The Spirit of Hospitality

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The long-awaited Dellemont d'Or has begun. Melkoko takes a moment to warn you that Master Dellemont is notoriously difficult to impress, and goes on to say that it will be a two–chocobo race between you and H'mhasi Tia. Before you do aught else, seek out Master Dellemont at the Bismarck and have the particulars of the contest from him.
* Having informed you that you are the final contestant, Dellemont furnishes you with the particulars of the contest. Of a three-course meal, the main course is to be a meat dish, while the overall theme is hospitality. Bear word of this back to Melkoko at the Missing Member.
* As the final contestant, you are at a disadvantage, for Dellemont will be hard-pressed to keep his appetite whetted by the time he tastes your cooking. Bearing this fact in mind, and with Melkoko's guidance, you decide upon a course consisting of morel salad, deep-fried okeanis, and marron glace. Draw upon all your culinary skills to create the finest samples of these dishes, and present them to the contest council member at the Bismarck.
* You present your dishes to the contest council member, who lays them out for judging. After a tense few heartbeats, Dellemont awards you a perfect ten─the first in the entire history of the contest, and a point above H'mhasi Tia's nine. So it is that you are crowned champion. Dellemont takes a moment to explain what it was that divided you and your rival. While H'mhasi Tia's creations were magnificent in their own right, they lacked the spirit of hospitality that defined your dishes. H'mhasi admits defeat and runs off distraught, with Melkoko hot on his heels. Follow the couple back to the Missing Member and ensure that all is well between them.
* You bear witness as Melkoko and H'mhasi Tia make their peace with one another. It is revealed that H'mhasi Tia's apparent laziness was simply an act of posturing, and he had been training hard for the contest in secret. With Rhoswen's permission, he decides to journey the realm in order to become as great a culinarian as you, and Melkoko promises that she will wait for him. After the others leave, Melkoko thanks you for being an inspiration to her and H'mhasi Tia. In turn inspired by her praise, you are determined to be the best culinarian you can be, and a worthy champion of the Dellemont d'Or.
※The next culinarian quest will be available from Lyngsath once you have met the following requirements:
※ You must have registered a product key for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood to your service account.
※ You must have completed the main scenario quest “The Far Edge of Fate.”

Melkoko 	It's begun, [Player Name]─the Dellemont d'Or!
Melkoko 	In case you didn't already know, Master Dellemont is notoriously difficult to impress. In the entire history of the contest, no one has ever been awarded the full ten points, and even respected chefs typically get only four. This time, I believe it will be a two-chocobo race between you and H'mhasi Tia.
Melkoko 	Now then, before you do aught else, you will need to know the particulars such as main ingredient and theme. Please go to the Bismarck and have them from Master Dellemont!

Lyngsath 	I believe in ye, [Player Name]! I know ye can win the Dellemont d'Or an' save the Bismarck...and me arse!
 	
Dellemmont 	There you are, my friend. According to the registry, you are our final contestant.
Dellemmont 	This year, the main ingredient is meat. It matters not what kind. This is to be used in the main course, which you must present with an appetizer and a dessert.
Dellemmont 	As for the theme, it is “hospitality.” Prepare your dishes in the spirit of this theme, then present them to the council member yonder. Best of luck to you!
 	
Dellemmont 	In case you have forgotten, the main ingredient is meat and the theme is hospitality. When your dishes are ready, present them to the council member yonder. Best of luck to you!
Taikaiiin 	This is proving to be the liveliest Dellemont d'Or in recent memory!
 	
Melkoko 	Meat and hospitality... Bugger, this is a tough one. The main ingredient is as broad as they come, and the theme is abstract to boot. It also worries me that you're the last contestant.
Melkoko 	Among other things, Master Dellemont is famous for his bottomless stomach, but even he would be hard-pressed to keep his appetite whetted after endless plates of meat. Well, I suppose we'll just have to trust to his objectivity. Now then, what do you have in mind for an appetizer?
 	
Melkoko 	Ah, indeed. In which case, I believe mushrooms are a sound choice. Yes, let's go with the light and refreshing morel salad!
Melkoko 	Moving on, what will you do for the all-important main course?
 	
Melkoko 	Hmmm, what would fit the bill...? Ah, I have it: deep-fried okeanis!
 	
Melkoko 	Now, for this dish, the breading is the key to success, but it's also very difficult to get right. Please ensure that it turns out light and crisp.
Melkoko 	And last but not least, the dessert! Your Sohm Al tart was so well received, what do you think about making it again?
 	
Melkoko 	Ah, so something that can be enjoyed even on a full stomach. In which case, I wholeheartedly recommend a serving of marron glace.
Melkoko 	And with that, our course is decided. The rest is up to you, [Player Name]. When you have prepared all three dishes, present them to the contest council member at the Bismarck. I shall pray for your success!
 	
Melkoko 	The rest is up to you, [Player Name]. When you have prepared all three dishes, present them to the contest council member at the Bismarck. I shall pray for your success!
 	
Taikaiiin 	If your dishes are ready, I shall lay them out for Master Dellemont.
Hmhasitia 	I was just awarded the highest score in the history of the Dellemont d'Or. The Bismarck is as good as mine.
Melkoko 	Aren't ye gettin' ahead o' yerself!? [Player Name] can still beat yer nine bloody points!
Hmhasitia 	Hah, Master Dellemont will never award a perfect ten. It would be tantamount to declaring that his legend has been surpassed─not a decision to be made lightly.
Dellemmont 	Without further ado...
Taikaiiin 	Master Dellemont. The score, if you would!
Taikaiiin 	Eight points! Meaning that victory goes to...
Taikaiiin 	N-No! It's nine points! We have a tie at the highest score ever awarded!
Dellemmont 	PERFECT TEN!
Taikaiiin 	We have a winner: [Player Name], with the first perfect ten in history!
Hmhasitia 	H-How can this be? Master Dellemont, you were shaking your head...
Dellemmont 	It was not out of disappointment, I assure you. Nay, I was simply coming to terms with reality─the reality that a culinarian has finally appeared who surpasses me.
Dellemmont 	First of all, the appetizer. After a long day of judging, the mushrooms helped to absorb the grease that had collected in my stomach, giving it a new lease on life─an act of consideration worthy of the most devoted of mothers.
Dellemmont 	Then came the main course. Sinking my teeth into the breading, delightfully light and crisp, my tongue was greeted with a harmony of flavors, which burst forth from the succulent cut of okeanis beneath. That great love went into making it tender was plain to my senses.
Dellemmont 	And finally, dessert. Truth be told, by this time I was ripe to burst, but compact as it was, I could comfortably squeeze in the marron glace, whose concentrated sweetness served as the perfect accent to a wonderful meal. From the first bite to the last, I felt the spirit of hospitality.
Dellemmont 	In the end, it was [Player Name]'s interpretation of the theme which divided her/him from the field. Rather than striving to astonish with her/his handiwork, s/he kept the diner foremost in her/his mind.
Melkoko 	Consideration worthy of the most devoted mother... This is something you learned through the Ishgardian beet soup!
 	
Lyngsath 	An' it seems to me ye made the okeanis 'specially tender by marinatin' it, like when ye made the cockatrice meatballs fer me friend!
 	
Dellemmont 	H'mhasi Tia. Your dishes were magnificent, make no mistake. None could doubt that great skill went into their creation.
Dellemmont 	However, more so than a thing to be created, food is a thing to be eaten. You had forgotten this, and it made all the difference.
Hmhasitia 	I've lost. As promised, I'll give up being a culinarian.
Melkoko 	Mh-Mhasi–Bee! Waaait!
Dellemmont 	Congratulations, my friend. And thank you. For the first time in a long while, I have tasted food that satisfied not only my senses, but my soul as well. I look forward to seeing you again, not as judge and contestant, but as peers.
 	
Lyngsath 	Whew... The Bismarck's safe, thanks to you. If Melkoko pulls the same shite again, though, I'm throwin' 'er off the upper decks. But speakin' o' the girl, might be as ye should check up on 'er an' H'mhasi Tia. They went off in the direction o' the Missin' Member.
 	
Lyngsath 	Might be as ye should check up on Melkoko an' H'mhasi Tia. They went off in the direction o' the Missin' Member.
 	
Melkoko 	Ye can't just give up!
Hmhasitia 	But you're the one who wanted me to! You made me swear it!
Melkoko 	I-I only did it 'cause ye was shirkin' yer duties! I wanted the old Mhasi–Bee back, the one who'd work at 'is cookin' every wakin' moment!
Hmhasitia 	Fool of a Lalafell! I was shirking so that I could prepare for the contest in secret!
 	
Hmhasitia 	I didn't want to betray any hint of effort to my rivals. The unassailable champion─that's the aura I wanted to exude.
Melkoko 	<sigh> So dreamy... I-I mean, I beg ye, Mhasi─don't give up bein' a culinarian! I can't bear the thought o' not bein' able to eat yer cookin' no more!
Hmhasitia 	Well, if my Melly-Belly insists, I suppose there's nothing for it but to keep doing what I do best.
 	
Rhoswen 	Will ye keep it down!? We've all 'ad a gutful o' yer lovers' farce!
 	
Rhoswen 	So, ye didn't win. That's too bad. What do ye intend to do now?
Hmhasitia 	Captain, if you will permit it, I would beg leave of your service for a time.
Hmhasitia 	This adventurer possesses something I do not. In journeying the realm as s/he does, I hope that I will come to possess it as well.
Rhoswen 	If that's what ye want, then I won't stop ye. But what about Melkoko 'ere? Ye just gonna leave 'er be'ind? If ye make 'er cry, I won't 'esitate to make this place live up to its name.
Hmhasitia 	I must leave your side for a while, Melly–Belly. But upon my honor, I swear that I'll return to you and make you proud.
Melkoko 	I know you will, Mhasi-Bee. I'll wait for you─forever and a day!
 	
Rhoswen 	Finally, some peace an' quiet.
Melkoko 	I owe you an apology, [Player Name]. It was wrong of me to embroil you in my personal affairs.
Melkoko 	But it wasn't all to the bad. You were a positive influence upon Mhasi and me.
Melkoko 	Thanks to you, he was reminded what it means to be a culinarian, and I've come to love my job even more than I already did.
Melkoko 	All of this was made possible through your cooking. You've taken a humble thing and given it the power to change lives.
Melkoko 	Thank you, [Player Name]─for being an inspiration to us all! And a belated congratulations for winning the Dellemont d'Or! A more worthy champion there has never been!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
