Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* According to Jalzahn, your relic weapon is presently not benefiting fully from the soul energy it holds. The problem, he posits, lies in the unattuned state of that energy to its host. Having struck a wall in his search for a solution, Jalzahn bids you recruit the assistance of the ill-tempered weaponsmith Gerolt.
* Owing to your quick thinking, Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to your cause. Deliver the good tidings to Jalzahn.
* In an unlikely alliance, Jalzahn and Gerolt have devised the means by which your weapon may be further enhanced. It seems that, by rendering the relic aethertight by way of a special glaze, you will be able to attune its soul energy through normal use. Speak with Jalzahn when you are ready to begin the process.
* Jalzahn has entrusted you the care of Gerolt's Zodiac glass. Present to him the relic you wish enhanced, and he will coat it in soulglaze.
※Should you misplace the Zodiac glass, you may obtain a new one by speaking with Drake at Hyrstmill.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Gerolt.
* Speak with Jalzahn.

Jalzahn 	I trust you have been keeping well, my friend. As you can doubtless guess, my research into the enhancement of your relic continues.
Jalzahn 	Most recently, I have been delving into the subject of “soul attunement.” Allow me to explain how it pertains to our endeavor.
Jalzahn 	Through no small amount of effort on your part, your weapon has become host to abundant soul energy.
Jalzahn 	However, it seemed to me that the relic was not as powerful as it should have been. It was plainly not benefiting fully from the energy it held.
Jalzahn 	After conducting some tests, I believe I have identified the problem: the degree of soul attunement.
Jalzahn 	You see, though soul energy permeates your weapon, at present, that energy is not attuned to its host. As such, much of it remains latent and untapped.
Jalzahn 	If your weapon is to realize its potential, it must have full access to this energy. Alas, I fear that my expertise alone has not sufficed to find a solution to this problem.
Jalzahn 	Being the person who reforged your weapon, Gerolt may well possess knowledge that is of use to us.
Jalzahn 	However, you will recall that the man hasn't been exactly accommodating of my requests for assistance. Unless some manner of miracle has come to pass, I doubt that he would be willing to help me now.
Jalzahn 	But you, my friend─you have something of a rapport with Gerolt, yes? I believe you stand a far better chance of winning him over to our cause. I would be much obliged if you could speak with him in my stead.
Gerolt 	If yer here fer yer kettle, it ain't ready. Takes time to get the contours jus' right, ye ken?
Gerolt 	...You again!? Can't a man mend kettles in peace!? What in the seven hells do ye want this time!?
Gerolt 	Eh? Advice on how to enhance yer relic of eld? Well, might be as I can help ye, but what's in it fer me? Why should I drop me kettle-mendin' jus' so ye can kill things better?
 	
Gerolt 	Ye call us friends an' say that harlot's name in the same breath!? Yer a black-hearted bloody bastard, ye know that!? Hmph!
 	
Gerolt 	Hmmm... As much as I hate to admit it, ye might be on to somethin'. I've been short on inspiration fer me kettle work o' late.
 	
Gerolt 	Hmmm... Now that ye mention it, puttin' that know-it-all in his place would certainly make me feel better 'bout meself...
 	
Gerolt 	Fine, I'll hear what Jalzahn has to say. Ye go an' tell him to get his arse over here.
 	
Jalzahn 	Have you spoken with Gerolt yet? Seeing as you have something of a rapport with the man, you stand a far greater chance than me of winning him over to our cause.
 	
Jalzahn 	Gerolt has agreed to help us? Incredible! I know not what honeyed words you used to convince him, but it seems you are as skilled with your tongue as you are with your weapon. But come, let us waste no time.
Gerolt 	I'm told ye've got questions fer me, old man. I ain't got all day, so be quick 'bout it.
Jalzahn 	Very well. As you are doubtless aware, with [Player Name]'s assistance, I have sought to recreate the mighty arms as wielded by the Zodiac Braves of legend. Thus far, we have succeeded in...
Gerolt 	...So ye want to attune the relic's soul energy to its host. Is that right?
Jalzahn 	Precisely, Master Gerolt. Have you any advice to give us regarding this endeavor?
Gerolt 	Aye, I reckon I do. Ye need to isolate the energy inside yer relic from external influence.
Gerolt 	Ye see, soul energy naturally becomes attuned to its host through use. Problem is, bein' composed of aether, that energy's fickle as sin─gets easily distracted by forces outside the host.
Gerolt 	Fer attunement to happen, ye need to get rid o' them pesky outside forces. Ye can do this by makin' yer weapon “aethertight.” Buggered if I know how, though─ye'll have to work that bit out yerself.
Gerolt 	Anyroad, once yer weapon's aethertight, ye just need to use it as usual─run around an' kill things with it. Over time, the energy ought to become one with its host. After that, I imagine ye'll need to undo the, er...aethertightness, or the newfound power will remain sealed.
Jalzahn 	Isolation! But of course! This is far simpler and more elegant a solution than I had dared to imagine!
Jalzahn 	Now, I believe I can readily prepare a glaze that will render the relic impassable to aether. However, when will we know that sufficient attunement has been achieved, and the glaze is ready to be removed?
Gerolt 	Ye know them Archons from Sharlayan? They use newfangled goggles what allow the wearer to see traces of aether. We can make somethin' similar, I reckon.
Gerolt 	Mind ye, we don't need nothin' near as sophisticated. A magnifyin' glass fitted with lenses what're crafted from aether-sensitive material ought to serve our needs.
Jalzahn 	Ah, yes! By blending finely ground crystals with glass, it should be possible to create such lenses as you describe. A truly inspired idea! You are a genius, Master Gerolt!
Gerolt 	Praise is nice an' all, but it won't slake a man's thirst. If ye want to show yer admiration, do it with a drink.
Jalzahn 	But of course, my friend! For your invaluable assistance, I shall distill for you a fiery liquor the likes of which you have never tasted!
Gerolt 	Ooh, now yer talkin'! Ye ain't half bad, old man!
Gerolt 	Now, it jus' so happens I've got leftover materials to make our magnifyin' glass. I'll get to work on it right away!
Gerolt 	<pant> <pant> It's...it's ready... With this, ye'll be able to check soul attunement levels at a glance.
Gerolt 	I call it the Zodiac glass! See that you put it to good use, ye hear?
Jalzahn 	Your skills are beyond compare, Master Gerolt! For my part, I shall prepare the coating for [Player Name]'s relic anon.
Jalzahn 	When your preparations are in order, come and see me, and we shall make your weapon aethertight. I take my leave of you.
 	
Gerolt 	I'll hear what Jalzahn has to say. Ye go an' tell him to get his arse over here.
 	
Jalzahn 	The gods smile upon our endeavor once more, my friend. I shall entrust the Zodiac glass to your care, that you may use it to examine soul attunement levels wherever you desire.
Jalzahn 	Should you misplace it, you will need to speak with Gerolt's apprentice. Drake is his name, and he will furnish you with a replacement.
Jalzahn 	As for the aethertight coating, I am pleased to say that it is ready. In observance of the fine tradition of naming our creations, it shall be known as soulglaze!
Jalzahn 	Present to me the relic you wish enhanced, and I shall coat it with a layer of soulglaze. Thence begins the next stage of our quest to recreate the legendary arms of the Zodiac Braves!
 	
Gerolt 	Heh, it's been too bloody long since I've tasted foreign spirits. I can't wait to see what Jalzahn'll bri─
...Eh? What're ye still doin' here? Bugger off an' leave me in peace!
