10TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_00J'bhen Tia's heart is not the only thing that is broken. ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
21TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_01In J'bhen Tia's absence, the stained glass that he had so painstakingly created has been accidentally shattered by a group of children who got a little too close to the exhibit. With the opening of the Rising festivities fast approaching, the only viable option is to piece together the artwork as best you can before the spectators arrive. ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
32TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_02With your gift for solving puzzles, the stained glass art is restored to more or less its original state. Once J'bhen Tia has glued the reassembled shards into the frame, his work will be ready to be put on display once more.
43TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_03J'bhen Tia is ecstatic that the exhibition is able to go ahead despite the catastrophe that had befallen his artwork. With the event due to start, he asks if you might persuade his childhood friend Astin to attend. Their relationship has been somewhat troubled of late, and J'Bhen feels that the invitation would be better received if delivered by a third party, namely, you.
54TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_04It soon becomes apparent that Astin was fully aware of the exhibition, but he had decided not to attend. Since he is an infamous moneylender, he was concerned that J'bhen Tia's reputation would suffer if their association became public knowledge. Nonetheless, he is prepared to consider the invitation, though it is still unclear whether he will actually make an appearance.
65TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_05The art exhibition and accompanying song courtesy of the wandering minstrel are met with resounding applause, and many in the crowd were deeply moved by the message of goodwill towards one's fellow man. Astin, who had made up his mind to attend after all, found the tale of the Sultana's Seven particularly relevant to his current situation. He chooses to give up the life of a moneylender in order to return to working as an art dealer, and he offers to find buyers for J'bhen Tia's stained glass. The young virtuoso is overjoyed that Astin has turned over a new leaf and offers you his heartfelt thanks in not only rescuing the exhibition, but also their friendship. He then mentions that the wandering minstrel is looking for you, though you will need to speak with him yourself to find out why.
76TEXT_FESANV602_03974_SEQ_06The wandering minstrel expresses his appreciation for your part in this year's Rising festival, and offers a song by way of reward. You are then swept away on the waves of a divine melody to another realm entirely, free from the bounds of time and space. You are met by the enigmatic Naoki Yoshida and his Lalafellin companions, who appear to have been expecting you. Though his words are somewhat cryptic, his sincerity is unmistakable. You are eventually returned to the present day, whereupon the minstrel welcomes you back from your waking dream. He performs one last song, while the fireworks above fill the night sky.

4948TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_100_000All right, enough panicking, it's time for decisive action!
5049TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_000While we were out distributing flyers, these children were a little overzealous when it came to admiring my artwork. It seems they were unaware of the “look but don't touch” rule that normally applies to these things, and...well, it fell on the floor and shattered.
5150TEXT_FESANV602_03974_Q1_100_000What will you say?
5251TEXT_FESANV602_03974_A1_100_000This calls for six of the best. No...their punishment must be more severe.
5352TEXT_FESANV602_03974_A2_100_000I suggest staging a play based on the same scene. I'll be Nanamo.
5453TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_001Not the first thought that crossed my mind, I must admit. The recital is due to begin any moment now, so the only viable option is to repair the smashed pane as best we can.
5554TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_002I think that with a little adhesive here and there, the spectators will hardly notice the cracks.
5655TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_003Unfortunately, I don't have any to hand at present. While I run off to fetch some bonding agent from the Alchemists' Guild, perhaps you could try piecing the broken glass back together? Don't worry, I'll show you how it's done.

6261TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_015Oh? Mayhap you have a more pressing engagement? In all honesty, I can't imagine anything more urgent than this, but I shall wait until you are able to lend a hand.
6362TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_020Yes, that's perfect! With a few dabs of adhesive, it'll be as good as new. Well, almost. It should certainly suffice for the time being, though!
6463TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_100_021All's well that ends well, yes? The children were beside themselves with worry, but now, they're as delighted as I am!
6564TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_021...Hm? Oh, just a moment of nostalgia. I know from firsthand experience that moment of horror that comes when breaking an expensive piece of glass.
6665TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_022A few years ago, I was helping Astin with one of his ventures as an art dealer. I was in desperate need of gil so he hired me to transport a few pieces. That was when I dropped a case containing some valuable stained glass, and...I'll never forget the awful sound it made.
6766TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_023But rather than curse me for my clumsiness or fret over the money it had cost him, his only concern was whether I'd cut myself on any of the shards.
6867TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_024So you see, that's why I don't blame the children for their little misadventure. I suppose I'm following Astin's example.
6968TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_025Hmm... Actually, there's one more favor I'd like to ask of you.
7069TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_026I think if Astin were to see my stained glass, it might remind him of the days when there were things more important to him than money.
7170TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_027Of course, I've tried various approaches in the past, and most of what I say to him goes in one ear and out the other. But if it were to come from someone else, such as your good self, he might be more inclined to listen. Would you mind having a word with him?
7271TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_028You're too kind! Perhaps you could start by handing him this flyer and going from there.
7372TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_029I expect he's in the Quicksand, where he carries out much of his business. His clients tend to be a bit more malleable when they're in their cups, it seems. Anyway, if you could rouse his interest in the festivities, we'll leave the rest to him.
7473TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_030I'm sad to say, Astin's behavior has become rather easy to predict of late. Since his every waking moment is devoted to making others' coin his own, it's not hard to guess where he'll be at any given moment. If he isn't in the tavern, he's most likely at the market.
7574TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_031I remember you. Bhen's assistant, yes? Or maybe he's yours... Either way, I appreciate you looking out for him. He needs all the help he can get.
7675TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_032
7776TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_033Though I must say, if you've something that requires my attention, I'd rather you kept it brief.
7877TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_034Yes, I know all about Bhen's exhibit, thank you. Keeping my ear to the ground as I do, there's little that goes on in Ul'dah that escapes my notice. So why did he send you to advertise it to me?
7978TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_035He wants to remind me of the good old days? I might've guessed it would be something as soppy as that. A lot's changed since then, but he's still the same daft sod he's always been.
8079TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_036Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, mind you. It's his sentimental side that allows him to create such...evocative works of art.
8180TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_037But I always felt that if he tried to make a living out of it, he'd lose the very essence of what makes his pieces so special in the first place. Rather than expressing himself, he'd have to pander to the tastes of wealthy but fickle clients to turn a profit.
8281TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_038That's why I wanted to earn enough for the both of us, so he'd be free to pursue his dreams. While he doesn't need me to pay for his bed and board anymore, I'm still around to help him if he falls on hard times.
8382TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_039And just to make it perfectly clear, it's not that I don't want to attend the exhibition. I decided not to go because if people were to think that Bhen is associated with a moneylender like me, it would ruin his good reputation.
8483TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_040But if he insists that I go, perhaps I can make an appearance without drawing too much attention. Tell him I'll think about it, would you?
8584TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_041Just so you know, “I'll think about it” does not mean the same as “yes.” I will give it due consideration, though.
8685TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_045So, what did he say?
8786TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_046Hmm... I'll just have to wait and see.
8887TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_047Whatever the outcome, I'm very grateful for all you've done. And I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear I've saved you the perfect spot from which to view the event!
8988TEXT_FESANV602_03974_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_048Citizens of Ul'dah! By my words be transported to the days before the Calamity, a time when all hope seemed lost. As the lesser moon hung low in the sky, a wave of terror washed over this fair city, turning neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother.
9089TEXT_FESANV602_03974_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_049There, in the midst of chaos, she stood defiantly. And so our tale begins. Hearken now to “The Sultana's Seven”...
9190TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_050Astonishing! I could see the events of that fateful day in my mind's eye as vividly as I see you now! Such a profoundly moving performance would surely have touched the hearts of everyone in attendance.
9291TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_051Astin! You came after all!
9392TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_052An artist you may be, but subtle you are not.
9493TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_100_052"Now is not the time to take from your neighbor, but to proffer him the hand of succor.“
9594TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_110_052A message to all of Ul'dah, I'm sure, but also one meant specifically for me. I have to admit, the sultana made a good point, and it still stands to this day. Maybe it's time I thought about earning an honest living...
9695TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_100_053I knew you'd come around sooner or later!
9796TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_053And Astin, I can take care of myself now, so you needn't go to such lengths to support me.
9897TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_054I'm glad to hear it, but let's get one thing straight: I didn't become a moneylender just to cover your expenses while you carved out a career as an artist.
9998TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_055I just didn't want you to compromise your ideals and the quality of your work for the sake of keeping a roof over your head. Now you can concentrate on doing what you do best: bringing joy to people through your art.
10099TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_056As for me, I should find a better use for my skills. Perhaps I could go back to being an art dealer. That way, you can create whatever works you please while I seek out potential buyers. It certainly beats making commissioned pieces for some pretentious buffoon.
101100TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_057You're suggesting we go into business together?
102101TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_058Yes, unless you have any objections to working with a very recently reformed moneylender?

106105TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_062Imagine the streets of Ul'dah lined with stained glass depicting its illustrious history. The sparkling jewel of the desert will shine brighter than ever!
107106TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_063This is more than I could've dreamed of. Of course, none of this would've been possible without your kindness, Player. You probably hear effusive words of praise quite often in your line of work, but I sincerely mean it: thank you for all you've done.
108107TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_064Oh, and there was one other thing I meant to tell you. The wandering minstrel was, ah...wondering if he could have a word with you.
109108TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_065In fact, he has a present of sorts to give you. He should be somewhere nearby. Best of luck finding him!
110109TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ANV07GOLDSMITH_000_066Having trouble tracking down the minstrel? Perhaps his wandering has already taken him to pastures new?
111110TEXT_FESANV602_03974_ASTIN_000_067Thanks to you and Bhen, I'm ready to turn over a new leaf. Once my debtors have given back what they owe, that is. And if they catch me while I'm still in a charitable mood, I might even be prepared to overlook the interest.
112111TEXT_FESANV602_03974_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_070Ah, you are come, as I knew you would. J'bhen Tia speaks very highly of not only your skill at piecing together broken glass, but of your loyalty and compassion. Your virtues are many and varied indeed.
