BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATIONS

QUEST SERIES

Their serious lack of communicating, led to one heck of an undertaking! -- Bonzz

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Gates of Discord zones, the most challenging and involved quest is the series of 15 (fifteen) quests collectively called "Breakdown in Communications," or "BiC" for short.  

They are numbered 0 (zero) to 14 (fourteen).

A big thing to remember is that certain steps cannot be by-passed or accomplished in advance (re: turn-ins), but many of the looted items can be obtained far in advance. Therefore, I strongly recommend that if the opportunity arises to loot any BiC item in advance, do so (I have tried to note the steps that I know can be done in advance).

You must be Level 65 (required level of the aug) in order to successfully undertake these long and involved quests.

These quests play hand-in-hand with GoD Progression and Epic 1.5/2.0 quests, as they often involve the same zones and/or the same camps. Therefore, you can often work on multiple quests at the same time!

NOTE: If at anytime you feel you are stuck or are have a flagging issue, try saying to Fezbin "I need to rescout XXXX" (with "XXXX" being the zone in question).

UPDATE: Access to locked GoD zones have now been opened up by merit of level.

QUEST 0: "PRE-FLAG"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

1) ABYSMAL SEA: First, make sure you have a bag slot open.

Then you need to find Fezbin Fizzles (Level 70) in the area of n40 p60.

He will only speak to you if you are Level 65 or higher!

Hail him and follow along, or just say to him, "I would be interested in helping the Wayfarer's Brotherhood."

He will give you Vaifan's Experimental Sealer (Lore, No Drop, Weight 10.0, 4-slots, 0% weight reduction) and a Socketed White Crystal (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

Then say to him, "How do I make it more powerful?"

You are now "pre-flagged" for this quest series (BiC 1).

NOTE: You can destroy the Vaifan's Experimental Sealer, if you wish. To get another one when you need it, just hail him again.

NOTE: Most all of the BiC quest NPC's are generally in this same building (at the zone in, near the Magus).

.

2) Now find Taminoa Bialu (Level 70) (near Fezbin).

Hail and follow along or just try saying, "What is Qinimi?" and "What slaves?" This will start the next quest (BiC #1).

.

3) You will also need Vaifan's Clockwork Gemcutter Tools (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

It can be purchased from Glirina Morningbloom (Level 70), who is in the area of n147 p232.

It is FREE (no charge). You can get it now, or wait until you actually need it.

QUEST 1: "QINIMI TRIALS"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

4) QINIMI, COURT OF NIHILIA: You are after two (2) items here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

·        From Natimbi -- The Broken Shores zone line, follow the right wall to the area of p310 n1060. Use Invisible and you are probably okay. There you will find a ground spawn, Kreshin's Journal Page (identifies as "Last Words Of Kreshin Before His Disappearance") (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0). It is sitting on top of some rubble and looks like a book.

·        While you are here, kill MOB’s until you get the random drop of a Piece of Chalk (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0). It drops mainly off "Kyv" and "Noc" MOB's (all Level 55 to Level 60).

.

5) SEWERS OF NIHILIA, PURIFYING PLANT: You are after one (1) item here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

This is an instanced zone. You can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from High Priest Diru Riwirn (Level 50), who is in the building near the chasm that leads to Tipt Vxed. If you have not beat this event before, I recommend that you do so now, while you are there. The guide for Gates of Discord Progression is here.

If you have done the event before, you can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from Gamesh (Level 45), who is near the southeast corner of the pyramid (keyword "Plant").

Fight and kill near the zone-in (instanced zone) until you get a random drop called a Glob of Mud (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0). It is not that uncommon.

You also need a Processing Gizmo (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0)  (it comes into play much later, but since you are here...).

It can drop off of a Grimy Turepta (Level 64 to 67), Kril V'Lak (Level 65) and Ukun Packleader (Level 65 to 66).

.

6) RIWWI, COLISEUM OF GAMES: You are after one (1) item here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

You need to kill MOB's (Level 60-plus) here until you get Stonedust Particles (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

This drop is pretty common.

.

7) ABYSMAL SEA: Now find Taminoa Bialu (Level 70) in the area of n35 p60.

Hail him and follow along or just say to him, "What slaves?"

Then give him the Kreshin's Journal Page.

You will get back a different Kreshin's Journal Page (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

.

8) QINIMI, COURT OF NIHILIA: In the area of p256 n643, you will find Councilman Sislono Nislan (Level 50).

He spawns at 10 AM EQ time.

Be wary of aggro! The Ukuns can often see through invisible and so can the undead.

Give Councilman Sislono Nislan the Kreshin's Journal Page.

Now follow along with the text, or just try saying, "What items?"

.

9) Now give him the Glob of Mud, Stonedust Particles and the Piece of Chalk.

He will give you a Stone of Entry (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

You want to keep this, as it is the key to an event (area) you must do later.

.

10) You may want to form a decent Level 70+ group (slow, heal, DPS).

Head and/or fight your way to the middle and south section of the zone, into the building there (on the wall).

Inside you will see a raised platform area.

Go on to that platform and get ready for an event similar to the Plane of Justice Execution Trial.

To start this event, get the group on the back platform of the room, then put the Stone of Entry on your cursor and say (/say), "I wish to enter."

NOTE: Do not confuse this event with the 3-group raid version (below).

·         Only one (1) group can go in (in fact it is one group at a time, period... so if another group is already there, you will have to wait).

·         This is not an instanced event, but an activated event that is off the main map.

·         If you have a Qvic-geared or better group, this is an easy event.

·         The goal is to save Kreshin Silentcog (Level 70) from execution.

·         This is done by defeating five (5) waves of MOB's.

·         You have a total of 6 (six) minutes to complete each wave, to include looting! With the advent of Advanced Looting, this has been made easier.

·         If you fail, you are teleported out and Kreshin is executed.

·         As soon as you teleport in, you will see a number of MOB's around you (A Mastruq DecapitatorA Kyv Bloodhunter and the various named).

·         The first wave soon becomes active and three (3) MOB's will attack.

·         Defeat them and loot their corpses (they scuttlebutt is that you MUST loot the corpses or the next wave will not activate... and this is a timed event).

·         The second wave will send three (3) more MOB's at you. Defeat them and loot their corpses.

·         The third wave will consist of three (3) more MOB's. Defeat them and loot their corpses.

·         On the fourth wave, Pixtt Tixxrt Kvrok (Level 69, who has a single target slow) becomes active, along with two (2) helpers called Tixxrt's Guardsman (Level 68, has an single target 710 HP DoT).

·         You don't have to kill the two Tixxrt's Guardsman to spawn the boss (the fifth and final wave), so focus on Pixtt Tixxrt Kvrok.

·         Once you kill Pixtt Tixxrt Kvrok (there is a loot reward item on the corpse), the Executioner Hexxt Xocik (Level 55) becomes active.

·         Attack him right away, as he is poised to kill Silentcog.

·         Once he is dead, finish off the Tixxrt's Guardsman (Level 68).

.

11) After you win, hail Kreshin Silentcog and he will thank you and ask to see your Stone of Entry.

Give your Stone of Entry to him and he will give it back to you, along with a Writ of the Magi (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

You will be ported out momentarily, so be quick!

NOTE: If you loose, try again.

NOTE: Multiple people can do this step, if they all ready have their own Stone of Entry just be quick about it!

.

12) ABYSMAL SEA: Now go back to Taminoa Bialu and turn in the Writ of the Magi.

You will get back a different version of the Writ of the Magi (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

.

13) QINIMI, COURT OF NIHILIA: Go back to Councilman Sislono Nislan and turn in the new Writ of the Magi.

NOTE: You cannot skip this step.

.

14) Now you will now need up to a 3-group raid force (you may be able to solo it these days, depending on your level / gear) to complete another trial-like event.

Hail and follow along with Councilman Sislono Nislan (it appears you must follow the text to get the event).

The phrases are "Ritual," "She," "Promise" and "I am ready to face Xictic."

This takes place inside the domed area in the center of the zone (you will be teleported inside). This is not an instanced event.

You will face six (6) waves of MOB's and you will have 27-minutes, per wave (to include looting), to kill them.

At Level 80, this is not difficult, at all, especially.

The waves will be:

·         Six (6) A Chamber Guardian (Level 64);

·         Six (6) A Noc Flashblade and An Ukun Slaughterhound (conned Light Blue at Level 70);

·         Six (6) more (same as 2nd wave);

·         Three (3) A Ra'Tuk Decimator (conned Dark Blue at Level 70);

·         Kabeta Kret will also show up (Level 65, he has a 1K HP AoE, he will drop a loot item);

·         At this point, you will see four (4) Pixtt Xictic Krvne around the center of the room. Only one is the "real" MOB that you need to kill. My raid simply attacked them all, due to the time limit, and after two maybe three were down, the real one appeared;

·         Pixtt Xictic Krvne (Level 70). She has a Mezz that drains 100 mana per tick, an AoE 200 HP-per-tick DoT (that is also a slow) and a 1K Direct Damage stun. She will drop a loot item.

The goal for all of this is to loot Xictic's Bloody Robes (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0). Normally three (3) of these drop (off Pixtt Xictic Krvne).

If you loose, try again.

NOTE: You cannot circumvent the previous steps by looting robes in advance.

.

15) ABYSMAL SEA: Now go back to Taminoa Bialu and turn in Xictic's Bloody Robes.

You will be given a Dull Gem Shard (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

.

16)  Now put the Dull Gem Shard, the Socketed White Crystal (from the pre-quest) and Vaifan's Clockwork Gemcutter Tools into a Vaifan's Experimental Sealer and combine them.

You will get a Dull Socketed Crystal (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

Then hail Taminoa again and follow along the text, or just try saying, "What is Barindu?" to start the next quest (BiC 2).

QUEST 2: "BARINDU"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

17) BARINDU, HANGING GARDENS: You are after two (2) drops here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

You need to hunt A Noc Darklurch (Level: 55) and A Ra`tuk Screambringer (Level: 55) until you find Talwin's Journal Page 1 (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0) and Talwin's Journal Page 2 (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

This can be done near the entrance of the "Sewers" zones.

.

18) NATIMBI, THE BROKEN SHORES: You are after two (2) drops here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

You need to hunt A Hynid Fleshripper (Level 46) until you get a Black Hynid Bile (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

You also need to kill A Tide Feaster (Level 46) until you get a Yellow Tide Feaster Bile (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

NOTE: Steps 18 to 20 & 22 to 31 can be skipped as these steps are in place to simply make Step 32 easier.

.

19) SEWERS OF NIHILIA, LAIR OF TRAPPED ONES: You are after one (1) drop here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

This is an instanced zone. You can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from High Priest Diru Riwirn (Level 50), who is in the building near the chasm that leads to Tipt Vxed. If you have not beat this event before, I recommend that you do so now, while you are there. The guide for Gates of Discord Progression is here.

If you have done the event before, you can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from Gamesh (Level 45), who is near the southeast corner of the pyramid (keyword "Lair").

You need to hunt A Plague Fly (Level 63) until you get a Writhing Mass of Insect Larva (Lore, No Drop, Magic, Weight 0.1). This drop seems somewhat rare.

You also need an Oiled Cog (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0) (it comes into play much later, but since you are here...).

It can drop off of a Blistering Larva (Level 65), Rigara the Lost (Level 65) and Sludge-Eating Fly (Level 65).

.

20) SEWERS OF NIHILIA, EMANATING CREMATORY: You are after one (1) drop here.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

This is an instanced zone. You can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from High Priest Diru Riwirn (Level 50), who is in the building near the chasm that leads to Tipt Vxed. If you have not beat this event before, I recommend that you do so now, while you are there. The guide for Gates of Discord Progression is here.

If you have done the event before, you can get the instance in Barindu, Hanging Gardens from Gamesh (Level 45), who is near the southeast corner of the pyramid (keyword "Crematory").

You need to hunt A Sludge Lurker (Level 60) until you get a Vial of Corrosive Slime (Lore, No Drop, Magic, Weight 0.1).

You also need a Timing Gear (No Trade, Weight 0.0) (it comes into play much later, but since you are here...).

It can drop off Cryxtetl (Level 61), Diseased Larva (Level 65) and Slime Devourer (Level 60).

.

21) ABYSMAL SEA: Now find Opury Foop (Level 70) in the area of n107 n44.

Give her Talwin's Journal Page 1 and Talwin's Journal Page 2.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance, and should not be skipped.

.

22) FACTION: Faction with the "Nihil" will now come into play.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

You will need "warmly" faction for the next step and then "ally" faction for the step after that.

If you do not have good enough faction, you will need to do some hunting of "Kyv," "Noc," "Mastruq," "Ukun," and "Ra'Tuk" MOB's in various GoD zones.

.

23) BARINDU, HANGING GARDENS: You must have warmly or better faction with him (the "Nihil").

You need to find Proteri Amari (Level 40) in the area of p286 n12.

Once you have warmly (or better) faction, hail Proteri and follow along, or just say, "Who is Talwin?" (you get a yellow text reply).

Then say, "What opportunity?"

Proteri will give you a Simple Stone Band (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

24) Now find Kunimi Falade (Level 45) in the area of n30, n460 (north side of the pyramid).

She spawns at 4PM to 5 PM game time.

You need ally faction with her (the "Nihil").

NOTE: Some have reported doing this with "warmly" faction.

Hail Kunimi and then say "Proteri sent me."

Then give the Simple Stone Band to Kunimi and say, "What ingredients?"

.

25) Now give Kunimi the Black Hynid Bile, the Writhing Mass of Insect Larva and the Vial of Corrosive Slime.

She will give you Poisoned Fruit (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

26) Now, it is very important to do the following steps in order (up to Step 27).

The fruits appear the same, but they are not and they have to be given to specific NPC's in a specific order.

So if you try to turn in a fruit to the wrong NPC, you may have to start over again!

Head back to Proteri Amari and give her the Poisoned Fruit.

You will get back a different Poisoned Fruit (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

27) Now head to Abena Taifa (Level 46) in the area of p429, n640

Give her the Poisoned Fruit.

You will get back a different Poisoned Fruit (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

28) Now find Chiaka Lerato (Level 46) in the same building as Abena.

Give her the Poisoned Fruit and she should give you yet another version of the Poisoned Fruit (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

.

29) ABYSMAL SEA: If you followed the text / story line, you will know that a snag has come up in the plans.

So you must speak with Hamisi Lerato (Level 70) in the area of n191 p221.

Hail Hamisi and follow the text, or try saying, "Chiaka is alive." Hamisi will give you a Tattered Shawl (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.5).

.

30) BARINDU, HANGING GARDENS: Go back to Chiaka and give her the Tattered Shawl.

She will give you a Serving Tray (Lore, No Drop, Weight 1.0), walk away, and then despawn.

.

31) Now, for the next sequence of events, you need to be ready with a good, decent group to help you (this used to be a raid event).

First, you have to make sure Ikaav Ixvet Pox (Level 66) is up. She is in the middle far building, across from the Ferubi zone line. She seems to be on a 2-day spawn timer.

NOTE: She must be up for the sequence to work.

Clear the area outside the building/room where Ikaav Ixvet Pox is.

If you bothered with steps 17 to 29, go back to Abena and give her the Poisoned Fruit and the Serving Tray

She will give you Abena's Collar of Liberation (Lore, No Drop, Magic, Weight 0.5, Neck Slot, STR 10, DEX 10, STA 10, CHA 10, WIS 10, INT 10, AGI 10, FIRE 7, DISEASE 7, COLD 7, MAGIC 7, POISON 7, HP 100, MANA 100, All/All).

You will be able to retain this item, if you wish, as it isn't needed for the quest. It's just a reward.

.

32) Abena will then leave to serve the Poisoned Fruit.

She will be killed, as one of Aneuk Controller (Level 66 to level 67, perma-rooted) guards will taste the fruit (before she is allowed to serve it) and then kill her.

This will cause the six Construct of War (Level 65) to NOT attack you for the duration of this event... so leave them alone!

NOTE: This is how Steps 17 to 31 make this event easier… it eliminates six (6) MOB's from the event. If you did not bother with Steps 17 to 31, you can do this event without Abena, it is just a bit harder, as you will additionally have to deal with the six (6) Construct of War!

.

33) Clear inside the building (some MOB's are tethered) until you can fight Ikaav Ixvet Pox alone (she is perma-rooted).

Basically, you will kill the nearest Aneuk Controller, and then the Colossus of War (Level 66 to 67) will attack you. Once it's dead, kill the other Aneuk Controller, before you kill Ikaav Ixvet Pox. The only one of those that is not perma-rooted is the Colossus of War.

Nothing hit me for much over 500, when I did this (Level 70, 740 AA, Qvic-plus gear), but they do have a lot of HP.

.

34) Once done, Talwin's Remains (Level 1) (not "A Fallen Skeleton" as some other sites report) will become targetable (it has been there the whole time).

You have to "kill" it to open it (/open did not work for me). It is lying right there, in the room, where Ikaav Ixvet Pox was.

Loot Talwin's Final Report (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0)... there should be three (3) of them.

NOTE: You can do this in advance.

.

35) ABYSMAL SEA: Now go back to Taminoa Bialu and turn in Talwin's Final Report.

You will get A Shiny Gem Shard (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

.

36) Now put A Shiny Gem Shard, A Dull Socketed Crystal (from the 1st quest) and Vaifan's Clockwork Gemcutter Tools (which will be returned after the combine) into a Vaifan's Experimental Sealer and combine them.

You will get a Shiny Socketed Crystal (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

But before you leave, hail Taminoa Bialu and follow along, or just try saying, "What is Riwwi?" This will set you off on the next quest (BiC 3).

QUEST 3: "RIWWI"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

37) RIWWI, COLISEUM OF GAMES: Go to the arena area and kill until you get a Reyna's Bloody Earring (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.0).

It seems pretty common.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

.

38) FACTION: Faction will now become a concern again.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

This time you will need to attain "warmly" faction with the "Yunjo Slave Resistance."

Killing MOB's in the arena-area of the zone will improve faction, but it comes in very small increases.

The better way is to pursue the faction is via a quest involving your baking skills.

The more complicated (or higher trivial) the recipe, the better the faction increase (or so they say).

There are a slaves located about the zone.

They are:

·         A Thirsting Yunjo (Level 40), who wants any sort of Taelosian Tea;

·         A Starved Yunjo (Level 40), who wants anything made with Cragbeast Meat;

·         An Emaciated Yunjo (Level 40), who wants anything made with Crab Meat;

·         A Famished Yunjo (Level 40), who wants anything made with Tuna;

·         A Hungry Yunjo (Level 40), who wants anything made with Hynid Meat.

They despawn after eight (8) turn ins, so the trick is to give them four (4), three (3) and then four (4) at a time. This process will let you "sneak" in three (3) extra turn-ins. UPDATE: Now that entire stacks of items can be turned in at once, you may try just handing them four stacks (this is untested, but should work)!

Even better, you get some XP for each turn in (comparable to group XP)!

.

39) BEGGING SKILL: While you are at it, you will need to get your begging skill to at least 152, for a later step.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

The best way to do this is:

.

40) ABYSMAL SEA: Head back to Taminoa Bialu.

Give him the Reyna's Bloody Earring.

.

41) RIWWI, COLISEUM OF GAMES: You are looking for Namosa Bubundu (Level 41), located in the area of n218, n190.

She will not speak to you if you do not have warmly faction.

Hail her and follow along, or just try saying "What favor?"

She will give you a Scuffed Signet Ring (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

.

42) ABYSMAL SEA: You are looking for Pandula Bubundu (Level 42), in the area of p0, n150.

Hail her and follow along, or just give her the Scuffed Signet Ring.

She will give you Final Words (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

.

43) RIWWI, COLISEUM OF GAMES: Head back to Namosa Bubundu.

Give her the Final Words.

She will give you a Token of Understanding (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

.

44) QINIMI, COURT OF NIHILIA: You are looking for Councilman Tentric (Level 50), in the area of p285, n995.

Give him the Token of Understanding.

He will give you a Symbol of Faith (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

.

45) ABYSMAL SEA: Head back to Pandula Bubundu.

Give her the Symbol of Faith.

You will get a Drakelily (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

.

46) RIWWI, COLISEUM OF GAMES: Head back to Namosa Bubundu.

Give her the Drakelily.

She will give you Crescent Stone Amulet (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1).

You will also get a character flag (yellow text) (re: saving Namosa).

No one has yet determined why the Crescent Stone Amulet is given to you or if it has any use at all. It appears… to me… it was meant to be some sort of reward, but they forgot to give it stats... or it was meant to be part of the quest and was left out in later steps. I am inclined to believe the second theory, as the lore on the item is about "proof of kindness."

.

47) While you are here, you need to collect six (6) keys, as follows:

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

.

48) BARINDU, HANGING GARDENS: You are looking for another key.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

In the area of n112, p285, look for an Elongated Silvery Key (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.1), a ground spawn (in ruined building).

Then kill the "Aneuk" type MOB's in the temple area (Level 60 to Level 65), for a semi-rare drop of a Five-Toothed Silvery Key (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.1).

.

49) QINIMI, COURT OF NIHILIA: You are here looking for two (2) more keys.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

This one, a Blunt Silvery Key (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.1), drops off of either Rav Krixt Tekrik (Level 66 to 67), Pixtt Kerxek Vket (Level 58), Pixtt Krakt Ticov (Level 57) or Pixtt Trext Rexi (Level 57 to Level 59).

You are also looking for an Edgeless Silvery Key (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.1). It is a semi-rare drop off random "Noc," Mastruq," and Ra'Tuk" type MOB's (all level 55 to 60).

.

50) ABYSMAL SEA: You are looking for Rorrst (Level 52), in the area of p20, p85.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

Hail him and follow along, or just give him 25,000 Gold (you read correctly, but it has to be in Gold -- there is a bank in the zone).

NOTE: You may have to speak to Saney Jakis (Level 51, standing nearby) first, or Rorrst will not deal with you.

He will give you an Impression of a Key (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.1).

TOP

.

QUEST 8: "YXTTA"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

113) YXTTA, PULPIT OF EXILES: You are after five (5) drops here.

NOTE: It is odd that Yxtta came before Kod'Taz in this series of quests (because you have to go through Kod'Taz to get to Yxtta).

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

Zone in from via left entrance to Yxtta (from Kod'Taz).

In order to get to the "Primals" area (where you need to go), you will need to unlock the drawbridge door (rock wall on the far side of the golems near the zone in). This door covers a pit. If you fall in, simply open the door, go back into the golem area and then cross over again.

NOTE: If no Primals are up, it is possible that the door is all ready unlocked.

NOTE: Be patient. Even if you do the riddles correctly and / or know what to do, this sequence is on a bit of a timer and can take at least five minutes to complete, if not longer. It can also seem to bug out. However, I have noticed that even if you mess up, the answers you have completed successfully seem to stay answered. So keep going until you have answered 12 riddles.

If you do not know how to open this door here are some things to know...

If you zone in from the left entrance from Kod'Taz, you will see a circular area where there are golems along the outer walls and golems around the inner circle. The inner circle represents a sundial and is a clue to the answers for the riddles, which refer to the times of day (1 to 12) (even if the relevance seems hidden away in game lore, rather than logic).

The golems along the outer wall (light grey in color) will aggro, so you can kill them all or just use invisible to answer the riddles.

Along the walls, you will see six (6) little buildings (three on each side).

Inside each building is a little shrine. There are two little statues with "vases" on their shoulders (at the bottom of either side) and a "bust" holding a "platter" on the upper portion in the center.

Before you start, mark your map for the answers.

Each vase holder represents a number, 1 to 12. Each building has two broken-vase holders. They are arranged somewhat upside down, from your zone in perspective. So, after zoning in, the first building on your left has vases 1 and 2. Keep going around the circle in that direction and you should end back up at the first building on the right (11 and 12).

Now, click on any vase holder and a riddle should be emoted in red text.

To answer the riddle, simply go to the correct "numbered" vase, wait about 45 to 60 seconds and then click it. If your timing was right, and you answered correctly, you will get another riddle. If not, wait a little longer and try again.

At times you may see a yellow emote, that says something about the aura has faded. I am not sure what this means. I believe it may mean that the riddle for this broken-vase holder has been answered, but I am not sure.

There are about three different riddles for each "answer" (number 1 to 12). The answers are in the below table.

Some of these questions do not seem to make sense with the associated answers, but as long as this page has been up no one has let me know any of them are wrong. If you know some to be wrong, let me know and explain.

The drops you need are as follows:

- Xounii's Journal Page 1 (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), can drop off of most any "Primal" MOB (Level 68 to Level 70) and the innocent looking but very nasty A Cavernous Lifesipper (Level 68 to 72, it will morph into Tqiv Trusik Fanatic and then Xounii Shifter as you kill it); 

- Xounii's Journal Page 2 Left Half (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), can drop off of a Primal Arachnid (Level 70) and any other random spider type MOB's; 

- Xounii's Journal Page 2 Right Half (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), can drop off of a Pixtt Suir Mindrider (Level 70), Hexxt Huntmaster (Level 65) and any ukun-type MOB's near the "fountain" area (this area is actually off the right side from the zone in to Yxtta); Xounii's Journal Page 3 Left Half (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), can drop off of a Primal Insect (Level 70) and any other "insect" type MOB's; 

- Xounii's Journal Page 3 Right Half (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0), can drop off of a Primal Reptile (Level 70) and any other "cragbeast" type MOB's.

.

114) ABYSMAL SEA: Head back to L'Diava Rexxen.

Give her only the Xounii's Journal Page 1.

.

115) Now give L'Diava Rexxen the Xounii's Journal Page 2 Left Half, the Xounii's Journal Page 2 Right Half, the Xounii's Journal Page 3 Left Half, and the Xounii's Journal Page 3 Right Half.

She will give you a Translucent Gem Shard (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

You should also receive a character flag (yellow text).

.

116) Now put the Translucent Gem Shard, the Dirty Green Gemstone (from the seventh quest) and Vaifan's Clockwork Gemcutter Tools into a Vaifan's Experimental Sealer and combine them.

You will get a Translucent Green Gemstone (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

NOTE: If Kenra Kalekkio will not respond accordingly, go talk to Kevren Nalavat (Level 65), who is down the ramp, from the zone in, on the left, by a rock. Hail him and follow along or just try saying, "Twin Struggles" and then go back to Kenra Kalekkio.

NOTE: This step can be done in advance.

You are after one (1) drop here. This will involve defeating the mission, which you should do anyway, since you are here.

The item you are after is Kitren's Tattered Cloak (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

It is looted from A Pile of Bones (Level 1), after completing this trial. Rumor has it that it does not drop every time. I have never known to not drop.

First up, is "Martyr's Passage" (aka Ancient Relics) & "Investigate," which are accomplished at the same time (say both phrases to Kevren).

For details on completing these tasks, click here. They take place in Kod'Taz, Broken Trail Grounds (the static zone you are already in).

Once done, you can say to Kevren, "Progress update" and you should see a response along the lines of, "You've returned four relics from the Martyr's Passage!" and "You've recovered valuable information as to why the Muramites are in Martyr's Passage!"

If you don't, you missed something.

.

122) Next up is the "Temple of the Damned" & "Understand" events (they are accomplished at the same time) (say both phrases to Kevren, as well as saying, "Temple of the Damned").

For details on this event, click hereThey take place in Kod'Taz, Broken Trail Grounds (the static zone you are already in).

Once done, you can say to Kevren, "Progress update." You should see a response along the lines of, "You've recovered important Glyphs from the temple of the Damned!" and "You've successfully translated the Glyph's you found in the "Temple of the Damned!"

If you don't, you missed something.

.

123) Finally, the last event required here is the "Summoner's Ring" (say this phrase to Kevren as well as, "I think I can do it") (this is still a relatively difficult event).

NOTE: There are more events involved with progression, but this is the last one required for this quest.

WARNING! Before you do the turn in for this step, make sure you have said, "I think I can do it" to Kevren and then follow along until you get a flag notation.

For details on this event, click here. It takes place in Kod'Taz, Broken Trail Grounds (the static zone you are already in).

Once this event/step is accomplished, you can say to Kevren, "Progress update." You should see a response along the lines of, "You were able to recover a rare artifact from the Grand Summoner's goons in the Summoning Circle."

If you don't, you missed something.

.

124) Now say to Kevren, "I have done all you asked."

He will give you a Sealed Confession (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.0).

QUEST 11: "QVIC

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

130) QVIC, PRAYER GROUNDS OF CALLING: You are after one (1) drop here.

It drops off of Cynosure Kvanjji (Level 69 to 71). This was originally a raid event, but is doable with a single group (or even solo) these days.

First off, you need to kill the "fake" Cynosure Kvanjji (Level 69) (located in the same spot as the real one, in the "pit" area, just out from the zone in). If the "fake" Cynosure Kvanjji is not there, you will not be able to do this step (just keep checking).This one is an easy kill and it's death spawns the real one, along with four (4) helpers... the Vishai the First Arbiter, Svi'pral the Second Arbiter, Ytvagi the Third Arbiter and Qkav'd the Fourth Arbiter (all Level 70).

The basic strategy is to clear the area of trash, then kill three (3) of the four (4) Arbiter MOB's (leave one of them alive, otherwise they will all respawn instantly).

After three (3) are dead, take out Cynosure and then the last Arbiter. There are AoE's and DoT's, but at Level 75+ they are resistible and/or not too much worry about.

Cynosure will drop loot to roll on and one (1) to three (3) Shard of Dark Matter. Loot one.

NOTE: There is more than one "Shard of Dark Matter," so be sure you know which is which and use them in the proper order (they identify different).

Give him the Shard of Dark Matter.

He will give you a Condensed Matter Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0) (Identifies as "Pure Matter Extracted From A Faintly Glowing Shard").

..QUEST 14: "TACVI"

STATUS: Completed and confirmed!

139) TACVI, SEAT OF THE SLAVER: You will need an raid force (or a good group), as you are after Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax (Level 80), the final boss MOB of the GoD expansion!

You need to loot a Cracked Shard of Power (identifies as "A Shard of Dark Matter That Glows Brightly With Power") from  Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax, the "boss" MOB of the GoD expansion.

The strategy for beating Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax is as follows...

I) Kill all the other raid MOB's in the zone to "unlock" the doorways that lead to Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax room.

II) Once at his room, be sure to aggro (through the locked doors) and kill all of the "Mastruq" MOB's guarding the four (4) doorways that lead into the room (otherwise, they may aggro later).

III) You can see the "fake" Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax on a platform in the middle of the room, surrounded by a number of Living Phylactery (Level 74) MOB's; The Living Phylactery should NOT be attacked, ever! If you do attack them, they can Death Touch. They do turn and heal Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax, but this is mostly a minor concern, with decent DPS. They will despawn after the fake Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax is killed.

IV) Also, lying on the pedestals there, are two (2) An Ukun Biledrinker (Level 70) MOB's (they have no name showing... yet); They will "activate" when the fake Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax reaches 50% Health; They should be off-tanked (or killed). When the fake Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax is killed, they will despawn.

V) Once the fake Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax is killed, the real Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax will spawn on the back wall of the room.

VI) Understand that the "original" intent of this event, is that during the battle, Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax will "morph" into various forms (every 10% of Health), which are essentially the forms of the other raid MOB's in this zone (to include spawned adds), making it a tough event.

VII) However, today's DPS can allow you to skip many, most, or even all of the adds, as he "morph's.

VIII) The old strategy was to fight Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax down to 91%, have all DPS back off and let the tank(s) take him down to 90% so that he changes form (into goat form) and the Ukun adds spawn. Be sure to mez An Ukun Manasipper and not kill it.

IX) Then, have the tank(s) turn off attack and let Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax regen back over 91% (after he regens back over 90%, he hits for under 100HP). Now you have time to mez/rez/rebuff (if needed).

X) When ready, re-engage Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax and he will start to hit 6K plus again, after he morphs back into a goat (the adds will not respawn, as this is prevented by having An Ukun Manasipper mezzed.

XI) Continue a steady battle to 81% (make sure casters pace themselves); At 81%, it is time to go max DPS (nukes, discs, etc.);  The idea here is that maximum DPS can take his health down fast enough that while his "morphs" will happen, the DPS is fast enough to take him down another 10% before the related adds have a chance to spawn.

XII) If you don't have good enough DPS for this, you will potentially face four (4) adds... An Ikaav Hatchling (Level 66) at 80%; one (1) add at 70%; and An Unstable Construct (Level 65); The changes at 60% and 50% do not come with adds.

XIII) The next possible adds are two (2) Zun'Muram Mordl Delt (Level 75) at 40% (they can be by-passed as well, but don't expect this). If they appear, deal with them by having two (2) knights aggro and then kite them on the far side of the room, for the rest of the battle.

XIV) At this point, focus on taking out Tunat'Muram Cuu Vauax, as there will be no more adds.

XV) Lastly, kill the adds that are left, to win! Now loot your Cracked Shard of Power.

.

140) ABYSMAL SEA: Head back to Beanalle Banoam.

Hail him and follow along to help resolve any potential flagging issues.

Give him the Cracked Shard of Power.

He will give you Condensed Shard of Power (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0) (identifies as "Pure Matter Extracted From A Brightly Glowing Shard").

.

141) Now put the Condensed Shard of Power, the Smooth Black Matter Gemstone (from the thirteenth quest) and Vaifan's Clockwork Gemcutter Tools into a Vaifan's Experimental Sealer and combine them.

You will get Black Gemstone of Suffering!

Gratz, you have attained one of the true trophy items in the game!
