Walkthrough

After completing the previous quest and zoning out and back into Ru'Lude Gardens, speak to Anastase and select the first option to expand the warp options.

At this point, you must discover eleven Geomagnetic Founts hidden throughout Vana'diel by using the hints provided upon asking Anastase about his predictions:

Location Name	Details
Green Light	"A green light at the end of a dark prison" West Ronfaure (E-8) - must travel through Bostaunieux Oubliette to reach the fount. (900 EXP) Using the Unity warp (content level 122) places you directly beside the zone entrance. Avoid dropping down after zoning out.
Clear Waters	"A roaring dragon bound for clear waters" North Gustaberg (D-8) - must travel through Dangruf Wadi to reach the fount. It is on the north side of the river near the entrance on a rock. (750 EXP) (Optional) There is a Stone Monument for the quest An Explorer's Footsteps if you continue heading east into the cave at the end of the path.
Crowned Tower	"A tower crowned with the name of an orchid" West Sarutabaruta (F-4) - At the entrance of the Outer Horutoto Ruins, located on the platform above the staircase leading down into the ruins. (320 EXP) Taking the survival guide will cut the distance in half compared to leaving from Windurst.
Deep Cliffs	"The depths of cliffs that cleave plains in twain" La Theine Plateau (H-10), inside the valley, just outside the exit from Ordelle's Caves. You need to run through the caves and exit near Morbolger. (600 EXP) (Optional) There is a Cermet Headstone containing the Water fragment for Zilart Mission 5 if you continue going southwest to the end of the chasm.
Windmill	"The power to run through a windmill-dotted land" Konschtat Highlands (L-5) - must walk across the spine to reach the fount. (500 EXP) Taking the survival guide to Gusgen Mines will get you there quickly.
Dust Cloud	"The foot of a precipice where dust clouds rage" Tahrongi Canyon (I-9) - It's between a rock formation and the east wall. (500 EXP) The Buburimu Peninsula survival guide will get you close.
Lakeside	"Crimson shears sleeping by a forested lakeside" Jugner Forest (G-5) - must travel through King Ranperre's Tomb. (750 EXP)
Swamps	"Ceaseless raindrops in swampy land" Pashhow Marshlands (I-7) - SE corner, next to the Luremarsh in a puddle. (500 EXP)
Backbone	"A mountain range where dragon bones form an arc" Meriphataud Mountains (G-8) - NE corner of Square (500 EXP)
Crags	"Gigantic crags where undying feathers rain down" Attohwa Chasm (J-8) - At the top of Parradamo Tor. (900 EXP)
Silver	"A corridor hidden by a silver shield" Uleguerand Range (H-7) - At the top of the mountain, on the trail behind the Ice Waterfall that disappears when no weather is present. It is located directly next to Home Point Crystal #1 (2000 EXP)

After attuning the Prototype attuner to each of the 11 geomagnetic founts above, return to Anastase to complete the quest.
