Hidden
Easter egg 'You're a Twelvesend!' is Beneger's twist on 'godsend', a word for something sent by God. Eorzeans swear by the Twelve, so God becomes the Twelve.
Easter egg One passerby starts with 'No, I don't have a moment to talk about', taking you for a preacher. A joke on the 'Do you have a moment to talk about...' opening of door-to-door preachers.
In-game text The hiring notice asks for skilled carpenters and ends with 'Workers must bring own tools', a small catch Beneger never says out loud.

Accepting the quest

Beneger

How in the hells can you be wandering about without aught to do? There's opportunity here at the Golden Bazaar as there hasn't been in years!

I speak of the massive mythril deposit, of course. The miners I fed before are only the beginning. More and more of them will flock here in the coming week, mark my words.

Until now, we've been nothing more than a small settlement. But now the sky's the limit! An inn for the mythril miners to come to would be worth a fortune─mark my words!

And I mean for that fortune to be mine. The problem I've had is that I need bodies to help me build the inn, but I can't seem to find any who are willing.

  • FR J'ai besoin de réunir des ouvriers pour lancer le chantier le plus tôt possible. ‘I need to gather workers to start the building work as soon as possible.’ English says he can't find willing workers; French says he needs workers to start building as soon as possible.
  • DE Ich will hier so schnell wie möglich ein Gasthaus bauen, aber das muss natürlich alles gut geplant sein. ‘I want to build an inn here as quickly as possible, but of course it all has to be well planned.’ English says his problem is finding willing workers; German says the inn must be well planned.

I've drawn up these hiring notices, hoping that they might help. Would you mind helping to get me started by posting five of them up in prime locations?

Speak with Beneger.

Beneger

You've posted all five? You're a Twelvesend! But...I truly don't want to let this chance pass by.

Here, take five more hiring notices, and see them straight to the hands of whatever folk you see loitering about.

Distribute hiring notices.

Ugggh, I'm bored out of my gourd. Is there no work to be had in this godsforsaken place?

Beneger is looking for able bodies, is he? I've done some woodworking in my day. Might be as he'll have some use for me.

I've done some woodworking in my day. Might be as Beneger'll have some use for me.

  • DE Zimmerer zu sein war schon immer mein Traum. ‘Being a carpenter has always been my dream.’ English says he has done some woodworking; German says being a carpenter was always his dream.

What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?

Beneger needs work done, does he? Seen more miners in the Bazaar of late. I reckon that's got something to do with it.

Rumor has it there's mythril in the ground 'round here. Wonder if there's any truth to it.

Beneger needs work done, does he? I reckon it has something to do with all the miners I've seen in the Bazaar of late.

What's this now? Ugh, letters. Never learned them. Can't you just read it to me?

Beneger is building a new inn? No doubt to accommodate all the new people coming to the Bazaar in recent days.

  • DE Das Dorf wird bestimmt bald zur Stadt, wenn noch mehr Gäste kommen, denkst du nicht auch? ‘The village will surely soon become a town if even more guests come, don't you think?’ English says the inn will house the newcomers; German predicts the village will soon become a town.

Taking advantage of the new foot traffic is a right fine idea. Hm? Oh, I have no intention of helping Beneger, of course. But perhaps there's even greater profit to be had in stocking up the food stores...

Beneger's idea is a good one...but there's like to be more profit in the stocking up of food stores.

  • DE Ich muss meine Reserven aufstocken, bald habe ich vor lauter Kundschaft keine Zeit mehr zum Einkaufen. ‘I have to stock up my reserves, soon I'll have no time left for shopping with all the customers.’ English stocks up for more profit; German stocks up because the customers will leave no time to shop.

No, I don't have a moment to talk about Tha─ Wait, what's this, then?

  • FR Désolé, ça ne m'intéresse p... ‘Sorry, I'm not interest...’ English cuts off refusing "a moment to talk about Tha─"; French cuts off a plain "not interested".

Hiring hands to build a new inn? Well, that's bloody welcome news.

I came here after hearing there might be mythril in these parts, but the inn's all full and I've been living out of a tent. Suppose I could lend a hand building inns till I start digging mines.

Suppose I could lend a hand building inns till I start digging mines.

You have work?

Carpenters? Thank the gods! I was afraid there'd be naught but mining jobs here. It's my vocation, to be sure, but a man needs some variety now and then! I'll go have myself a word with this Beneger fellow.

  • FR On dirait que tous les mineurs d'Éorzéa se sont donné le mot pour venir dans ce hameau... ‘It looks like all the miners of Eorzea have passed the word to come to this hamlet...’ English says he feared only mining jobs here; French says all of Eorzea's miners seem to flock here.

I'll go have myself a word with this Beneger fellow.

Report to Beneger.

Beneger

Well done, [name]! Thanks to you, I've a feeling I'll have the hands I need to see my inn built.

I was in a dark place after my brother died, but now I'm going to breathe life back into this Bazaar!
