Hammer Time (quest)

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Satisfied with your recent progress, Brithael has tasked you with crafting three bronze cross-pein hammers. He has also suggested a number of ways to acquire materials, such as mining and hunting. Craft three bronze cross-pein hammers and present them to the forgemaster.
* Your hammers have met with Brithael's approval, and he rewards your efforts with an amateur's file, which should prove most useful in the days to come. He urges you to familiarize yourself with the tool, and return once you have gained more experience.
※The next blacksmith quest will be available from Brithael upon reaching level 10.
==Objectives==
* Deliver bronze cross-pein hammers to Brithael.

Brithael 	Praise the Builder, I was afraid ye might've joined up with another crew! The thought of it pained me so much, I was down at the Wench till the mornin' bells, I was.
Brithael 	But here you are, still brimmin' with potential─an' with some extra meat on yer smittin' arm, if me eyes don't deceive me!
Brithael 	So, errr...somethin' new, somethin' new... O' course, how could I forget? [Player Name], I bid ye craft three bronze cross-pein hammers─jus' like the ones all our apprentice smitties use.
Brithael 	Fer this ye'll need bronze, maple lumber, an' hempen cloth. Now, I know makin' the bronze won't pose ye no trouble, but allow me to offer ye a bit of advice regardin' the materials.
Brithael 	If ye want to save yerself some coin, ye might consider minin' yer own copper an' tin out in the wilds.
Brithael 	An' if that don't tickle yer fancy, ye might consider whackin' the odd coblyn till it stops movin'. They lug ore 'round with 'em, see. An' it ain't as if swingin' a sword's all that different from poundin' a lump o' metal into shape, is it?
Brithael 	At the end o' the day, though, how ye go about gettin' the bits an' pieces don't matter to me. I jus' want to see if ye can make a decent hammer. Do what needs doin' an' come back when it's done.
 	
Brithael 	Where are them hammers I asked for, lass/lad?
Brithael 	Heh heh...seems last time weren't no fluke. This here's some impressive work, lass/lad.
Brithael 	Now, a layman might look at this an' think ye'd jus' stuck a piece o' bronze on a maple stick, but ye've done a damn sight more than that─whether ye know it or not.
Brithael 	A hammer's a tool, after all, an' the head's got to grip the shaft fer tens o' thousands o' strikes.
Brithael 	What's more, when a smitty's poundin' a red-hot piece o' metal, her/his hammer takes up some o' the heat an' swells a touch. Which ain't a problem─unless it's a poorly made piece o' shite.
Brithael 	Take it from me, lass/lad─there's few things more embarrassin' than flingin' a glowin' hammerhead over yer shoulder, straight into the eye o' yer newest apprentice...even if he did eventually get his sight back.
Brithael 	But I reckon your hammers won't lead to any incidents like that!
Brithael 	In short, I'm happy with what ye've done. Now, I'll spare us both the “don't rest on yer laurels” speech if it's all the same to you. Statin' the bleedin' obvious is best done with a drink in yer hand, I find.
Brithael 	But well done, anyroad.
Brithael 	Here, ye'll be needin' this.
Brithael 	A hammer'll suffice fer simple smithin', but complex jobs call fer a more delicate touch─which is what a file gives ye. Usin' one alongside yer hammer'll make yer life a good deal easier, whatever yer craftin'.
Brithael 	Try smithin' somethin' simple─I guarantee ye'll see the difference. An' when ye've done that, do it again. I want ye to practice till ye can wield that file as well as yer hammer! Once ye've got the hang of it, come back here fer another task!
