She Walks in Beauty[]
Journal[]
- Elecotte of the Goldsmiths' Guild has opened your eyes to the importance of jewelry and fine accessories in Ul'dahn culture. The guild is eager to have you try your hand at the trade to see if you may prove of some worth to Eshtaime's Lapidaries. Begin your training by speaking to Colbernoux.
- Colbernoux has asked you to request crafting materials from a Miqo'te miner by the name of Z'ssapa. Seek her out near the entrance to the Nanawa Mines, and be sure to mention Colbernoux's name to lower the price as much as possible.
- After hearing Colbernoux's name, Z'ssapa presented you with a bag of Amajina silver nuggets. Perhaps the clout and favor of the goldsmiths he spoke of was no exaggeration... Return to Eshtaime's Lapidaries with the bag of Amajina silver nuggets and speak to Colbernoux.
- Colbernoux has taught you of the goldsmithing tradition of designing and naming fine pieces of jewelry after the most beautiful and influential ladies in Ul'dah's illustrious history. As part of your training, use the bag of Amajina silver nuggets given to you by Z'ssapa to create a brooch in her image. Ask some of the other goldsmiths how to best find your muse.
- After spending time observing miners in their element, you are able to come up with an ideal miner sketch. Using it to guide your hand, attempt to craft Z'ssapa's brooch.
- You have successfully crafted Z'ssapa's brooch. Visit Eshtaime's Lapidaries and show your creation to Colbernoux.
- Colbernoux is pleased with the brooch you have crafted. As he assures you he will see it delivered to Z'ssapa, the Songstress of Ul'dah, F'lhaminn, enters the shop, appearing quite concerned. Use the Echo on F'lhaminn to discover what could be troubling her.
- Using the power of the Echo, you learn that F'lhaminn and Colbernoux share an emotional and complicated past... But for now, just see Elecotte about your reward.
F'lhaminn's Flower[]
Journal[]
- Elecotte has told you about the famous brooch known as F'lhaminn's Flower, an immensely popular trinket created by Colbernoux, which the guild is seeking to reproduce and sell in limited numbers. A required component for its crafting, however, is fresh flowers, which can only be obtained in the Black Shroud. Visit the botanists at Gridania's Greatloam Growery and procure ten pearl clover blossoms.
- Opyltyl of the Greatloam Growery bluntly informs you that the botanists no longer have any desire to deal with Eshtaime's Lapidaries, and the conjurer Rychyld has admonished the goldsmiths' practice of imprisoning elementals behind the glass and metal of their wares. You have also learned that Colbernoux himself is now in Gridania as well, though not as clandestinely as he would hope... Seek him out at the Roost.
- After finding Colbernoux at the Roost, he confesses he has come to Gridania seeking a single blossom to craft one last F'lhaminn's Flower. He has requested your aid, and asked that you use a piece of violet augite to coax a spriggan into showing you where the blossoms grow. Prepare yourself for whatever perils you may encounter in the wood, and set out for Camp Tranquil.
- You have left Camp Tranquil in search of the flower Colbernoux requires. But the way is fraught with dangerous beasts. Perhaps giving a piece of violet augite to the spriggan will invigorate and energize it... Colbernoux was kind enough to inform you that a piece of violet augite can be created by combining two handfuls of mismatched stones.
- You have finally reached the clearing where the flowers you are seeking grow. Surely nobody would notice if you picked just one...
- A moogle appears suddenly and chides you for having the audacity to pick one of the forest's flowers. Parley with the moogle and convince it to allow you a single blossom.
- Your parley with the moogle was a success. After showing it the broken F'lhaminn's Flower, it approves of the usage of the blossom and agrees to give you one. Take the blossom back to the Roost and speak to Colbernoux.
- You deliver the flower to Colbernoux, who asks you to travel back to Ul'dah to receive your reward. Return to Eshtaime's Lapidaries and speak to Elecotte.
- Failing to procure the ten blossoms requested by the guild, Elecotte informs you there is no reward to be had. But after hearing from Colbernoux that you are assisting him personally, it seems you will be compensated after all. Speak to Colbernoux again to see if there is anything else he would ask of you.
- Colbernoux has asked that you deliver the F'lhaminn's Flower he has repaired to F'lhaminn herself in his stead. Seek her out at Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern.
- Upon giving the repaired brooch to F'lhaminn, you see that she is overcome with memories of both Colbernoux and his elder brother, Niellefresne. Use the Echo to gaze into her past and learn precisely what happened.
- F'lhaminn's past memories reveal that Colbernoux created the F'lhaminn's Flower using a pattern originally designed by his late brother, Niellefresne. He sought to bring the brooch to the world as his brother intended, but has grown to regret doing so, having lost its true significance in the doing. Speak to Colbernoux and tell him that the brooch has been delivered.
Struck Through the Heart[]
Journal[]
- Elecotte informs you that an ornate blade known as Heartstrike was the recent target of an attempted theft. To protect the legendary dagger, Lord Lolorito, owner of the Eshtaime franchise, has ordered a number of replicas to be made. Head to the guild storehouses to gather the materials required to craft the false daggers.
- Parley with Sence, keeper of the guild storehouse, to obtain the permission you need to gather materials.
- You were able to convince Sence to grant you access to the storehouses. Speak to her once again, then obtain the materials you require for your synthesis and show them to her for approval.
- You have obtained all the materials you will need from the guild's storehouse. Use them to craft a false Heartstrike, and deliver the finished product to Elecotte.
- You deliver your Heartstrike replica to Elecotte, and soon after learn from Colbernoux of the misfortunes the blade visited upon him and his family. He has requested that you meet him at Erralig's Burial Chamber within Arrzaneth Ossuary.
- Colbernoux has shown you the magically preserved corpse of his elder brother, Niellefresne, buried within Arrzaneth Ossuary. He tells you that Niellefresne had taken the blade Heartstrike and brought it to Erralig's Burial Chamber, where he was attacked and murdered. Use the Echo to look into Colbernoux's past and discover more of the truth.
- The Echo has shown you a meeting between Colbernoux and a Roegadyn by the name of Greinfarr. The two are discussing the blade Heartstrike, and the Roegadyn seems to be adamant about stopping at no lengths to obtain it. Could he be the thief? Return to Eshtaime's Lapidaries.
