This is a quested augmentation, introduced with the Secrets of Faydwer expansion.
Acquiring it involves a series of tasks, faction and flagging (you must accomplish certain things before you can proceed further).
As you complete tasks you obtain nine various augs of negligible stats. However, in the end, they are all combined into a single nice Aug!
Some of these tasks definitely require indifferent or better faction with
NOTE: A number of these tasks share common camps/kills with the Cursed Obsidian Faycite and Eron's Jewelry quests/tasks. If you have task space and bag space, you may want to do these tasks (such as acquire drops, get kill credits, etc.) in conjunction with each other, when possible.
NOTE: This outline has you doing multiple tasks at the same time, as it saves time and effort. If you do not have task space, you can always do them separately. These tasks can generally be done in any order, with some exceptions.

THE QUEST
1) HILLS OF SHADE: This entire task series takes place in this zone.
This series actually starts with a dropped item.
In the northwest area of the zone, there is a small circular area populated by Aviak type MOB's.
You need to kill
.
2) Make sure you have room for a task, as you must have space for another task for this step.
Right click the Crude Satchel and you will get a task called "The Borrowers."
.
3) Now head to the Valor Camp and find Shearon (Level 80).
Give her the Crude Satchel to finish the first task ("The Borrowers") (
.
4) While you are here, locate Sister Daria (Level 80), nearby.
Hail her and follow along, or just try saying, "Lost," to get the task called, “How the Mighty Have Fallen."
NOTE: There is technically a task that leads into this one. I do not believe it is a required task. However, if you are not having any success with getting this task, try doing the lead-in task. The task starts in Dragonscale Hills. Walking along the main path you will find Sir Orwell (Level 80). Hail him and follow along (key phrase, "What brave souls?") and you will get the task called, "Bring Reinforcements." All this task involves is locating
.
5) Now head back to the Aviak area. You need to loot eight (8) items here, as follows:

· Four (4) Shiny Trinkets (Weight 0.8), that drop from various trash and named Aviak MOB's (Level 78 to 83);.
.
6) While you are here, run to the far back west wall area (near the "Ebontail" area, if your map is marked properly).
Run about this area until you get the location update.
.
7) While you are killing MOB's for Step 5, you will see a good number of A Decorative Fetish (Level 45) lying about (bone piles).
You need to open them until you find the Remains of Brom (Weight 0.8).
NOTE: You can /open A Decorative Fetish while you are invisible. The Remains of Brom will appear on your cursor, automatically. You do not have to drop invisibility or actually loot A Decorative Fetish.
.
8) Head back to and give Shearon the eight (8) items from Step 4, to finish the task ("Recoup the Coop") and gain your first reward: Transparent Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).
.
9) Now go over to Brother Veras (Level 80).
Hail him and follow along to get the task called, "Recycled Arms."
.
10) Now you need to locate A Mysterious Stranger (Level 80).
He is located directly south of
Buy from him an Eyes of Kirathas (No Trade, Lore, Weight 0.5). It will cost you about 54 Platinum.
After buying this item, wear it (face item). It serves to make you at indifferent to the "Kirathas" elves.
However, you will still need Invis or IVU to get around other MOB's in the area, so be wary.
.
11) Now head to the "Kirathas" area, located in the south west section of the zone.
You are safe here as long as you wear the Eyes of Kirathas.
You are looking for barrels called A Weapons Cache (Level 45).
You need to /open them until you have looted fifteen (15) Elven Armaments (Weight 0.8).
.
12) Now, using invis, levi and/or IVU, make your way to the island located out in the bay (far north, center).
On this island you will find Castell Cloudskate (Level 80).
Hail him for a task update.
.
13) Go into the tunnels by the most northern entrance. From there it is basically a matter of staying to the right to get to the area where you will find Cavalier Devolah (Level 80) roaming about the tunnel.
Hail Cavalier Devolah.
.
14) Head back to Brother Veras.
Give him the fifteen Elven Armaments to finish the task ("Recycled Arms") and claim the reward: Pure Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).
.
15) Now find Grom (Level 80), nearby.
You should now be able to speak with Grom and get the task called, "Undead Slayers."
If not, you will have to come back after Step 18 and repeat or accomplish part of Step 16 (for the necessary related kills).
.
16) Head back to the tunnels and set-up camp outside one of the entrances.
You may need a good group, to include a good puller, healer and a slower, depending on level / gear.
You are here to kill the following MOB's (pulled from the tunnels):
· Kill fifteen (15) A Crypt Ghoul (Level 81 to 83) ("How the Mighty Have Fallen" task);
· Kill twenty-four (24) A Risen Ancestor (Level 79 to 83) ("Undead Slayers" task);
· Kill sixteen (16) A Crypt Guardian (Level 80) ("Undead Slayers" task).
· Kill eight (8) A Slithering Shade (Level 81 to 83) ("Undead Slayers" task) (only a Druid or a Ranger can see these non-KoS MOB's; otherwise they can be pulled via AoE when the first room is cleared of other MOB's).
.
17) After you have killed fifteen (15) A Crypt Ghoul (step 16), you need to get back in the tunnels to hail Cavalier Devolah, again.
.

NOTE: If you were unable to get the task from Step 15, you can definitely do so now. You will need to repeat or accomplish part of Step 16 for that task, as well.
.
19) Now go back to Grom.
Hail him to finish his task ("Undead Slayers") and claim your reward: Light Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).
.
20) Now follow along with Grom to get his next task, "A Mysterious Bond" (key phrase, "I am interested").
.
21) While you are here, speak to Sister Daria again (key phrase, "Gone?"), to get the task called, "Where Has Sister Donna Gone?"
.
22) Now head east to the "Blackwater" camp (they are undead).
In the area of p1333, n387, Sister Donna (Level 80) spawns.
She is said to spawn once every 24 Hours at 8 EST (real time). If not, you can spawn her by pulling and killing the "blackwater" MOB's in the camp.
Either way, once you find her, hail her for an update.
.
23) Head back to Sister Daria.
Hail her to finish the task ("Where Has Sister Donna Gone?") and claim your reward: Smooth Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).

.
27) Speak and follow along with Grom again (key phrase, "What key ingredients?"), to get the task called "An Extract Science."
.
28) Just south and a little east of
You need to kill these MOB's (Level 78 to Level 81) until you have looted:
- Four (4) Cursed Bark (Weight 0.8) (from the treants);
- Four (4) Glowing Ichor (Weight 0.8) (from the golems).
.
29) Head back to Grom.
Give him the eight (8) items from step 28, to finish the task ("An Extract Science") and claim your reward: Shiny Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).
He will also give you an Undead Essence Extractor (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.8; 10 charges of "Extract Undead Essence").
You will need it later.
However, you can destroy it, as he will give you another when you actually need it.
.

NOTE: If you did not keep the Undead Essence Extractor from Step 29, Grom should offer you another one at this time. In fact, if you run out of charges on this item, you can go back and get a new one mid-task (you don't have to start over).
.
34) Head back to the tunnels in the middle south section of the zone.
You are here to "extract" the "essence" of ten (10) of the undead MOB's (any of them) from the tunnels.
To do this, the undead must be killed to at least 4% health (or less); you must be standing right on top of the MOB (seriously close); and then click the Undead Essence Extractor (from inventory).
If successful, you will get an Undead Essence (Weight 0.8).
Timing is essential, especially as a Paladin. I had more than one MOB killed by a riposte slay undead before I could use the Undead Essence Extractor!
.
35) Head back to Grom.
Give him the ten (10) Undead Essence to finish the task ("Carrion My Wayward Sprout") and claim your reward: Bright Celestine Faycite Shard (Lore, No Trade, Magic, Weight 0.0; 2 AC, 8 HP, 8 MANA, 4 Magic; Required Level 70; Type 7 or 8 Aug).
