There is an immortal in the hallway in the Goblin junk shop (Lower Jeuno) which starts the quest. It updated my log, which looks like this:

- You MUST have the weapon equipped when you talk to the immortal to trigger the quest.
-If you on the quest "An Imperial Heist", there is no option for your weapon to be returned from Abquhbah. However, if you trade him a different nyzul weapon he will return your original. Note: He won't even hold on to the weapon you just traded him, so both will end up in your inventory.
Likely still worth calling a GM about since it's bugged no matter how you look at it.
-Nyzul random NM's may now drop weapons, in addition to the treasure chest.
-posession of a Runic key will allow useage of the new WS after 250 points are accumilated. Points are gathered just like previous weapon skill quests.
-with a runic key, after 250 WS points are accumilated, the WS will become available. Trading the weapon to the quest NPC will allow the WS to be used with any weapon of the same type. You WILL get your weapon back afterwards.
-There are 4 "levels" of completion that the npc will tell you so you can chart your progress. It is as follows:
-The number of floors cleared in Nyzul Isle decreases how many WS points it takes to unlock your weaponskill. A floor 0 disk means an excess of 14,000 WS points must be accumlilated to obtain the weaponskill. This decreases by around 160 points per floor of nyzul you successfully clear. The actual amount per floor is listed below.Dialog Table Entry 00520 Hmm...
I sense only a mote of energy p-p-present. You still have a long way to go, it seems.≺Prompt≻
Dialog Table Entry 00521 Aaah, yes...
I can feel a marked increase in energy compared to when I first held it. Keep up the good w-w-work, hee hee hee...≺Prompt≻
Dialog Table Entry 00522 Goodness g-g-gracious me!
The energy within is threatening to b-b-burst forth! It won't be long now, hee hee hee...≺Prompt≻
Dialog Table Entry 00523 You've done it! Energy is overflowing as though the floodg-g-gates have burst open!≺Prompt≻
- You CAN have more than 1 WS quest active at the same time. You must talk to the immortal with each weapon equipped on the corresponding job before you start collecting WS points. Different jobs show up as different entries in your quest log. NOT TALKING TO THE NPC BEFORE STARTING YOUR POINTS WILL GIVE YOU NO CREDIT TOWARD UNLOCK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
-If you have the started collecting points, and are still climbing Nyzul Isle, the weaponskill will unlock itself if your WS points match or exceed the amount needed for the current floor you just cleared.
-Your current skill level with the weapon does not matter. You may still obtain the weaponskill as long as you fulfill the point requirement.
-The good folks at windower.net have a download for the weapon checker, which shows you how many points you've accumilated. You must zone to see your current point value. I highly recommend going there for it.
-This is the list of points that are needed to unlock depending on what floor your disk is at. Thanks to Fwahm for writing this all out.
