Walkthrough

• Speak with Waoud at (J-10) in Aht Urhgan Whitegate.
  • If you did not speak with Waoud for the last step of the previous quest as well has have not yet zoned since you unlocked Blue Mage, you will receive the closing cutscene for the Blue Mage job unlock quest and must then zone out of Aht Urhgan Whitgate, return to Waoud, and then wait until the following game day to proceed further with this quest.
• Tell Waoud that you want him to "Gaze Away" at your fate and the quest cutscene begins. The text in the quest log tells you that you actually have the quest from Raubahn, rather than Waoud, even though Waoud will act as your contact.
  • In the cutscene, give the second answer, don't choose the first answer (the ellipses).
• Once you have the quest started, head to the five main Staging Points with Blue Mage as your main job.
  • You do not need to speak to the guard at Nyzul Isle for this quest.
  • At each Staging Point, you need to speak to the Immortals to receive a cutscene.

You will obtain a Permanent Key Item after each cutscene:

• Brand of the Springserpent from Meyaada at the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point.
• Brand of the Galeserpent from Nahshib at the Dvucca Isle Staging Point.
• Brand of the Flameserpent from Waudeen at the Halvung Staging Point.
• Brand of the Skyserpent from Daswil at the Mamool Ja Staging Point.
• Brand of the Stoneserpent from Nareema at the Azouph Isle Staging Point.

After you have all five Brand Key Items, return to Aht Urhgan Whitegate and speak to Waoud again to finish the quest.
