Rich Veins of Hope

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Desiring to use your time efficiently, the Crystal Exarch suggests splitting up for the tasks to come. While he transports the earthseed to Chai-Nuzz in Amity, he asks that you see your young dwarven companion, Korutt, safely back to Tomra.
* Xamott is pleased that young Korutt was of help to you, and informs you that other dwarves have also come forward wishing to aid your cause. To that end, anticipating that you will have need of mining tools to procure the stone for the Talos, they have modified their spare pickaxes for use by bigger folk. Thus generously furnished, you set out to rejoin your comrades at Top Rung.
* You arrive at Top Rung to find Alisaie and Alphinaud returned, along with the help they promised. Yet while there is no shortage of willing hands, there is a shortage of pickaxes for them to wield. How very fortunate, then, that you should be carrying a small mountain of the mining tools with you. Equal parts pleased and incredulous, Alisaie bids you distribute them among the gathered helpers.
* As you go about doling out the pickaxes, you meet many a familiar face. Though each has walked a different path to reach this point, all are united in their desire to do their part for Norvrandt. With the last of the volunteers equipped and on their way, you turn your steps back to Alisaie.
* After thanking you for your efforts, Alisaie declares that she will take her place alongside the soldiers tasked with defending the laborers while they work. There is much and more still to be done, but in such determined company, you cannot help feeling optimistic.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Xamott.
* Speak with Alisaie.
* Deliver pickaxes to Magnus.
* Deliver pickaxes to Rhon Ron.
* Deliver pickaxes to Kai-Shirr.
* Speak with Alisaie.

Korutt 	I'm glad I could be of help! If you need any more earthseed, just let me know!
 	
Glagg 	<snore> <snore>
 	
Mysteryvoice 	Well, my friend, much as I have enjoyed our time together, I think it best we split up, that we might accomplish our tasks more swiftly.
Mysteryvoice 	I shall see the earthseed safely into the hands of Chai-Nuzz.
Mysteryvoice 	While I am thus employed, would you be so good as to deliver Korutt back to Tomra?
Mysteryvoice 	My thanks, [Player Name]. Brief though it was, 'twas an honor to go adventuring with you. I shall see you back in Amity.
 	
Mysteryvoice 	Leave the earthseed to me, my friend, and see Korutt safely back to Tomra. While you are there, a word of thanks to Chief Xamott would not go astray.
 	
Korutt 	Phew! Not a single brush with death! Thanks for coming back with me!
 	
Xamott 	Lali-ho! Glad you're back, and in one piece! How did you fare with the earthseed, then?
Korutt 	I got them all they needed! The Exarch's on his way to Amity with it now!
Xamott 	Good to hear that young Korutt was of help. As it happens, a few others came forward while you were gone sayin' they wanted to do their bit as well.
Xamott 	Given that you're buildin' a Talos, we reckoned you'd be needin' some minin' tools. So we went and modified our spare pickaxes for use by bigger folk.
Xamott 	Here, take these with you. Should be plenty to go 'round.
Xamott 	From what our scouts tell me, there's a crowd gathered at Top Rung already. Go and see that everyone has a pickaxe to swing, eh?
 	
Xamott 	We did the folk of Amity a kind turn in case we needed a kind turn ourselves one day. Can't say as I expected things to pan out like they have, but I don't regret makin' friends!
 	
Korutt 	This is just the start! I'm going to go and see what else I can do!
 	
Alphinaud 	Ah, [Player Name], you are come at a good time.
 	
Kaishirr 	Alphinaud came and rounded all of us up. It's funny, I used to be afraid of Eulmorans, and yet here we all are...
 	
Employee03287 	No few free citizens wanted to help, but years of leisure meant that most were in no condition to contribute. Instead, they send their fervent hopes for our success.
 	
Irvithe 	As if restoring the Ladder weren't enough of a task, you're trying to build a giant Talos! I love it!
 	
Grithil 	Did you doubt that we'd be back for more? We've got motivation to spare!
 	
Magnus 	There I was thinking you lot had come up with the stupidest plan known to man, when I find out you've managed to drag old Chai-Nuzz into it. Once the job's done, I'll have to go and give the lazy sod a good heckling.
 	
Thaffe 	[Player Name], good to see you again! How have you been keeping?
 	
Jeryk 	A-A giant Talos? Can such a thing be done...? Oh, be still my beating heart!
 	
Rhon Ron 	Worms! Get your worms! They're the best you'll taste this side of the Bright Cliff! Live and juicy or cured and crunchy, there is something for everyone!
 	
Journeysheadnurse	Alisaie came looking for willing workers...so here I am!
 	
Alisaie 	Look, [Player Name]! People from all over have come to help us quarry stone!
Alisaie 	And this isn't even all of them. As we speak, the volunteers Thancred and Ryne recruited are being escorted to the work site─and by both Crystarium and Eulmoran soldiers, no less.
Alisaie 	So as you can see, we have plenty of hands. There's just one problem─we don't have enough tools to put in them. We've been desperately trying to round up more, but we haven't had much luck so far.
Alisaie 	Pickaxes from the dwarves!? Trust you to have exactly what we need, exactly when we need it!
Alisaie 	Well, what are you waiting for? Go and hand them out to everyone so they can get to work!
 	
Alisaie 	Honestly, [Player Name], you can already slay gods. You could at least have left the uncanny sense of timing for one of us. It's greedy is what it is.
 	
Kaishirr 	We're ready to do our bit, [Player Name]! We just, er...need tools to do it with.
Kaishirr 	Pickaxes! Loads of 'em!
Employee03287 	Now we may all work to our hearts' content!
Employee03287 	While I don't have many talents, I do have a strong back. And what strength I have, I'll gladly use for the sake of peace.
Irvithe 	We got the Ladder moving again, didn't we? If we join hands, there's no Talos we can't build!
Kaishirr 	I still haven't repaid you and Alphinaud for saving me, and I'm not sure I ever could.
Kaishirr 	But that ain't going to stop me trying! I'm with you to the end!
Kaishirr 	Come on, you lot! Look lively!
Magnus 	We've come, [Player Name]. In case you're wondering, Guthjon is here too.
Magnus 	Couldn't wait to start breaking rocks, though, so he's gone on ahead. Bah, he could've at least left us a spare set of tools...
Magnus 	Ah, wonderful! Now we can be about it too!
Magnus 	Quarrying isn't exactly my stock-in-trade, but this time...this time I feel as though my wife will be with me, guiding my hand...
Magnus 	So let's make it happen. Let's build a world where everyone can live without fear. Where everyone has a place they can go home to.
Magnus 	Right, then, let's be on our way.
...Hm? What are you still doing here, Thaffe? I thought you'd brought your own tools.
Thaffe 	I did. And I was just about to head off, when I saw Jeryk...
Jeryk 	Oh gods, oh gods... If this plan works and the giant Talos comes to life...
Jeryk 	Just imagine the size of the trolley it could push! Imagine it!
Thaffe 	<sigh> Are you still raving on about that? How many times do I have to tell you, that's not what the Talos is for! Where the hells would the tracks even go?
Jeryk 	There's bound to be somewhere! You just need a little imagination! Seeing as the Stoneworks is involved, maybe we could have a trolley added to the design...
Magnus 	Enough! We're going to work! And if I hear any more about trolleys from you, I'll have you pushing one yourself!
Rhon Ron 	Long time no see, traveler! Are you waiting to be issued a pickaxe too?
Rhon Ron 	Oho, you clearly weren't, and now neither are we! Rest assured, we will put these to good use and work very, very hard!
Rhon Ron 	Of course, one cannot work on an empty stomach─which is why I brought some tasty worms to share!
Journeysheadnurse	Er, as much as we would all enjoy a treat, perhaps the worms are best saved for...afterwards?
Journeysheadnurse	Greetings, [Player Name]. You may not remember me, but I'm one of the carers from the Inn at Journey's Head.
Journeysheadnurse	After night returned to Amh Araeng, we noticed a change in our patients. The transformation had halted in every one of them.
Journeysheadnurse	I can't express what it did to the mood of the place. We were still celebrating, days later, when who should come along but Alisaie. She said that she sought the aid of those who believed in the Warrior of Darkness.
Journeysheadnurse	We all answered her call right there and then. Of course, some few carers had to remain behind, but as many of us came as could be spared.
Rhon Ron 	I too have great respect for the Warrior of Darkness! When we meet, I'll be sure to treat them to a nice, plump worm!
 	
Alphinaud 	Everything appears to be in order here. In all my time in this world, I do not recall seeing so many optimistic faces.
 	
Alisaie 	My thanks, [Player Name]. With that, everyone is now equipped to work.
Alisaie 	I think I'll go and join the soldiers standing guard over the volunteers. It would be a shame if they fell prey to sin eaters after all the trouble we've gone to.
Alisaie 	Right! Let us see that this plan is a resounding success─for the sake of all in Norvrandt!
