Journal

A certain esteemed personage would speak to you immediately, and Amh Garanjy is ready to introduce you.
- ※This quest is available for a limited time only.

Amh Garanjy informs you that none other than the Saint of Nymeia is asking after you. Though neither of you are sure why, it would appear he has specifically requested your presence in person. Seek him out and see what he would ask of you.

The Saint of Nymeia wishes you a merry Starlight, and proceeds to explain his plight. It would seem he finds himself at a loss regarding what sort of new gifts he could fashion for the children this year, and would have you join him on a stroll through the town in hopes the sights might inspire him. You resolve to show him the sights at one or more scenic locations─chosen from among Apkallu Falls, the Lancers' Guild, the Leatherworkers' Guild, the marketplace, the watermill, and the Greatloam Growery─before making your way to Nophica's Altar.
- ※You must be accompanied by the Saint of Nymeia to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.

The saint appears satisfied with the inspiration your stroll together has provided him, though he doubtless would appreciate it even more if you were to accompany him to another location or two.
- ※You must be accompanied by the Saint of Nymeia to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.

The sight of the scenic Gridanian streetscapes veiled in snow, and the vigor and vitality of its people have filled the Saint of Nymeia with renewed energy, enthusiasm, and a healthy dose of Starlight spirit. Declaring his intention to craft little snow globes for the children depicting the picturesque scenes that inspired him so, he returns to his workshop, leaving you to report back to Amh Garanjy at the amphitheatre.

Amh Garanjy welcomes you back from your excursion, and provides you with a gift left especially for you by the saint himself in appreciation for your efforts. Your task complete, you are free to enjoy the Starlight Celebration as you like for as long as the festivities continue. Should you wish to pay visit to the saint once more before season's end, he would certainly welcome your company.

Dialogue

Amh Garanjy: Is it strange that I got so attached to Rudy in such a short time? Either way, I only hope we can meet him again someday!

Amh Garanjy: Ah, but this is no time to get all sentimental! I have work to do. And remember, the Saint of Nymeia wishes to have a word with you, if you've the time to spare.

Amh Garanjy: He didn't mention exactly what he wants, but he was most insistent that you come alone. Whatever do you think it could be?

“Saintly Inspiration” accepted.

Speaking with Amh Garanjy immediately afterwards:

Amh Garanjy: I know not what it is, but the saint has something he would discuss with you. If you're not otherwise occupied, pray pay him a visit.

Saint of Nymeia: Ho ho ho! Thank you for joining me, my adventuring friend! As no doubt you know, I am the Saint of Nymeia, bringer of gifts and joy to children all across the realm! Amh Garanjy has told me all about your exploits this Starlight season, and I simply had to express my gratitude in person.

Saint of Nymeia: Truth be told, I was observing you the whole time from a distance. Why, I almost wish that I could have joined you myself, but it is my policy to stay out of the spotlight─or the starlight, as it were.

Saint of Nymeia: Besides, you and your furry friends were having such a jolly time that I couldn't bring myself to intrude. Watching Rudy help make those delightful snowball treats and grow into a confident little helper was a wonder to behold. A true Starlight miracle!

Saint of Nymeia: Which brings me to my request. I was hoping you might inspire me the same way you did young Rudy. For you see─as much as it pains me to admit this─I find myself at a loss for new gift ideas this year.

Saint of Nymeia: If you don't mind, I was hoping we might spend a little time together─just the two of us. What say you, friend?

What will you say?

> What are you getting at?

> And what would we do?

Saint of Nymeia: I just want a taste of that inspiration of yours! Yes, I'm sure some quality time with you is precisely what I need to rekindle my creative spirit.

Saint of Nymeia: Ho ho ho! No need to look so alarmed! I won't ask much of you. I would simply have you accompany me on a little stroll.

Saint of Nymeia: The decorations are most lovely, after all—why not take in the festive atmosphere together? We can amble about Old Gridania and make our way to Nophica's Altar.

Saint of Nymeia: There are a few spots in particular I'd like to take in with you along the way. Just one would be plenty if you've other places to be, though if you can spare the time, I would love to see three! And with that, let us be off. Ho ho ho!

Saint of Nymeia: Ready? Then let us enjoy ourselves a most inspiring stroll!

The Saint of Nymeia is now accompanying you. Lead him to the designated locations and speak with him there.

You may choose from among six of the saint's desired destinations: Apkallu Falls, the Lancers' Guild, the Leatherworkers' Guild, the marketplace, the watermill, and the Greatloam Growery.

Furthermore, you must stay close to your companion in order to proceed with quest objectives.

You can leave the saint behind by entering a different area, putting too much distance between you, or by speaking with him and selecting the option to part ways.

If you wish to have the saint join you again, return and speak with him at the original location.

“Saintly Inspiration” objective fulfilled!

What will you do?

> Speak with the saint.

Saint of Nymeia: What a lovely season for a stroll! I'm sure you agree, yes? There's no better way to stimulate the senses─particularly when I'm joined by an inspiring presence like yours, my friend! Ho ho ho!

> Part ways with the saint.

> Nothing.
