Whm0j4 "The Wheel of Disaster" (White Mage job quest 4/6): implement from scratch (no script exists yet)

[swstegall]

Summary

Port quest Whm0j4 (id 111244, rank 15) — "The Wheel of Disaster", quest 4 of 6 in the White Mage job line (the arc that awards the White Mage Soul Crystal). White Mage derives from the Conjurer base class; this leg is given by Raya-O-Senna at her cave in the North Shroud. Per the transcript: after Raya-O recounts how the rage of the elementals ended the Fifth Astral Era, she sends you to free a band of arms-stealing bandits from a rogue elemental's grip — you put down Rowland of the Ninety-Nine Blades and his Bandit Butcher/Lancer/Grappler/Archer on the rope bridges over Moraby Bay in Lower La Noscea; in the aftermath Oha-Sok reveals herself as the elemental of nihility ("the Wrath"), harbinger of cataclysm — you return for Raya-O's reveal (reward: the Holy spell). There is no script yet — implement from scratch.

Reachability

Rank-gated to active Conjurer/White Mage at the required rank, enforced via #60. Within the line this follows #146 ("Lost in Rage") — gate on the sequential prerequisite so it is only offerable after that quest completes. The bandit-band fight is a per-quest combat leg built using the content-area pattern (working reference: man0g0 SEQ_005 / #28 — CLOSED/resolved).

What's needed

• Create scripts/lua/quests/whm/whm0j4.lua with the standard hooks (onStart/onStateChange/onTalk/onPush/onNotice/getJournalMapMarkerList/onFinish).
• SEQ_ACCEPT offer/accept from Raya-O-Senna at the North Shroud cave (refuse/accept branch text + Raya-O's Fifth-Astral/Sixth-Umbral history per transcript).
• Sequence: talk to Raya-O → travel to the rope bridges over Moraby Bay, Lower La Noscea → defeat Rowland of the 99 Blades + Bandit Butcher / Bandit Lancer / Bandit Grappler / Bandit Archer → linkpearl onNotice from Raya-O, then the Oha-Sok "Wrath / elemental of nihility" cutscene → return to the cave for Raya-O's full reveal.
• Build the bandit-band fight via the content-area pattern with real victory/objective detection (all bandits + Rowland defeated) — lean on helper Class/job quest enablement: reusable duty victory/objective-resolution helper (all-enemies-dead -> advance SEQ) #62, not a random-winner skip.
• Per-sequence SetENpc rosters + getJournalMapMarkerList markers (cave, Moraby Bay bridges, return).
• Finale: grant the spell reward and CompleteQuest via Class/job quest enablement: credit class/job rewards on CompleteQuest (skill points/rank, Soul Crystal, gil/items) #61.
• Derive exact dialogue/branch text and actor/zone ids from the Mirke/Gamerescape transcript during impl.

Reference material

• Template: scripts/lua/quests/pgl/pgl200.lua
• Transcript: grep mirke-menagerie-context.md under the "WHITE MAGE" section + ffxiv_gamerescape_1x_context.md for Loremonger:The Wheel of Disaster
• ids/zones/items: ffxiv_classic_wiki_context.md, ffxiv_mozk_tabetai_context.md
• Content/duty pattern (if needed): man0g0 SEQ_005 (Gridania opener (Man0g0 Sundered Skies) SEQ_005 combat tutorial softlocks: active-mode toggle (F / sword) is never dispatched to ActivateCommand, so the director blocks on waitForSignal(playerActive); allies stay knocked-out #28), enablement Class/job quest enablement: reusable duty victory/objective-resolution helper (all-enemies-dead -> advance SEQ) #62

Acceptance criteria

• file exists; quest offerable by Raya-O-Senna and completable start to finish by an eligible Conjurer/White Mage
• bandit-band fight runs as real content and advances from outcome (Rowland + minions defeated)
• reward credited on completion (Class/job quest enablement: credit class/job rewards on CompleteQuest (skill points/rank, Soul Crystal, gil/items) #61)
• no unregistered push triggers / placeholder 0 actor ids / undefined journal globals
• all four CI gates green

New file: scripts/lua/quests/whm/whm0j4.lua — prerequisite #146.
