Brand Loyalty

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* A client has requested that his commission be filled by the guildmaster herself. Disinclined to indulge this request, Guildmaster Geva has instead delegated the task to you. Craft a pair of boarskin smithy's gloves to the best of your ability and present it to Geva for inspection.
* Guildmaster Geva assures you that her client will be unable to distinguish the gloves you have crafted from ones of her own making. Take her at her word and deliver the gloves to the blacksmith waiting outside Fen–Yll Fineries.
* The blacksmith praises your craftsmanship, proclaiming the gloves you fashioned are the finest he has ever owned. Report your success to Geva at the Leatherworkers' Guild.
* The patterns which bear Geva's name were developed years ago in response to a rash of counterfeiting. Realizing that she could not prevent others from copying her creations, Geva swore a vow that the next line of Geva toadskin bags would be made with an eye towards economy, and that the patterns used would enable inexperienced leatherworkers to reproduce her designs with minimal waste. However, as an artisan worthy of the Fen–Yll name, you do not need to rely upon her patterns. Filled with pride in seeing you uphold the guild's high standards, she encourages you to continue your efforts.
※The next leatherworker quest will be available from Geva upon reaching level 45.
==Objectives==
* Present a pair of boarskin smithy's gloves to Geva.
* Deliver the boarskin smithy's gloves to the blacksmith.
* Report to Geva.

Geva 	Rhalgr take me! Of all the times for this order to come in...
Geva 	Here, have a look, [Player Name]. “An order for a pair of boarskin smithy's gloves made by the guildmaster herself, using her famous Geva patterns.” To be delivered posthaste, no less.
Geva 	I'd bet a month's earnings that this oaf couldn't tell my handiwork from a goobbue's arse, but does that stop him from filing such a tactless order when I'm up to my very ears in work for the exhibition? Apparently not!
Geva 	Posthaste!? I'd deliver a slap upside the head posthaste if it wouldn't have negative repercussions for guild business. <sigh> Fortunately, my new assistant has arrived.
Geva 	Why, you, of course, [Player Name]. I did mention that I'd be delegating work to you while I focused on the exhibition, did I not?
Geva 	What about the customer's conditions, you say? Bah! He'll get a pair of gloves made by the famous [Player Name] herself/himself, and he'll like them just fine.
 	
Geva 	Well? Have you brought the work of the famous [Player Name]?
Geva 	A smithy's gloves must be sturdy enough to protect his hands from the fires of the forge.
Geva 	At the same time, they must be pliant enough so as not to hinder the precise movements needed to work fine steel.
Geva 	Crafted from boarskin─lightweight, tough, and resistant to friction─this pair of smithy's gloves represents the best of both worlds.
Geva 	The simple design allows the five fingers to move with full range of motion─the ideal handwear for any capable smith.
Geva 	Your work has admirably captured each of these essential points. I am happy to sign off on it. You may deliver it to Fen–Yll Fineries without delay.
Geva 	What, the Geva patterns? Do not worry yourself about such foolishness. Have I not told you that he will know no better?
Geva 	At any rate, off with you. Even a fool of a client is a valued customer.
 	
Blacksmith 	My very first pair of custom-made smithy's gloves─made by the famous Guildmaster Geva, to boot─are set to arrive from the Leatherworkers' Guild any moment now! I can hardly wait to try them on!
Blacksmith 	A delivery for me, you say? Oh, do hand it over. And quickly, if you would!
Blacksmith 	Now what have we...? Hoglets to hornets and Byregot's my uncle─if this isn't the finest, most comfortable pair of gloves I've ever laid hands on! And to think they are the─ Hm, what's that you say?
 	
Blacksmith 	I am but a simple blacksmith, but I can read your face. Admit it, now: you would demand a higher price for such impeccable craftsmanship. That's it, yes?
Blacksmith 	Wh-What's that, you say!? These gloves are not the work of Geva?
Blacksmith 	Why, I never... I could just... I... I...
Blacksmith 	I couldn't give two shites about that! Haha! Hahahahahaha!
Blacksmith 	Friend, I don't know a damn thing about you leatherworkers and your patterns.
Blacksmith 	A fellow smith assured me that Geva's gloves were of peerless quality, and that was enough for me. I placed my order that same day, sight unseen.
Blacksmith 	And I am glad I did, for you have brought me the most comfortable pair of smithy's gloves I've ever had the pleasure to own. You and the guildmaster have my utmost gratitude.
 	
Blacksmith 	You've brought me the most comfortable pair of smithing gloves I've ever had the pleasure to own. Thank you.
 	
Geva 	Heh heh. Another satisfied customer, yes? I told you that you worried for naught, [Player Name].
Geva 	Oh, I suppose you're still curious about those Geva patterns, aren't you. Allow me to explain.
Geva 	Some years ago, Gridanians took quite a fancy to a toadskin bag of my design. So popular were the bags that they quickly sold out, driving prices up to a premium.
Geva 	What do you suppose happened next? Greedy artisans sought to cash in on my success. Toads were hunted nigh to extinction, and a host of imitation bags flooded the market.
Geva 	I was devastated, as a proud leatherworker and lover of nature both. But what could I do? For weeks, months, I struggled, yet felt powerless against the forces of greed.
Geva 	That's when it struck me. Even if I could not stop others from copying my creations, I could at least ensure that their work was not needlessly destructive. I swore a vow that the next line of Geva toadskin bags would be made with an eye towards economy, and that the patterns used to craft these wares would enable inexperienced leatherworkers to reproduce my designs with minimal waste.
Geva 	Do you see now, [Player Name]? Artisans worthy of the Fen–Yll name do not need to rely on Geva patterns. They already respect the natural world to which we owe our livelihood.
Geva 	This is something that cannot be taught, yet it has clearly awakened within you.
Geva 	Which is why I did not hesitate to entrust you with this task─and why you can expect many more to come.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
