Walkthrough
- After completing Equipped for All Occasions, return to Arrapago Reef's ??? (Note: This is H-10 on map 1) as Corsair 50+. If you head out from Nashmau, you may want to set your home point there, so you can warp out of Arrapago Reef and complete the next necessary steps in Nashmau.
- You need a Lamian Fang Key if traveling from Nashmau or using an Atmacite Refiner's teleportation service to Arrapago Reef.
- You can obtain a free Lamian Fang Key once per Vana'diel day (resetting at 0:00 game time) from a ??? in Caedarva Mire (H/I-7), in a small crevice behind a Jnun.
- You can use the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point to bypass the need for a Lamian Fang Key, but now that the key is so readily available at the ???, using the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point is unnecessarily time-consuming.
- You need a Lamian Fang Key if traveling from Nashmau or using an Atmacite Refiner's teleportation service to Arrapago Reef.
- Examine the ??? for a cutscene during which you are told to find a Hydrogauge. You cannot fish up the Hydrogauge before this point.
- From this point on, Corsair does not need to be your main job.
- Fish up a Hydrogauge. It will behave like any fished item, giving the message "You feel something pulling at your line."
- It can be fished up from Aht Urhgan Whitegate, Al Zahbi, Nashmau, and Silver Sea route to Al Zahbi, with any rod and any bait.
- Aht Urhgan Whitegate has the fewest fish to interfere with Hydrogauge fishing attempts. You can use any rod and Insect Ball, purchasable at Wahnid (H-11).
- After fishing up your Hydrogauge, trade it to Leleroon at Nashmau (G-7), bottom floor.
- Next, head to the Leypoint in Wajaom Woodlands at (G-8), and trade the Hydrogauge to the Leypoint for the message "You set the Hydrogauge in the glowing trench."
- You don't need to trade this as a Corsair, so the Leypoint can be conveniently warped to by any 60+ job using an Olduum Ring.
- Wait one minute (Earth time) and reexamine the Leypoint for a cutscene.
- Return to Arrapago Reef and check the ??? for a cutscene with Zweeha and your reward.
Game Description
- Client
- ??? - Arrapago Reef (H-10)
- Summary
- The seas around Arrapago Reef cannot be navigated without a hydrogauge, and it is your job to find one. Ships from the Kingdom of Ephramad all had one, but that was long ago...
