- Speak with Tataru.
Journal
- Hoping to rally support for Ishgard, Minfilia has once more dispatched your comrades to every corner of the realm. The tasks she has in mind for you, however, will keep you close to Revenant's Toll. In addition to recruiting volunteers from among the adventuring population, the Antecedent wishes you to consult with Slafborn regarding the town's state of readiness. Speak first with Tataru, and invite the receptionist to join you and the Adventurers' Guild representative in discussing the troubles that might spill over the border from the conflict in Coerthas.
- You explain Minfilia's request to Tataru, who immediately begins to plan for every possible eventuality. Follow in the enterprising young receptionist's wake, and join her in consulting with Slafborn.
- Though Slafborn readily acknowledges the importance of elevating the Toll's state of readiness, he is unwilling to make any formal commitment to assist in the coming conflict. Consult with Tataru regarding the possibility of approaching adventurers directly.
- Tataru seems more than happy to recruit volunteers face-to-face. Speak with the adventurers in Revenant's Toll and attempt to rally them to Ishgard's cause.
- You have approached a number of adventurers, and been greeted with responses ranging from cautious interest to barely concealed hostility. After being rebuffed by a particularly reluctant Roegadyn, you are suddenly pulled aside by Riol, who proceeds to explain the suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Wilred, the youth from Little Ala Mhigo. With battle looming on the horizon, however, there is little time for you to delve into this latest mystery. Return to Tataru and inform her of the results of your recruiting efforts.
- You compare notes with Tataru, and are pleased to find that her recruitment efforts have met with similar results. Should those who expressed an interest be true to their word, the forces of Ishgard will soon be bolstered by a small-but-experienced contingent of adventurers...

Speaking with Slafborn in Revenant's Toll
Slafborn: I appreciate the warning. If war is coming to Coerthas, then the Toll must be made ready. Slafborn: I'll increase the number of patrols and lookouts immediately. I'll also see about finding room for an infirmary, as well as temporary housing for victims of the conflict. Ishgard has done well by us in the past and I would return the favor.

Tataru: Attention, adventurers! Ishgard is in peril and has need of heroes! If you've ever dreamed of battling a Dravanian, then now is your chance!
Recruiting adventurers in Revenant's Toll
If ye know of any payin' work, lass, I'm all ears. Us adventurers should look out for each other, eh?
Ah, the freedom to roam where I will... Would that I had quit the stifling confines of my homeland sooner...
Revenant's Toll continues to grow, as does the number of travelers who pass through its gates. Between you and me, I'm having a hard time keeping an eye on them all.
Adventuring is, by its nature, an unpredictable business. With planning and preparation, you can mitigate some of the risks...but if you don't trust your instincts, you won't last long.
Austere Adventurer: Sell me blade to the Ishgardians? Well...them dragons are a fearsome lot, but I'd slay me fair share if the coin was good. Austere Adventurer: I've worked for one o' them knights before, ye know. Watched me like a bloody hawk, he did. Still, I'd put up with worse than that for a heavy purse.
Angular Adventurer: Volunteer my services in the defense of Ishgard? I think not. Angular Adventurer: Dragons claimed the lives of every one of my brothers─I do not mean to offer them mine. 'Twas to escape such a fate that I took up the mantle of adventurer in the first place. I would sooner die in the pursuit of fortune than huddled behind an icy wall.
Adventurous Frontier Hand: So Ishgard seeks sellswords to bolster its ranks, eh? Though I'm not sure I like the sound of this siege, those nobles will surely be generous with their rewards... Adventurous Frontier Hand: Ah, but I have pledged myself to guard Revenant's Toll. Modest work though it is, I am loath to break the terms of my contract. What to do, what to do...
Cutscene
Accomplished Adventurer: Spare me your talk of glory and fame─I'm not in the habit of volunteering for lost causes. Accomplished Adventurer: I've survived this long by trusting my instincts, and my instincts tell me to stay well away from Ishgard.
Riol: Ishgard sounds like she's in a right mess...but that ain't what I wanted to talk to ye about. Riol: I need ye to cast yer mind back to that scuffle with the Empire out by the processin' plant. A lad from Little Ala Mhigo by the name o' Wilred was there with the 4th that day, an' I want to know if ye've seen him since. Have ye? Riol: Godsdammit, I feared as much... No one's bloody seen him. It's like the ground opened up an' swallowed him whole. Riol: But that ain't all. Around the time Wilred stopped turnin' up for duty, them black market weapons went missin' from our vault in Ul'dah...

Riol: Now, compared to most others in this crew, Wilred's a fresh-faced novice─a bleedin' whelp amongst wolves. Riol: But the boy's got passion. When he talked about bein' a guardian of Eorzea, he bloody well meant it. A lad like him wouldn't rob us blind an' bugger off like that. He ain't the type. Riol: An' then─an' this is just between you an' me, mind─there's the fact that the lad wanted to tell me about somethin' queer he'd noticed in the ledgers. Somethin' about the Braves' numbers not addin' up... Riol: Aye, there's a villain at the end o' this trail I've stumbled on, an' I'll bet me good eye it ain't young Wilred. Riol: Anyroad, ye've got a war to wage, so I'll let ye get on. I just thought someone should know... I'll be seein' ye, [Forename].
Speaking with Tataru
Tataru: There you are, [Forename]! So? Did you sway any hearts? Tataru: One or two, eh? Well, added to mine, that makes three or four, not including Slafborn's friends! We won't have the largest company in the army, but I'd say one Revenant's Toll veteran is worth a dozen clanking knights at least!
