The Base Fundamentals

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Granae, a novice armorer, has fallen behind in her task of forging bronze plate. To supplement Granae's work, Forgemaster H'naanza has requested that you craft twelve sheets of bronze plate and deliver them directly to the novice, hoping that your good example might inspire her to display similar diligence.
* You have delivered the bronze plate to Granae. Her head swimming with visions of the fantastic armor she would forge, it seems the novice deemed her more mundane─though equally important─tasks unworthy of her time and effort. The sight of your exacting work, however, has convinced her otherwise. After promising to improve on her fundamental techniques, Granae suggests that you seek out T'mokkri at the Drowning Wench and try your hand at a few tradecraft leves.
※The next armorer quest will be available from H'naanza upon reaching level 15.
==Objectives==
* Deliver sheets of bronze plate to Granae.

Hnaanza 	Ah, [Player Name]. Just the lass/lad I was hoping to see.
Hnaanza 	I have a new initiate that has near exhausted my reserves of patience, and I think she would benefit from seeing the results of a peer's dedication and skill─specifically, yours.
Hnaanza 	Her name is Granae, and, Builder help me, she is the most distracted, fumble-fingered craftswoman ever to lift a hammer.
Hnaanza 	If she could but learn to forge the simplest of items without constant supervision, I would consider it a rare victory.
Hnaanza 	<sigh> It is unfortunate that Byregot did not see fit to invest all of my armorers with your innate talents...
Hnaanza 	But I suppose we must all start somewhere─and if I abandoned every initiate that was slow to grasp a technique, our guild would have a grand total of, what, nine members? Mayhap ten. I jest...but 'twould be few enough for our clients in the Maelstrom to have to share breastplates.
Hnaanza 	So what say you, [Player Name]? You need only craft a dozen sheets of bronze plate to supplement Granae's own.
Hnaanza 	When they are ready, I want you to deliver them to the lass in person. Mayhap your example will inspire her to take more care with her work.
 	
Granae 	Oh, you must be [Player Name]! The guildmaster told me you'd be─ Wait, where did I put my hammer? Ah, there it is! Sorry, what were you saying? Right, yes─I would be most grateful for the extra sheets of bronze plate.
Granae 	Gods...did you craft these yourself? Why, they are absolutely─ Whoa! Nearly dropped them! No harm done, though!
Granae 	As I was saying, I can certainly see why the forgemaster speaks so highly of your work.
Granae 	The bronze is the perfect color and thickness, so I assume you carefully measured out the amounts of tin and copper...? I always add too much tin. Did you know metal can shatter?
Granae 	Well, I didn't. Truth be told, I've tended to put all my effort into making the armor itself, rather than bothering with the base materials. I mean, compared to hammering out glorious winged helms or ornate greaves, measuring out metals just seemed so...trivial.
Granae 	But looking at your work, I'm beginning to wonder... I never realized how beautiful a simple sheet of bronze could be...
Granae 	With materials like this, just imagine the sturdy, shiny suits of armor one might create!
Granae 	It seems I've been putting the cart before the chocobo. From this moment onwards, I swear to focus all my attention and care on the task at hand. Even if the task at hand is forging bronze ingots.
Granae 	And what of you, [Player Name]? Do you have any grand projects waiting for you on the anvil?
Granae 	I overheard some of the senior armorers boasting about the coin they made through tradecraft leves. Might that be something you'd consider?
Granae 	They say T'mokkri over at the Drowning Wench is the one to talk to. And that's where I'll be heading once I improve my technique! Now where did I put that hammer...?
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
