Walkthrough

  • Speak with Cleades (A) at (G-5). Take Veridical Conflux #06 and head southeast to reach him.
  • Next to Cleades (A) are some Lined Boxes which you can obtain your Soulgauger SGR-1 and purchase Gauger Plates for 5 Cruor each. You can buy up to 12 Gauger Plates at once.
  • Much like using a Soultrapper, you will equip the Soulgauger SGR-1 and Gauger Plates and then look for an NM to get a good quality capture of. Unlike when farming Zeni, you do not need to lower the mob's HP.
    • You need to have a good distance (~5 yalms) and frontal angle on the mob. Distance and angle appear to the major factors in appraisal of your captures.
    • Only NMs in Abyssea - Konschtat can be captured with the Soulgauger SGR-1. It cannot be used in other Abyssea areas.
    • Good NM suggestions are Guimauve and Pavan, since they are close by and do not aggro.
  • Return to Cleades (A) and trade your captures to him. He will then appraise your work.
    • There are four appraisal levels that result in different cruor rewards and text from the NPC.
    • If your trade is rejected, you can trade him another until he finally accepts one to complete the quest.

This quest can only be completed once per Vana'diel day.
