Journal

  • Havak Alvak, an editorialist for the Mythril Eye in Ul'dah, has word of an opportunity for an intrepid adventurer.
    • ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
  • The appearance of golems of unknown geological composition has spurred Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern into hiring a competent adventurer to assess the potential for profit. Meet with the company's representative outside Arrzaneth Ossuary to discuss the nature of your employment.
    • ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
  • According to the Amajina & Sons representative, the unusual golems can be found lumbering about in every corner of Eorzea. Obtain a chunk of one of the blocky constructs by participating in the FATE “Brick by Brick,” followed by the FATE “Brick by Stone Brick” or “Brick by Gold Brick” in one of the following locations: the Sil'dih Excavation Site in central Thanalan; the south of Blind Iron Mines in lower La Noscea; the east of Bronze Lake in upper La Noscea; Spirithold in the Central Shroud; or the south of Finders' Bluff in the North Shroud.
  • You have obtained a sample of one of the mysterious golems. Return to Arrzaneth Ossuary and deliver it to the waiting Amajina & Sons representative.
  • You have delivered a piece of one of the lumbering constructs to the Concern's representative. As promised, the ladies of Amajina & Sons treat you to a uniquely refreshing reward.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Havak Alvak: I am Havak Alvak, a self-styled student of sundry subjects. Though I am best known, perhaps, for putting pen to parchment for a popular paper, the Mythril Eye.
Havak Alvak: In these times of trials and tribulations, a subject of singular strangeness has ensnared my senses─magical monstrosities, more commonly known as “golems.”
Havak Alvak: But I speak now of no common creation of magecraft. No, these shambling servants of stone have no equivalent in all of Eorzea.
Havak Alvak: Should these curious constructions contain ores of extraordinary origin...well, I can only imagine the influence it might exert over Ul'dah's economy.
Havak Alvak: Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern has come to a congruent conclusion, and its superiors seek a savvy adventurer to separate the facts from the fantastic.
Havak Alvak: A representative of Amajina & Sons awaits outside Arrzaneth Ossuary. If exploring this enigma seems an entertaining endeavor, then I would wander over before this window of opportunity is wasted!
(Optional)
Havak Alvak: The city is verily vibrating with vivacity. Ever was Ul'dah a scene for stimulating the senses.

Speak with the beefy businessman

Beefy Businessman: Hey! Don't sneak up on me like that! Are ye tryin' to make me soil me breeches!?
Beefy Businessman: Hm? Yer here for the job, are ye? Well, I hope ye've experience dismantlin' golems.
Beefy Businessman: We've been gatherin' reports o' some never-afore-seen constructs what've begun showin' up all over the damn realm.
Beefy Businessman: Nary a soul knows what the creatures are made of, so Amajina & Sons means to be the first to take a pickaxe to this mystery mother lode!
Beefy Businessman: I need ye to get out there, take apart one o' them shamblin' piles o' bricks, an' bring me back a good size chunk o' the remainin' rubble. What do ye say, eh? Will ye give it a shot?
< Give it a shot? >
< Yes. >
< No. >
(Yes answer)
Beefy Businessman: Good lad/lass! I'll have a nice “refreshing” reward for ye when ye get back!
(Optional)
Beefy Businessman: Sometimes I wish I could strut me stuff alongside the lasses. But then I remember I'm a serious businessman.

Deliver the chunk of brickman to the beefy businessman

Beefy Businessman: Have ye taken a sample of one o' them odd golems?
< Handover the Brickman Chunk >
Beefy Businessman: Ooh, now ain't that special! That luster... That shine...
Beefy Businessman: Can ye smell it? 'Tis the scent o' profit, my friend!
Beefy Businessman: That's some fine work ye did, adventurer. Very fine, indeed.
Beefy Businessman: Now, just as I promised ye, I've prepared a payment yer sure to enjoy!

A bit o' pamperin' (Cutscene)

Beefy Businessman: Don't be shy now, lass. We all need a bit o' pamperin' from time to time!
Silky Associate: Ah, bonjour, my lovely.
Silky Associate: Can we interest you in ze...'ow can I say? Puff-puff?
Steamy Associate: Zis way! We show you a good time!
Slinky Associate: It will not 'urt, I promise!
< How do you respond? >
< <gulp>... >
< Puff-puff away! >
< ... >
Steamy Associate: Ah, oui, just relax!
Silky Associate: You will 'ave twice ze fun with ze eyes closed!
Slinky Associate: Brace yourself! 'Ere it comes!
Associates: Puff, puff!
Puff-puff! Puff-puff!
Associate: 'Ave you ever felt anything so warm and soft? Just relax and enjoy.
Associates: Puff, puff!
Puff-puff! Puff-puff!
Slinky Associate: Feels good, doesn't it? We sometimes indulge in a bit of ze puff-puff ourselves!
Beefy Businessman: Me thanks again for yer cooperation, lass. Here's a little somethin' extra what ain't so...fleetin'.
Beefy Businessman: Au revoir! Er, I mean... <cough> 'Twas good meetin' ye. Look forward to doin' business with ye again sometime!
Havak Alvak: Ah, the adventurer! You were triumphant in your tussle against the towering titans, I trust?
Havak Alvak: As it so happens, I have been hired by Amajina & Sons to craft an account of the aforementioned anomaly. I'd best begin before the focus on these fantastical foes falls out of fashion.
Havak Alvak: My remuneration is promised to be most “refreshing” and perhaps a touch “risqué.” I fear I haven't an inkling as to what is implied, but I shall look forward to it, nonetheless!
