DISCLAIMER: This page is a translation of my French walkthrough, translated using Deepl translator for a quick english version. I didn't fix the translation (check EQ2Traders or Wikia for better wording). I didn't go out of my way to fix the layout either. Goal is to be practical, not perfect.

15 years after the release of Everquest 2, we are finally returning to Luclin! The Blood of Luclin extension, released in December 2019, adds a new third (110 to 120) and, of course, a craft timeline.

To be able to take it, you will first have to do the two prelude quests that start via an email sent by Duality if you are a level 110 craftsman.

 

---

Prelude Quests

Shopping list (in brackets, the list if you use the trick)

- 108 reef cluster (120)
- 216 silvered fleck (240)
- 225 nimbic hide (250)
- 225 dewpalm lumber (250)
- 225 strangler root (250)
- 252 sublime pulverulence (276)

To start this quest, you must be 110 in crafts. You will receive an email from Duality sending you the "a Vigilant Sanctum Key" key that will teleport you to the Hole instance containing the quest.

 

NPC : Head Scholar Nabihan (Duality's Vigilant Sanctum: Mythic Passage)
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: Carving a Legacy (récompense : girdle of the vigilant, belt of the vigilant)
Nabihan is in charge of the creation and loading of Propylones in Luclinite. Duality is concerned that the Shissar, currently blocked in the distance, are not returning to Norrath. Propylones are a portal mechanism, and the Nabihan must make 8 of them and therefore needs your help to make part of them.
Tip: To limit the time spent cooking, you can make several of the sub-components in larger quantities (if you have The Hand of the Maker or the Mass Production prestige feature). To do this, collect 40 raw planeshard and 40 annealed ethereal threads instead of 36, then make 10 Astral transposition fibril, 10 Metamagic Attuning Prism, 5 then 1 Quadrolith Glyph Key.

• Re- Collect the scroll allowing you to make the propylones (Luclinite Propylon Pieces Scroll). This is a rolled scroll that can appear almost anywhere in the instance and then write it down.
• Collect 24 unblemished quadrolite at Obulus Frontier (around Giant's Walk; -470, 88, 192)
• Collect 36 raw planeshard at Plane of Magic (in the Metetherial Plains, use the teleporter)
• Collect 36 annealed ethereal threads at Vesspyr (around Falinpol; 25, 196, -6)
• Return to the sanctuary using the key and pick up 252 sublime puleverulence (which spawn 2 by 2) and make the objects on the special bench below.
• Make 9 Astral transposition fibril (per piece: 4 annealed ethereal thread, 12 silvered fleck, 25 nimbic hide, 8 sublime pulverulence)
• Make 9 Metamagic Attuning Prism (per piece: 4 raw planeshard, 12 reef cluster, 25 dewpalm lumber, 8 sublime pulverulence)
• Make 6 Quadrolith Glyph Key (4 unblemished quadrolite, 12 silvered fleck, 25 strangler root, 8 sublime pulverulence)
• Make 3 Luclinite propylon (3 Metamagic attuning prism, 3 Astral transpostion fibril, 2 quadrolite glyph key, 12 sublime pulverulence)
• Go back to Nabihan who will compliment you on your work.

Teren's Grasp

NPC: Taith McJarun (Teren's Grasp ; 1989, 480, -863 )
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: Chasing Moonbeans (récompense : accès à Luclin)
After helping Nabihan open a portal to Luclin to stop a Shissar attack, you will be able to get through it yourself. But first you will have to help the researchers D.I.R.T.T.Y. (Dedicated Individuals Recovering Technology of Yesteryear, in French A.R.T.A Amateurs et Récupérateurs de Technologies Anciennes, dedicated to the research of esoteric or mechanical technologies).

- Talk to Alyse Ni'Hij in the Hall of the Crafters at Teren's Grasp (2210, 483, -728)
One of their main inventors has disappeared, and yet this is not the Benosch type. He left a message saying that he would stop the Shissar invasion on his own or at least find proof of their plans. Except that he's a little gnome and he's not exactly physically imposing (editor's note: that's why we eat them on skewers, by the way). Fortunately, he is able to invent any object from his environment, which could help him.
Since you plan to explore the other side of the portal, you can go looking for it based on the note he left, talking to the Wise Master and using the Mechanical Bidule Azoic Geological Material Indentifier (M.A.G.I.C., Mechanized Azoic Geologic Identifier Contraption (azoic = lifeless), also known as "Ironsprocket's Magic" after its inventor, which allows you to analyze your environment and create recipes based on what you own and what is around you. She will give you the recipe and a receipt to retrieve the components.

• - Talk to Gabin Baerea (2194, 483, -730) to get the components needed for Ironsprocket's MAGIE (you can buy more for a prohibitive price if you miss)
• Write and make the recipe "Ironsprocket's Mechanized Azoic Geologic Identifier Contraption" on a workbench with the components provided (a sniffer, putty to make it waterproof, an inventor's spiral to lower the melting point and a concentrated coal brick).
• Take the turns towards Luclin (The Blinding, at the top of the map)
• Find someone who has seen Benosch, in this case Nuniun Wolfbane (632, 427, -648).
  He did see a little man claiming to be brought to Nexus. Given his lack of politeness (and the fact that he talked to a barbarian), he sent him to the Shiknerd hive, uh, sorry, Shik'Nar, instead, where he might end up eating insect food.

---

The Blinding

NPC: Nuniun Wolfbane (632, 427, -648 )
Quête : Piercing the Darkness: The Sad Tale of Benosch Ironsprocket Part I (récompense : /)
If you want Benosch Ironsprocket back, you'll have to cook for the barbarian to refresh his memory.

• Collect 3 Rockhopper eggs in good condition.
  Go down the central ramp and search the Mons Letalis ravines where there are rockhoppers. Some are unfortunately broken. They can be tracked (example of locomotives: 386, 270, -214; 296, 270, -213; 205, 280, -211; -280, 221, -704; -301, 221, -815; -237, 215, -787; -343, 240, -711; -372, 249, -772)
  Note: don't pick an egg right under a rockhopper's nose or he'll hit you (missing his shots, but it's still embarrassing)



• Write and make the recipe "Three Rockhopper Egg Omelet" on a stove (3 eggs, 15 rockhopper meat, 15 slow creeping root, 15 radiant algae, 10 coruscating kindling).
• Go give Nuniun his omelette.

 

Quête : Piercing the Darkness: The Sad Tale of Benosch Ironsprocket Part II (récompense : /)
Of course, the barbarian is barbaric and jumps on the omelette to eat it and wants to take a nap afterwards, but he gives you the location of the hive if you insist.

 

• Go to the hive (jump from the platform to the southeast, then jump off the cliff and it's the big ball to the west in 219, 51, 111) but it's too well guarded.
• Collect resources around the hive (you need 100 harvests, any number of them, to be able to move forward). If you are made of foam, go up to the tray in 47, 51, 209 .
• Write the recipe and make an Insectoid Communication Jammer on a workbench (30 humming azurite, 12 hornbeam spruce log, 5 luclizite cluster, 12 coruscating coal).
• Enter the hive by clearing the way using the communication jammers you have made. (289, 38, 191 ).

 

Quête : Piercing the Darkness: The Sad Tale of Benosch Ironsprocket Part III (récompense : /)
Here you are in the instance of the hive [Shick'Nar Hive: The Sad Tale of Benosch Ironsprocket].

• Search the hive using the communication scrambler (and use it to harvest, there are a lot of nodes but they don't respawn)
• When you arrive in the first large cave, at the very bottom, you will find a bag, a pickaxe, a pile of soil and a book. Pick up the book and your MAGIC will be activated. (724, 34, 54 )
  
  
  
• Write the recipe and make at least 3 Advanced Lightning Tracker Mach I on a workbench (33 splitfin dartfish, 48 hornbeam spruce log, 36 humming azurite, 30 coruscating coal).
• Use the Lightning Tracker and follow the insect.
• Find a piece of paper lying around at the entrance of a tunnel (735, 30, 163)
• Restart the insect
• Find a piece of paper that has been ripped off (1011, 4, 191)
• Restart the insect
• Walk to the next cave where you will unfortunately find the possessions and body of poor Benosch (1092, 53, 321)
  
  
  
  
  
• - Pick up his book (Benosch Ironsprocket's Enchanted Field Guide to Luclin)
  - Go back to Nuniun (you will find a Shick'nar drone flying in Recuso Tor to take you back to the turns, in -645, 59, 333) who has the good taste to be sorry for leading the inventor to his death. He even suggests that you go and get his body back to give him a real burial. Talk to him about the book and ask him if he knows anything about it, but this ventrapattes doesn't know anything about it and advises you to go into town and find spell casters who know about books.
  - Go down to the ground floor to see if there is someone to advise you. Talk to Luminary Felferrin (655, 305, -544) who will advise you to go southwest to the Shik'nar hive...

Sanctus Seru

NPC : Luminary Felferrin (The Blinding, 655, 305, -544 )

Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: A Very Fortunate Turn of Events Part I (récompense : /)
After you realize that you have survived the Shik'Nar hive, the light immediately becomes much more pleasant. So he tells you to CONTOUR the hive and the cliffs to get to the stairs leading to Sanctus Seru. As it happens, its inhabitants are setting up trade exchanges between the Recuso (the former exiles of Sanctus Seru, those not adapted to the city) and Sanctus Seru.

- Enter Sanctus Seru (721, 57, 706) and go up to the floor via the left teleporter (-199, 86, 287)
- Enter the Manufacturing Hall ([Sanctus Seru: Manufacturing Hall] in -185, 179, 97)

- Talk to Hulda Flintbraid (148, -510, 4). It seems that the resources sent by the city of Recuso Tor are late.
As you offer your help, a messenger, Gibbons, arrives to say that there is a manifest problem for delivery. Hulda then spots the book in your bag and tells you that strange things happen to books here but that you should check with a magician. But she's not sure she can trust you. So you decide to take a craft test.
- Talk to Hilda again when you're ready, the test is timid!
Sit in the chair next to her and start the Test. You'll have five minutes to finish. You must not leave the Hall, stand or speak until the end of the test (i.e. the full 5 minutes)

o Who is the god of crafts and all that is forged?
Karana, Ayonae Ro, Varig Ro, Sullon Zek
o What small wood is used to make a Rockhopper omelette?
coruscating kindling, scintillating, moon dust or glimmering
o How much is 2+2?
17, 0, 4, blue
o What resources come from a coalesced stone cluster?
ore, roots, gems, Tegi
o What is the flight speed of a zelniak without load? (and no, there is no "European or African")
about as fast as a vespid, as far as they want, zelniaks don't fly, as fast as that

You will then return to the start window. You can check your answers and, when you are finished, ask for your results (top option - End Test and Request Your Grade).

- Talk to Hulda to get your results. She now trusts you, well, if you have more than 80%. Otherwise, repeat the test.

 

NPC : Hulda Flintbraid (Sanctus Seru: Fabrication Hall)
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: A Very Fortunate Turn of Events Part II (reward: recipe for the Sanctus Seru Formal Garb appearance suit)
Hulda is facing a dilemma, she has to go to an important meeting but she also has to solve ongoing delivery problems. So here you are, requisitioned to represent the Recuso craftsmen, you're going to have to dress up!

- Collect the ingredients for your clothes in The Blinding
o a Jumping Creeper (rare) on roots
o 32 common roots
o 28 Luclizite clusters on soft metal
o 12 Radiant Algae on bushes
- Make "Sanctus Seru Formal Garb" on a sewing dummy (1 jumping creeper, 32 slow creeping root, 28 luclizite cluster, 12 radiant algae, 25 coruscating filament).
- Equip the clothes (while in Seru or you'll have to unequip-reequip to get the door clickable)
- Go to the entrance of Arx Scala in Sanctus Seru, upstairs and enter the instance (door indicating "to Arx Seru" -194, 183, 0)
- Once in[Sanctus Seru: Party for One[Piercing the Darkness]], sit at the table. Lord Triskian Seru will give you a speach on the importance of purity, not to be afraid and on the safety of the city before talking to you. He wants to use your research for more noble purposes but refuses to tell you about his plans, but he hopes you will soon move into the new Recuso hall.

- Go back to Hulda in the Hall to discover that Luminaires have destroyed the supplies. But after having spoken to the other craftsmen, they swore that the attack came from Galorians who are big, stupid, dangerous brutes but unable to attack a walled city[editor's note: like Gratou what]. It seems there is magic behind all this, perhaps the same magic that makes my book change. This should be studied.
- Look at your book in the Fabrication Hall

 

 

Starter : examine Benosch Ironsprocket's Enchanted Field Guide to Luclin IN Fabrication Hall
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: A Very Fortunate Turn of Events Part III (récompense : appearance weapon: Hooked Gardening Tool)
Get out of the city to see what changes in your book depending on the location.

- Find 5 different places other than Recuso Tor to examine your book

o A Seru's Ascent: on the stairs to Sanctus Seru (686, 51, 666)
o A Marus Plateaus: in the hills with the Zelniaks on leaving Sanctus Pass above The Dawdling Pools (-9, 69, 272)
o Teeming Caldera: in the trench between the hive and Recuso Tor (-44, 12, 69)
o A Recuso Tor (-568, 33, 374)
o At Grieg's Spire: at the turns at the entrance to the area (614, 428, -580). Do an evac or use the drone in -646, 59, 333 .

- Go back to Hulda.
Indeed, the book has changed depending on the location, and you even found an entry from Benosh's hand at the end. It seems he did not voluntarily enter Shik'nar Hive. He was before in a city with large walls in which he felt the welcome and apprehension in faith. So he was in Sanctus Seru, he met people in dresses, and after following them, they took an egg from him and knocked him out. When he woke up, he was in the Shik'Nar nest!
- Return to The Blinding and bring Hulda's letter to Dani the Wright, in Recuso Tor (-585, 38, 451). She asked him to give you access to her research because Dani is the lead researcher for the Recuso.
Dani, as its name suggests, is the public search assistant for the extension, and will give you missions when you have advanced enough in the timeline.

• o Recuso Tor (-568, 33, 374)
  o Grieg's Spire (614, 428, -580)
  o Teeming Caldera (-44, 12, 69)
  o Marus Plateaus (-9, 69, 272)
  o Seru's Ascent (686, 51, 666)
  



- Check the book again at 5 places already visited to see if the text still changes, and indeed, it is now almost readable!
- Go to the Aurelian Coast by taking the branch from right to bottom of the stairs (722, 40, 615)

Aurelian Coast

Starter : Examine the book in Aurelian Coast
Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Gifts from the Great Beyond Part I (récompense : /)
It seems that nothing is exactly as it seems. Near Boneyard Bog, for example, the author saw a cute creature that turned out to have huge teeth! He and his colleagues found a dark liquid oozing from the ground. A single drop can dispel illusions on rocks. From this liquid, they succeeded in creating a potion that would make the subject insensitive to illusions.

• - Go explore the swamp area to see if you find anything out of the ordinary. It is at the very end, after the forest (which is NOT a swamp, m'kay?), where the river flows into the sea.
  - You will find shells at the water's edge. They are traceable and are called "myseterious object". As with eggs, they are sometimes broken and you will have broken objects instead (possible locs: -169, 2, -46 ; -218, 5, -15 ; -283, 3, -24 ; -328, 3, -117 ; -330, 2, -165)
  - Once collected, you will receive a recipe to make anti-illusion potions.
  
  
  

• - Build an Advanced Lightning Tracker Mach I on a workbench (26 splitfin dartfish, 32 hornbeam spruce logs, 24 humming azurite, 25 coruscating coal)
  - Use the tracker.... It doesn't work!
  - Maybe the M.A.G.I.C. can help you!
  Check out Ironsprocket's M.A.G.I.C. Device to finish the quest and come up with an idea!

 

Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Gifts from the Great Beyond Part II (récompense : /)
MAGIC helped you! Here you are with an improved tracker recipe!

- Make another Advanced Lightning Tracker Mach I on a workbench (26 splitfin dartfish, 32 hornbeam spruce logs, 24 humming azurite, 25 coruscating coal)
advice: make 5 of them at once
- Collect 25 splitfin dartfish 32 hornbeam spruce logs and 24 humming azurite
- Make an advanced lightning tracker Mach II on a bench (Advanced Lightning Tracker Mach I, 25 splitfin dartfish, 32 hornbeam spruce logs, 24 humming azurite, 25 coruscating coal)
advice: make 5 of them at once
Try to use it.... This time it's okay!

 

Quête : Piercing the Darkness: Gifts from the Great Beyond Part III (récompense : /)
Examine the Advanced Lightning Tracker Mach II.

Fordel Midst

Starter: Examinez "Effigy of a Knight of Shadow Haven"
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: Marketplace of Horrors Part I (récompense : /)
One of the mysterious objects you found was a relic from Shadow Haven. You should investigate how an object so loaded with illusionist magic ended up on this beach.

- Enter[Fordel Midst: Investigating the Shadow Haven] from the tunnel in 138, 87, -496 and then the left gate: evacuate, cross the Zelniaks area and then try to cross the sambata area by the river or along the walls but be very careful. When you arrive around 140, 63, -367, you will see two purplish walls, aim for the one on the left to reach the tunnel.
- Find the bookstore. The transporter and the entrance door are not functional so turn right. Why is this area so empty??? It is a great mystery and the solution may lie further away.
Be careful, avoid the orange ballot boxes to keep your mind focused!

• When you arrive at the bottom of the stairs (698, -22, -582), you hear a noise coming from the northeast. But it is impossible to go there so continue to the left and then to the gallery where you feel a wave of energy before disturbing something. Take the most right-hand path you will find up to the bookstore (741, -8, -712)
• Look for a useful book in all those scattered (772, -8, -739)
  
  
  
  
  
• Collect spectral essences from Fordel (726, -8, -760; 633, -8, -659; etc) and Midst (727, -8, -707; ). They are trackable. You'll need 8 of each, so 4 nodes.
  
  
  
  
  
• You will receive the book "Spectral Recipes" and can make the "True-Sight Sprectacles" on one of the benches in the area using the coal found in the bin next to it (792, -8, -761 and 792, -8, -706) (1 Spectral essence of Midst, 3 spectral essence of Fordel, 12 luclizite cluster, 12 humming azurite, 10 spectral coruscating coal)
  
  
  
  
• Find a different way out than the one you came in through. You will need the other recipes in the book to survive. Make them
  • Spectral Lure (1 Spectral essence of Fordel, 3 spectral essence of Midst, 12 slow creeping root, 12 radiant algae, 10 spectral coruscating coal)
  • Spectral Phasing Spray (1 Spectral essence of Fordel, 3 spectral essence of Midst, 12 slow creeping root, 12 radiant algae, 10 spectral coruscating coal)
  • Spectral Tethering Chain (1 Spectral essence of Midst, 3 spectral essence of Fordel, 12 luclizite cluster, 12 humming azurite, 10 spectral coruscating coal)
• Exit the library and follow the path carefully using the spray or by rooting the mobs in their corner with the chain or luring them to a place with the bait. Carefully avoid all ballot boxes where you will be attacked by spirits that you will not be able to annihilate.
  
  
  
  
• Use the door opposite when entering the instance (485, -23, -530) and explore the floor.
  Go straight ahead, then turn right into the main room and then left in the middle of the room until you reach a forge where there are two blacksmiths fighting each other, Gundeg "the Anvil" Midst and Purihni "the Edge" Fordel III (-119, -1, 4).

 

NPC: Purihni "the Edge" Fordel III (-94, -1, 1 ) ou Gundeg "the Anvil" Midst (-73, -1, 8 )
Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: Marketplace of Horrors Part II (récompense : appearance armor/weapon: Luclinite Barbute & Scimitar)
The two blacksmiths are a little lost, realize that they are out of step and face their rival.

 

• Try to convince both of them to forget their differences. Neither wants to hear about the other, but they will help you... if you make something for them.
• Collect the two recipes on the two anvils, write them down and make them on one of the forges using the coal found in the bin nearby.
  • Pristine Luclinite Barbute (31 luclizite cluster, 12 humming azurite, 25 radiant algae, 25 spectral coruscating coal)
  • Pristine Luclinite Scimitar (31 luclizite cluster, 12 slow creeping root, 25 humming azurite, 25 spectral coruscating coal)
• 
  
  
  
  
• Talk to the two blacksmiths again.
  Gundeg has already forgotten you, your recipe and your agreement. He's happy to see his beard, except he can't feel it, but hey. He'll think about how to help you.
  Purihni has forgotten you too and appreciates your scimitar. He remembers a secret entrance on the north side of the bazaar, a story of a moving wall.
  
  
  

Quest  : Piercing the Darkness: Marketplace of Horrors Part III (récompense : /)
It's time to find the exit, but be careful, sometimes it puts you in the wrong place! Before she always sent to Aurelian Coast but now she is unstable and sometimes sends to the Wracklands!

• Find the secret exit that is against the north wall of the main room (opposite a little on your right -195, -1, -1, -120)
• Use it.... Missed, you're in the Wracklands.
• Examine the second relic (Tegi Ritual Token)....

 

---

Wracklands

Starter: Examine "Tegi Ritual Token"
Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Three Little Tegi Part I (récompense : /)
Once in the Wracklands, the totem pole vibrates and shines as if it were close to something that attracts it. Go to the right when you arrive in the wracklands and pass over the mountains.
It is difficult to navigate without being able to fly so go through the mountains in 300, 104, 476 then go along the edge without (too much) falling until 180, 79, 601 and you will reach the Tegi from above. You can go up from below by following the facade from -49, 1, 581.

• Talk to the Tegi to discover the meaning of their colours
  
  • Talk to the "red" Tegi, named Gund (a tro jeg carver; -25, 55, 632). Its red color comes from the Magic of Fire.
  • Talk to the "light blue" Tegi, named Froed (a vas ren etcher; 138, 72, 680). Its blue color comes from the sky, they use the Magic of the Wind.
  • Speak to the "grey and brown" Tegi, called Nosut (a grol baku retainer; 13, 15, 588). Its earth color comes from the Magic of the Earth.
    
    
    
    

• Try to see if any of the High Shaman of the Fire, Stone or Wind tribes want to talk to you. They are located right next to the previous Tegi (the shaman is random and changes every hour).
• The Tegi do not fight each other and live in harmony. He doesn't know what a marriage is, but they gather for rituals to the gods. They will soon make one and you can join them in the Grey. Except you need an amulet so you don't scare others and you can breathe.
• Write the recipe and make the "Ceremonial Amulet of the Tegi" on a workbench (100 Humming Azurite, 15 slow creeping root, 25 lunar mushroom, 35 splitfin dartfish, 25 coruscating coal)
• Show the amulet to the Shaman

 

Starter: a XXX High Shaman
Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Three Little Tegi Part II (récompense : /)
The Shaman is very happy that you have the amulet and tells you to meet him there.

• Equip the ceremonial amulet
• Go to the ruins of the Ssraeshza Temple and find the shaman (534, 86, 460).
• Wait for the ceremony to begin and watch it without interfering. (the ceremony should work as PQ every hour)
• Find a clue as to where the Tegi disappeared. It is a message attached to one of the pillars of the ritual platform.

• You will receive a "Tegi Simpathizer Flyer". Examine it.
• Maybe the journal will give you more clues. Read it.

 

Starter : examine Benosch Ironsprocket's Enchanted Field Guide to Luclin
Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Three Little Tegi Part III (récompense : /)
The newspaper does not mention the ceremony but mentions another type of Tegi, the Shadow Tegi. The author crossed one near Lake Wracklands.

• Find a Shadow Tegi near the tree by the small lake of Wracklands (753, 83, 306)
  It's actually the Tegi sacrificed in the ceremony just before! He will speak guttural words and hurt you.
  
  
  
  
  
• Go see Hulda at Sanctus Seru (Fabrication Hall) and tell her how you got "this little wound that might be infected"!!!!
  The Tegis can be aggressive, but not that aggressive. It looks more like very bad or ancient magic. Magic can become more powerful over time as the most powerful magics all come from the depths of Norrath's history and a high dose of this type of magic affects Luclin. Some forms can affect your mind and make you do things you wouldn't normally do, such as magic touching Sanctus Seru and even affecting Triskian Seru himself, who seems to be reading a script he doesn't master well. He is very close to his Luminaires and sends them to perform tasks and transmit letters but rumours say they are experimenting on creatures from Norrath.
  Anyway, anyway. Let's go back to our scratch. The effect reminds you of what you saw near the temple of Ssraeshza which is a place reminiscent of death and famine. Perhaps the magic remaining in the temple will be able to thwart the wound that afflicts you. Fortunately, another person has been sent to this dangerous place and you may be able to take the opportunity to sneak behind while the dangers are temporarily wiped out.
• Return to the entrance of the Ssraeshza temple (552, 82, 584 for example). Don't forget your amulet!
• You will receive the quest "Piercing The Darkness: Message in a Shadowed Bottle Part I"
• Take a closer look at the Symbol of the Shissar Empire (quest should complete)

 

Quête : Piercing the Darkness: Message in a Shadowed Bottle Part I (récompense : /)

Perhaps the symbol of the Shissar Empire that you found in the Aurelian Coast could help you.

• Jump into the portal used by the Tegi!
• Welcome to[Empty Mines of Temple Ssraeshza: Piercing the Darkness]!
• Find out what happened to the Tegi. It is a trace of green blood in the center of the room, not far from where the purple ray arrives (-30, -31, 0)
• Try to heal your wounds on the purple ray.
• Go in search of the source of the magic but you will probably have to solve a puzzle first.
• Look at what the statues should hold at the 4 corners of the room and bring them the right object. (sword to the southwest, symbol to the southeast, hammer to the northeast, stick to the northwest)
  
  
• Go down the central staircase that has opened and continue on your way.
• You will find a second river of magic a little further away (-29, -61, -44)
• This one is still not pure enough to heal your wounds.
• Step into the temple and try to activate the central transporter.
  Go down by activating the Shadowy focus by going down and then enter each tunnel and disable the thing almost invisible at the bottom.
  
  
  
  
  
• Return to the middle and touch the energy sphere

 

Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Message in a Shadowed Bottle Part II (récompense : /)

X.

• Collect the glossy paper near the sphere
• Collect coal and make the Wonderous Mechanical Lockpicks recipe on the table next to it. You will need 10 sets of hooks (10 humming azurite, 100 luclizite cluster, 150 hornbeam spruce log, 300 hardened zelniak pelt, 250 envenomed coal)
• Use the hook kit to unlock the sliding door controls (-263, -161, 658 then -262, -161, 582 then -262, -161, 509 and finally -262, -161, 432 -beware the hole!-)
  
  
  
  
  
• Make your way to the last room and put your arm in this pure magic flow! (-274, -161, 284 )
  
  
  
  
  
• Indeed, this magic is much more powerful, but your wound is creaking strangely and starting to spread. This magic is too powerful! Collect a sample of the magic.
  Something strange seems to be hiding inside!
  
  
  
  
• Check the tome in the temple.
  This one contains a recipe that was not there before, the recipe for an Inert Luclin Stick and the warning not to try to make it.

 

Quest : Piercing the Darkness: Message in a Shadowed Bottle Part III (récompense : ability to fly, +20 shadow prospecting, Veilwalker's Mounting Prospects, Shadowed Staff of Luclin, new pack poney appearance, achievement "Piercing the Darkness")
After reaching the depths of the temple, you found a real source of magic and the recipe for a special stick.

• Examine the sample of pure magic you collected.
• Come out (through the place where the magic sphere was) and look again at the newspaper in the Wracklands.
  You will find a representation of a stick indicating three pieces needed to make it.
  
  CAUTION: The next step requires that public research assistants have searched for the objects necessary to create the stick. If your server has not finished the search, you will have to wait.
  
• Buy the Luclinite Staff Pommel from Krmi Hilflipper, Recuso Tor's research assistant in The Blinding (-584, 38, 466)
• Buy the Luclinite Staff Shaft from Beluba, Sanctus Seru's research assistant, on the second floor, on the far right (3, 180, -166)
• Buy the Luclinite Staff Head from Brindian Fordel, Fordel Midst's research assistant in the Aurelian Coast (161, 81, -459)
• Make the Inert Staff of Luclin on a forge (vial of contained shadows, luclinite staff head, luclinite staff pommel, luclinite staff shaft, 50 coruscating coal).
  The recipe is extremely long to make as it is an exceptional object.
• Return to Head Scholar Nabihan in Duality's Vigilant Sanctum: Mythic Passage (using your teleportation key or walking to Sundered Frontier)
  In the middle of a particularly pompous big speech, she will tell you that you seem to suffer from a shadowmark, something she saw in her youth, touching adventurers who had travelled in the wilderness of Luclin. She will give you a scroll of spell to combine with the stick.
• Examine the Blessed Scroll of Light to apply it with a stick.
• Try to heal yourself with the stick.
  Fatally, it doesn't work.
• Talk to Nabihan who explains that she made an amplifier to concentrate the magic of the stick and make sure that no shadow magic escapes.
• Stand on the amplifier which is the platform next to it and click on it....
  
  
  
  
  
• MIRACLE !!!! You are FINALLY free of your injury! Which won't stop Nabihan from saying dirty things when you talk to her again.
  Finally, after insisting on the power of illusions and suggestions, you will think about showing her your book, but she will let you unravel its mysteries yourself.
  Now remains the difficult part: announcing Benosch's death to his colleagues.
• Return to Alyse at Teren's Grasp (2210, 483, -728)
  She is very sad about Benosch's death but greets you as a hero and is happy to know that the craftsmen have gained an ally in you.

 

And now, the rewards :

• Ability to fly
• You get the "shadow prospecting" skill and a recipe book for mounts containing four buffs of this skill.
  
  
  
  
• A new appearance for your pack poney.
