is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This quest was adjusted in Patch 5.3.
==Journal==
* Expressing his desire to aid in your plight, Sark Malark bids you obtain three imperial uniforms and three imperial helms. The former are worn by 5th Cohort signiferi, secutores, and equites; the latter by 5th Cohort hoplomachi and laquearii.
* You have succeeded in wresting imperial helms and uniforms from their owners, but the items did not survive your fury unscathed. Return to Revenant's Toll and present the damaged equipment to Sark Malark.
* The helms and uniforms you retrieved are in dire need of repair before they can pass muster. Fortunately, the blacksmith Eginolf at the Diamond Forge should be able to assist you in the matter. Bring the equipment to him, that he might hammer them into better shape.
* Both the uniforms and the helms are now in good repair─at least outwardly. Return to Revenant's Toll and present them for Sark Malark's inspection.
* Sark Malark has given your imperial uniforms and helms his seal of approval. All that remains of your preparation is to obtain a suit of magitek armor.
==Objectives==
* Obtain uniforms from imperial soldiers.
* Obtain helms from imperial soldiers.
* Present the imperial equipment to Sark Malark.
* Deliver the imperial equipment to Eginolf for repair.
* Present the repaired equipment to Sark Malark.

Sark Malark 	You are called [Player Name], yes? I have heard of your plight from my friend Glaumunt. As a fellow adventurer and son of Eorzea both, I would offer you my assistance.
Sark Malark 	In order to infiltrate Castrum Centri, you and your comrades must disguise yourselves as imperial soldiers. The question is how to go about acquiring the uniforms and helms.
Sark Malark 	There are places a man might purchase them, but individuals who deal in such wares are not the sort to whom you would entrust your secrets.
Sark Malark 	It would be more prudent, I believe, to procure what you need via traditional means─from the bodies of their recently deceased owners.
Sark Malark 	The fortified area before Castrum Centri never lacks for imperial patrols. It ought not take long to obtain three sets of gear, one for each member of the infiltration team─Biggs, Wedge, and yourself.
Sark Malark 	When you have what you need, please return here and allow me to inspect the spoils.
 	
Sark Malark 	Were you able to obtain three sets of imperial equipment?
Sark Malark 	...Damaged, as I had suspected. In their present condition, I fear these uniforms and helms are like to draw suspicion.
Sark Malark 	They must be repaired, if only superficially.
Sark Malark 	Fortunately, the blacksmith Eginolf at the Diamond Forge in Rowena's House of Splendors should be able to hammer them into shape in no time.
Sark Malark 	I've already sent word ahead, and have been assured that he is expecting you. Worry not─we have already impressed upon him the need for utmost secrecy as to the nature of your mission.
 	
Eginolf 	Hm? So yer the 'venturer Sark Malark sent, are ye? I've been waitin' for ye. Now let's see what ye got for me.
 	
Eginolf 	...I see. Ah, yes─I reckon I can hammer these back into shape for ye.
Eginolf 	After all, I owe yer friend Sark Malark a favor or two. Took good care of ol' Eginolf back in the days before I fell in with old Rowena, he did.
Eginolf 	Did ye know he's the son of one o' the wealthiest families in the sultanate? Wouldn't expect someone like that to end up in the life he did, but I s'pose he always felt the 'venturer's life callin' him.
Eginolf 	...But here I go blabberin' on when there's work to be done. Just hold yer horsebirds for a moment or two and the great Eginolf will have yer gear lookin' good as new.
Eginolf 	...And there we have it. Won't do ye much good in battle, mind ye, but from what I hear, that's not yer priority anyhow.
Eginolf 	Do send Sark Malark my regards, will ye?
 	
Sark Malark 	Have you had the uniforms and helms repaired?
Sark Malark 	Yes, these will serve beautifully. The great Eginolf never fails to impress. The quality of these repairs would fool even a legatus.
Sark Malark 	Thus equipped, you should not have any trouble blending in amongst imperial forces.
Sark Malark 	Lest you fear that the Garleans might detect your “foreignness,” foreigners in fact form the greater part of the Garlean invasion force in Eorzea.
Sark Malark 	You see, when the Empire subjugates new territory, it assimilates the people of that land into its armed forces. In turn, these conscripted forces are sent to subjugate faraway lands. In this way, Garlemald nips rebellion in the bud and expands its territory in one fell stroke.
Sark Malark 	With that, my part in your mission is done. I am full glad to have been of assistance to your cause.
Sark Malark 	...Hm? Why would I, a wealthy merchant, wish to help you? I know not where you heard such a tale, but believe me when I say that I am but another humble adventurer, one who desires only to act in the best interests of the realm.

Sark Malark 	...Damaged, as I had suspected. In their present condition, I fear these uniforms and helms are like to draw suspicion.
Sark Malark 	They must be repaired, if only superficially. Fortunately, I have some skilled artisans among my acquaintances.
Sark Malark 	Please take the uniforms to the Weavers' Guild in Ul'dah, and the helms to the Armorers' Guild in Limsa Lominsa.
Sark Malark 	I will send word so that both places know to expect you. Rest assured your mission will be kept in the utmost confidence.

Aethelwine 	Ah, you must be the adventurer [Player Name]! Welcome, welcome! My lord Sark Malark sent word that you would be along. So, what garments are these that require attention?
Aethelwine 	<gasp> Oh, my...
Well, I am certain you have your reasons, and I shan't question them. Nor do you need fear that I will spread gossip.
Aethelwine 	My lord Sark Malark is one of our very best clients, though these days I'm told he spends more time roaming the land as an adventurer.
Aethelwine 	Far be it from me to question my lord's tastes, but I struggle to understand why a man of his fabulous wealth would forsake the comforts of his estate for a life of danger and hardship.
Aethelwine 	...And the repairs are done! I was instructed to prioritize swiftness, and so I did. While I can't vouch for the protective capacity of the garments, they certainly look the part, even if I do say so myself.
Aethelwine 	Payment? Never you mind that─sending my regards to my lord Sark Malark will be payment enough.

H'naanza 	[Player Name]. I have been expecting you. Sark Malark gives me to understand you come on his behalf with unusual helms.
H'naanza 	...Yes, very unusual indeed. Though no more outlandish an order than I have come to expect from the merchant prince-turned-adventurer.
H'naanza 	Your awkward staring tells me I said something improper.
...Oh. Sark did not mention his background to you. <sigh> That was likely his intent, but I suppose there's no help for it now but to tell you the whole story.
H'naanza 	Sark Malark is the son of a successful Ul'dahn merchant. Though still tender in years, he has an eye for profit, and has made millions in his own right. Having achieved thus, he turned his attention towards his true passion─adventuring─and left the management of his fortune to trusted aides.
H'naanza 	The helms are ready. With a little more time, I could have achieved a far higher quality finish, but I was given to understand that you are in some haste. These should serve your needs well enough.
H'naanza 	Lest you wonder about payment, Sark Malark has already settled the bill. Do pass along my regards when next you see him.
