Mujih Mewrilah
|
Ah, I was hoping you'd come by! Basyle has another task for you!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Just so you know, I won't be accompanying you from now on. While you go about your gathering, I've a mind to do some gathering of my own─for information here in the Holy See!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Having said that, I will require a report from you afterwards, so be sure to remember all the juicy details. Now, off you go to Camp Cloudtop!

Basyle
|
My thanks for your help the other day, [Player Name]. I'm pleased to report that the cyclops onions are coming along nicely.
|
Basyle
|
This time, I need your help to maintain soil quality. As you know, soil gradually becomes barren with continued cultivation.
|
Basyle
|
In order to keep it fertile, we normally grow crops of the bean family at regular intervals.
|
Basyle
|
Alas, such beans as we have in Coerthas refuse to grow here. Unless we do something, I fear the soil will cease to yield crops altogether. Is there aught you can suggest?
|
|
Basyle
|
But of course! We've managed to grow gysahl greens from Gridanian seeds─perhaps this success can be repeated with beans.
|
|
Basyle
|
But of course! The Botanists' Guild has a veritable treasure trove of seeds from all regions. There's bound to be something among them that will grow in these parts.
|
|
Basyle
|
I'm sorry to trouble you, [Player Name], but could you please travel to Gridania and consult Fufucha? If anybody knows a strain of beans to suit our needs, it will be she.

|
|
Fufucha
|
Ah, if it isn't the toast of the guild! Aye, I have read all about your recent exploits in The Raven. You have been away only a short while, and already you have achieved so much! We all of us here are very proud of you!
|
Fufucha
|
...Oh? Embellished? Well, I suppose that is simply the way of Mujih's profession. And though her words may have been flowery, I choose to believe that they are firmly rooted in truth.
|
Fufucha
|
In any case, all seems to be well with you, and for that I am glad. Now then, was there something you wished to talk about?
|
Fufucha
|
Hmmm... Cover crops for revitalizing soil, and those that will grow in the Sea of Clouds besides... This is a difficult order to fill.
|
Fufucha
|
From my experience, I would say that Shroud vetch would be best suited. Even so, it is not entirely ideal.
|
Fufucha
|
Nay, it must be crossed with a highland strain to create what Basyle needs.
|
Fufucha
|
Now, rather than crossing strains haphazardly, I suggest you seek the counsel of a specialist─that is, an Ishgardian native versed in the local flora.
|
Fufucha
|
Show to him this bundle of Shroud vetch, and he should be able to provide you with the name of a suitable match.
|
Fufucha
|
As to where you might find such an individual, I daresay Mujih will be the best person to ask. It is her business to know people, after all.
|
Fufucha
|
I daresay Mujih will know of an Ishgardian specialist versed in the local flora. You would do well to speak with her.
|
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
...Fufucha suggested that you come to me? Ooh, she's a sharp one!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Indeed, it's my business to know people, and I happen to know just the person you're looking for!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Martineau is his name, and he's no less than the foremost herbalist in all of Ishgard! I'll arrange a meeting right away!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Actually, I wonder if it's appropriate to intervene in the doings of my subject... Ah, never mind the details─they're the bane of a good story!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
I'll have Martineau come and meet you in Saint Reymanaud's Cathedral. Off you go, [Player Name]!

|
|
Martineau
|
You are the botanist who wished to speak with me? Hm, you certainly appear capable, as your frenetic friend led me to believe.
|
Martineau
|
I always enjoy the chance to engage with fellow lovers of nature. And being a researcher, I welcome the insights of gatherers like your good self. But come, I am given to understand you seek advice on crossing strains of beans.
|
Martineau
|
I had always held the Botanists' Guild in the highest regard. Seeing such fine specimens serves to reaffirm that sentiment.
|
Martineau
|
As Mistress Fufucha has already concluded, the Shroud vetch will not prosper in the Sea of Clouds. It must needs be crossed with another strain to bring out its resilience.
|
Martineau
|
I would recommend emerald beans, a rare strain which grows in the Churning Mists. For your purposes, you will need perhaps ten handfuls of the finest specimens you can find.
|
Martineau
|
And with that, I trust you now know what is required. Should you have further questions, do not hesitate to seek me out again.

|
Basyle
|
Miss Mujih tells me you managed to get Master Martineau's advice, even though he's notoriously elusive. You truly are dedicated to our cause, my friend.
|
Basyle
|
Ah, so these are emerald beans! If I understand correctly, the plan is to cross these with Shroud vetch. Do you have the latter as well?
|
|
Basyle
|
Marvelous! My thanks, [Player Name]! I shall set about cross-pollinating them at once!
|
Basyle
|
The process will require considerable time and effort, but I'm confident that it will be worthwhile in the end.
|
Basyle
|
Ah, before I forget, Miss Mujih left a message for you. She bids you come and meet her at the aetheryte plaza in Ishgard.
|
Basyle
|
Miss Mujih awaits you at the aetheryte plaza in Ishgard.
|
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Welcome back, [Player Name], and good work! Not only did you help Basyle solve another problem, you served as a bridge connecting the people of Gridania and Ishgard!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
In case you're wondering, I've already sent off the draft for the second installment in my series. It's bound to be as successful as the first, and there's not a hint of fabrication in there! Embellishments? Certainly! But no fabrication!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
“Two Nations, One Seed”─that's the title I have in mind. Simple but powerful, even if I do say so myself!
|
Mujih Mewrilah
|
Of course, my story is secondary to all your hard work. Basyle's crops are coming along well, and it's in no small part due to your efforts. For his sake, please keep it up!
|
Quest complete.
