Walkthrough

• Talk to Shamarhaan at (F-9) in Bastok Markets near the fountain (with your level 30+ job equipped).
• Talk to Iruki-Waraki at (K-9) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (on the top floor).
• Talk to Ghatsad at (I-7) the Automaton Workshop (on the top floor).
• Head to Arrapago Reef
  • This can be achieved by taking the Ferry from Port Ephramad to Nashmau, taking the North exit into Caedarva Mire and heading to the tunnel at (I-6) into Arrapago Reef.
  • Alternatively, use the Runic Portal to the Azouph Isle Staging Point, and head to the tunnel at (I-6) into Arrapago Reef.

Keep Sneak and Invisible up due to the Chigoes and Treants in the Mire. Use caution around the imps as they have True Sight. If you want to avoid a few mobs, it is recommended doing this during the day as the Jnun in Caedarva Mire are asleep during this time (although they can be easily avoided during the night).

• • If you have blm main/sub job high enough to escape yourself, you can simply take any Ilrusi Atoll assault mission. Warp to the assault entrance area and when you escape, you will pop right where the Arrapago zone is (I-6 on Caedarva Mire map).
• You do NOT need a Lamian Fang Key for this quest, but you do for the Corsair quest, Luck of the Draw (if you do not have the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point).
• After entering from Caedarva Mire, you will be at the bottom of Arrapago Reef Map 1.
• Find the ??? at (H-10) on the first boat, hidden beneath the stairs, to receive a key item: Antique automaton.
  • The Skeletons (H) and Lamiae (S) are aggressive, so be careful when examining the ???.
• Return to Ghatsad (I-7) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate. Talk to him and give him the Antique automaton.
• Wait for the next game day and talk to him again.
• Return to Iruki-Waraki (K-9) to receive your Animator and to complete the quest.
  • You will also be given a chance to pick your Automaton's name from a list.
