Weffrey's Dalamud Delights

*whispering*

Ingredients:
1 Gerulf Marmot Steak
1 handful of Dragon Pepper
Half a handful of Garlean Garlic
Half a handful of Wild Onion
Half a handful of Highland Parsley
1 pinch of Table Salt
1 pinch of Paprika
1 pinch of Black Pepper

Step 1: Take a trip to the Culinary Guild. Once you arrive place your station carefully behind the pillar, avoiding the other chefs' glances. (Note: Pulmia will notice you, but don't worry she'll be distracted shortly.)

Step 2: Stay as quiet as possible, while performing all steps. You will be using the ample supplies around the guild, free of charge! (Note: As long as you stay silent and act discreetly.)

Step 3: Before you "collect" the main ingredient, you must first grab all the side ingredients. From behind the pillar, you will be able to first grab one handful of Dragon Peppers, half a handful of Highland Parsley, half a handful of Wild Onions, and half a handful of Garlean Garlic. (Note: When Pulmia blinks, grab from the sacks!)

Step 4: If you acted subtly, it is time to move to the spices. Now to grab the Paprika, Black Pepper, and Table Salt. Surprisingly, they are found in a small cabinet behind the guild counter. This is a problem, considering you will not have direct access to it. To remedy this situation, strike a deal with the pirates eating on the balcony. I personally suggest offering them a cut of the gil once you make it famous creating this dish! (Note: Be mindful of how much noise you create when discussing the agreement with whichever pirate agreed to your terms.)

Step 5: If you completed the negotiations successfully, at least one pirate will begin to act disorderly claiming all sorts of accusations against the guild. The members behind the counter will rush over to see what the raucous is all about. That is your cue to grab those spices from the cabinet. (Note: Make a dash for the three spices. Then return back to your camp behind the pillar.)

Step 6: If everything went smoothly you are about half-way done! You have all the side ingredients now-not prepared yet though. Preparing the side ingredients will have its time, but now you need the main ingredient. The Marmot Steak. Beginning to smell a tender, juicy, succulent piece of meat in the air? Where is it coming from? From Gerulf. He's been getting it ready while you've been obtaining the side ingredients! Now it is time to cook up a juicy rumor to move Gerulf away from his station. Don't forget Pulmia needs to be shifted slightly as well because she will begin to become suspicious and watch more closely as you try your best to stay behind the pillar. Get these two to argue! (Note: Successful rumors include letting Pulmia know Gerulf drools in his own food or telling Gerulf, Pulmia lost a previous culinary contest.)

Step 7: If the two have begun fencing with culinary knives-success! Take Gerulf's pan, grab a plate, slide the Marmot Steak onto the plate, return the pan to Gerulf's station. (Note: Not many make it this far-good job if you have!)

Step 8: Take our your own culinary knife and begin to slice and dice the Dragon Peppers, Garlean Garlic, Wild Onions, and Highland Parsley. (Note: Thin slices are best.)

Step 9: Place the sliced and diced ingredients onto your pan and begin to heat until a slight light brown hue appears signaling the roasting is complete. (Note: You're getting there-great job!)

Step 10: Once the sliced and diced ingredients have been roasted, add them to the plate with the luscious Marmot Steak resting atop. (Note: Duck! The fencing match has not concluded! Pulmia just about took your head off. Never thought cooking was this dangerous? Think again disciples of war and magic!)

Step 11: Add the seasonings. Paprika to give it a nice kick! Black Pepper and Table Salt to enhance the flavors! (Note: Do not spill any into your eyes.)

Step 12: You have finished! Go outside and yell at the top of your lungs, "I've made Weffrey's Dalamud Delights!!!" (Note: Depending who is around you may need to explain to local Limsan officials about the title of this recipe. I have found telling them "Dalamud made me do it!" seems to be ineffective. I advise coming up with something more creative.)

Step 13: Taste your dish to ensure it is yummy with a good amount of spicy flavors. (Note: The spicier the better!)

Step 14: Share the dish with all your fellow adventurers! (Note: It is always great to share.)
