Colbernoux: Or the necklace bearing the name of Lihtdraega, the Roegadyn maiden whose beauty alone made her one of Ul'dah's wealthiest.

That was copied from the quest. I mean wow!!! A Galka Lady whose beauty is so outstanding???? There is a Galka female?

Spoilers, etc.

First off, you will be zoning in and out of instanced versions of both the Miner's and Goldsmith's Guilds, so don't be afraid to do so. It won't screw up your quest.

After hitting Rank 20 Goldsmith and have completed the storyline quests up to the midpoint of Fade to White, go to the Goldsmith's Guild and speak with Elcotte. (You will receive a specific ability called Echo. If you haven't experienced Echo, I doubt you can proceed with this quest.)

She will ask if you want to join the guild, which is yes, of course. She then offered me, "She Walks in Beauty". Upon accepting, you will enter an instance that encompasses the guild area.

Elcotte will direct you to be a novice under Colbernoux, so seek him out in the workshop area of the guild. He will send you to the Nanawa Mines, to speak with Z'ssapa.

I exited Ul'dah via the Gate of Nald. I then headed north of Camp Black Brush, and neared the entrance for the Nanawa Mines. Z'ssapa, a Miqo'te, is not actually in the mines, but stands at the entrance to them. She will give you the item, "a bag of Amajina silver nuggets". Make sure your chatlog displayed the reception (you receive them similar to how you obtain local guildleve materials).

After returning to the guild and speaking with Colbernoux again, you will recieve a "brooch pin" and a "recipe for Z'ssapa's brooch", neither of which showing up your inventory (again, similar to local leve materials). At the direction of Colbernoux, head over to the Miner's Guild.

And now begins the new content: Parley. It is a mini-game that takes place on a 3 by 4 grid. Maybe I'll come back to update this in more detail, but for the purposes of the walkthrough, I'll skip the in-depth Parley stuff. Parley with the Disconcerted Miner, the Sprightly Miner and the Melancholy Miner. Once you get the item, "ideal miner sketch", open up your synthesis interface, and select requested items. Change the designation from local levequests to quests, and select "She Walks in Beauty". The sketch, brooch pin, and the Amajina silver nuggets will be in your synthesis box, and you will be able to create "Z'ssapa's Brooch".

Synth the brooch. If I need to tell you how to do this, then how did you get this far to begin with?

Return to Colbernoux. He will reward you with 1,000 gil.

Speak to F'lhaminn. Echo.

Speak to Elcotte. She will reward you with 20,000 gil and 2,000 Goldsmith Guild Marks.

Congratulations on completing "She Walks in Beauty"!

Edit 1: An additional reward to completing the quest appears to be the guild's NPC linkpearl showing up in your list, "Eshtaime's Lapidaries".

Edit 2: I just received guildmarks as a reward from a levequest in place of gil for the first time. It was a Rank 20 leve, Pleasure and Pain. I'm not sure I completed a Rank 20 leve prior to finishing the quest however, so this may be coincidence.

I will post more new findings as I see them.
