Of the Properties of Beastmen

[Firon]

This is what Rowena says seems like she is talking about upgrading af weps or something.

Rowena:Aye, I've known Gerolt ever since I landed in this business. Ain't seen him for a while, though. Last time I saw him, the ol' fool had tears in his eyes and snot drippin' from his nose. Fallen on hard times, he said. Asked for a bit o' coin to tide him over. Never paid me back, neither.

Rowena: Couldn't say for sure where he is now. Seem to remember hearin' he was in the Black Shroud, puttin' up at Hawthorne Hut or some such place.
Rowena: You might do well to commission his work. He'll even reforge the relics of old if you make it worth his while, and there ain't no other in Eorzea as can do that.
Rowena: If it's relics you care to know about, I've a promissory note what might catch your fancy. It don't look like much, but it'll get ol' Gerolt to fire up his forge. That much I promise.

Rowena: I'm loath to part with it...but I s'pose I could bring myself to do so if you gave me somethin' to cover Gerolt's debt...
Rowena: Saaay...three primal seals? Aye, the ones them beastmen leaders carry. And none o' the same, neither! Three different
 seals. And throw in a copy of On the Properties of Beastmen
 for good measure. Bring me that little lot, and the note's yours.

Rowena: Not a bad deal, if I say so myself.

Rowena: Seems as of late, there's been much talk of revisitin' the ways of the past...and not just by them addled collectors what come to me for my services. I, for one, welcome the chatter if it means a heavy purse.

Rowena: It started with the revival of the Grand Companies, it did.

Rowena: That got people's heads all filled with flowery visions of a time when the streets were lined with gold, honeyed wine flowed from fountains, and noble kings ruled justly over the land.

Rowena: But it has been the talk of ancient arts of war and magic, magicked artifacts, and lost lore that's piqued my interest.
Rowena: Now, if someone was able to find these relics...and have them properly restored...think of the possibilities! Heh heh heh...

Rowena: The highest rankin' among the beastmen carry all manner of wards and whatnot bearin' the seals o' the primals they serve.
Rowena: Seals come in all forms, dependin' on what beast tribe you're dealin' with. Fetch a pretty price, too, in some circles. Don't ask me why, but rich folk've taken to collectin' the bloody things. Primal seals, they call them.

Rowena: And that's why I'm lookin' to get my hands on one of each─an inferno seal from the Amalj'aa, a vortex seal from the Ixal, and a tremor seal from the kobolds.
Inferno seals, vortex seals, and tremor seals can be obtained from the Battle for the Golden Bazaar, Hyrstmill, and Aleport respectively.

Rowena: Each Grand Company's seen to issuin' a book─On the Properties of Beastmen. That'll help you tell if the seals you find are the genuine article. Oh, and don't you go forgettin' to bring me that copy of On the Properties of Beastmen
, neither.

if they max out, check the timer on them, it resets in a bit over a day after they max out so you can turn them in again, and again, and again

Yeah I've tried that my server is pretty on-top of maxing out Gridania even after the resets.

I am going to wait until they're in until i believe this, it would seem they're not making them "rare" but rather alienating the amount of people who can do them, not everyone can do Hamlet.

What? how are you locked out of doing Hamlet? I assumed you just needed a party of 8 and off you go?

[Isaaru]

So it appears this is the start of the Job-specific weapons. I bet Gerolt will make you a gimpo weapon and be like, I CAN FIX THAT FOR YOU AND MAKE IT BETTER IF YOU DO ALL OF THIS STUFF FOR ME.

This is actually exciting. I haven't had any motivation to sign in besides Dungeons and Primals at night, but now it looks like I have something to do!

Another thing: from what Firon posted it looks like you have to obtain the 25k items and then do all three hamlets after to obtain the items.

[SirOleas]

I don't think the entire quest is in yet.
I am staring at Gerlot right now. He currently resides at Hawthorne Hut where he lays on the ground drunker than a skunk.

Gerolt: Wh-Who in da sheven hellsh... <hic> ...let deshe chocobosh looshe in me head!?
Gerolt: For godsh' shakesh, shomebody m-make dem shtop shtampedin'! <groan>

That is unless getting the 25k key item gives us a different Gerlot.

[Isaaru]

You will most likely need the note from Rowena to actually have any form of related reaction.

And yes, the full quest isn't here. The weapons aren't even currently in the dats.

[SirOleas]

At least this is shaping up to be something entertaining.
Can't wait to get into this quest.

[Jynx]

Well looks like I have a goal to accomplish with the few days off I have.

Now to convince my Linkshell that this is more important than something silly like Garuda fights...

[Isaaru]

Yeah definitely. Like I said before this seems to be just the start and it'll take relatively long. I hope SE can pull something off that'll make it take at least a month to obtain. (Hopefully more since DL bodies still take more than a month to obtain unless youre lucky >.>)
