Dialogue
Optional dialogue
I have not forgotten our obligations to Wuk Lamat, but it's moments like these─when we can immerse ourselves in the cultures of others─that fill me with anticipation for the new experiences this adventure will bring us.
We've made a good start on these challenges. Hopefully we can keep it up.
In a contest like this one, 'tis only a matter of time until the claimants are pitted against each other in direct competition.
Traveling with so large and diverse a group is...unfamiliar to me. If she could see me now...
Accepting the quest (Cutscene)
Start of cutscene.We've now won keystones from both the Feat of Reeds and the Feat of Gold. Surely that means our approach to the contest was the right one?
So it would seem. By continuing to retrace Gulool Ja Ja's journey as presented in the saga, we should find the remaining electors in turn.
Then let's visit the giants next! Like Krile said, the fact that they were searching for the golden city might mean they know something useful.
The home of the Yok Huy is in the upper reaches of Urqopacha. Unless you're keen on scaling the cliffs, we'll have to take the long way around─through Kozama'uka.
This route will take us close to the Moblin village...which is another important location in the saga.
Since we'll need all the keystones eventually, it makes sense to pay them a visit while we're passing through.
So we call on the Moblins first, then. Let's head there right now!
I'm afraid “right now” is going to be a problem...
The Flight of We Wingless, the great stairs leading to the Moblin settlement, collapsed in the storm.
What are we to do, then?
There is an alternative, but it requires preparation. Until it's ready, you could rest at the cabins or see more of the city. Whatever you prefer.
Just to be sure: you'll accept any method of travel as long as it gets us to our destination?
Of course. Who do you take me for?
...Hmm. Then as your guide, I will see to the arrangements.
Well, it seems we have some free time on our hands. Let us make the most of it.
I need to get my axe repaired. I nicked the blade pretty badly when I took a swing at Bakool Ja Ja.
That reminds me, I never got around to introducing you to Ropli, did I? He's the man in charge of Wachumeqimeqi, and a good person to know. Want to come along?
Let's go, then!
End of cutscene.
Speak with Wuk Lamat and have her accompany you.
Ready? The markets of Wachumeqimeqi are to the east, on the other side of Bayside Bevy.
Optional dialogue
Wachumeqimeqi is everything that Tuliyollal was built to be.
Conversation point: (X:15.2, Y:11.9)
Discuss Aunt Tii's Tacos.
This is Aunt Tii's Tacos, named for its owner here, the lovely Tiisol.
If you're after the best tacos in Tuliyollal, this place sits at the top with Xbalyav Ty'e.
You say that, Third Promise, but you only ever eat old Br'uk Evu's food! Come and buy mine for a change!
Sorry, Tiisol! It has been a while, hasn't it? I swear I'll stop for a bite once the contest is over.
Speak with Ropli while Wuk Lamat is accompanying you. (Cutscene)
Start of cutscene.My, my, the Third Promise. How might I assist you this fine morning/day/evening?
Well met, Ropli! I need to buff a nasty nick out of my axe blade.
Yes, it's been chipped quite terribly. Trying to cleave rocks again, were we?
Er, something like that. Think you can fix it?
You stand among Tural's most prestigious gathering of artisans and ask this question? 'Tis child's play. We'll have it repaired for you in two shakes of an alpaca's tail.
Good to hear! I leave it in your capable hands.
Who's your companion, if I may ask?
This is Forename, a great adventurer I recruited from across the salt!
I brought her/him here to meet you, actually. Thought she/he might have reason to visit Wachumeqimeqi sooner or later.
Then allow me to introduce myself. I am Ropli, humble representative of this grand center of trade. A pleasure to meet you, Forename.
You there! Stop dithering in the shadows and announce your business already!
Hrm, I've seen that man somewhere before...
A jewelry maker you met on the voyage over?
Oh, I remember─I spoke with him, too! Fonjean...taine? Yes, that was his name!
You've been loitering like a flighty admirer who can't pluck up the courage to confess his feelings. Out with it, then. Why are you here?
I, uh... That is to say...
<sigh> And we're no closer to solving that enigma.
Hrm, I wonder if he could use someone to talk to... I say we go and ask! Let me know by linkpearl if you find him first.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Our nervous man of mystery fled westwards...never to be seen again?
Search for Fonjeantaine. (Cutscene)
You were conversing with Master Ropli... But wait─we've met before, haven't we? On the ship...
Start of cutscene.You've found him? Good, I'll be right there!
Why did you run off like that? Did you have business with Ropli or not?
Please, you needn't concern yourselves with my affairs! I'm undeserving of such attention!
Huh? What are you going on about?
I beg of you, do not ask me to explain! Do not!
Sorry, but the more you tell me not to, the more curious I become. Besides, you look like you need a friend.
<sigh> You are too kind... So be it. I suppose I can share with you a morsel of my misery...
Before I came to Tuliyollal, I worked as a goldsmith at the most prestigious jewelry maker in all of Ul'dah─Eshtaime's Aesthetics. Oh, it started off well enough, but as the days passed, everything began to go wrong!
Compared to the masterpieces of my talented colleagues, my products were lacking. Mediocre! I lost all confidence. Crippling doubt had possessed me, and any veneer of bravado I tried to put forth soon cracked beneath its weight!
Thus did I take ship, hoping to find a fresh beginning on new shores. Yet as you witnessed, I lack the courage to even approach a potential employer. You stand before a man wallowing in the wreckage of his ill-spent existence!
Uh...alright, then. You offered a “morsel,” then served us the full course.
You must've really wanted someone to hear your story. If you like, I could try to give you a few words of advice.
Then...you have experience with my predicament? Of feeling terribly inadequate compared to your undeniably superior peers?
Well...when you put it that way, I, uh...
Ah...hahaha, not me! I'm Wuk Lamat, Third Promise of Tuliyollal!
Daughter of the Dawnservant...
O-Oh, of course, you're a member of the royal family! Please forgive my presumptuousness!
But what of you? Have you ever measured your work against that of your colleagues and found yourself wanting...?
What will you say?
You can't measure your worth by the success of others.
How can I not? Should my work not meet the same exacting standards, no new commissions will be forthcoming! What then was the point of my becoming a goldsmith...?
On occasion.
If even an ally handpicked by the Third Promise can feel such doubt, then what hope is there for me? I must question why I bothered to become a goldsmith in the first place...
Hmmm... Looking back, 'twas my father who inspired me to take up the trade. His exquisite creations brought radiant smiles to the faces of his clients, and I admired him deeply for it.
But in the course of striving to be as great a goldsmith as him, I lost sight of my original motivation...
All I ever wanted was to spread joy through my craft, as he did.
Perhaps...perhaps I will give this one last try. Thank you both for reminding me of what is truly important!
What is truly important...
End of cutscene.
Speak with Wuk Lamat.
...
Oh, sorry, Forename! I didn't mean to ignore you.
But, yes─I'm glad to see Fonjeantaine is giving himself another chance!
