| * As of the [[Secrets of the Apostates]] (May 2009) patch, you no longer need to do the this quest to gain access to Crystalline Crag. Previously this quest was needed to use the Resonant Portal to be portaled to Crag. | | * This quest was updated and changed over several months. Information is presented in the order in which it was released. |
| * This quest is changing every patch. | | * This quest is mostly retired. You can still access the first test portal through the [[Portal Space Time Travel]] quest. |

| | === Unfinished Business === |
| | # <font color=green>'''Optional:'''</font> Go to the [[Resonant Portal (Crystalline Crag)|Resonant Portal]] at 14.6S 62.2W. Double click the portal and you will get a green message but not be portaled anywhere. This will result in a slightly different response from the NPCs and the Test Portal but as far as we know does not give any benefit. |
| | #* '''Route:''' Use the Izji Qo's Portal Device at your mansion. |
| | # Enter the [[Mar'uun]] portal at 10.6S, 17.1E. |
| | #* '''Route:''' From [[Al-Arqas]], take the [[Al-Nosaj]] portal at 33.5S, 13.1E. |
| | # Talk to [[Marcus Manfried]] then [[Wren the Curious]] and he will direct you to enter the [[Test portal]] by double clicking it. |
| | #: If you didn't go to the Resonant Portal it will only portal you a short distance away. |
| | #: If you went to the Resonant Portal before you went to Mar'uun there is a chance you may get portaled to a strange area called the [[Portal Space Eddy]] where lots of portal space energy is flowing (it looks like the Portal Space dungeon from the Invoker quest). After a few seconds you will be portaled back to Mar'uun near the NPCs. |
| | # Talk to the two NPCs again and you will be flagged to enter the Resonant Portal. It will now portal you to the top of the [[Crystalline Crag]]. |
|

| === Reclamation ===
| | === Who Watches the Virindi? === |
| | |
| * In order to access the version of Mar'uun that is not destroyed you must complete the quest from the [[Picking up the Pieces]] patch. After you complete all 4 weeks and save Mar'uun then you can do the Rift Closing Quest.
| |
| | |
| # Talk to [[Marcus Manfried]] and he will direct you to [[Kaywin]], who will give you a [[Rift Opening Device]] and [[Rift Closing Device]].
| |
| # Now start looking for a a [[Portalspace Rift]], which appears on the floor as a little vent of colored gas. They are found all over Mar'uun, not just near the Test Portal area. They disappear after a short time (due to a decay timer) but always appear in the same places.
| |
| # When you see one stand near it and use the Rift Opening Device and you will be portaled into the elemental plane of whatever Elemental Rift you used (fire, frost, lightning, acid and they are color coded accordingly).
| |
| # When you land in a room use your [[Rift Closing Device]] to initiate a spawn of elemental creatures. Kill all of them and a Elemental Zenith will spawn. Kill it and you will be portaled back to Mar'uun.
| |
| # Repeat the steps above for 3 more elements until you have done all four then talk to Marcus for your reward.
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Picking up the Pieces ===
| |
| | |
| * The quest this month is drawn out over several weeks. You start the quest at Week 1 and do the what is required for that week then you must wait until a week timer passes before you can do the 2nd week part. The weeks are not tied to real time, they are relative to when you start the quest so people that started the quest 3 weeks ago are on Week 3 but if you start today then you start at Week 1.
| |
| * There is also some degree of divergence based on your choices. The consequences of the different choices are not yet known.
| |
| | |
| # '''Required First Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1 and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]]. This is enough to flag for the use of the randomly spawning Resonant portals.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <b>Week Four</b>
| |
| | |
| # '''Optional First Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1 and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]]. Go to the area above where the portal researchers are and find a hole on the wooden floor. Jump down to where [[Kaywin]] used to be and pick up the [[Scrap of Paper]].
| |
| # Run around the Direlands until you find a white Resonant Portal (no level restrict, no summon/tie/recall). They are known to appear at least in the Western Dires area (the Ayan and Lethe area).
| |
| # You now have two different '''divergent''' set of steps you can follow.
| |
| :# Hand your [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to Jean or Luc. They will keep the notes so you will be unable to turn them into to Marcus. They reward you with 250,000 xp. If you handed '''all''' of the previous Notes (Research Notes and Aetherium Research Notes) to the Virindi then they will give you the title ''Virindi Informer''.
| |
| :# Talk to Marcus and he will reward you with 750,000 xp and you will get the title ''Timeless Adventurer''.
| |
| :'''Or you can'''
| |
| :# Hand the [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to Marcus for 1 million xp and the title ''Timeless Aventurer''.
| |
| | |
| '''Once you have handed in the Aetherium Research Notes'''
| |
| | |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Give the [[Scrap of Paper]] to [[Kaywin]] who is found at her old spot by the Stabilizing Machine. She will reward you with 1 million experience.
| |
| #* '''Note:''' Kaywin still gives the "Missing Mechanisms" note when you talk to her, still takes alloy pieces, and still gives the appropriate experience for them. It is unconfirmed if she'll give out the Machinist's Gauntlets or how she'll handle it if you gave her a partial set before Mar'uun's destruction and attempt to complete the set now.
| |
| # Exit Mar'uun via the surface portal and use the Resonant Portal at the drop. It will portal you into a different version of Mar'uun before it was destroyed.
| |
| #* It appears this version of Mar'uun is identical to the version that was available during the [[Secrets of the Apostates]] patch (the month before the disaster)
| |
| #* [[Kaywin]] in this version doesn't know what to do with the [[Scrap of Paper]] but she gives the [[Machinist's Gloves Quest]] as usual.
| |
| # It doesn't appear that you will be able to enter the random Resonant Portal in the Direlands once you complete Week 4.
| |
| :<font color = cornflowerblue>There is no response from the portal.<br>
| |
| :The portal seems to be out of phase.<br></font>

| | |
| <b>Week Three</b>
| |
| # '''Optional First Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1 and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]]. Go to the area above where the portal researchers are and find a hole on the wooden floor. Jump down to where [[Kaywin]] used to be and pick up the [[Scrap of Paper]].
| |
| # Run around the Direlands until you find a white Resonant Portal (no level restrict, no summon/tie/recall). They are known to appear at least in the Western Dires area (the Ayan and Lethe area).
| |
| # You now have two different '''divergent''' set of steps you can follow.
| |
| :# Hand your [[Aetherium Research Notes]] to Jean or Luc. They will keep the notes so you will be unable to turn them into to Marcus. They reward you with 250,000 xp.
| |
| :# Talk to Marcus and he will reward you with 750,000 xp and give you [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]].
| |
| :'''Or you can'''
| |
| :# Hand the [[Aetherium Research Notes]] to Marcus for 1 million xp and the [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]].
| |
| | |
| '''Once you Have the Research Notes'''
| |
| | |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Give the [[Scrap of Paper]] to [[Kaywin]] who is found at her old spot by the Stabilizing Machine. She will reward you with 1 million experience.
| |
| #* '''Note:''' Kaywin still gives the "Missing Mechanisms" note when you talk to her, still takes alloy pieces, and still gives the appropriate experience for them. It is unconfirmed if she'll give out the Machinist's Gauntlets or how she'll handle it if you gave her a partial set before Mar'uun's destruction and attempt to complete the set now.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Allow Jean or Luc to examine the [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]]. They will not keep the Notes.
| |
| # Take the Research Notes to [[Ned the Clever]] in [[Zaikhal]]. He will hand you [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to deliver to Marcus next week.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| <b>Week Two</b>
| |
| # Run around the Direlands until you find a white Resonant Portal (no level restrict, no summon/tie/recall). They are known to appear at least in the Western Dires area (the Ayan and Lethe area).
| |
| # Talk to [[Jean]] and [[Luc]] at the portal drop. A dialog box will appear asking "Would you like to confront the Virindi about their presence in Mar'uun?". You can answer Yes or No.
| |
| #* '''Note:''' On at least FF, LC, and VT there are two identical versions of Jean. They both behave identically so its probably a bug.
| |
| # Proceed to the area where Marcus and Wren are. You'll notice Wren isn't in her usual spot but rather inside the nearby room staring at the wall. She doesn't say much when you talk to her. Also the Test Portal is now the Enhanced Test Portal.
| |
| # Talk to Marcus.
| |
| #* If you told him about the Virindi last week he will hand you some [[Research Notes]] and award you with 1,000,000 xp. He asks you to take the Notes to the [[Arcanum Researcher]].
| |
| #* If you didn't tell him about the Virindi last week he will hand you some [[Research Notes]] and award you with 750,000 xp. He asks you to take the Notes to the [[Arcanum Researcher]].
| |
| #* If you didn't do anything last week then you proceed with the Week One state and conversations; the Virindis are not there.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Hand the Research Notes to Jean or Luc. They will just examine them and give you some dialog.
| |
| # Take the [[Research Notes]] to any Arcanum Researcher in any one of the capital heritage libraries. The Arcanum Researcher will examine them and direct you to give them to [[Ned the Clever]] in [[Zaikhal]].
| |
| # Give the Research Notes to Ned and he will give you [[Aetherium Research Notes]]. He directs you to give these to Marcus.
| |
| # You must wait a week before you can enter the random Resonant portal again. So just hang on to the Notes until next week (the timer appears to be only 6 days rather than a full 7).
| |
| | |
| <b>Week One</b>
| |
| # Run around the Direlands until you find a white Resonant Portal (no level restrict, no summon/tie/recall). They are known to appear at least in the Western Dires area (the Ayan and Lethe area).
| |
| # Use the portal to travel to Mar'uun at a point in time somewhere during Coldeve, 20 P.Y, AKA February 2009, [[Unfinished Business]], the patch Mar'uun was first introduced. The Virindis Jean and Luc are not present, neither is [[Kaywin]] the machinist, and Marcus and Wren are conducting the original experiments.
| |
| # Speak with [[Wren the Curious]] and [[Marcus Manfried]]. During your interactions with Marcus, you are presented with the option to reveal to him about the arrival of Jean and Luc via a Yes/No Dialog Box.
| |
| # After making your choice, you will be told to come back in a week's time
| |
| #:<font color=green>You think you have already done everything you can here for now.
| |
| #:If time progresses in this lost place the people here will soon learn more.
| |
| #:It seems like a good idea to check back in a week's time.</font>
| |
| # The Test Portal cannot be used if you had previously used it several months ago. However, if you didn't use the Test portal back then you can use it now for the same old 1 million xp. The Test Portal sends you to its regular location, but in the present day destroyed Mar'uun.
| |
| #* '''Note:''' Some players have reported being able to use the test portal for 1m xp despite having done this before Mar'uun was destroyed. Perhaps it depends on which patch you used it?
| |
| # Once you've entered the portal and talked to the NPCs once you cannot return for one week.
| |
| #:<font color=green>There is no response from the portal.
| |
| #:The portal seems to be out of phase.
| |
| #:It seems that you may be in phase with this portal within a week.</font>
| |
| | |
| === Old Ghosts ===
| |
| * With the destruction of [[Mar'uun]], the Test Portal is still there, but does not function. Both NPCs are gone, 2 corpses can be found near the Test Portal...
| |
| * Pick up a [[Scrap of Paper|Scrap of Paper (Mar'uun)]] on the ground near where [[Kaywin]] once was.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| === Secrets of the Apostates ===
| |
| | |
| * During this patch the Test Portal has become unstable so no experiments are currently possible. Marcus says they hope to resume testing next month.
