Charmion prepares to launch into another lecture on life on Anagnorisis.

Quest description

Familiar Food is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.

Journal

• Charmion begins explaining how the observers of Anagnorisis approach rest and recuperation, when she realizes that she hasn't inquired about your nutritional requirements. The suddenly panicked ancient sets her lecture aside, sending you west of the Mourning Dew to gather a handful of Archestratus flowers while she rushes off to make urgent culinary preparations.

※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.

• You have collected the requested Archestratus flowers. Convey the bouquet to Overseer Sokles as instructed.
• You deliver the blooms to Overseer Sokles, who combines them with Charmion's handpicked fruits to create a tasty looking juice medley. He hands you the aether-rich beverage, and urges you to drink it on the spot.
• You drink down the proffered juice, marveling at the complexity of its fruity and floral flavors. Charmion hovers nearby, obviously in need of reassurance that you won't suddenly fade into nothingness...
• Satisfied that your corporeal form is no longer in danger of imminent dissipation, Charmion continues her lecture on the importance of proper nourishment and the evils of overindulgence. It seems your educational exchange with the passionate observers of Anagnorisis is set to continue...

Objectives

• Gather Archestratus flowers.
• Deliver Archestratus flowers to Sokles.
• Drink the Anagnorisis juice medley in front of Sokles.
• Speak with Charmion.

Script

Familiar Food script
The Mourning Dew in Elpis, The World Unsundered
Charmion	Are you well rested, [Player Name]? One cannot perform at one's best without allowing the mind and the body time to recuperate.
Charmion	Here on Anagnorisis, we often encourage one another to nap, or partake of some of the fruits we grow.
Charmion	We could conjure such treats into existence, of course, but there is something oddly gratifying about plucking ripened fruit fresh from the tree...
Charmion	...Oh, how remiss of me! How exactly do you sustain yourself? Is Azem supplying you with aether?
Charmion	No? But you'll fade away without the proper nourishment! The tour can wait─we must feed you immediately!
Charmion	Would you mind picking some of the white blooms to the west of here and bringing them to Overseer Sokles? “Archestratus flowers,” we call them. I'll have everything else ready by the time you arrive!
Anagnorisis in Elpis, The World Unsundered
Sokles	Charmion explained to me the “crisis” at hand. We cannot let you wither for lack of aether now, can we?
Charmion	Archestratus flowers are an edible bloom, you see. Hand them to Overseer Sokles, and he'll mix them with the fruits I gathered to make a delicious juice!
Sokles	Charmion explained to me the “crisis” at hand. Have you brought the flowers?
Sokles	Yes, yes, these are the ones we need. I'll add them to the fruits from Charmion's basket, and we'll soon have an aether-replenishing beverage for you to enjoy.
Sokles	'Tis the work of but a moment...
Sokles	And here we are─freshly squeezed Anagnorisis juice medley!
Sokles	Go on, then, drink up. I am curious to hear what you think of it.
Sokles	Please, have as much as you like. No need to be shy!
Charmion	Are you sure you're feeling all right? No sensations of gradual corporeal dissipation or the like?
System	Sokles wants you to drink the juice in his presence, so he can properly gauge your reaction...
System	You drink the juice, noting the complexities of the floral and fruity flavors...
Sokles	Ah, good─it seems you're able to tolerate liquid sustenance. You didn't appear to be suffering from any loss of material form, but a familiar must have a regular infusion of aetherial energy.
Sokles	And now that we know you won't suddenly vanish, will you please reassure Charmion? She still looks terribly concerned.
Sokles	If you would be so kind as to put Charmion's fears to rest?
Charmion	I am so glad you were able to replenish your stores of aether! Overseer Sokles certainly is a wonder when it comes to food preparation.
Charmion	Still, I firmly believe that the consumption of food should be limited to restoring one's strength. Any reason beyond that is simply wasteful.
Charmion	Eating for enjoyment alone is an unnecessary drain on living resources, and such a practice can only be harmful to our star's equilibrium.
Charmion	Which is why I have so much respect for Overseer Sokles and his culinary talent─he employs ingredients and methods which not only optimize a dish's aetherial concentration, but also produce flavorful results.
Sokles	Save your compliments, Charmion. I won't be flattered into making another batch until it's time for our next meal.
Charmion	W-Well, of course not! And I would never dream of attempting such base manipulation to begin with!
