Walkthrough

You must change areas after completing the previous quest.

Kohlo-Lakolo will tell you Honoi-Gomoi wants the mana orb back.
Talk to Honoi-Gomoi in Windurst Waters, South (E-7), upstairs in the back of the house. He'll rant about the orb and Nanaa Mihgo.
(optional) Talk to Nanaa Mihgo and she'll talk about the merchant, saying you should just give him the orb back.
Find a Star Spinel and bring it to Honoi-Gomoi. This will trigger a cutscene and you will be given your reward: a Star Necklace.
- Star Spinels are Rare/Exclusive items that drop from Spelunking Sabotenders in Quicksand Caves.
  - You will need to pass through 2 weight sensors. The weight sensors can be activated by one Galka, or three Tarutaru, or any combination of 2 individuals that are Elvaan, Hume, Mithra, or Tarutaru. You can reach them by taking the entrance at (D-12) of Western Altepa Desert by taking the tunnel on the border of (C-11) and (D-11), which leads off the map. You can also find them in the caves outside the Chamber of Oracles.
- Or enter Quicksand Caves from Western Altepa Desert (G-5). You will need to pass through two weight sensors to reach the camp. The first at J-6. The second at H-7.
Like all Cactuar monsters, they can and will use 1000 Needles, which can cause significant damage to a solo player even at level 75.
Talk to Kohlo-Lakolo and then to Honoi-Gomoi to complete the quest.
