=== Walk Through ===
* Make sure everyone from your fellow has a [[#Harbinger Items|Harbinger Items]] (see below) before starting. You must have


==== Step 1: The Tunnels ====
=== [[Essenceless Harbinger Quest|The Essenceless Harbinger]] ===
# From [[Yanshi]], run to either [[Issk]] @ 12.9S, 46.5E or [[Vincadi]] @ 12.6S 46.7E.
* "Weakened by destroying the Essences of Magic."
#* '''Note:''' Each NPC offers the same quest, however the lore is different for each.  Flagging with one will prevent you from accessing the other, so be sure your whole group flags with the same NPC.
* Introduced during the [[The Price of Loyalty]] event.
#* '''Tip:''' Soft tie to the surface portal @ 13.0S, 47.3E for convenience.  If you die, you'll want an easy way to get back quickly.
* Also known as "Harbinger Über".
# When your group is ready, everyone should hand their [[Harbinger Items]] to the NPC (either [[Issk]] or [[Vincadi]]) and then use the nearby [[Tunnels to the Harbinger (Issk)|Tunnels to the Harbinger]] portal to begin.
* You can also gain the crystallised essences for [[Essence Recovery]] during this quest.
#* '''Note:''' If you are already flagged to enter the dungeon you do not need to turn in an item before doing the quest. You can do the quest then find the item for the skill you want afterward. Also even if you have never done the quest before and you are not flagged to enter you may hand in any Harbinger item (a common one like a [[Wood Heart]]) then after the quest is done find the item for the skill you really want and hand that in then talk to the NPC. You will be rewarded based on the last item you turn in to the NPC before talking to them.
# Once inside, the dungeon is linear to the bottom (keep heading down).  The only obstacles are a series of 4 jumps that must be made.
# Choosing Vincadi means you fight through Sclavi and tentacles on the way down.  Choosing Issk means you fight Virindi and Tentacles.
#* '''Jump 1: Acid Pit''' - Full jump ahead (land on invisible platform). Hit the far wall.
#* '''Jump 2: Lava Pit''' - Jump into the pit and take the hallway out.
#* '''Jump 3: Ice Shelf ''' - Shift-jump down onto the platform above the ice shelf, clear the spawn, and wait for your group.
#* '''Jump 4: Ice/Acid Pit Combo''' - Dispell, then shift Jump down onto the ice shelf and '''quicky''' run to the edge and full jump across the acid pit (land on invisible platform).  Hit the far wall, preferrably above the door.  The ice ''hurts'', so be quick.
#* '''Jump 5: Staging Area''' - Shift jump down and quickly move to the south (near the portals).
# At this point, everyone should check buffs, and when ready, use the [[Harbinger's Lair]] portal to begin the fight.


==== Step 2: Harbinger ====
=== [[Empowered Harbinger Quest|The Empowered Harbinger]] ===
* "Harbinger with his full powers and drawing on the power of the Essences."
* Introduced during the [[The Price of Loyalty]] event.
* Also known as "Harbinger Extreme".


# When you get inside, someone should debuff Harbinger fully.  Start with UA/Strength and then Imperil, Slash/Blud/Pierce Vuln, Fester, etc...  He is basically immune to Elemental damage, but takes equal damage from all Physicals...thus, Pierce or Slash is the best way to go.
=== [[Aerbax's Prodigal Harbinger|The Prodigal Harbinger]] ===
# Rapid kills of the Harbinger are accomplished by holding him in place with a circle of archers, healers, and/or non-attacking melees...and then Tusker Fisting the crap out of him.  Pure attacking him is slow, as he has 500k+ hit points and is resistant to weapon damage.
* Modified Harbinger, an experiment by [[The Progenitor]].
'''Special Note''': The Harbingers are Elementals.  A Prismatic Atlan Wand thus deals double damage on them.  A Tusker Fisting mage with such a wand is basically equal to two of himself.  Having someone with life magic on hand to keep their mana full basically means he can nonstop Fist.
* Introduced during the [[Dark Materials]] event.
#* '''Tip:''' If you have low level players in your group, it is a good idea to designate them as fellowship healers.
# Throughout the fight, ''Hands'' will spawn.  Stop attacking Harbinger and team up on each Hand one at a time. The Hands are an Imperil Vulnerable creature...don't use Armor Renders or Vulns, they counter buff.  Imperil them and use standard physical weapons for best all around results.  They also take little damage from magic, so melee and archers are the best to kill them with.
## GREEN - [[Hand of Verdancy]]
## BLUE - [[Hand of Enchantment]]
## PURPLE - [[Hand of Artifice]]
## RED - [[Hand of Strife]]
# Once Harbinger's health gets below 50%, ''Essences'' will spawn around the Harbinger (Note: If he's backed up against a wall, only two or three might spawn!)  Stop attacking Harbinger and team up on each Essence one at a time. Essences no longer smite.  The fastest way to kill them is Armor Rend Elemental weapons of the opposed elements, although Physicals work roughly half as well.  For instance, The Purple Essence is best Acid Vulned, Imperiled, and then attacked with AR ACid.
## PURPLE - [[Essence of Artifice]].  Highest rate of fire, this essence kills a lot of people, because it never uses Item magic, basically war war war.
## BLUE - [[Essence of Enchantment]].  Debuffs, and uses Cold magic.
## RED - [[Essence of Strife]].  Fire magic and vulns.
## GREEN - [[Essence of Verdancy]].  Uses a lot of life magic, and no longer Smites (the Harbinger does that).
 
# When the Harbinger dies, loot a [[Harbinger Arm Token]] from the ground and then take the surface portal that spawns.  Taking the Portal is ONE OF THE FLAGS...you cannot teleport out!  If you do, you can't get the skill point xp!
 
'''Note:''' If you die, portal recall and run back to the [[Tunnels to the Harbinger (Issk)|Tunnels to the Harbinger]], near [[Issk]] or [[Vincadi]].  When you click to enter the portal it will ask you if you want to return to Harbinger's Lair. Click '''YES'''.

== Quest Overview ==
The medium one is where you first kill the Essences to weaken the Harbinger.<br>
Introduced in [[Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands]], the Essences were outdoor creature spawns, located near the Essences which were used to obtain level 7 Spells.<br>
The Essences were moved into a separate dungeon, the [[Essence Chamber]], during the [[Price of Loyalty]] event. Also, the [[Reflection of the Harbinger]] became part of the Easy version (See below), rather than the Medium one.<br>

# Take the [[Essence Chamber]] Portal
# Kill each of the 4 Essences, the [[Essence of Strife]], [[Essence of Enchantment]], [[Essence of Artifice]] and the [[Essence of Verdancy]]

# Combine the Crystallized Essences with 4 [[Decanter of Essence]]
# Hand the 4 Decanter of Essence of Artifice, Strife, Verdancy and Enchantment to [[Talar the Apprentice]] to receive [[Prismatic Oil]]. You can use the [[Prismatic Oil]] in the [[Prismatic Shadow Armor Quest]] to upgrade [[Greater Shadow Armor]]. You will need one vial per armor piece.

Talar the Apprentice tells you, "You still need to retrieve a sample of the Essence of Strife for me."</font><br>

You give Talar the Apprentice Decanter of Essence of Verdancy.<br>
Talar the Apprentice gives you Prismatic Oil.<br>

<font color=darkgoldenrod>Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Ah, Essence of Verdancy! It's a good thing this decanter is enchanted or the essence would have eaten right through it and through the floor stones and through the ground beneath. In fact I don't think it would stop until it reached its source."<br>
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Let's see, where did I put those enchanted gloves."<br>
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Excellent, more essence samples. These will prove invaluable in my continuing research. Let me mix your reward."</font><br>
Talar combines a small amount of each essence into a small vial of viscous red oil. He holds the bottle up to the light and watches as the oil clears and prismatic colors can be seen spinning in vial.</font><br>
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Here you go. This oil works on the same principle of elemental energies that the Prismatic Plume uses. Apply this oil to a piece of Greater Amuli Shadow Armor and you should be able to instill it with an impressive amount of elemental protection. If you would prefer a different reward then give me back the Prismatic Oil and I'll see what I can do."<br>
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "If you wish to apply the Prismatic Oil to one of the other Greater Shadow Armor pieces you should read this report we received from an Arcanum Researcher on Aerlinthe Island. He found a buried structure there which may hold the required intermediary you need to instill the other armor sets with the Prismatic Oil."</font><br>

<font color=green>
You apply the oil to the surface of the shield. The oil hardens into a hard prismatic crystalline shell. A soft glow surrounds the shield and storms become visible in the prismatic coating.</font>

== Quest Overview ==
The easy one is where you hand the [[Decanter of Nullified Essence]] to the [[Stone of Yanshi]] to do the original version of the quest, which was introduced during the [[The Iron Coast]] event.
 
== Walk Through ==
# Buy a [[Decanter of Nullified Essence]] from [[Beldin the Gem Dealer]] for 27p
# Everyone hand their Decanter to the [[Stone of Yanshi]]
# Different creatures will spawn, first a wave of [[Elemental]]s, next [[Child of Acid]], [[Child of Fire]], [[Child of Frost]] and [[Child of Lightning]], then [[Caustic Knight]], [[Galvanic Knight]]s, [[Incendiary Knight]]s and [[Glacial Knight]]s
# Then the [[Reflection of the Harbinger]] will spawn
# Kill it, it drops a [[Reflective Shard]]
# Hand your item to [[Issk]] or [[Vincadi]].
# Take the portal, you will find yourself in the original dungeon
# Creatures in here are slightly less difficult
# Jumps are slightly different
# There is NO portal to the [[Harbinger]], if you die, you have to start over
# Best is to keep a few healers on top
# With the [[Harbinger]], a few [[Elemental]]s will spawn
# No Essences, or Children
# Kill the [[Harbinger]], loot a [[Harbinger Arm Token]], and take portal which spawns after he dies
# Talk to [[Issk]] or [[Vincadi]] for 1 point in the skill
# Hand the [[Harbinger Arm Token]] to the [[Emissary of Asheron]] for the title "Champion of Dereth" and the [[Royal Coat of Arms Stamp]]
