My First Cross-pein Hammer

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* As a firm believer in hands-on education, Brithael has instructed you to smelt bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. The requisite ore can be purchased from Smydhaemr, the guild supplier, but the essential fire shard will have to be obtained elsewhere. Craft a single bronze ingot and deliver it to Brithael.
* Brithael is reasonably impressed by the quality of your bronze and declares that you have a gift for the craft. However, he stresses that no amount of talent can make up for a lack of experience, and asks that you return for further training only after the fundamentals have become second nature to you.
※The next blacksmith quest will be available from Brithael upon reaching level 5.
==Objectives==
* Deliver a bronze ingot to Brithael.

Brithael 	Now, that there is a beautiful sight... Never forget─a smitty's hammer is her/his one true love. Friends'll betray ye, lovers'll leave ye, but yer hammer'll never do ye no wrong.
Brithael 	Gods, seein' ye standin' there reminds me of a less ale-sodden, more lady-shaped/ale-sodden version o' me younger self...
Brithael 	But on to yer task! We ain't a congregation o' soft-handed scholarlies here. Smitties learn by doin'!
Brithael 	Try yer hand at makin' a bronze ingot. Any smitty worth her/his salt's got to master the fundamentals, an' ye can't get more fundamental than that!
Brithael 	It ain't complicated─bronze is jus' copper an' tin melted down an' mixed together.
Brithael 	So ye'll be needin'...? Aye, that's it! Copper an' tin ore. An' seein' as most folk don't carry stuff like that 'round with 'em without reason, Smydhaemr outside can provide ye with some─fer a price, that is.
Brithael 	What the lad can't sell ye, though, is the fire shard ye'll need.
Brithael 	Aye─it ain't complicated, but that don't mean it's easy. Ye need to melt the metals, after all, an' to do that ye need to get 'em hotter than a Bombard's backside/a flame-kissed whore's crotch.
Brithael 	An' that's all there is to it! Think ye can handle it, lass/lad?
 	
Brithael 	Remember, to make a bronze ingot, all ye need is copper, tin, an' a fire shard. Smydhaemr can sell ye the ore, but ye'll have to find the shard on yer own. 'Course, I'm tellin' ye this on the assumption that ye've still to do the job. If ye've done it already, show us yer work fer gods' sakes!
Brithael 	Heh heh...yer all right, lass/lad.
Brithael 	Better than that, even. Sure you ain't done this before?
Brithael 	'Cause honestly, this ain't what ye'd expect from a 'venturer fresh off the street.
Brithael 	I think ye might be a bleedin' natural, lass/lad!
Brithael 	It takes jus' the right balance o' metals to produce bronze suitable fer weapons an' tools.
Brithael 	But this ingot ye've made me, lass/lad, it's on a par with them as our veterans produce. Ye could take this down to Hawkers' Alley and find a buyer in no time.
Brithael 	Byregot's watchin' over ye, ain't no doubt about it.
Brithael 	Heh heh...ye've got talent, lass/lad─but don't let it go to yer head.
Brithael 	I've seen plenty o' folk get drunk on early success, only to puke their guts up later 'cause they forgot that talent's worth bugger all without hard work an' dedication.
Brithael 	So I tell ye what: keep it simple fer now, lass/lad. Practice the fundamentals till ye can smelt bronze in yer sleep. An' when ye've gained the kind o' confidence as only comes with experience, come back an' I'll teach ye somethin' new.
