............................
THE QUEST
1) ARCSTONE, ISLE OF THE SPIRITS: You are looking for Apprentice Mage Sarcrynn (Level 70).
Sarcrynn is located wandering about the area near the Relic zone line.
You do not have to have this task before you obtain the items, but I recommend that you go ahead and get it to save bank and bag space.
Simply hail Sarcrynn and follow along, or just try saying "What real magic" to select the task called "Black Orb of the Scrykin."
.
2) You now need to obtain thirteen (13) different orbs.
You can turn these Orbs in, as you get them (each one is a task step), to save bank and bag space.
Most of them are tradable, so you can obtain some of them from other players.
However, a few of them are No Trade and you will have to get them on your own... sort of.
Luckily, while the MOB's that drop the No Trade Orbs only drop three (3) such Orbs, these same MOB's are also part of raid tasks given by the Or`Sarro the Youngest (Level 72).
Or`Sarro gives out tasks to kill the six (6) surviving "Born" MOB's (only 6 of the original 13 are still live, per lore). These tasks are for both raids and groups, depending on the target.
While you can locate and kill most of the NPC's without a task (they are static spawns in static zones), you will only get three (3) Orbs as a drop on the kills, as previously noted.
If you get the task, everyone in the group or raid task automatically gets an Orb!
So be sure to get the task!
Or`Sarro the Youngest is located on the platform at the Relic zone line, in Arcstone.
Simply hail him and choose the task you desire.
NOTE: He may not offer you some tasks, until such time as you have completed other pre-requisite tasks.
- Black Orb of Daosheen the First (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6): This is a reward item from killing Daosheen the Firstborn (Level 80) in Skylance: Daosheen the Firstborn (raid mission, instanced) (detailed here). This raid event is for up to 54 people with a 6-hour time limit. The person requesting this task must have completed the pre-requisites (details here). This is the hardest Orb to get, hands down. This is an instanced zone.
- Black Orb of Porthio the Second (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6): This item drops off of Porthio the Second Born (Level 75). You will also have to deal with Nightshade (Level 75), who is part of the event. General strategy is detailed here. This same event is also part of the task called "Entrance to Daosheen's Chamber" (see here). This raid event can be obtained from Or'Sarro the Youngest, but you can do this event without the task (he is a static spawn in a static zone). This is the second hardest Orb to acquire.
- Gray Orb of Varo the Third (Lore, Weight 0.6):This item is a rare "trash" drop (Level 73 to Level 74) or from the Guardian of the Doorway (Level 73) in Relic, the
- Gray Orb of Ao the Fourth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is most easily obtained from various named MOB's (Level 65 to 73) in Arcstone, the Isle of Spirits.
- Gray Orb of Kallendro the Fifth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is a rare "trash" drop from various MOB's (Level 73 to 74) in Relic, the Artifact City.
- Gray Orb of Kazzanthar the Sixth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is a rare "trash" drop (Level 73 to Level 74) or from the Guardian of the Doorway (Level 73) in Relic, the
- Black Orb of Zomm the Seventh (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6): This is a raid event, but you can do this event without the task (he is a static spawn in a static zone). Zomm, the Seventhborn (Level 78+) is located up on the side of the mountain in Arcstone, the Isle of Spirits. He is surrounded by nine (9) Eye of Zomm (Level 68). Be sure you have levitate as there are a number of AoE's, one of which is a gravi-flux type knock back. The best way to do this event is to pull each Eye and mezz/root/snare/kite them near the raid. Then pull Zomm. As Zomm is being tanked close to the raid, kill each Eye, one a time (their death will drop Zomm's health about 7% each... and Zomm has a ton of HP!). You cannot kill the Eyes before you engage Zomm, as they instantly respawn if you do.
- Gray Orb of Taroknock the Eighth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is most easily obtained from various named MOB's (Level 65 to 73) in Arcstone, the Isle of Spirits.
- Black Orb of Sharlash the Ninth (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6):This is a group event, but you can do this event without the task (he is a static spawn in a static zone). Sharlash the Ninthborn (Level 71 to 72) is in Relic, the
- Gray Orb of Karkahn the Tenth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is most easily obtained from various named MOB's (Level 65 to 73) in Arcstone, the Isle of Spirits.
- Black Orb of Thanus the Eleventh (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6): This is a group event, but you can do this event without the task (he is a static spawn in a static zone). Thanus the Eleventh Born (Level 75) is way up top on the ramps in Relic, the
- Black Orb of Maru the Twelfth (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6): This is a group event, but you can do this event without the task (he is a static spawn in a static zone). Maru the Twelfth Born(Level 73) is in Relic, the
- Gray Orb of Morogone the Thirteenth (Lore, Weight 0.6): This item is most easily obtained from various named MOB's (Level 65 to 73) in Arcstone, the Isle of Spirits.
.
3) ARCSTONE, ISLE OF THE SPIRITS: Had back to Apprentice Mage Sarcrynn.
Give him the thirteen orbs from Step 2 (you can turn them in as you get them as well) and he will give you the Black Orb of Scrykin!
