Journal

  • Randwulf wishes you to reaffirm your desire to join the Blacksmiths' Guild.
  • You have been referred to Brithael, forgemaster of the Blacksmiths' Guild. Seek him out and pray that you meet with his approval.
  • Despite knowing next to nothing about you, Forgemaster Brithael has already marked you as a promising recruit. To begin your training as a blacksmith, equip the hammer the forgemaster gave you and speak to him again.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

So what'll it be? Reckon ye've got what it takes to train with the best godsdamned blacksmiths in the realm?
Accept
Decline
Gone soft on me, have ye? We need men with a will of iron, not boys who balk at the thought o' commitment.
Still...there's always work for the willin'. Should ye find yer spine, we might consider yer membership once more. Till then, bugger off.

This option will cancel the dialogue, and require you to speak to Randwulf again to progress the quest.

Hah, that's the spirit! If ye'd taken any longer to decide, I'd have told ye to bugger off no matter what ye said.
Can't have half-arsed adventurers wastin' Forgemaster Brithael's precious time, see. He's got a lot of irons in the fire. That's why me and the other lads make a point o' keepin' idlers, imbeciles, and the otherwise unqualified from gettin' in his way.
Anyroad, it's time ye went and paid yer respects to the man─he's the one over yonder makin' a face like he's carryin' the weight o' the world on his shoulders.

Speak with Forgemaster Brithael

'Bout time Randwulf sent me a new recruit! Ahhh, it's been too long... Ahem. I'm Brithael, forgemaster o' the Blacksmiths' Guild.
If yer aimin' to become a smitty worth the name, 'twould be my great pleasure to educate ye on the finer points o' the craft.
Oh, the rest o' these sour-faced bastards'll tell ye it's hard, gruelin' work fit only fer the best an' brightest, but I say put a hammer in the hands o' the willin' an' see what happens!
What d'ye say then, lad/lass? Will ye swing a hammer fer ol' Brithael?
Swing a hammer for ol' Brithael?
Yes
No
Say it ain't so, lad/lass! You an' me, we'd get on right as rain, we would! I beg ye reconsider...

This option will cancel the dialogue, and require you to speak to Brithael again to progress the quest.

Ha ha! I knew I liked ye the moment I set eyes on ye...er... What did ye say yer name was again?
Forename Surname! A name fit fer a hero if ever I heard one! In fact, I reckon I did hear it in a bard's song once! ...Or was it that poor sod cursin' in his cups at the Wench?
Bah! Don't matter if it was savin' the world or beddin' someone's mother/cuckoldin' yer husband─'tis time to forge yerself a new reputation, pound out a new legend! An' ye can trust ol' Brithael to help ye do it!
But there I go, puttin' the cart before the chocobo. Here, lad/lass─take this cross-pein hammer. A smitty without a hammer is like me without a drink─bloody useless!
Well, don't jus' stand there gawpin' at her. Take her in yer hands, have a few practice swings, whatever ye fancy! She's all yours now.
Ah, what I wouldn't give to be you right now, lad/lass. A smitty never forgets his first hammer... <sniff>
