Geva: How are your techniques coming along? If you honestly think you've improved, then I have a new task for you.
Geva: But before that, let me ask: you ''are'' familiar with the Fen-Yll brand, are you not?
* Yes
Geva: But of course, how silly of me. Even an adventurer hailing from distant lands should know the most famous brand of leather goods in Eorzea.
* No

Geva: Anyway, all goods sold under the distinguished Fen-Yll name are crafted by none other than our leatherworkers.
Geva: We've been asked to fill an especially large order on short notice, and so our stores of hard leather are nearly depleted.
Geva: I was considering how best to handle this situation when you arrived.
Geva: I'm sure you see where this is going.
Geva: We need a dozen circles of hard leather, as fast as you can make them. Quickly now, go!
===Delivering the leather===
Geva: Please tell me you've brought the hard leather.

Geva: Well, well...
Geva: These are better than I expected!
Geva: It is more difficult to boil leather than to tan it, but the process results in a stronger, more durable product.
Geva: These properties make hard leather the material of choice for those who prefer stouter armor.
Geva: The fruits of your labor shall serve the guild well...
Geva: ...as training materials for new initiates.
Geva: Hm? You seem troubled. Surely you did not imagine that your leather would be used in the construction of Fen-Yll goods?
Geva: Hah hah hah! Oh, ''gods'', no! Only our elite leatherworkers, handpicked by me, are permitted to make wares that bear the Fen-Yll name.
Geva: While we had enough hard leather to complete the Fen-Yll commission, some of the materials used—despite being of excellent quality—were originally intended to be distributed as practice materials. As such, The initiates' supplies ran dangerously low.
Geva: Come now, there is no call to be disheartened. Do you not see that in furnishing the beginners with supplies, you have proven that you are no longer a beginner? You have given them that which they could not make themselves!
Geva: When you first arrived, I would never have entrusted you with such a task. Make no mistake, you ''are'' improving.
Geva: Why, at this rate, my great-great-grandchildren may yet commission you to make a shoe sole—or even two!
Geva: Speaking of commissions, I think you've proven yourself sufficiently skilled to handle orders without my supervision.
Geva: Go and see Gontrant in the Carline Canopy if you're interested in taking on a few guildleves. You would gain much-needed experience, and earn yourself some coin besides.
Geva: But enough chatter. Come and see me again when you have further refined your technique. Oh, and if you make it during my lifetime, I daresay you'll find me in a more talkative mood.
