You must zone after completing Omens to start this quest!
If you don't zone and get a divination from Waoud, you will have to wait for the next game day.
NOTE: Activating this quest will allow you to commission additional BLU Artifact Armor pieces. See Lathuya or the bottom of this page for details.

Walkthrough

• Speak with Waoud at (J-10) as a level 50+ Blue Mage.
• Ask for a divination by selecting the "Gaze away." dialogue option. He will inform you that "Your fate lies beyond the gate of nobility".
  • He will take 1,000 Gil from you like other Divinations.
    • If you continue talking to him, he will ask if you want another Divination. If you choose yes, he will continue to give you the same message and take more gil from you.
• Go to the Imperial Whitegate door at (L-8) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate, and check it for a cut scene.
  • You may receive several other cutscenes from this door, depending on your progress in various areas. Continue to examine the door until you receive the correct cutscene.
    • You can confirm that you have seen the correct cutscene by checking whether this quest is currently flagged as Active for you.
• The quest is now listed in your current quest log. At this point, you do not need to be on Blue Mage to continue the quest.
• Your next goal is to obtain two cutscenes in the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. The easiest way to achieve this is to do the following:
  • Use the Runic Portal in Whitegate to go to Nyzul Isle Staging Point.
  • Use the north exit from the staging point, and step on the North-East teleporter on the large map that you are on (toward Silver Sea Remnants) at (H-8).
  • After teleporting, use the east teleporter in the next room.
  • In the next room, use the west teleporter.
  • Once you arrive at (H-9), walk towards the exit to get the first cutscene.
  • Turn around and take the west teleport in the same room.
  • Walk south towards the exit to get the second cutscene (Avoid the Apex Archaic Cogs, which aggro true sight, true sound, and magic.)

Map 1

• After the above two cutscenes, it is time to progress to a battle. You'll need to have an Imperial Silver Piece, Remnants Permit, or Captain Wildcat badge, and follow the directions in the next step. You cannot access the area where the battle occurs via the rest of the ruins, only these specific entrances.
  • Either use the Home Point to Caedarva Mire, or go to Nashmau and use the west exit to Caedarva Mire.
    • Once in Caedarva Mire, head to (E-11) and speak to Nasheefa to enter Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.

• Use the teleporter at (I-9) (the one to the right when entering the room), then examine the blank spot in the North-West corner of (G-7) for a cutscene.
  • Examine the blank spot again to spawn a Nepionic Soulflayer.
• Defeat the Soulflayer, then examine the blank spot again for another cutscene and your reward.
  • If you zone after defeating the Soulflayer, but without triggering the final cutscene, you must fight it again.

Artifact Trace

After flagging the quest Transformations, you may commission Blue Mage Artifact Armor from Lathuya. You can choose the order in which you receive the armor and may commission a new piece one Vana'diel day after the last piece has been completed.

Blue Mage Artifact Armor
Armor	Ingredients	Coin Cost
Magus Shalwar	Gold Chain Velvet Cloth Flan Meat Imp. Silk Cloth	Imperial Mythril Piece x2
Magus Bazubands	Platinum Sheet Velvet Cloth Karakul Leather Venom Potion	Imperial Mythril Piece x2
Magus Jubbah	Velvet Cloth Chimera Blood Karakul Cloth Imp. Silk Cloth	Imperial Mythril Piece x4

Once you trade the ingredients, she will then ask for payment in a second, separate trade. She will give you a Magus order slip and tell you to come back later. Speak to her after the game day changes and after zoning to receive your piece of armor.
