Hot drat, this week's Margrat tier has this patch's requisite mention of The Gridanian Goldsmith! Did we ever find a mention of him in 6.4?

Last thing I remember is the mindflayer at Zero's domain VVV EDIT: oh yeah, although I guess the reaper organization would need someone technical that wasn't necessarily a void contracted combatant. Quite the blow for your big brained engineer to go nutso and leave you with just the soldier types GloomMouse fucked around with this message at 11:03 on Oct 11, 2023 |

I think the last mention was at Lapis Manalis, with the hint he might've been a Reaper.

hexwren posted:right but why is this important It's the goldsmith that made all the voidsent wind-up minions, and after only ever being mentioned in those descriptions he's cropped up in every 6.x patch except, apparently, 6.4. He also wrote one of the books in Gubal Normal.

hexwren posted:right but why is this important The Gridanian Goldsmith started as a weird running gag through descriptions of the various wind-up demon lady minions, as a void cultist who was creating all these demon lady mammets and was eventually executed for Void Cultist Crimes, but the body disappeared. Later there are journals in the Great Gubal Library describing someone trying to summon a succubus (and accidentally getting a mind flayer instead, whom you later meet in Zero's void domain and who seems traumatized by the experience), which is hypothesized to be the same guy? Basically there are a lot of weird little bread crumbs about this creep getting up to crazy gross poo poo.

hexwren posted:right but why is this important It's a recurring reference. A couple of loose things originally; something in Haukke Manor here, a book in... was it Gubal? The patchess appear to have someone involved who really liked that bit of lore and has been expanding it. Probably for japes rather than hinting at anything. Anyway, the guy was a skilled craftsman who became obsessed with seeking perfect beauty and wound up summoning demons.

Lapis Manalis also has a journal that states the reaper's last master dollmaker left to search for "unparalleled beauty", and might also be the origin of the Goldsmith.

Yeah my assumption with the goldsmith is that he's just a void related minor lore element they brought back for the void patches, rather than building to something. I wouldn't be surprised if we get another reference or two that wraps the story of his life in .55 or 7.0 now that lapis manalis has given his arc a starting point

Is he the same one that forged the mammets for the reapers or was that someone else?

He's basically a recurring joke that grew more relevant because we've dealt with the void. That said I fear what the Wind-up Zero will eventually involve. Or the Wind-up Archfiend/Golbez.

Wind-Up Golbez will be fine; they don't make that kind of joke about dudes.

Wind-Up Golbez's description will note the creator explicitly did not put anything underneath the helmet and will muse if that is important or not.

By a funny coincidence, I happened to do the Shadowkeeper questline with Unukalhai and Cyella in Shadowbringer after I finished the 6.5 Zero questline, and it's a bit weird that you didn't talk to them when visiting Ryne during your tour, even more so than Gaias absence

To do this right you'd need to have an entirely optional cutscene for them--and to my knowledge that's already not even possible. But then you'd realistically want a lot of conditional text to the point of basically having a whole different script for Zero in the storyline afterwards, because her whole 6.5 journey is focused around figuring out that it's actually possible to pull the Thirteenth back from the brink, so you'd have to have the version we have where she's figuring that out from base principles, and a version where she knows that Cylva and Unukalhai are already doing it. ...and all of this still doesn't address the situation you're actually in, so they'd also need to ideally write a version of Cylva and Unukalhai's script that addresses the notion this might've happened in the reverse order, because for this context we're gonna need them to get up to speed anyway. I actually think it works better that it doesn't happen, because then it actually uses the disappointment around the fact that it didn't. Now it's a missed connection, nobody realized introducing them would've been a good idea until after it was too late to.

For people who really don't know: Cylva gets a whole thing in the role quest capstone for Shadowbringers, so level a tank, healer, physical DPS and magical DPS.

It feels like this is all easily solvable by making the Cylva quest a prerequisite for continuing the Zero quest, no? It's not like it would be without precedence, they did it with that Tataru quest. I had to go back and do the sky pirate questline with the void ark alliance quest. Having said that, it's not like it's the end of the world that they ignored it, just felt like a weird omission in retrospect. Will be pretty neat to see them follow up on the whole restoration of the 13th thing though

I can tell you right now the choice that would be the absolute literal death knell for the entire game, and it's 'to get into the next expansion, every single player must have at least four jobs at level 80'.
