| == Quest Overview ==
| |
| The Emissary of Asheron has you investigate the appearance of new portals inside Gear Knight dungeons which brings leads you to fight the Apostate Grand Director. You are rewarded with a triple Epic virindi mask. It helps greatly to have the [[Gear Knight Recall]] spell, or a handful of MMDs so you can use the portal summoned by [[Merkitz ibn'Akadh]] in [[Xarabydun]].
| |
| | |
| == Walk Through ==
| |
| ''NOTE: You do not have to talk to the Emissary after getting each shard if you don't wish to. After obtaining each shard you can retrace your way to the surface portal in each shard dungeon and head directly to the location where you use the shard if desired.''
| |
| # Speak to the [[Emissary of Asheron (Gear Knight Camp)]] at in the [[Direlands Gear Knight Resistance Camp]] to get flagged to use the first dungeon portal. Everyone must talk.
| |
| #* '''Route:''' Use [[Gear Knight Recall]] or give an MMD to [[Merkitz ibn'Akadh]] in Xarabydun to summon a portal to the camp.
| |
| # Run due north to a burrow entrance to the [[Gear Hunter Dungeon]] at 7.2S, 75.0W.
| |
| ## From entrance stick left until you come to a room with hallways leading down to the north and south.
| |
| ## Go north and down, at the next intersection go east (left). Soon after you'll come to a 4 way intersection, go north (left).
| |
| ## Stick left until you come to a six-sided room with a 150+ req [[Mysterious Portal]] and go inside.
| |
| # In this dungeon is the first of three shards you need. See map for the location of the [[Apostate Nexus Master (Level 220)|Apostate Nexus Master]] that drops nine [[Sparkling Apostate Shard]]s. Or follow the directions below for each intersection after the drop.
| |
| ## Straight (West)
| |
| ## Left (West)
| |
| ## Straight (North)
| |
| ## Straight (East)
| |
| # Once each person has a [[Sparkling Apostate Shard]] exit the dungeon. If you return to the Emissary and show him your shard. He will direct you to proceed you to the next section. To speed along simply go to the next step. The shard lasts 60 minutes so if you lose your shard for some reason you will need to get another one to continue.
| |
| # Run to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W (southmost of the three burrows around the Resonator device). Go straight at the intersections go straight, left, and finally turn right. You will find a Virindi mask attached to the wall of the right column. Use the shard and a portal will open, everyone go in.
| |
| # Once inside the [[Apostate Nexus (Scintillating)]], either stick left or stick right and you'll soon come to a large room with mana fountains at the bottom/end. Next to it will be another [[Apostate Nexus Master (Level 220)|Apostate Nexus Master]] that drops 9 [[Scintillating Apostate Shard]]s.
| |
| # When everyone has a shard exit the dungeon. Return to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W and stick left until you come to the room with the [[Iron Blade Warmaster]]. Use the most recent shard in this room to open a portal to the [[Apostate Nexus (Shimmering)]].
| |
| # When everyone has a shard exit the dungeon. Return to the [[Direlands Gear Knight Dungeon]] at 10.4S 75.2W and stick left until you come to the Virindi Mask on the wall next to the tunnel that leads down to the room with the [[Iron Blade Warmaster]]. Use the most recent shard in this room to open a portal to the [[Heart of the Apostate Nexi]].
| |
| # Once inside, stick left until you come to a large room, continue sticking left and take the hallway leading east out of the large room and continue sticking left until you come to a jump. At the bottom of the jump is the final boss, the [[Apostate Grand Director]]. He easily bugs by not leaving a corpse, if he does, wait for him to respawn and kill again. It seems to work best if you fight him in the middle of the room near the mana fountain. He also sometimes disappears before he dies (again wait for respawn). On death he drops a corpse (when it works) with 9 [[Shard of the Apostate Grand Director's Broken Mask|Shards of the Apostate Grand Director's Broken Mask]]. Kill again if more shards are needed. Once everyone has a shard, head back to the camp and give the shard to the Emissary who will reward you with the mask, xp, and a 3 use MFK. | |

| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Greetings!"</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been sent here to ask adventurers, such as yourself, to aid in a rather delicate situation my Lord Asheron has found himself in."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "He has learned that the disruptions endangering a small pocket of located Empyreans are tied to a set of growing Temporal anomalies, as well as direct interference by these 'Apostate' Virindi."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "To that end, he has located a confluence of overlapping temporal and portalspace disturbances in the Iron Blade fortifications to the north of here, as well as a defended portal in the caves of the Apostate Simulacra."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I have been given the means to allow you passage through the defended portal, but from there, it will be up to you to locate and end the disturbances, so my Lord Asheron may stabilize the area around the located Empyreans, and extract them from their present circumstances."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "There are several ... points, of greater disturbance within the Iron Blade's tunnels. we originally thought them to be due to the high levels of Aetherium, combined with the methods the Iron Blade Primus is using to control the portal pathway to his or her homeworld, but there are temporal anomalies mixed into the disturbances that lead my Lord to believe that they are related to the Portalspace that have prevented him from simply removing the group of Empyreans he has located..."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "My apologies, I do ramble on sometimes."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The short form. There's a portal in the simulacra cave we believe to be key to ending the disturbance. I can protect you from the barriers and wards upon it."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "In there, hopefully, you'll find the source of the problem, or something that will lead you through the points of greatest disturbance in the Iron Blade Tunnels."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Find the force or entity responsible, end it. Return to me with proof, and I'll reward you."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Any questions?"</font><br>
| |

| |
| | |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Hello again! Have you located the source of the disturbances that are blocking my Lord Asheron from rescuing the pocket of Empyreans he has located?"</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "We managed to detect several temporal and portalspace disturbances within the Iron Blade's area of influence, and believe that masked portals may be hidden within their tunnels."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "We also managed to locate a new portal in the deep cave the Simulacra have delved near to the Iron Blade fortifications, and believe that may be a good place to seek out what is needed to find the masked portals within the Iron Blade tunnels."</font><br>

| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "A fascinating piece of congealed energy. It does not look very stable though. I fear it would not long survive contact with the energies that animate this form."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Perhaps it can be used to open a passageway into portalspace, if brought to the correct area in the Iron Blade tunnels? It does resonate similarly to one of the detected anomalies within the tunnels."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I wish I could tell you more, but the Aetherium levels in the tunnels and in the Gear Knights make it difficult to pin down an exact location... Which would indeed be a great reason to hide something there..."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Good luck!"</font><br>

| |
| <font color=green>A throbbing pain forms in your mind and you hear, "You will pay for the mistake of interrupting our work here, fleshling. You'll beg for death before I finish with you."</font>
| |
| | |
| <font color=green>As <Player Name>'s final blow rends the Grand Director's cloak asunder, the creatures' mask shatters into multiple shards.</font><br>
| |

| |
| | |
| <font color=green>You allow Emissary of Asheron to examine your Shard of the Apostate Grand Director's Broken Mask.</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "This is amazing! I have never seen so much power packed into a small shard of Virindi mask like this before!"</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "The energy signature on this also matches the brunt force of the disturbances that have striven against my Lord Asheron!"</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I believe, I owe you both great thanks, and reward for the aid you have given me in my task. Ah, I have an idea!"</font><br>
| |
| <font color=green>The Emissary absorbs the shard, glowing brighter for a moment, and then pulls from his center a smaller mask, identical to the one the Grand Director wore.</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "This being was indeed at the heart of the Portalspace disturbances, but strangely not the temporal ones..."</font><br>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Emissary of Asheron tells you, "I will relay your success and these findings to my Lord Asheron. Hopefully, the temporal disturbances alone are not enough to further delay his rescue efforts."</font><br>

| == Notes ==
| |
| * The boss frequently doesn't drop a corpse on death. He respawns in five minutes, it seems to work best if you surround his spawn spot (the pillar of energy in the middle of the room) and don't let him move from his spawn spot.
| |
| * Once you complete the quest (turn in the mask shard) you lose your flag to enter the [[Mysterious Portal]] so you won't be able to help anyone with the quest.
