Mission Orders

Assist Chief Engineer Cid in conducting an analysis of the gaseous emissions in the Dangruf Wadi. Meet with Cid for a more detailed explanation.

Walkthrough

Accept the mission from a gate guard after completing The Zeruhn Report. Head back over to Metalworks. Look for Cid in his lab. He will give you a key item: Blue Acidity Tester. Take the acidity tester to Dangruf Wadi Make your way to (I-8) where there will be a geyser. Stand on the gush of water until it pushes you up onto the ledge. Check your key items and see if the tester has turned into a Red Acidity Tester. When it turns red, return back to Cid to complete the quest.

You will then receive rank 1-3.

Cid's lab is in the Bastok Metalworks. Take the elevator & either hang a left (if using the right elevator) or a right (if using the left elevator).

You'll know you're in the right spot because you should see an NPC guard named Izabelle, or some such.

It is rather cool to note that in the game, you can get directions by "talking" to some of the NPC's (usually guards).

Let me add a couple of directions.

Unlike many locatons in the game, Cid's Lab is actually marked on your Metalworks map. G-8. If you go outside to find it, you've gone too far.

Take the FIRST inside turn from an elevator to get to the lobby room which leads to Cid's Lab.

The NPC guard in the lobby room is "Izabele."

May the Force with with you.

To get to the gyser, where the item turns red, when you first get in Wadi take a right at the fork. Then follow the path until you can turn right again, then do so. Follow the path yet again and you'll come to an area that opens up and to the left is the gyser. Just stand in the general area (don't have to use it to go up a level) for it to turn red.

To check it, go to "key items" in your inventory and inspect it.
Dangruf Wadi?

You have to stand on a specific location to get the tester to turn red, stand on the Geyser that blows you up to a higher level of the area in I-8 of the map.

But since the place is full of aggressive nasties - you will end up as street pizza if you try it at that low a level. Whenever I wander through there I always end up Curing some hapless guy having a discussion with something too big for him to handle because they rushed in.
