Jemime 	Good evening/morrow/day/evening to you, adventurer, and welcome to the Goldsmiths' Guild. Have you come to observe our artisans at work?
Jemime 	Indeed, it is a marvel to watch goldsmiths transform raw metals and uncut gemstones into sparkling rings, earrings, and necklaces─some of which possess magical properties, no less!
Jemime 	You know, if you'd like to try your hand at goldsmithing, the guild is open to adventurers like yourself. No prior experience is required, for we teach all you need to know about the craft. Would you be interested?
 	
Jemime 	Forgive me, it seems I've misunderstood your intent. Forget I said anything.
 	
Jemime 	Oh dear, this part is always so awkward. I would love nothing more than to welcome you into the guild, but you are still somewhat rough, and in need of further refinement.
Jemime 	That is to say, you are yet lacking in worldly experience. But I do not doubt that it won't be long before you are ready to take up the chaser hammer.
 	
Jemime 	It pleases me greatly to hear you say so. As the first step, I would have you understand the purpose of our guild.
Jemime 	The vast mineral resources of Thanalan have given rise to a grand goldsmithing tradition, which has been refined through the ages. Our techniques are renowned across the realm, our creations held in the highest regard.
Jemime 	However, we of Eshtaime's Lapidaries, the premier source for Ul'dahn jewelry, were not content to rest on our laurels.
Jemime 	Seeking to advance our craft, we turned our eyes to the East, the only place in the known world whose goldsmithing was said to rival our own.
Jemime 	We built the finest facilities to beckon their masters hither, and blended their foreign techniques with ours. Our guild quickly became the center of Eorzean goldsmithing.
Jemime 	Aye, here you shall benefit from the refined wisdom of countless veteran craftsmen. You will learn to see the potential in your materials and shape them to your will.
Jemime 	These are essential skills, for a goldsmith must hone his eyes to identify and appraise all manner of materials, and─when needs be─recognize imitations for what they are.
Jemime 	It is even said that a master goldsmith can ascertain the authenticity of a man himself.
Jemime 	You may one day come to possess such vision. But even the most magnificent jewel begins life as a rough-hewn stone. It must first be cut and polished before it can delight the eyes with its brilliance.
Jemime 	If you would become a goldsmith, you must needs refine yourself as you would a gemstone. It will take much time and effort, and there is no guarantee of success.
Jemime 	Should you be certain that this is the life you seek, speak to me once more.
