Walkthrough

1. If you just completed Researchers from the West you must zone before speaking to Anastase again.
2. Speak to Anastase and select the option "Let's expand these warp options" to begin the quest. He sends you to search for Geomagnetic Founts that will unlock Waypoints.
3. The following steps may be completed in any order. Completing each step immediately unlocks the Waypoint for teleportation. It is recommended that you complete these steps on a high level job as some of the waypoints are accessed through areas that contain high level monsters.
   • Travel to West Ronfaure Waypoint.
     • First enter Bostaunieux Oubliette. After zoning in proceed straight down the hall and take the first right heading west. At the end of the hall go through the wooden door and talk to Couchatorage to proceed downward. Once at the bottom hug the right wall at all times and eventually you will zone out in to West Ronfaure. The area right before you zone out to West Ronfaure has monsters that check as easy prey and aggro to level 99. Once you zone out DO NOT fall down the ledge. The Geomagnetic Fount will be to your left (E-8).

     • First enter Dangruf Wadi from South Gustaberg. At the first intersection head north and at the second intersection head north again. In the next area stand on the geyser and wait for it to shoot you up to the next level. Once on the next level follow the path to the next intersection and take the west path. Sneak and Invisible are highly recommended from here on out, even for level 99s. At the end of the path you will come to a large area with lots of goblins, from here take the north path along the north wall of the area. You will immediately come to an intersection where you will want to take the east path. Follow the path around until you come to another area with crabs and opo-opos. There will be another geyser that you will want to use to go up to the next level and exit at (K-3). The Geomagnetic Fount will be on the opposite side of the river where you entered North Gustaberg at (D-8).

At the top of the stairs you will come to a room with a hole in the floor, from this room take the south tunnel to another room with a hole in the floor which you will want to fall down. After falling head east through the tunnel and up the stairs. At the top of the stairs you will head south at the intersection and follow the tunnel around until you come to an intersection.

Notes: Unlike the Proto-Waypoints from the previous quest, Geomagnetic Founts are automatically activated when you click on them and there is no NPC that needs to be spoken to.

Tip: Unlike the previous quest Geomagnetic Fount Waypoints differ from Proto-Waypoints in that you can only teleport to them, but not from them. Because of this it is recommended that you bring White Mage or Black Mage as your main or sub job for quick teleportation or warp once you activate the Waypoint.
