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 Ephramd 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 they are asleep during that time.

• Find the ??? at (H-10) on the first boat, hidden beneath the stairs, to receive a key item: Antique Automaton.
• 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.
