== Walkthrough ==
*You must get the Cutscene from Cid for 6-4 before you can start the quest.
* Talk to [[Ghebi Damomohe]] at the [[Neptune's Spire]] to start the quest.
** Be sure to pick the first option or you will have to zone to restart the quest.
* Farm the chips in [[Pso'Xja]], and then trade them all to [[Cid]].
** The [[Gray Chip]] is dropped by [[:category:Diremites|Diremites]].
** The [[Carmine Chip]] is dropped by [[:category:Lizards|Lizards]] (Snow Lizards, Frost Lizards).
** The [[Cyan Chip]] is dropped by [[:category:Mimics|Mimics]].
**Tip: go to the tower at Beaucedine's F-7, where you'll find all these monsters.

*To repeat the quest later, just collect the chips again and take them to [[Cid]].

*You must have completed all the cutscenes for PM6-3 in order to obtain the quest from [[Ghebi Damomohe]]. Even though the quest is started in [[Lower Jeuno]] with [[Ghebi Damomohe]], the quest appears as a [[Bastok]] quest. 


Most chip farming occurs in two towers:
===[[Pso'Xja]] F-7 entrance ("Nue Tower")===
The [[Carmine Chip]] is usually farmed here, and often the [[Gray Chip]] as well.

* The [[Diremite]]s in the first room are the easiest chip mobs; they run 42-45 and drop the [[Gray Chip]]. The Maze Lizards don't seem to drop chips here.
* The G/H/L area in Basement 1 has 2 [[Snow Lizard]]s and 4 [[Diremite Assaulter]]s, all level 66-68.  Note:  It is possible to use ranged attacks to pull the Frost Lizards from below up onto the level where the 2 Snow Lizards live, and avoid dropping down while farming Lizzards.
* The L/M/N area in Basement 2 has 2 [[Frost Lizard]]s and 2 [[Diremite Dominator]]s, all level 74-76.
* The H/S/O area in Basement 2 also has 2 [[Frost Lizard]]s and 2 [[Diremite Dominator]]s.
* The M/V area in Basement 3 has 2 [[Diremite Dominator]]s and a staircase to the ground level.
* The N/O/P/Q area in Basement 3 has 2 [[Frost Lizard]]s and the elevator to the ground level.
* The S/T area in Basement 3 has 2 [[Archaic Chest]]s, which do drop the [[Cyan Chip]] if you're masochistic enough to fight them.  Be careful, even if they are hard to kill, the drop rate isn't 100%.
Elementals often pop in the chests' place. Be careful and pull the elementals away (between the 2 rooms is fine) from the coffers to pop. Bring a full party of 75s to be safe.

===[[Pso'Xja]] G-9 entrance (near [[Ranguemont Pass]] no level cap)===
The [[Cyan Chip]] is usually farmed here, and often the [[Gray Chip]] as well.

This map is a bit of a puzzle; the Stone Doors marked on the map require the matching [[Blue Bracelet]] or [[Green Bracelet]] ([[Key Item|key item]]) to pass through.
* When you touch the colored [[???]]s in I-8 on the upper floor (Blue) and H-7 in the basement (Green), the door closes behind you and two [[:category:Dolls|Dolls]] spawn and attack.
**The Blue [[???]] spawns [[Gargoyle-Kappa]] and [[Gargoyle-Iota]]; the Green [[???]] spawns [[Gargoyle-Lambda]] and [[Gargoyle-Mu]].
**The Dolls alternate between physical immunity and very high magical resistance, each doll changing weaknesses simultaneously. This is marked by a blue- or yellow-colored sheen on each mob, so be prepared to switch targets frequently.
**When both dolls are defeated, click on the [[???]] again to obtain the Bracelet.

* There are 6 [[Treasure Chest (Monster)|Treasure Chest]] mimics in these locations:
** Ground Level: In the F room and next to the chest spawn in NW G-8
** Upper Level: Next to the chest spawn in SE H-9
** Basement: In the E room and the room in NW G-8.
** And in the lower basement at the bottom of the elevator (no map).
** WHM spell barthundera seemed to cause these chests' death trap move to have only the poison or no effect when cast by a 75 WHM.  The stun effect seemed to be no longer present.  Data pool was about 10-12 chests fought.

* There are 3 [[Diremite Stalker]]s in the Basement in the hall running from I-7 to I-9.
* There are 4 [[Diremite Assaulter]]s in the lower basement.

===[[Pso'Xja]] I-7 entrance===
The [[Carmine Chip]] can be farmed here as well.

This tower also has 4 [[Snow Lizard]]s if the F-7 tower is overcamped.
