Resistance Is (Not) Futile

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* At the mention of forging additional Resistance weapons, Zlatan's expression turns to one of staggering guilt. Knowing their coffers cannot bear the weight of additional debt, he accedes to your request on the condition that you procure the required powder. How the deed is to be done, he leaves entirely to your discretion.
* Through means perhaps better left unspoken, you acquire the requisite powder for Gerolt's work. Newly armed, he bids you set out into the world and hone your skills with this newly fashioned Resistance weapon. And when the time comes, he will help you to reach new heights of martial perfection.
==Objectives==
* Obtain Thavnairian scalepowder/Deliver the Thavnairian scalepowder to Zlatan at Gangos.

Zlatan 	You wish to forge another Resistance weapon? We do have a surplus of materials from the first, but there still remains the matter of the powder.
Zlatan 	When we first resolved to undertake the forging of these weapons, we understood it would come at considerable cost. But it is no exaggeration to say that a single weapon has greatly taxed our coffers.
Zlatan 	It shames me to ask this after you have done so much for our cause, but... Might we prevail upon you to procure the powder on our behalf?
Zlatan 	Hopefully, acquiring the means to barter for additional powder shouldn't be too taxing a task for a worldly adventurer such as yourself.
 	
Zlatan 	You wish to forge another Resistance weapon? Oh dear...
 	
Zlatan 	It will take time, but we should be able to gather the required materials. Save for one... If you would be willing to acquire more powder, we will see to the rest.
 	
Zlatan 	My apologies for placing such a burden on you, but we simply cannot afford to accrue further debt from Mistress Rowena.
 	
Zlatan 	I take it you have paid visit to the House of Splendors?
 	
Zlatan 	Excellent. I will have Master Gerolt set to work at once.
 	
Gerolt 	Linin' Rowena's pockets again... <sigh>
Gerolt 	Better your coin than the Bozjans' I suppose. If yer sure about this, we'll get to finishin' yer weapon.
Gerolt 	Some o' me best work, if I do say so meself. !
Gerolt 	Some o' me best work, if I do say so meself. I call 'em and !
Gerolt 	If what we've learned about the blades o' Gunnhildr is true, ye can make 'em stronger dependin' on what manner o' monster you felled with 'em. Should hold true for yers as well.
Gerolt 	So once ye've put 'em/her through their/her paces, come back an' I'll see about toughenin' 'em/her up.
