The background of the Immortal Lions, the blue mages of Aht Urghan

The Immortals are the personal guard and the highest ranking soldiers of the leader of the Aht Urghan Empire, currently Empress Nashmeira II.
Decades ago Emporer Balrahn feared an uprising of the chimaera the empire used at this time as soldiers and warmachines and had to see how weak his palace guard were, leading to the death of his beloved son. The alchemists which created the chimaera thought just a monster can defeat a monster, so they took the strongest palace guards and tried to make monsters out of them. But after some horrible mistakes where the guards (in lucky cases) died from the transplantations, the alchemists decided to stop the biotechnological way and turned to the way of magic: The fused the soul of the monster directly into the spirit of the guards!
These new guards, which wielded a magic called 'blue magic', could embrace the beast within themself and the monster they defeated. Their azure blood drew strength from the enemies they defeated and added them to power of the Blue Mage - the price being horrible pain and the loss of their humanity.
Never died an Immortal after a normal livespan. They died in ferocious battle succumbing to their beastly nature ...

The Way to Immortality - Blue Mage Flag Quest

Before you do this quest I suggest you visit the Quon continent to gather some items:

* Dangruf Stone: go to I-5 in Dangruf Wadi and search a shining spot there. It will give you the Dangruf Stone (may just happen during bright daylight).
* Siren's Tear: go to J-9 in North Gustaberg an deequip all weapons, shields and ammo from you. You will find a ??? which gives you the Siren's Tear. But be careful, it is a very delicate treasure which will slip away when you fight!
* Valkurm Sunsand: go to the overturned ship at H-9 in the Valkurm Dunes (shiver), wait for a sandstorm and then klick the ??? to get this item.

Now travel to Aradjiah. When you come to Aht Urghan Whitegate go to a guy named Waoud at the Gladiator's Alley (if it is your first visit to Aht Urghan I recommend buying a map at the vendor in the port), where he stands on top of the middle buildings. Waoud is a diviner which has a rather unique way to tell your future. He will ask you 10 questions. If you anwer correctly, you will start "An Empty Vessel", the BLU flag quest. Here are the questions:

I. What is destiny?

II. Does the accomplishment of a goal require sacrifice and hardship?

III. You hold in your hands a forbidden scroll. Reading it will bring you untold wisdom, but cost all that you own.

IV. If the loss of one life would save ten thousand, would you offer yourself without hesitation?

V. Would you choose a tumultuous life where fame or fortune were attainable, or a tranquil life where both were forever beyond your reach?

VI. You stand on the precipice between life and death. Would you choose to live life as a beast if it would save you from falling into the shadowy abyss of the underworld?

VII. A companion in battle turns against you, raising a weapon to attack.

VIII. A loved one is afflicted with a terrible illness and has little time to live. You are asked to end that life by your own hand.

IX. You are in the midst of a fierce battle. The enemy lying at your feet was once a friend. His breath is ragged and weak.

X. A superior to whom you owe a great debt orders you to act in a way that violates your sense of justice.

The catch is this: there is no 100% 'correct' way to answer this question. When you answer the question think like a Blue Mage might answer - a ruthless beast without mercy but still honourable. For some people a certain set of answers work and for other people not. Perhaps the 'correct' way depends on the race and/or job you have while doing the divination ... but I'm pretty sure there are always 3 correct ways and the chosen way will determine the item you have to pay. For me 'take all bottom answers' worked, other say the right combination is 2-2-3-3-2-1-2-1-2-2

If you answer wrong, he will charge 1000 gil from you and you can do it again one Vana'diel day later. But when all the answers are right, he will see the symbols of the five serpents (Sky, Flame, Stone, Gale and Spring) and ask for no payment. Talk to him until he mentiones something from the Middle Lands (Mindartia / Quon) that he wants: either a golden sand, a red stone, or a blue jewel. Zone and wait a full Vana'diel day, then talk to him again and after that trade him the according item.
Waoud will send you to Aydeewa Subterrane. Go to the Bhaflau Thickets and then walk as far northeast as possible. There you will find the entrance to the Subterrane. Go right until you come to a room where many diremites crawl around. A ramp is there which leads down to a deeper cave where a great blue pool is. Step onto the pool ... and then decide ...
Do you want to get the power of an Immortal? If yes, take his hand ...

The power of the Blue Mage

Blue Mages are fighter-mages (like red mages were till the player community nerfed them *sigh*), using both their magic skill and their weapon skill. Their HP/MP and their stats seem to be similar to that of red mages, and they have an A- rating in 'Sword Skill' (they can learn EX weaponskills from swords, but not the SP weaponskill Swift Blade) and an A+ rating in 'Blue Magic Skill'. Additional to these skills they have also Club Skill (B-), Evasion Skill (C+) and Parrying Skill (D).
The greatest strength of the Blue Mage is his versatility. He can change his spell-list and also status-boni according to the current needs, giving him a great power in solo-play. Although one drawback of the Blue Mage is exactly this solo-power: Almost all healing and enhancing spells (except Healing Breeze, Magic Fruit and Diamondhide) are self-targeting, making him in party more a damage dealer and enfeebler than a healer or supporter.

Job Traits and Job Abilities

Azure Lore (Duration: 30 seconds, Recast: 2 hours, Lv. 1):
This ability increases the power of blue spells: Physical spells are treated as if they were used with over 300 tp% (which enhances various aspects of these spells), while magical spells have a noticable increases accuracy.

Burst Affinity (Duration: 30 seconds, Recast: 2 minutes, Lv. 25):
This ability enables the BLU to use the next magical spell as magic burst on a renkei-effect.

Chain Affinity (Duration: 30 seconds, Recast: 2 minutes, Lv.40):
This ability enables the BLU to use the next physical spell in a skillchain. In addition this physical spell will use the tp% of the BLU and improve various effects depending on the spell. Contrary to weaponskills physical spells will not get a power-up for every 100 tp% but for every 150 tp% used. It is important to know that the power-up of a physical spell is decided by the tp% at the moment Chain Affinity is used and not at the moment the physical spell is used.

Blue Mages have no inherent Job Traits.

Blue Magic, the power of the beast

I. Basics

Blue spells are the tp%-abilites the enemies use at you. You cannot learn every tp%-ability, just one or two from each and you can just learn tp%-abilities but no other spell-type (black, white, song, summon, ninjutsu), no weaponskill (from the mobs which use the same weaponskills like people) and no jobabilities. There are two types of blue spells, physical and magical ones. These types are shown in the spell list list but in fact there are also twoadditional sub-categories: ranged physical spells and magical breath attacks.

Physical blue spells work similar to mini-weaponskills. They deal physical damage (against Vit, Def), separated into blunt/pierce/slash damage, sometimes with added effects, multiple hits or area effects. Their strength is determined by the STR of the BLU and the blue magic skill, but not by the BLUs melee Att. Physical spells can 'fail to take effect' which means the spell didn't hit the enemy. The Acc of physical spells is the accuracy of the melee-weapon in the main hand but will also get additional accuracy with higher blue magic skill. Because they count as physical attacks they have higher damage and accuracy with jobabilities like Sneak Attack.
Ranged physical spells work similar, but have two specialities: first they depend less on the STR () and more on the AGI of the BLU and second their damage will go down with increasing distance between the caster and the target.
The jobability 'Chain Affinity' enables a physical spell to be used in a skillchain and the will use the tp% of the BLU to increase their efficiency. Because the amount the spell gets enhanced is calculated at the moment Chain Affinity is used, you can use Chain Affinity --> Wesponskill --> Physical Spell and get the bonus of the tp% for the spell even when the tp% have already been used by the weaponskill. Chain Affinity increases the potency of physical spells at 150 tp% and 300 tp%.
The jobability 'Azure Lore' will increase the efficiency of physical blue spells to a strength over 300 tp%.

Magical blue spells work like 'real' spells. They deal elemental damage (against INT, MDef), enfeeble the enemy or enhance and heal the BLU. The strength of the magical spells is determined by the INT of the BLU or the MND (for healing spells) and blue magic skill and can be increased by correct equipment, elemental staves, the correct weather and day. Contrary to physical spells they will always hit, but they can be resisted - the magic accuracy is determined by blue magic skill. Magical blue spells are also affected by the jobabilities Elemental / Divine Seal and the jobtraits Conserve MP and Fast Cast. Magical blue spells may pierce the 'Magic Shield' some enemies (Ahriman ...) may use.
Breath spell are all magical spell which work in a fan-shaped area and they have two specialities: first their damage will be a certain percentage of the current HP on the BLU and second  some of them (Awful Eye, Jettatura ...) are in fact no 'breath' but 'gaze' spells which just work when the enemy looks in the direction of the BLU while cast.
The jobability 'Burst Affinity' enables a magical spell to be used in a magic burst.
The jobability 'Azure Lore' will give all magical spells a much greater magic accuracy, so they won't get resisted.

II. The Circle of Life

Blue spells have beside their (possible) elemental attribute a family attribute. This attribute comes from the family the blue spell is learned from. You have to know that almost every kind of animal is strong or weak to another animal. This chart shows which animal family is strong against each other. The predator (Beast) doesn't just intimidate the prey (Lizard), nullifying some of its turns but deals also more damage to the prey. But the predater in turn is hunted from another kind of animal (Plantoid) and weak to it. Demon and Dragons are both weak and strong against each other, the same is valid for Arcana and Undead.
Families without strength and weaknesses are 'People' (the five races), 'Empty' (the essence of forgetting inside the Promyvions) and 'Lumorian' (the strange ethereal creatures found in Lumoria) and some unsorted beings like Zilart, the Avatars and so on ...

In addition to this chart it is useful to know that beastmen attacks are stronger against other beastmen.

(Note: the word 'Demon' is used in two meanings in the game. The first one is the animal family demon and the second one are the black winged creatures found in the northlands, i.e. as the name of a specific mob type. From now on I will use 'Demon' in this guide to refer to the animal family, while this particular race of demons will be named 'Kindred', like they call themself. The same problem is with the word 'Lizard' and 'Dragon', but sadly here is no different name in the game, so I have to use it both ways.)

Blue spells work the same way like the animal families: They are stronger or weaker depending on the target of the spell, so a Blue Mage has to memorize which spell works best against a certain target. This does not apply to healing/enhancing spells: Healing Breeze (Dhalmel, beast-type) will cure the same amount of HP during a fight against a Ochu (plantoid) and a Eft (lizard), while Cocoon (Crawler, Vermin) will always give +50% Defence independent if the enemy is a Raptor (lizard) or a Funguar (plantoid).
This effect is called "Monster Correlation" and will increase/decrease the attack and accuracy by +25%.

Here is a list of the animal families:

Amorpha: Hecteyes, Leech, Puddings, Slime / Clot, Worm

Arcana: Bomb, Cardian, Cluster, Detector, Doll, Elemental, Evil Weapon, Golem, Magic Pot, Mimic, Snoll

Aquan: Crab, Orobon, Pugil, Sea Monk, Uragnite

Beast: Behemoth, Buffalo, Coeurl, Dhalmel, Manticore, Marid, Opo-opo, Rabbit, Ram, Sheep, Tiger

Beastmen: Antica, Bugbear, Gigas, Goblin / Moblin, Lamia / Merrow, Mamool Ja, Orc, Orcish Warmachine, Poroggo, Qiqirn, Quadav, Sahagin, Tonberry, Troll, Yagudo

Bird: Apkallu, Bat, Colibri, Bird, Cockatrice, Greater Bird, Hippogryph, Trio-Bats

Demon: Ahriman, Imp, Kindred, Soulflayer, Taurus

Dragon: Dragon, Puk, Wyvern, Wyrm

Empty: Craver, Gorger, Memory Receptacle, Seether, Thinker, Wanderer, Weeper

Lizard: Adamantoise, Bugard, Eft, Lizard, Raptor

Lumorian: Aern, Euvhi, Ghrah, Hpemde, Phuabo, Xzomit, Yovra, Zdei

Plantoid: Flytrap, Funguar, Goobbue, Malboro, Mandragora, Sabotender, Sapling, Treant

Undead: Corse, Doomed, Fomor / Shadow, Ghost, Hound, Qutrub, Skeleton

Vermin: Antlion, Bee, Beetle, Chigoe, Crawler, Diremite, Fly, Scorpion, Spider, Wamoura, Wamouracampa

(Note: Slime/Clot, Goblin/Moblin, Lamia/merrow and Fomor/Shadow are just four families, although the members of these may have different attacks or special abilities. But that doesn't change the fact that they are basically the same enemy-type. Clot and Fomor can teach no blue spells, but Slime and Shadow do, while Goblins, Moblins Lamia and Merrow teach each one spell.)

III. Learning blue spells:

There are certain conditions to learn blue spells: Only a BLU-mainjob can learn new spells, he has to be in the area-range to get exp from the enemy (if the message 'you are too far away from the battle to gain experience' appears, he is too far away to learn spells) and the enemy has to use the according tp%-ability.

It is not necessary to get exp from the enemy, so it is possible to learn when a higher Lv.-friends helps you kill the enemy and it is even possible to learn from BCNM or ENM-enemies. A BLU can not learn a spell when he is dead at the moment the enemy dies, but it is enough if he sees the tp%-ability. It is not necessary for the BLU to get hit with it or anybody to get hit at all. It is possible to learn evaded tp%-abilities. Multiple BLU in the same party can learn the spell from the same enemy.

I experienced many spells seem to be learned easier when you have a capped blue magic skill, the mob is even match and you are near the Lv. where the spell becomes setable for the first time. So for each spell I added a suggestion in the spell library where you can find the mob of the appropriate Lv. and it's location.
In fact it is not a Lv.-difference between the BLU and the spell which determines how difficult it is to learn but the difference between the current blue magic skill and the capped blue magic skill of the spell-Lv. which should not be larger than 30. Because a BLU gets 3 points to his skill every Lv. a spell is normally learnable up to 10 Lv. before it is equipable. After Lv.50 a BLU will get 5 skill points per Lv., so a spell is just learnable 6 Lv.before it is equipable.
Items which increase blue magic skill (like Artifact Armour) also help learning these spells.

A good way to learn blue spells is this: Fight an enemy till it has just a sliver of HP left, then unlock and turn around so you cannot see the enemy any more. Let the enemy beat you until it has enough tp% and uses the desired ability against you. Turn now back and kill it as fast as possible. You should now either have the spell learned or you need a new mob.
I have just one advice really: Think of learning blue spells as hunting for a very rare dropping, auto-learned spell scroll without a chance to get any kind of Treasure Hunter. You may learn it on the first try or wait for hours, happened both to me ... although in the later case it was mostly because the enemy didn't use the tp%-ability often enough. ;)

IV. Equipping Blue Spells:

When a blue spell is learned it is copied into the main spell list like every other spell, but the Blue Mage cannot use it immediatly. He has a 'blue spell memory' with a certain size where he can set spells, and he can only use the blue spells from the 'blue spell memory'. It is possible to change the spells in the 'blue spell memory' at any time in the game but after a change the Blue Mage will not be able to use any blue spell for a whole minute.
Blue spells take not just 1 slot from the 'blue spell memory' but cost also a certain amount ot 'blue magic points'. While the number of blue spells may not exceed the number of slots in the 'blue spell memory', the added cost of these spells may not be higher than maximum amount of 'blue magic points'.

At Lv.1 the Blue Mage has 10 blue magic points and 6 usable spell slots, but after every 10 Lv. he will get +5 blue magic points and +2 spell slots, till he reaches the maximum of 20 spells / 45 blue magic points at Lv.71. The different coloured slots in the 'blue spell memory' will indicate the different Lv.-caps, so you can see how many spell-slots you will have in certain areas.

Additonal to this limitations every blue spell has also a Lv.-requirement like every other spell.

V. Customizing the Blue Mage:

A Blue Mage is not just able to customize his spell list so he can attune to different situations and enemies fought, but he will also be able to change his stats. Almost every blue spell has a status-bonus (in rare cases also a status-malus) associated with it, which will be added to the base stats of the Blue Mage. Through setting of certain spells he can increase HP/MP and all his stats.

Additional to this he will also get Job Traits when certain spells are equipped together. You can check these traits in the job trait menu. You need to equip two of the listed spells to get the jobtrait, additional spells will not improve the jobtrait's effect. I listed also the earliest Lv. possible to equip each jobtrait.
Clear Mind is the first exception here: for every two spells equipped the BLU will get an additional tier of Clear Mind up to Clear Mind IV with 8 spells (Clear MInd V is not possible).
Auto Refresh is the other exception: it is necessary to equip spells worth 8 or more 'auto refresh' points to get the effect, the number of spells is not important.

Accuarcy Bonus +10 (Lv.72): Dimensional Death, Disseverment, Frenetic Rip
Attack Bonus +10 (Lv.38): Battle Dance, Death Scissors, Spinal Cleave, Temporal Shift, Uppercut
Auto Refresh (Lv.50): Actinic Burst (4), Cold Wave (2), Frightful Roar (1), Light of Penance (2), Plasma Charge (4), Self-Destruct (2), Stinking Gas (1), Voracious Trunk (3)
Auto Regen (Lv.16): Healing Breeze, Sheep Song
Clear Mind (Lv.24): Awful Eye, Feather Tickle, Filamented Hold, Lowing, Maelstrom, Mind Blast, Poison Breath, Sandspray, Soporific, Venom Shell, Warm-Up
Conserve MP (Lv.66): Chaotic Eye, Firespit, Frost Breath, Zephyr Mantle
Defence Bonus +10 (Lv.40): Grand Slam, Saline Coat, Terror Touch, Vertical Cleave
Evasion Bonus +10 (Lv.69): Hysteric Barrage, Screwdriver
Killer Effect - 8% Beast (Lv.4): Sprout Smack, Wild Oats, 1000 Needles
Killer Effect - 8% Lizard (Lv.20): Claw Cyclone, Foot Kick
Killer Effect - 8% Plantoid (44): Mandibular Bite, Power Attack
Killer Effect - 8% Undead (Lv.34): Bludgeon, Smite of Rage
Magic Attack Bonus +20 (Lv.32): Cursed Sphere, Eyes On Me, Heat Breath, Magic Hammer, Memento Mori, Reactor Cool, Soundblast
Magic Defence Bonus +10% (Lv.50): Ice Break, Magnetite Cloud
Maximum HP Bonus +50 (Lv.62): Body Slam, Flying Hip Press, Frypan
Maximum MP Bonus +10 (Lv.40): Hecatomb Wave, Metallic Body, Mysterious Light
Rapid Shot (Lv.38): Feather Storm, Hydro Shot, Jet Stream
Resist Enhancement - Sleep (Lv.58): Exuviation, Magic Fruit, Pollen, Yawn, Wild Carrot
Store TP +10% (Lv.69): Sickle Slash, Tail Slap

And like every other main/subjob-combo: The same trait from the mainjob does not stack with the trait from a subjob. So if you get a trait already through your subjob don't waste you blue magic points setting spells which are unnecessary in your current gaming situation.

V. Merit Points:

This are the job-specific merit points for the Blue Mage. Like other job-specific merits they activate just when your job is at Lv.75 and uncapped.

Group #1:
You can have up to 10 merits in this category and up to 5 merits on a single item. The first point on an item costs 1 merit point, the second costs 2 merit points, the third costs 3, the fourth costs 4 and the fifth costs 5.

- Chain Affinity Recast (-4 seconds per upgrade)
- Burst Affinity Recast (-4 seconds per upgrade)
- Monster Correlation (+/- 2% per upgrade, although it seems to just increase the accuracy of spells and not the potency)
- Physical Potency (+2 Physical Potency per upgrade, i.e. increased damage and accuracy)
- Magical Accuracy (+2 Magical Accuracy per upgrade, i.e. less resists on the spells)

Group #2:
You can have up to 6 merits in this category and up to 3 merits on a single item. The first point on an item costs 3 merit points, the second costs 4 merit points and the third 5 merit points.



Legacy of Azure Blood - Blue Mage Quests

• Magus Attire - Artifact Armour

To get your Artifact Armour you have to do three quests and some item buying. In addition to this you must have finished "Immortal Sentries", the second ToAU mission, so your know that the Immortals are one duty on the five staging points in Aradjiah. In addition you have to be Lv.40 or above for the first quest to start.


1. Beginnings

Go as BLU to Waoud and ask him to tell your fortune. He will send you to the five staging points, where you should speak with the Immortals. They all will give you are key item, you have to collect:

- Brand of the Skyserpent (Mamool Ja)
- Brand of the Flameserpent (Halvung)
- Brand of the Galeserpent (Dvucca Isle)
- Brand of the Stoneserpent (Azouph Isle)
- Brand of the Springserpent (Ilrusi Atoll)

After you got the five brands, return to Waoud and you will get your Immortal's Scimitar and the title "Branded by the Five Serpents"

2. Omens

You have to be Lv.50 or above to start this quest and you need the Immortal's Scimitar.

You have to talk to Waoud again to get a Cutscene which sends you to Navukgo Execution Chamber in the Halvung Territory. There you have to find the Decorative Bronze Gate to enter the Burning Circle fight. Kill the Immortal Flan there (there spawn more Flans if you bring a larger party or an alliance with you).

When you return to Waoud you will get a Sealed Immortal Letter, which you have to bring to a master craftsman. Lathuya in Aht Urghan Whitegate seems to be such a person, so talk to her. She will send you to her master, who is fishing in Aydeewa Subterrane. Enter the Subterrane through the entrance at K-9 in Wajaom Woodlands and go north till you find a lake. There is a blank spot on the ground which will cause a cutscene.

Now go back to Lathuya and recive your Magus Charuqs and the title "Immortal Lion".

3. Craftable Pieces

You have to start the first cutscene of the third quest, "Transformations", to get these items. Speak to Lathuya and Kushdeel will synth you the items. You can just get one item per real-life day and you have to wait one Vana'diel day before Kushdeel is finished synthing the item. And you have to zone too -_-;

Magus Shalwar:
1x Gold Chain
1x Velvet Cloth
1x Imperial Silk Cloth
1x Flan Meat

Fee: 2x Imperial Mythril Piece

Magus Bazubands:
1x Platinum Sheet
1x Velvet Cloth
1x Karakul Leather
1x Venom Potion

Fee: 2x Imperial Mythril Piece

Magus Shalwar:
1x Karakul Cloth
1x Velvet Cloth
1x Imperial Silk Cloth
1x Chimera Blood

Fee: 4x Imperial Mythril Piece

4. Transformations

When you go to Waoud this time, he will tell you that your fate lies behinds the gate of nobility. So go the the Imperial Whitegate and get a cutscene which sends you to the Alzaadaal Undersea Ruins (now you can start to craft the other pieces too). Take two Imperial Silver Pieces and go to the Ruins through Caedarva Mire at J-10.

You have to pay Tyamah one silverpiece to enter the Ruins. Go down the main room (cutscene) and then take the right teleporter (another cutscene). Now take the entrance to the Ruins at E-11 in Caedarva Mire and pay another silverpiece. Go again down the main room and take the right teleporter to find a blank spot on the ground. Here the Nepionic Soulflayer will spawn (very fast casting, BLM with spells to ~Lv.65)
After it is dead, examine the blank spot on the ground again to get the Magus Keffiyeh and the title "Paragon of Blue Mage Excellence".

• The Beast Within - Blue Mage Limit Break

Go to Waoud for the next Cutscene. You have to be Lv.66+.
First kill Mamool Ja Mimicker till they drop a Blue Mage Testimony. Trade this to the Imperial Whitegate to recive a Scroll of Warp and get teleportet to the Jade Sepulcher. Trade the testimony now to the door and you will find yourself in the battlefield.

Now you have 10 minutes to defeat Raubahn, the leader of the Immortal Lions. He is incredible dangerous: he knows all sword weaponskills, knows every blue spell which is not from Lumoria and has a very strong Fast Cast Trait. He will not very often use Chain or Burst Affinity and will not self-skillchain, but when you use Azure Lore, he will do it also.

This fight is very fast and very short. Use Opo-opo Necklace and Sleeping Potions to get 300 tp%, use Yagudo Drinks/Ethers and Persikos au Lait/Potions during the fight and hope he uses mostly enhancing spells. Buff yourself with Cocoon, Refueling, Amplification and try to start the fight with a Frost Breath (paralyze), follow with your strongest self-skillchain and magic burst (at this lvl this should be Savage Blade --> Cannon Ball --> Renkei: Light --> Magic Burst: Fire Spit), activate Azure Lore to make your spells stronger and then try to deal as much damage as fast as possible. It is very unlikely than you have enough time for a second self-skillchain, and most of the time healing spells and abilities are not strong or fast enough.

If Raubahn gives up, you will get the title "Master of Ambition" and you'll be able to get Lv.71-75.

• ENM60 - Pulling the Strings

To start this ENM, go to Twinkbrix in Oldton Movalpolos and give him some gil. He will roll two 50-sided dice and you have to get a result between 2 and X (X is 5 for every 1000 gil you give him, up to 50). If you lose you have to pay him again for another roll, if you win, you get the key item Shaft Gate Operating Dial. Now go to Mine Shaft #2716 (or pay Twinkbrix 2000 gil to teleport you there) and you can enter "Automaton Assault" or "Pulling the Strings".

In "Pulling the Strings" it is a 1:2 fight, between the BLU and the Moblin Fantocciniman and his puppet, the Fantoccini. You have just to kill the Fantoccini and as long as you don't attack the Fanticciniman, he will not attack you. Fantoccini is a BLU (well, always same job as the player) without subjob ... as the player is (yep, subjob is removed). Fantoccini uses the same spells you have set and will use jobabilities (although no self-skillchains). It wields a sword and can even use weaponskills (because of the high HP of a mob Spirits Within is absolutely deadly!).
The Fantocciniman sits in the back and rolls his marionette dice, which randomly gives enhancings or restores HP/MP/tp% or restores recast-timers to either Fantoccini or you.

If you defeat the Fantoccini you have won the battle and will get 2000 exp, a bag of worm mulch and occasionally the Death Chakram will drop.

The key item used for entering is lost and cannot be regained till 5 real-life days have passed.
