Walkthrough

After completing Equipped for All Occasions, return to Arrapago Reef's ??? (Note: This is H-10 on map 1) as Corsair 50+. If you head out from Nashmau, you may want to set your home point there, so you can warp out of Arrapago Reef and complete the next necessary steps in Nashmau.
- You need a Lamian Fang Key if traveling from Nashmau or using an Atmacite Refiner's teleportation service to Arrapago Reef.
  - You can obtain a free Lamian Fang Key once per Vana'diel day (resetting at 0:00 game time) from a ??? in Caedarva Mire (H/I-7), in a small crevice behind a Jnun.
- You can use the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point to bypass the need for a Lamian Fang Key, but now that the key is so readily available at the ???, using the Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point is unnecessarily time-consuming.
Examine the ??? for a cutscene during which you are told to find a Hydrogauge. You cannot fish up the Hydrogauge before this point.
From this point on, Corsair does not need to be your main job.
Fish up a Hydrogauge. It will behave like any fished item, giving the message "You feel something pulling at your line."
- It can be fished up from Aht Urhgan Whitegate, Al Zahbi, Nashmau, and Silver Sea route to Al Zahbi, with any rod and any bait.
- Aht Urhgan Whitegate has the fewest fish to interfere with Hydrogauge fishing attempts. You can use any rod and Insect Ball, purchasable at Wahnid (H-11).
After fishing up your Hydrogauge, trade it to Leleroon at Nashmau (G-7), bottom floor.
Next, head to the Leypoint in Wajaom Woodlands at (G-8), and trade the Hydrogauge to the Leypoint for the message "You set the Hydrogauge in the glowing trench."
- You don't need to trade this as a Corsair, so the Leypoint can be conveniently warped to by any 60+ job using an Olduum Ring.
Wait one minute (Earth time) and reexamine the Leypoint for a cutscene.
Return to Arrapago Reef and check the ??? for a cutscene with Zweeha and your reward.

 == Walkthrough ==
+*After completing [[Equipped for All Occasions]], return to [[Arrapago Reef]]'s '''???''' (Note: This is H-10 on map 1) as [[Corsair]] 50+. If you head out from Nashmau, you may want to set your home point there, so you can warp out of [[Arrapago Reef]] and complete the next necessary steps in [[Nashmau]].
+**You need a [[Lamian Fang Key]] if traveling from [[Nashmau]] or using an [[Atmacite Refiner]]'s teleportation service to [[Arrapago Reef]].
-) After completing Corsair AF1 Quest, return to [[Arrapago Reef]]'s '''???''' as [[Corsair]] 50+.  If you head out from Nashmau, you may want to set your home point there, as you can warp out from [[Arrapago Reef]] and complete the next necessary steps in Nashmau.
+***You can obtain a free Lamian Fang Key '''once per Vana'diel day''' (resetting at 0:00 game time) from a [[???]] in [[Caedarva Mire]] (H/I-7), in a small crevice behind a [[Jnun]].
+**You can use the [[Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point]] to bypass the need for a [[Lamian Fang Key]], but now that the key is so readily available at the ???, using the [[Ilrusi Atoll Staging Point]] is unnecessarily time-consuming.
-*Don't forget your [[Lamian Fang Key]] or some sort of skeleton key to open the Iron Gate.
+*Examine the '''???''' for a cutscene during which you are told to find a [[Hydrogauge]]. You cannot fish up the [[Hydrogauge]] before this point.
+*'''From this point on, [[Corsair]] does not need to be your main job.'''
-*You do not need a Lamian Fang Key to get to the ???. Using the Ilrusi Staging Point will get you to [[Arrapago_Reef/Maps|Map 2]]. From there, go to point A to get to Map 1. Then go to the tunnels using point m. That puts you on Map 6. Exit using the Iron Gate at G-9/H-9 to get to the ???.
+*Fish up a [[Hydrogauge]]. It will behave like any fished item, giving the message '''"You feel something pulling at your line."'''
+**It can be fished up from [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]], [[Al Zahbi]], [[Nashmau]], and [[Silver Sea route to Al Zahbi]], with any rod and any bait.
-) Examine the '''???''' for a cutscene.  You will be told you need a [[Hydrogauge]]. You cannot fish up the [[Hydrogauge]] beforehand.
+**[[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]] has the fewest fish to interfere with Hydrogauge fishing attempts. You can use any rod and [[Insect Ball]], purchasable at [[Wahnid]] (H-11).
+*After fishing up your [[Hydrogauge]], trade it to [[Leleroon]] at [[Nashmau]] (G-7), bottom floor.
-~From this point on Corsair does not need to be your main job.
+*Next, head to the [[Leypoint]] in [[Wajaom Woodlands]] at (G-8), and trade the [[Hydrogauge]] to the [[Leypoint]] for the message "You set the [[Hydrogauge]] in the glowing trench."
+**You don't need to trade this as a [[Corsair]], so the [[Leypoint]] can be conveniently warped to by any 60+ job using an [[Olduum Ring]].
-) Fish up a [[Hydrogauge]].  You can fish up a [[Hydrogauge]] in several locations including [[Al Zahbi]], [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate|Whitegate]], [[Nashmau]], and on [[Silver Sea route to Nashmau|the ferry between Whitegate and Nashmau]].  The [[Hydrogauge]] gave the text "You're positive you don't have enough skill to reel this one in."  with 0 fishing skill.  You will know it is the right one because the gauge will drop in about two seconds and the rod will not sway back and forth rapidly.
+*Wait one minute (Earth time) and reexamine the [[Leypoint]] for a cutscene.
+*Return to [[Arrapago Reef]] and check the '''???''' for a cutscene with [[Zweeha]] and your reward.
-*There seems to be a far lower (or impossible) success rate for catching the [[Hydrogauge]] if you have not flagged the Navigating the Unfriendly Seas quest. Please make sure you have the quest active before you attempt to fish.
-*This does not require any Fishing skill level, and can be completed with several types of fishing rod and bait.  See confirmed combinations below:
-*It is possible to fish up Hydrogauge from Al Zahbi, Whitegate, and Nashmau using a [[Tarutaru Fishing Rod]] and a [[Little Worm]].
-*[[Hydrogauge]] was fished up on first try with [[Halcyon Rod]] and a [[Little Worm]].
-*[[Hamsi]] likes to bite on [[Lugworm]]. To avoid catching actual fish, [[Little Worm]] and [[Rogue Rig]] are better choices.
-*A [[Composite Fishing Rod]] with a [[Minnow]] can also fish up a Hydrogauge.
-*[[Lu Shang's Fishing Rod]] with a [[Worm Lure]] also works, fished up in two casts from the dock in [[Nashmau]].
-*[[Halcyon Rod]] with a [[Minnow]] also works, fished up in two casts from the dock in [[Nashmau]] and [[Whitegate]].
-*[[Yew Fishing Rod]] with a [[Lugworm]] works in Nashmau.
-*[[Yew Fishing Rod]] with a [[Little Worm]] fished up from the dock in [[Nashmau]].
-*Fished up Hydrogauge on 2nd try with a [[Composite Fishing Rod]] and [[Little Worm]] while waiting for the ship to Nashmau. Gave the text "You have a good feeling about this one!"
-*A Mithran fishing rod with Worm Lure at Port Ephramad in Whitegate can fish up a Hydrogauge.
-*Caught with [[Willow Fishing Rod]] and [[Little Worm]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]] 2nd cast.
-*Caught with [[Clothespole]] and [[Fly Lure]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]], took 6 casts. Gave the message "You have a good feeling about this one!"
-*Caught with [[Fastwater Fishing Rod]] and [[Little Worm]].  Got the message "you have a good feeling about this one!".  Took 2 casts.
-*Caught with [[Yew Fishing Rod]] and [[Meatball]] at Nashmau dock, two casts.
-*Caught with [[Carbon Fishing Rod]] and [[Little Worm]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]].  Took 1 cast.
-*Caught with [[Hume Fishing Rod]] and [[Sabiki Rig]] in [[Nashmau]] after the fourth cast.
-) After fishing up your [[Hydrogauge]], trade your [[Hydrogauge]] to [[Leleroon]] at [[Nashmau]] (G-7).
-) Next, head to the Leypoint in [[Wajaom Woodlands]] at (G-8), and trade the [[Hydrogauge]] to the Leypoint. You will receive the message "You set the [[Hydrogauge]] in the glowing trench."
-(''Note: You don't need to trade this as a Corsair, so the Leypoint can be conveniently warped to by any 60+ job using an [[Olduum Ring]].'')
-) Wait until the following day (after midnight Japan time) and re-examine the Leypoint.
-) Next, return to [[Zweeha]] by once again examining [[Arrapago Reef]]'s '''???''' for your reward.  (''Note: You don't need to check this as Corsair.'')
-*Note: After completing this quest and flagging Against All Odds, you are able to get the next 3 pieces of AF, one by one, by selecting the Item from [[Leleroon]] in [[Nashmau]].Each Item will be crafted by an NPC, each in a different Nation, (first [[Windurst]], then [[Bastok]], and finally [[San d'Oria]]). In each Nation, you will be required to trade a few specific Items and Imperial Coins to a House and waiting till Midnight JST to get your reward. <s>These have to be done before doing the [[Against All Odds]] quest for the [[Corsair's Tricorne]].</s> To see the specific items, check out the individual pages for each [[Corsair]] AF ([[Corsair's Gants]], [[Corsair's Bottes]], & [[Corsair's Frac]]).
-*Further Note: You do NOT need to get the crafted pieces of AF before completing [[Against All Odds]] quest. I completed the quest before speaking to [[Leleroon]] at all, and subsequently got all my AF pieces (which you can get in any order!).
