You Say Popoto, I Say...

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Edgyth has received word saying that Fufucha has finished formulating her plan. Hesitant to go alone, as this will be her first trip to Gridania, she asks for you to show her around. You agree to do her the favor and prepare to make your way to the city–state.
* You rendezvous with a somewhat overwhelmed Edgyth. This is her first time visiting anywhere with vegetation as lush as Gridania's and her heart is all aflutter. You wait for her to regain her composure before going to speak with Fufucha.
* Fufucha explains that she has chosen a somewhat unlikely candidate for this project: the popoto. Confident that they are both suited to Dravania's climate and full of potential, she instructs you and Edgyth to gather some from East End. You ready yourself for the work ahead.
* Edgyth mentions that a soldier told her popotoes were once grown in East End. She bids you collect a total of three wild popotoes, which she will then take back to the Mudplots.
* Edgyth is highly impressed by the speed with which you complete the task she assigned you. She prepares to haul the popotoes back to the Mudplots, making one last self-deprecating remark before setting off.
* You return to the Mudplots and hear from Edgyth that everything is in place for you to start planting the wild popotoes. Edgyth is impressed by your masterful technique, remarking she hopes to someday become even half as proficient as you. You are bid farewell and assured by Edgyth that she will take care of the rest of the work under the watchful eye of Fufucha.
※The next botanist quest will be available from Edgyth upon reaching level 65.

Edgyth 	[Player Name], [Player Name]! I have at long last received word from Fufucha!
Ah, just uttering her name gives me such joy...
Edgyth 	But this is hardly the time or place for me to be longing for her exquisite company─that's what every other waking moment is for. No, we need to head to Gridania so that we may actually enjoy her co─I mean, have her brief us on how best to proceed.
Edgyth 	Although, as this is my first trip to Gridania, I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much trouble to have you show me around?
Edgyth 	Oh, thank you, [Player Name]! You're just as courteous/chivalrous as the articles made you sound! I shall see you in Gridania shortly then.
Fufucha 	My understanding was that Edgyth would be coming here shortly. Although, I am still yet to see any sign of her arrival. I do hope she did not get lost somewhere along the way.
 	
Edgyth 	That lovely scent in the air, the lush greenery, this truly is the spiritual home of botany! I wonder if there isn't some way I could stay here more permanently...
Edgyth 	There I go daydreaming again! Honestly, Edgyth.
Let us make our way to the guild!
Edgyth 	Deep breaths, Edgyth. You're only surrounded by the most nature you've ever seen in your entire life. Perhaps speaking with Fufucha will help calm me down.
 	
Fufucha 	Let us get to the heart of the matter. I suggest that we cultivate a new species of popoto.
Edgyth 	P-Popoto? You mean the root vegetable used in soups and pancakes?
Fufucha 	The very same.
Fufucha 	While the Dravanian hinterlands enjoy more sunlight than most regions, the soil is far from fertile. The area's mountainous terrain and cold climes can also hardly be considered favorable.
Fufucha 	Succinctly put, it is not especially hospitable from a botanic point of view, and it should come as no surprise that any crops planted there would be lacking in quality. However, that is precisely why I propose we put our faith in the sturdy popoto.
Edgyth 	But do you not think we would struggle to sell regular popotoes? They're so ubiquitous in Eorzea I can't imagine who would be interested in one grown in Dravania...
Fufucha 	That would be true if we planned to simply grow the common popoto. However, through selective breeding, we shall give birth to one that is unique to Dravania─one that will come to represent the region.
Fufucha 	[Player Name], I would like you to gather some wild popotoes for me. We shall plant these in the Mudplots and crossbreed them.
Fufucha 	By improving upon popotoes that have already been able to grow in harsh conditions, we might be able to produce one of the toughest root vegetables known to man.
Fufucha 	You have my thanks. I suggest you try searching East End; the area was famed for its popoto production once upon a time.
Fufucha 	The settlement there that used to cultivate the vegetable may be long gone, but I imagine there should still be a few popotoes growing in the area. You certainly stand a much higher chance of finding wild popotoes there than you would aimlessly wandering the realm.
Edgyth 	And I shall accompany you, [Player Name]! I may not be able to help much with harvesting popotoes, but I'm sure I could be of some use... Perhaps I could clean your boots every now and then?
Fufucha 	I do not see the harm in Edgyth tagging along. It may even turn out to be quite the learning experience for her! East End is a relatively peaceful area, but I shall let the Order of the Twin Adder know you are coming as a precaution.
Edgyth 	Well then, it's settled! I shall go on ahead to scout the area for you.
Fufucha 	I shall take care of the popotoes once they have been planted. I cannot wait to see what you are able to collect; it has been quite some time since a job has gotten me this excited!
 	
Edgyth 	Oh, [Player Name], there you are! I heard from one of the soldiers that this is the area where popotoes used to be grown.
Edgyth 	Fufucha told me that we should aim to bring back three of them. That should be more than enough. Oh, and don't worry about lugging them back to Idyllshire, that's my job─another reason why I'm glad we only need three!
 	
Edgyth 	They should be somewhere around here. Let me know once you've managed to gather three.
Edgyth 	You've f-finished!? I wonder what it's like to be so skilled. Must be nice...
Edgyth 	I may be an inadequate botanist, but I would like to believe I have it in me to haul three popotoes as far as the Mudplots. I'll make sure to assist Fufucha in preparing them to be replanted as soon as I arrive.
 	
Edgyth 	Your timing is uncanny! We just finished our preparations not a moment ago. Now begins the hard work!
 	
Edgyth 	That was incredible! The finesse with which you planted each individual popoto... Now I know just why Fufucha speaks so highly of you!
Edgyth 	If I could be even half as good as you, I'd die a happy botanist. And there's no better opportunity for me to improve than now, with first-rate botanists mentoring me.
Edgyth 	Speaking of which, Fufucha has graciously agreed to help me crossbreed our popotoes and plant the resulting seeds. Truly, her loveliness knows no bounds! I look forward to seeing you again once our work is done.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
