Blm0j6 "Always Bet on Black" (Black Mage job quest 6/6): implement from scratch (no script exists yet)

[swstegall]

Summary

Quest Blm0j6 (id 111266), rank 15, is the finale (quest 6/6) of the Black Mage job line — the arc that awards the Black Mage Soul Crystal (Soul of the Black Mage, reward credited via #61). It belongs to the Black Mage job (derived from the Thaumaturge class). Per the Mirke transcript, the player consults Da Za, Kazagg Chah, and Dozol Meloc about the mysterious "Solace of the Gods" before Lalai the Abject summons them to the Milvaneth Sacrarium: Ququruka has vanished, and Lalai's findings reveal black magic is the key to opening the Voidgate, not sealing it. The player rushes to Nald's Reflection (west of Camp Broken Water, southern Thanalan), where Ququruka has summoned the demon Barbatos; with the three beastmen allies clearing a path, the player slays Barbatos, hears Ququruka's deathbed confession, and receives the final artifact (wizard's coat). There is NO script yet — implement from scratch.

Reachability

Gated to active Thaumaturge/Black Mage at the required rank, enforced via #60 (cross-class unlock for the line: Thaumaturge Lv30 + Pugilist Lv15). Follows #154 (Blm0j5, "Gearing Up") as the immediate within-line prerequisite. The Barbatos confrontation is a combat duty built per-quest using the content-area pattern (working reference: man0g0 SEQ_005 / #28).

What's needed

• Create scripts/lua/quests/blm/blm0j6.lua with the standard hooks (onStart/onStateChange/onTalk/onPush/onNotice/getJournalMapMarkerList/onFinish).
• SEQ_ACCEPT/intro: talk Da Za, Kazagg Chah, Dozol Meloc about the Solace of the Gods, then the Lalai summon cutscene at the Milvaneth Sacrarium that reveals Ququruka's true plot.
• Travel leg: head to Nald's Reflection, west of Camp Broken Water (southern Thanalan); use WarpToPrivateArea/DoZoneChange to enter the duty.
• Duty via the content-area pattern (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): spawn Ququruka + Barbatos plus impeding fire wisps, the three beastmen allies clearing a path; real victory detection on Barbatos's death (lean on helper Class/job quest enablement: reusable duty victory/objective-resolution helper (all-enemies-dead -> advance SEQ) #62, not a random-winner skip), then the post-fight Ququruka confession cutscene granting the wizard's coat.
• WarpToPublicArea exit on duty completion.
• getJournalMapMarkerList markers for the consult NPCs, the Sacrarium, and the Nald's Reflection objective.
• Reward/CompleteQuest finale crediting the Soul of the Black Mage / line completion via Class/job quest enablement: credit class/job rewards on CompleteQuest (skill points/rank, Soul Crystal, gil/items) #61.
• Derive exact Barbatos/wisp/ally actor class ids, the wizard's coat item id, content-area id, dialogue event ids, and Nald's Reflection coords from the Mirke/Gamerescape transcript during impl.

Reference material

• Template: scripts/lua/quests/pgl/pgl200.lua
• Transcript: grep mirke-menagerie-context.md under the "BLACK MAGE" section + ffxiv_gamerescape_1x_context.md for Loremonger:Always Bet on Black
• 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 (via the line) and completable start to finish by a Thaumaturge/Black Mage of the right rank
• the Barbatos duty runs as real content and advances from outcome (victory on Barbatos's death)
• 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
