Steps

• Speak with the Archive.

Journal

• Ketenramm is overseeing activities at the expedition base camp.
• You find Ketenramm presiding over an already well-established encampment, on the edge of which the Archive appears to have found something. The intrigued explorer bids you speak with the strange fellow in case he has pertinent information to share.
• The scholar-turned-tonberry excitedly pores over a heap of rubble, from which he produces a crystal for your inspection. The moment you lay eyes upon it, the Archive claims to have recalled all that he once knew pertaining to his discovery. Having thus unlocked a portion of his sealed knowledge, he explains that the crystal─a soul shard─affords the bearer access to the martial techniques and arcane arts of eld, and insists you affix it to your garb.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Ketenramm: Ye'd be hard-pressed to find a better location to stage an expedition than this. And to think we'd even find somethin' akin to an aetheryte.
Ketenramm: With any luck, there'll be a few more dotted around the isle to avail ourselves of. Make sure you attune with this one before leavin' camp.
Ketenramm: Speakin' of leavin', our advance party scoured the area and brought back a few bits an' bobs of interest.
Ketenramm: The Archive was appraisin' the cache, but he soon scarpered off and started pokin' around that heap of rubble. We'd better see what he's up to...

Optional Dialogue

Ketenramm: The Archive might've found somethin'. Let's hope he's not up to any mischief.

Speak with the Archive (cutscene)

Archive: There you are! I've got something...crystalline to show you.
Archive: Aha, just as I'd thought!
Archive: Because you laid eyes on the crystal, I was able to tap into my wealth of learning on the topic. This sealed knowledge business is awfully frustrating, I must say...
Archive: What I handed you is a soul shard from the Fifth Astral Era. Contained within is a phantasmal record of arcane arts and combat disciplines pioneered by the twelve city-states of eld.
Archive: I'm sure the methods you modern combatants employ are far more refined than those of my day... Nonetheless, you might benefit from learning the old ways of waging war.
Archive: Under normal circumstances, I'd find myself a soul shard and fight alongside you, but I can't access what's inside. Thwarted again by the seal that diminutive little scalawag spoke of...
Archive: Given that you were summoned here especially, I daresay you'll have no trouble using it, however. Go on, try affixing it to your garb.

System: The soul shard in your possession gives you access to three phantom jobs: Phantom Knight, Phantom Monk, and Phantom Bard.
System: These supplementary jobs can each be selected via the Phantom Job window while on the Occult Crescent.
System: Selecting a phantom job enables the use of job-specific phantom actions.
System: Phantom actions are displayed on the phantom action panel, from which they may be selected for execution.
System: Much like other actions, phantom actions can be registered to the hotbar.
System: You are currently a Phantom Freelancer. Select your chosen phantom job from the window to proceed with the expedition.
System: Speak with the expedition advisor here in the base camp, or Jeffroy in the phantom village, to learn more about the Occult Crescent.
System: “Phantom Jobs” has been added to the Occult Crescent guide.

Optional Dialogue

Archive: Considering the fact you were summoned to the isle especially, I wouldn't be surprised if the soul shard yields its secrets to you. I suggest you try interacting with it.

Ketenramm: The Archive tells me that crystal is filled with knowledge of ancient combat techniques. Might come in handy on yer excursions.

Ofangheim: I'm still surveyin' these fortifications an' checkin' the wilds for potential dangers. Nobody's leavin' until I'm finished, ye hear?

System: You are currently a Phantom Freelancer. Select your chosen phantom job from the window to proceed with the expedition.
