Quest Overview
- In order to complete this quest, everyone must have an Elemental Talisman from the East wing of the Artifex Collegium, located at 91.9S, 93.7W on Singularity Caul. You will only need to do this once, as you can use the same talisman for future quests.
- If you have never done any version of the original Harbinger Quest, you will need a Harbinger Item to gain access to the Tunnels to the Harbinger.
- Note: The Harbinger Item you turn in makes no difference, because unlike the original quest, no XP is earned based which item you turn in.
Walk Through
Part 1: Tunnels to the Harbinger
- Just like the original Harbinger Quest, start by entering the Tunnels to the Harbinger, located next to Issk at 12.9S, 46.5E or Vincadi at 12.6S 46.7E.
- Note: If you enter the Issk side, you are restricted from entering the Vincadi side and vice versa. Make sure everyone in your fellowship hands their item to the same NPC.
- Once inside, the dungeon is linear to the bottom (keep heading down). The only obstacles are a series of 5 jumps that must be made.
- Jump 1: Acid Pit - Full jump ahead (land on invisible platform)
- Jump 2: Lava Pit - Jump into the pit and take the hallway to the North
- 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). The ice hurts, so be quick.
- Jump 5: Staging Area - Shift jump down and quickly move to the south (near the portals).
- This is a good place to rebuff if needed; if not use the Essence Chambers.
- After using the portal it is imperative that you look behind you and find a Hollow on the wall.
- Important: It cannot be selected by using Next/Closest Item keys; it can only be seen by hovering over it with your mouse, using a program that enables Dungeon Light will make this easier.
- After everyone has found the Hollow, and can easily recognize and find it again, everyone needs to take their Elemental Talisman and give it to four Hollows. Each of these four are located behind each of the four Essences. If you give it to the hollow successfully there will be a message in green verifying as much.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- You place the Elemental Talisman in the hollow and its blue gem shines with cold blue light.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- You place the Elemental Talisman in the hollow and its red gem burns with fiery light.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- You place the Elemental Talisman in the hollow and its purple gem flickers with arcs of electric light.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- You place the Elemental Talisman in the hollow and its green gem glows with caustic green light.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- Return to the drop and hand the last talisman to the wall right right behind you. You will be portaled into Prodigal Harbinger's Antechamber.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
- As you place the Elemental Talisman into the hollow you hear a distant unearthly cry. The wall quakes gelatinously and you are suddenly pulled through its horrible fleshy surface.
- You allow Hollow to examine your Elemental Talisman.
Part 2: Prodigal Harbinger's Antechamber
- You will be teleported to one of four alcoves, overlooking Harbinger and several of his Elemental minions.
- Note: Be careful, it is possible to take damage from the frozen cold when standing here.
- From here, its best to debuff everything in the room before jumping down.
- Note: Once Harbinger is attacked, anyone who enters Prodigal Harbinger's Antechamber will be portaled directly into the pit with Harbinger. It's important to wait for everyone in your party to portal in before you start to debuff him.
- Once you kill Harbinger, loot the Corrupted Harbinger Blood from the floor and use the surface portal that spawns nearby.
- Hand the Corrupted Harbinger Blood to the Emissary of Asheron, located at 12.7S, 46.4E, next to the Stone of Yanshi, for a gem, 15% XP, and Harbinger's Foci. You can hand the foci back for an additional 10% xp.
- [OPTIONAL] Hand the Corrupted Harbinger Blood to Vincadi to recieve a random chance of 3 different titles (Including Vile Betrayer, Spy and Meddler) and a drop to Fort Tethana. He does give you the blood back so you can turn it in to either Emissary of Asheron(see above) or Issk(see blow).
- [OPTIONAL] Alternatively, you can hand your Corrupted Harbinger Blood to Issk at 12.9S, 46.5E to receive a Harbinger Blood Infusion. You can hand the infusion back for an additional 10% xp.

Lore & Dialog
Vincadi tells you, "Greetings Isparian, I welcome you to my current location. I wish to convey certain fragments of information to you. The information contained within these fragments offers our assistance in the removal of a grave danger to your ilk."
Vincadi tells you, "We wish to aid you so that you are spared a most horrific death at the hands of a thing that, "should not be"."
Vincadi tells you, "Accept this small treatise and read the words of Aerbax to comprehend the stipulation of our proposal."
Vincadi gives you Experimentation.
You allow Vincadi to examine your Elemental Talisman.
Vincadi tells you, "This device... looks like an item I saw that Sclavus giving the Blood Witch. Perhaps you should investigate Issk further."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "The four Essences have sunken into the ground below Old Yanshi. The Menhir rings that once focused and held them have been overpowered by the Harbinger's magic and he now feeds from their power."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Yes, you look skilled enough to help me. I require a sample from each of the four Essences below Old Yanshi."
Talar the Apprentice gives you Instructions for Essence Recovery.
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "All of the Arcanum's attempts at collecting these samples ourselves have failed. Fifteen of our best agents were defeated in a recent attempt on the Essence of Verdancy. Find yourself a group of adventurers at least as powerful as you before you go anywhere near these new Essences."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "First, you need to retrieve four Enchanted Decanters from the Arcanum Research Facility outside of Al-Jalima. You will use these decanters to collect each Essence's essence. The details are in these instructions."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Good luck and don't underestimate the power of the Essences. They are raw magic after all."
The Prodigal Harbinger's death cry shakes the walls of the chamber, threatening to cave it in.
<Killer> has destroyed the Prodigal Harbinger!
You allow Vincadi to examine your Corrupted Harbinger Blood.
Vincadi tells you, "How did you obtain this substance? Have you been sneaking around the Essence Chambers?"
Vincadi tells you, "Tell no one of what you found beneath the Essence Chambers or you shall suffer far worse than this "Meddler"!"
You give Emissary of Asheron Corrupted Harbinger Blood.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Goodness, this befouled ichor came from the Harbinger?"
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "A different Harbinger you say? Beneath the Essence Chambers?"
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Lord Asheron must be informed of this immediately. Here take these trinkets I have gathered from the brave people who have fought the Harbinger and may those you meet know that you are a "Storm Rider.""
Emissary of Asheron gives you Harbinger's Foci.
You've earned 140,127,753 experience. (lvl 197)
You've earned 302,711,100 experience. (lvl 275)
Emissary of Asheron gives you Gem of Harbinger's Acid Barrier.
Emissary of Asheron gives you Braced Mana Forge Key.
The Crystallized Essence of Artifice is drawn into the Enchanted Decanter, liquefying on contact. As the last drop of essence is taken the decanter magically seals itself.
The Crystallized Essence of Enchantment is drawn into the Enchanted Decanter, liquefying on contact. As the last drop of essence is taken the decanter magically seals itself.
The Crystallized Essence of Strife is drawn into the Enchanted Decanter, liquefying on contact. As the last drop of essence is taken the decanter magically seals itself.
The Crystallized Essence of Verdancy is drawn into the Enchanted Decanter, liquefying on contact. As the last drop of essence is taken the decanter magically seals itself.
You give Talar the Apprentice Decanter of Essence of Artifice.
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Ah, Essence of Artifice! I can't wait to start testing this. These Essences react differently to various alchemical tests than the pure essence we collect from the Fathomless Chasm."
You give Talar the Apprentice Decanter of Essence of Enchantment.
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Ah, Essence of Enchantment! You didn't get any on you I hope. I theorize that this essence could have dangerous effects if it comes in contact with a creature. I'll have to be very careful while I'm testing this."
You give Talar the Apprentice Decanter of Essence of Strife.
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Ah, Essence of Strife! War in a bottle eh? I don't know where to begin testing this. I'll have to confer with some of the Arcanum's War Magic specialists."
You give Talar the Apprentice Decanter of Essence of Verdancy.
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."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Let's see, where did I put those enchanted gloves."
Talar the Apprentice tells you, "Excellent, more essence samples. These will prove invaluable in my continuing research. Let me mix your reward."
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.
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."
Talar the Apprentice gives you Prismatic Oil.
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."
Talar the Apprentice gives you An Ancient Masonry on Aerlinthe.
You give Issk Corrupted Harbinger Blood.
Issk tells you, "Exceedingly well done "Blood Seeker"... She who ssings to the world may find a use for this strange Harbinger's blood."
Issk tells you, "Our Mistress tells us that Aerbax has begun his experiments anew. Perhaps you have seen ssome of his children? The Harbinger has long evaded his attempts to uncover its secretss, but he may have discovered a way to control its energies. I must inform my Mistress of this new manifestation."
Issk tells you, "Here take this infusion and protective gem my Mistresss devised from the Harbinger's many gifts."
Issk gives you Harbinger Blood Infusion.
You've earned 302,711,100 experience.
Issk gives you Gem of Harbinger's Frost Barrier.
Issk gives you Braced Mana Forge Key.

You hand over 1 of your Harbinger's Focis.
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Where to begin... Oh, yes, It was long ago in a land far from here..."
The Emissary drones on and on and while you do learn quite a bit you realize there must be a better way to acquire experience.
You've earned 201,808,000 experience. (253)
