Initial Quest

When this quest was first introduced, each server had advance through the gate stone dungeons located at the center of the Obsidian Plains and destroy the devices inside before gaining access to Aerbax's Citadel.

Purified Quiddity Ingots

BDC: Initial Quest > Blue Ingot > Purification Quest > Green Ingot

Ithaenc: Initial Quest > Red Ingot > Purification Quest > Purple Ingot

Knorr: Initial Quest > White Ingot > Purification Quest > Yellow Ingot

East Gate Stone

Location: 64.1S, 62.9W

Give the East Gate Stone a purified ingot. Yellow and Green ingots are known to work. This flags you to enter the three portals which surround the stone, the dungeon called East Gate.

The dungeon is long and linear, filled with high level shadows and virindi. There are four doors which must be destroyed as you move through the dungeon. The first door is guarded by the Drudge Protector. The second is guarded by the Mosswart Protector. The third is guarded by the Tusker Protector. The fourth is guarded by a Shadow-touched Virindi Quiddiox.

At the end is Aerbax's Device. Giving shadow droppings (specks, slivers, shards, and fragments) slowly disrupts the balance of the device.

As you bring the bit of shadow towards the device it seems to unravel in whirls of black dust that swirl towards the forks. You feel an unpleasant itching behind your eyes.
The device hums in a slightly discordant manner.

The Device hums, but you see the forks blur in discordant vibrations from time to time.

The Device hums loudly. The forks appear to be vibrating out of sync almost all the time now.

The Device hums and whines in rythmic waves. The loudly vibrating forks spark and rattle occasionally.

The Device whines loudly. You can feel your teeth wiggle in time to the vibrations. The forks of the device glow in an eerie way.

The Device whines and thrums. It is uncomfortable to be in the same room as the device now. Large discharges of red lightning occasionally strike the forks.

The Device thrums ominously. Constant discharges of red lightning strike the forks now. The whole structure seems to vibrate with the thrumming.

The structure thrums in time with the device. Red sparks coruscate across it wildly. Multi-hued fields wash the room. Waves of heat and sound punch you as you stand near the device.

The device stills. It emits an almost inaudible thrum. Its protective field shimmers and fails.

After enough has been given (approximately 100 fragments equivalent), Bonecrunch and Bragara, the Chosen One spawn. Killing Bragara, the Chosen One caused the device to reset to it's non-attackable version and Bonecrunch to vanish.

Bragara laughs uncertainly.
<Player Name> has destroyed the Prodigal Mosswart!

Bragara, the Chosen One says, Of all the Mosswarts I was chosen to reign supreme. How is it an ordinary human could beat me? Are you a god?

Killing the device causes the gate to fall and opens the North Gate.

The North Gate flickers to life and a bolt of energy pierces the sky.
Aerbax's East Gate has been deactivated by <Player Name>!
The Device explodes in a wave of energy!

North Gate Stone

Location: 63.2S 63.8W

Once the East Gate falls, portals appear in the doorways and you are able to hand another purified ingot to the stone, which flags you for access. The North Gate dungeon is similar to the East Gate dungeon in layout and main spawns (shadows and virindi) but the doors are now guarded by, in order, Elenmental Protectors of Frost, Fire, Lightning, and Acid. At the end is another Aerbax Device. After handing aproximately 100-120 shadow fragments Mudmouth, Dark Bobo, and Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen spawn. Killing the device causes the gate to fall and opens the West Gate.

West Gate Stone

Location: 64.1S 64.7W

Once the North Gate falls, portals appear in the doorways and you are able to hand another purified ingot to the stone, which flags you for access.

South Gate Stone

Location: 65.0S, 63.8W

Once the West Gate falls this dungeon becomes accessible. It is entirely empty until the final room where you find the emmissary, several diamond guardian golems NPCs, and the portal to Aerbax's Citadel. The Emissary requests 3 crystals from three Virindi Artificers that spawn at the other (west/east/north) gates. Once you turn in the 3 crystals your fellow is locked and you can proceed through the portal to Aerbax.

Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You haven't brought me the East Gate Harmonic Crystal yet."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You haven't brought me the North Gate Harmonic Crystal yet."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "You haven't brought me the West Gate Harmonic Crystal yet."
Emissary of Asheron tells you, "Return to me when you have them and I can send you and a Fellowship of your choosing through to Aerbax's Platforms above."

Aerbax's Citadel

The portal drops you on one of the platforms surrounding the citadel. Aerbax starts out in the center of the Citadel complex but as the fight progresses he will teleport to the outer edges of his floating facility (at every "1" of health i.e. 91%, 81%, 71% etc until 22% where he stays in the center). He does electric melee damage and has a nasty DoT effect that strips away health in increments of 20-40 hp as well as conventional spell attacks. Best way to fight him appear to be having everyone attacking with mages Tusker Fisting. Try to keep him in the center of the platform when he is around the edge of the citadel to limit the risk that he'll fall off. Occasionally he will teleport you so you drop into the center of the Obsidian Plains. When this happens immediately cast portal recall and you'll be back in the start of the Southern Gate dungeon. A couple minute run through an empty dungeon and you can use the portal to return to the fight.

When Aerbax dies a number of portals called "Return to the Emissary" spawn. So you can use them after you collect the reward item.
