We owe you our lives.
'''Biggs:''' But I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves. I'm Biggs.
'''Wedge:''' A-And I'm...I'm...
'''Biggs:''' Gods, man, spit it out, will you!?
'''Wedge:''' W-Wedge, at your service!
'''Minfilia:''' I am pleased to say that Biggs and Wedge will be staying with us for a while.
'''Minfilia:''' Magitek-driven contraptions such as airships grow ever more vital to the city-states of Eorzea. As a neutral party, it was judged that we Scions should serve as the keepers of this technology.
'''Minfilia:''' Of course, for this we needed the knowledge of experts. And so we requested the assistance of Garlond Ironworks, who very kindly sent us two of their finest engineers.
'''Minfilia:''' Our happy family continues to grow. On behalf of the Scions, I bid you welcome to the Waking Sands!
'''Minfilia:''' Like every soul here, I love Eorzea.
'''Minfilia:''' And I count myself blessed to have been given this chance to stand with you all and fight for the future of the realm.
'''Minfilia:''' Never have I known such fulfillment——such happiness.
