The Will to Resist

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Eager to further strengthen your Resistance weapon, you consult Zlatan, who suggests you find another assortment of memories. Zlatan warns you, however, that the weapon will require much more potent memories if you expect to see any notable improvements. He then sends you on your way, certain the threat of imminent death will not deter you from seeing the job done.
※Bitter memories can be obtained in the field fighting at the southern front, by clearing any level 60 dungeon, or completing Duty Roulette: Leveling. The Undersized Party option cannot be enabled when clearing the aforementioned dungeons.
* You return to Gangos to find Gerolt surprisingly sober and ready to work. With his customary flourish and flair, Gerolt readies his forge, and before long you are the proud owner of a powerful new Resistance weapon. There is no time to celebrate, however, as an employee of Rowena soon arrives offering a means to pay for Gerolt's previous dealings with the House of Splendors. Matters of money aside, Zlatan prays for your continued success in the fight against the Empire.
==Objectives==
* Obtain bitter memories/With and ///////////////// in your inventory, deliver the bitter memories to Zlatan at Gangos.

Zlatan 	Come to further strengthen your weapon, I see. Then we shall have need of more memories.
Zlatan 	Of course, if we wish to see any significant improvement, they will need to come from much fiercer battles.
Zlatan 	But where to find them? I have no doubt the fighting on the southern front has grown more perilous, but what more is there to do? Journey in search of some dark, dreary dungeon teeming with unspeakable horrors?
Zlatan 	Well... I suppose you have already come this far. Surely you understand your limits better than I. If you can procure six crystals of these grizzly, bitter memories, I believe that should suffice.
 	
Zlatan 	Eager to refine another of your weapons, I take it? Then you know what must be done.
Zlatan 	Another six of your grizzliest bitter memories from the southern front or perhaps some other perilous place you may recall from your adventures.
 	
Zlatan 	I can only imagine what horrors you will face to acquire the memories we need, but I wish you luck. Stay safe out there, Blade [Player Name].
 	
Zlatan 	I take it your search for memories went well? If you are ready to begin, I would ask you unequip your weapon.
 	
Zlatan 	Lest you worry, I've kept my eye on Master Gerolt, and made sure he saw to preparations. I trust you have everything we need?
 	
Zlatan 	Excellent! And the weapon, please.
Zlatan 	All right, I pray Master Gerolt is ready to get to work.
 	
Gerolt 	[Player Name]! Your timin' couldn't be better! I've just <hic> sobered up!
Zlatan 	Hiding ale again!? But where could you have... <sigh> Never mind. Might we set to work, please?
 	
Gerolt 	Ye ever see anythin' so beautiful? The spirit of battle made manifest, !
Gerolt 	Ain't she a beaut? The spirit of battle made manifest, !
Gerolt 	'Course, we can't forget her dazzlin' companion, !
 	
Gerolt 	Now if you'll excuse me, there's a mug of ale around here somewhere with me name on it.
Regana 	Slack-jawed, bald pate, and a thirst for spirits. I presume you are Gerolt, the famed blacksmith and squanderer of fortune?
Gerolt 	Who in the bloody hell are you? And what've me money problems to do with anythin'?
Gerolt 	Don't look like yer part o' the Resistance.
Regana 	My name is Regana, and I am here on behalf of my employer, Rowena. I believe she spoke with you before of a means to alleviate the financial burden of the Resistance?
Regana 	Come now, don't tell me you've forgotten already. Or did you believe she intended to supply you with that memory cloth free of charge?
Regana 	Rowena wishes to compile records of the various techniques used to reproduce the blades of Gunnhildr. Everything from the materials required down to the inscriptions granting them their power, she would have cataloged for our research.
Regana 	With these documents in hand, we would then fashion duplicates of any weapons you have made thus far, in addition to any forged henceforth.
Zlatan 	The Resistance weapons are incredibly valuable, and key to the Resistance's victory in the war against the Empire. Bajsaljen would never allow it.
Regana 	Then I will collect the gil owed for Rowena's cloth, if that is your wont.
Regana 	If it puts your mind at ease, the duplicates are meant to resemble the originals in appearance only. We have no need to recreate the intricacies of the inscriptions or their aetherial properties.
Gerolt 	I can't imagine the Resistance would be too happy about─
Zlatan 	We will accept their offer. This may be the only way for us to keep Gunnhildr's Blades and our friend here armed to combat the Empire.
Regana 	A wise choice. Though it's not as if you could refuse, Gerolt. Of course, you'd know that if you'd actually read your contract.
Zlatan 	And to be clear, these replicas are strictly for purposes of research, yes? They will not be auctioned off to the lords and ladies of the realm for profit?
Regana 	You have our word we will not misuse the knowledge gained from this venture, and I will remain here in Gangos should you need to consult me regarding my work.
Regana 	Ah, one last thing. If [Player Name] should have need of these replicas for any reason, I have been instructed to oblige as necessary. Now, if you will excuse me.
Zlatan 	I...don't believe she answered my question.
Gerolt 	Well, whatever she's schemin', at least we won't see the worst of it till after we're done. Otherwise, I have a feelin' me work'd be tarnished with me own memories o' battle with gil-pinchin' harridans.
 	
Gerolt 	I think we're done here. Now, where did I put that flagon of ale?
Gerolt 	Now that I think about it... Hidin' me drinks is gonna be tricky, what with Zlatan and Regana both breathin' down me neck.
Zlatan 	Honestly, would it kill you to wait until after your obligations to Rowena are fulfilled to drink? If I catch you drinking around the forge again, it will be for the last time.
Zlatan 	Until next time, [Player Name]. Rest assured we will keep eyes on him for as long as it takes to keep work proceeding apace.
