4948TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_100_000In order to undertake this quest, you must first complete the main scenario quest “Under His Wing.”
5049TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_000As Professor Galveroche so eagerly pointed out, our Mervynbread cannot be considered a “perfect meal” until we load it with a sufficient quantity of ascorbic acid.
5150TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_001The problem is, all the citrus fruit varieties grown in Labyrinthos have distressingly low values of this key nutrient. They say it has something to do with how the false sun cannot entirely replace the effects of natural sunlight.
5251TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_002Thus for our purposes, we are unlikely to improve the Mervynbread's levels of ascorbic acid simply by adding a Labyrinthos orange or two to the list of ingredients.
5352TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_003And yet the professor claimed to have managed the feat. The question is, how...?
5453TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5554TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A1_000_001He synthesized the acid himself?
5655TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A1_000_002He lied about using produce from within Labyrinthos?
5756TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_004Yes, it's entirely possible. He may have manufactured the nutrient using elements extracted from readily available Labyrinthos produce.
5857TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_005I highly doubt that. Single-minded though he may be, the professor is not a man to bend the facts when it comes to scientific method.
5958TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_006I think it more likely he manufactured his own source, using elements extracted from the available materials.
6059TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_007The process he employed, however, is a mystery.
6160TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_008It would take me *months* to research a manufacturing method from scratch, but we cannot allow the professor to submit his panaloaf unopposed. We need to consult with another expert on the subject!
6261TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_009Radz–at–Han is the home of alchemy, and one of its noted practitioners, Master Jalvaaz, is the Near East's leading authority on nutritional science.
6362TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_010I've never had the pleasure myself, but perhaps he will assent to an audience if we show up on his doorstep!
6463TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_011The new aetheryte allows us to travel to Thavnair directly, so that should save us some time. Let us be swift! And sure! ...We might have to work on “efficient.”
6564TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_020<groan>
6665TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_021Ugh, I feel sick to my stomach... But it's nothing compared to the nausea I suffered after one bite of the professor's panaloaf.
6766TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_022Come on. We'll find Master Jalvaaz in the city proper.
6867TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_030So this is the fabled city of Radz–at–Han. It's even more vibrant than I imagined!
6968TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_031...Yes, this is my first visit to Thavnair. To be perfectly honest, this is the first time I've ever left Sharlayan.
7069TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_032What of you, Player? Have you been here before?
7170TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_033Then you can lead the way. I've studied the layout of this place from top to bottom on parchment, but in the flesh, I'd probably get us lost before we'd taken ten steps.
7271TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_034The documents I've read mentioned Master Jalvaaz's affiliation with the High Crucible of Al-Kimiya. I wonder, though... The man should be getting on in years, and he may very well be retired.
7372TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_035Anyway, it's somewhere to start. Let's head there now, and see if he's still in residence.
7473TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_036Debroye is now accompanying you. Keep her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
7574TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_037You can leave Debroye behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with her and selecting the option to part ways.
7675TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_038If you wish to have Debroye accompany you again, return and speak with her at the original location.
7776TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_039
7877TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTA_100_040Are you supposed to be in here...?
7978TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTB_100_041Come to see the crucible, have you?
8079TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_050
8180TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_Q2_000_000What will you do?
8281TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_000_001Speak with Debroye.
8382TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_000_002Part ways with Debroye.
8483TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_000_003Nothing.
8584TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_060It seems that everywhere you look there's another sight to dazzle the senses...
8685TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_100_004**Discuss the crucible.
8786TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_061Now that is an impressive piece of alchemical apparatus! Why, I wager they could concoct almost any mixture they pleased in such a grand furnace.
8887TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_062Ugh...
8988TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_063Apologies, just some lingering aetherial sickness... Let's press on.
9089TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_100_005**Discuss alchemy.
9190TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_100_063They've spared no expense on this facility... When it comes to the field of alchemy, it would seem that Radz–at–Han is malms ahead of everyone else─even the learned professors of Sharlayan.
9291TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_100_006**Discuss local cuisine.
9392TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_064Oh my, authentic Hannish curries! That spicy aroma is to die for!
9493TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_065But as much as I would love to sample all the foods on offer, my gourmet research will have to wait...
9594TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A2_100_007**Discuss local wares.
9695TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_066So much alchemical equipment. Even with all the time I've spent at the Faculty of Medicine, I've never seen even half of these devices... Perhaps I should spend some time studying here in Thavnair.
9796TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_070Are you sure you wish to part ways with Debroye?
9897TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_071Something urgent arise? Please, attend to your errand, and we can meet back near the entrance to the city. I'll have no trouble keeping myself occupied in the meantime.
9998TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_080Welcome back! If you've the time now, shall we go and ask after Master Jalvaaz? Surely the alchemists at the High Crucible know of his whereabouts.
10099TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_100_081Welcome back! Shall we see if Master Jalvaaz is to be found at Mehryde's Meyhane, then?
101100TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_000_085You must be accompanied by Debroye and have her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
102101TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_100_085Debroye has yet to arrive. Be sure she is at your side before attempting to continue.
103102TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_SYSTEM_100_086
104103TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTA_000_090Jalvaaz? Never heard of the fellow. He may have worked here once, but I know no one of that name among my present colleagues.
105104TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_091Then I suppose he is retired after all. Actually, considering his age, there is no guarantee that the man is even...
106105TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_092Ahem, well let us assume he is still among us for the moment. Shall we continue our inquiries on the floor below?
107106TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTA_000_095As I said, there's no Jalvaaz here.
108107TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTB_000_100You're looking for a “Jalvaaz”? The alchemist? That would be my great-grandfather, but it's been quite some time since he last worked here...
109108TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_101Your...great-grandfather. He, uh, he was a great man...
110109TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTB_000_102He is! Over a hundred summers young, and still going strong.
111110TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTB_000_103As a prominent scholar of nutrition and health, he's always practiced what he preaches. Why, he's even spry enough to visit the tavern from time to time. If you head over to Mehryde's Meyhane, you might chance to see him there.
112111TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_104That's wonderful news, thank you! I am very eager to meet him!
113112TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_105There you have it, Player. Our next destination is Mehr─ <groan>
114113TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_106Ugh...oh dear. Aetheryte travel did *not* agree with me. Ahem. Deep breaths, and away to Mehryde's Meyhane we go!
115114TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_ALCHEMISTB_000_108When I say great-grandfather visits the tavern from time to time, what I really mean is “all the time.” ...Are you sure your friend is well enough for this, though?
116115TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_110I don't see anyone who matches the portrait from the books...which makes sense, considering how young he was in that particular picture. I wonder...what...he...
117116TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_111<groan>
118117TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_100_111(-???-)Miss...?
119118TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_112(-Booming Bystander-)Ah... Don't you worry now, young lady! I'll brew a remedy that'll put you back on your feet in a twinkling!
120119TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_113Thank you, sir, I feel ever so much better. I've never heard of a bout of aetherial sickness lasting this long...
121120TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_114(-Booming Bystander-)Oh, no, my dear, you are quite clearly suffering from a severe case of anemia. All the symptoms point to a lack of ascorbic acid.
122121TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_115(-Booming Bystander-)Without that nutrient, your body has trouble absorbing iron, which in turn leads to thinning blood, a disturbing pallor, and extreme fatigue.
123122TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_116(-Booming Bystander-)The medicine I gave you will remedy the immediate issues, but I strongly suggest you rethink your dietary habits. We wouldn't want your youthful promise stolen by a fatal case of scurvy now, would we?
124123TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_117Now that I think on it, I've been eating nothing but panaloaf samples since we started all this.
125124TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_118It stands to reason that our yet-to-be-perfected meals would leave me low on ascorbic acid. Thaliak save me, I almost made the same mistake as Mervyn...
126125TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_119Your knowledge of the nutritional sciences is most impressive, Master...?
127126TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_120Hm? Oh, it's just plain old “Jalvaaz” these days, my dear. I'm retired now, but I've learned a thing or two about healthy eating and longevity over the years.
128127TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_121So you *are* Jalvaaz! I knew it!
129128TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_122My name is Debroye, and I study nutrition at the Studium in Sharlayan. I come seeking wisdom from the foremost expert in the field─that being you, of course!
130129TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_123If you know of a viable laboratory method for manufacturing ascorbic acid, then I humbly request that you instruct me in the process.
131130TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_124Well, isn't this a coincidence? It wasn't long ago that a professor from your Studium approached me looking to solve the exact same dilemma.
132131TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_125Yes, I know of a method─I was the one who discovered it! But the sweat of my brow comes at a price, Miss Debroye, and a rather rich one at that.
133132TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_126How rich...?
134133TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_127The professor paid it without so much as raising an eyebrow, but I'm afraid the cost of my services is beyond the means of the average student.
135134TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_128Still, it hardly seems fair to turn you away at the gate. I tell you what, why don't I make you a deal?
136135TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_129You see, I have always been a lover of curries, but when you've eaten as many as I have, you begin to grow tired of the same Hannish flavors.
137136TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_130Then I recently came to learn of an Eorzean-style curry plate that I am desperate to try.
138137TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_131I obtained the recipe from a trader, and I've even gone so far as to gather the ingredients so the cook here can take a stab at preparing the dish.
139138TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_132But now destiny has seen fit to drop a pair of Western travelers in my lap. And who better to make Western cuisine than the natives of those lands, eh?
140139TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_133So here's my offer: you prepare the curry, and I teach you the method...provided my palate is properly tickled.
141140TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_134We accept! I promise you, we will make the most delicious curry you've ever tasted!
142141TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_135That other visitor was almost certainly Professor Galveroche. Which means the process he learned is one which can be followed using resources from Labyrinthos!
143142TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_136And what's more, Eorzean curry is one of the Last Stand's most famous dishes. I've made it many times.
144143TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_137First you caramelize the onions to bring out their sweetness, add the bouillon, dice your choice of meat and stew until tender, oh, and be sure to skim the floaty bits from the water, of course, and then...
145144TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_Q3_000_000What will you say?
146145TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A3_000_001Debroye, save it for the kitchen!
147146TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_A3_000_002Uh, you lost me...
148147TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_138Sorry, I did it again, didn't I?
149148TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_139Anyway, yes, I know all the steps...aside from mixing the “golden spice.” Master Dickon was always the one to prepare that ingredient.
150149TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_140If you could take care of that part, then I'd be more than happy to handle everything else.
151150TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_141As I said, I have all the ingredients you need and more besides. Cook away, and let me know if you're running low on anything! Ah, my mouth is watering already...
152151TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_150You were in charge of preparing the spice, weren't you? Take whatever you need to complete that curry, and don't spare me the sting!
153152TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_100_151That should be enough spice for a single dish. ...Well, do you mean to starve me first? Hand it to your friend there, and let's taste this curry already!
154153TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_160How is that spice mixture coming along?
155154TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_161Mmm, it smells wonderful! This will give our curry the perfect amount of zest...
156155TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_162Hmmm, so this is what Eorzean curry looks like─the colors, the aroma, it's so different to what we serve here. Now, for the all-important taste...
157156TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_163Is it...is it to your liking, sir?
158157TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_164...It's fantastic! The more you eat, the more the layers of flavor compound into a harmonious orchestra of deliciousness!
159158TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_165They say you can taste the chef's intention in a meal, and your determination to impress me has infused every bite.
160159TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_167Then, you'll share your method with us...?
161160TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_168Of course I will! A meal such as that is worth more than a man's weight in gold!
162161TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_169...So, coconut milk is the key.
163162TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_170Thank you so much, Jalvaaz, sir!
164163TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_171Ahem, there *is* one more thing I would ask, if I may. What, in your opinion, is the biggest secret to health and long life?
165164TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_172A well-balanced diet is important, no doubt about that, but I believe you must enjoy what you eat.
166165TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_JALVAAZ_000_173It's always seemed to me that digestion is aided by how much one relishes a meal. And the better one's digestion, the more nutrients one's body absorbs!

171170TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_180Thank you, Player, for accompanying me to such a far-flung locale, and on such short notice! I don't know if I could have secured that alchemical process from Jalvaaz without your assistance.
172171TEXT_AKTKLA305_04150_DEBROYE_000_181But now that we have it, our next batch of Mervynbread will be well and truly perfect! ...This time! ...For certain!
