Walkthrough[edit]

Whitegate[edit]

Note: This cutscene must deal with Corsair quest, not The Die Is Cast quest that deals with throwing dice.
  • Talk to Mafwahb (L-9) by the Imperial Whitegate for another cutscene.
Caedarva Mire 1
Arrapago Reef 1
Arrapago Reef 2
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 can also be avoided easily during the day).

Arrapago Reef[edit]

  • Once inside the Reef, travel north in the tunnel until you see a ship. Board and walk through it, crossing the plank, and travel down the eastern shore.
Remain alert of any Lamiae (detect by sight) and Draugars (detect by sound) that may agro you in the reef.
  • Travel Northeast to a cave and the Iron Gate (J-10, Lamian Fang Key required). If you are traveling in a group, just one key will be enough to let everyone pass.
  • Once you go through the first gate, turn left and you will find another Iron Gate (H-9) guarded by a ghost mob (Sneak). A Lamia Fang Key is not required to open this gate, just drop Invisible and open it. (Make sure not to have low HP, or the ghost will aggro you.)
  • Once you're past the gate, the Corsair ??? is ahead on a ship (H-10).
There is a Lamia on the ship, be cautious when dropping invisible to start the cutscene.

Arrapago Reef (Alternate)[edit]

  • Using the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point will put you at (G-5) on Map 2.
    • Please be wary of Merrow #5 when leaving the staging point.
  • Go to (J-8) to get to Map 1 (point A).
    • Watch out for the Soulflayer (True Hearing) along the way.
  • Enter the caves at (I-8)/(I-9) (point m). Now you're on Map 6.
  • Exit using the Iron Gate at (G-9). Now you're back on Map 1.
  • Go to the ??? marked on the map, (H-10).
  • NOTE:If your Black Mage or /BLM is high enough to Escape, you can travel to Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point and then use Escape, which will transport you to Caedarva Mire just outside Entrance 1 of Arrapago Reef. This route requires you to use a Lamian Fang Key, but deposits you close to the ??? to obtain one. This also allows you to avoid having to dodge all the Heraldic Imps near the Azouph Isle Staging Point.

Talacca Cove[edit]

  • Head to Talacca Cove.
    • The quickest way is via Home Point if you have already been to Nashmau.
    • You do not have to go back through Whitegate to return to Nashmau. You can backtrack along the path through the Iron Gates and exit into Caedarva Mire at I-12 of Arrapago Reef Map 1 (where you just did your cutscene). This will take you to I-6 of Caedarva Mire Map 1, where you can head to Nashmau by going mostly south or hugging the right wall. Please take note of aggroing Treants and wandering true sight Imps, before you reach Nashmau.
    • From Nashmau, take the western exit into Caedarva Mire and head to (E-9)
      • You must pass through a cemetery (E-10) to reach the zone, there are Imps (True Sight) in the cemetery. During night hours, the Qiqirn turn into undead, so if you can avoid the imps, sneak is still advised to avoid aggroing undead. Watch HP (blood) aggro, also.
        • Note: There are actually two caves through the graveyard, take the northernmost one (with a Home Point inside).
Talacca Cove
  • Once inside the cove, travel along the left shore until you find a ??? (located on a big rock outside a tunnel).
There are no regular enemies in Talacca Cove.
  • Travel West from the ??? into the adjacent tunnel and follow it to its end.
    • Check the Rock Slab for the final cutscene. (Ensure you have at least one free inventory slot.)
    • After the cutscene you will receive a Corsair Die.
    • You will now be able to become a Corsair!
If you did not receive Corsair Die, free up one inventory slot and check the Rock Slab again.
If you already have a Corsair Die in your inventory, you will need to drop it before clicking the Rock Slab, otherwise you cannot complete the quest.
  • Optional: Go back to Ratihb for final cutscene. (This "optional" cutscene is necessary to start future Artifact quests.)
