Saved by the Bell

== Walkthrough ==
This quest has several parts and is rather involved.
*Speak with Nhili Uvolep and she will ask you to go to Dho Gates to investigate "forces of darkness".
**Note: You can start this quest as any job, even though Idris can only be equipped by Geomancer.
**Note: If you are working towards an Epeolatry, you will need to complete or quit that weapon to begin working on Idris. You will lose all materials deposited if you quit, but you will keep your Broken rapier hilt key item, and can restart it immediately.
***However, after completing any part after completing part 1, before trading your Nodal Wand to Runje Desaali to begin the next part, any part of Quiescence may be started and finished without having to restart either quest from the beginning.
*Travel to (F-12) in Dho Gates (Map 1) and examine the Inlet of Whispers to receive a Rusted handbell key item.
**The Inlet of Whispers is surrounded by Apex mobs that agro sound.
**Waypoint #4 Foret de Hennetiel or HP is near the entrance to Dho Gates.
*Return to Nhili Uvolep.
*Speak with Runje Desaali (J-11) in Eastern Adoulin.
====Part 1====
*Trade 100 High-purity Bayld to Geosuke the cute little Leafkin in Eastern Adoulin at (J-10). 
**This can be done cumulatively. 
*You will receive the Emblazoned handbell key item.
*Speak with Nhili Uvolep again.
**You may need to talk twice or until she talks about the bell.
*With your main job set to GEO, examine the "Water of Whispers" in Dho Gates at (H-7) to enter a battlefield.
**Foret de Hennetiel Home Point is close to the Dho Gates entrance.
**This is a one on one against the Bygone Geomancer. Subjob and trusts are not available. There is a 15 minute time limit. No key item is consumed if you lose. The BCNM may be entered again immediately.
**She is immune to all damage at first and must be dealt with by destroying her luopans that she continuously throws down, up to three at a time.
**Each luopan destroyed will lower her health down by 4%, ultimately leaving her at 1% for you to finish off either with a spell or physical attack. Meaning that 25 luopans must be destroyed within the 15min time limit, destroying more will never kill the fomor.
**Highly recommend MP and HP restoration items and refresh drinks along with use of all abilities available to GEO. She will start casting higher tier spells (single target III-IV and -ra II) as her health gets lower.
***You can buy Coalition Ether and Coalition Potion for 2500 bayld each from Ujlei Zelekko in the Peacekeepers' Coalition which restore 150 MP and 200 HP instantly with no delay between use like other meds. Very useful for under geared players or if you just feel like spamming -ra.
****Macro '/item "Coalition Ether" <me>'.
****You may want to macro everything else needed also, spells ja's ect.
**Utilize your knowledge of the elemental wheel to quickly take them out, as luopans take severely reduced damage to all elements except the element that the element of the spell is weak to, and darkness damage.
***eg: a Geo-Slow luopan will take severely reduced magic damage from all elements except wind and darkness, as Indi/Geo-Slow is earth aligned and earth is weak to wind.
**As most do not take diminished magic damage from darkness element, using a staff and Cataclysm whenever possible can one shot all of the luopans at once except Geo-Languor. If your doing this and get Geo-Languor you should cast Aero Fire or Thunder.
**Another strategy is to set up a Geo-Regen bubble and use Indi-Acumen to mitigate the damage from the geomancer fomor and maximize magic damage to luopans. Geo-Regen is enough to fully mitigate/regain damage dealt by the Bygone Geomancer as she doesn't cast spells very quickly.
**Spamming tier I spells of the appropriate element and shying away from -ra spells unless they would deal full damage to 2 or all 3 luopans will allow you to finish the BCNM in time and not require any MP restoration items.
*After the fight, return to Nhili Uvolep to receive your base weapon, Nodal Wand I.
*The quest is technically completed after this point, as the quest is moved to the completed log, however this has no bearing on finishing the weapon.

==== Dropped Item ====
If you have dropped any stage Nodal Wand, you can re-aquire it at the stage that you are at by doing the following:
* Talk to Geosuke. You might need to talk to him multiple times. Eventually, Runje Desaali will ask you if you accidentally dropped the weapon.
* Answer Yes
* Trade 1,000,000 Gil to Runje Desaali and she will craft you a new Nodal Wand at the stage you were at. (Done with Lexeme Blade II, don't know if all versions cost the same amount of gil).
