Run Fear Begins At Home from Bodhessel the Caller [Quest] in Shard's Landing. This mission has no replay timer and always results in 1 Fragment of Legendary Alaran History. It has you running back and forth from Bodhessel to the Alaran underground city, killing 10 mobs, and running back to hail. If you are level 115+, then save the fragments until you hit rank 10 (as the green con Alarans will provide some progress at lower levels but becomes negligible beyond that).

The effectiveness of the Fragments has changed a few times since the Tear was first launched.

As of October 2020, each fragment evolves the tear as follows:
  • 1 - Very Small Stone Tear - 30%
  • 2 - Small Stone Tear - 30%
  • 3 - Small Resonating Stone Tear - 25%
  • 4 - Small Glowing Stone Tear - 25%
  • 5 - Very Small Clear Stone Tear - 20%
  • 6 - Small Clear Stone Tear - 20%
  • 7 - Small Clear Resonating Stone Tear - 15%
  • 8 - Small Clear Glowing Stone Tear - 10%
  • 9 - Stone Tear - 10%
  • 10 - Echoing Stone Tear - 5%
  • 11 - Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
  • 12 - Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
  • 13 - Heavy Stone Tear - 5%
  • 14 - Heavy Echoing Stone Tear - 5%
  • 15 - Heavy Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
  • 16 - Heavy Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
  • 17 - Darkened Stone Tear - 5%
  • 18 - Darkened Resonating Stone Tear - 5%
  • 19 - Darkened Glowing Stone Tear - 5%
  • 20 - The Tears of Alaris


Once at its final level (20) you can still collect fragments and click them, but they disappear with no effect. Click the Convert button on the tear's Description to convert it to the aug version. You must zone after it evolves to its final form before the convert button appears.

Grind report from a 114 that did Fear Begins At Home exclusively...
Questing 235 Fragments of Legendary Alaran History got my tear to Level 5/20 46%
Burned 35 Fragments and it only took my tear to Level 9/20 85%
So, I grinded 2 more Fragments to push it to 10/20 4%
The remaining 200 Fragments took it to Level 20 as expected.
So, you can expect to run the quest 237 times, killing 2,370 Alarans.

The item is intended to be a 'major' grind. Its original intent was to give the players that finish their AAs in the first week of an expansion something to work on after they're done maxing out achievements, quests, etc.

The reason that I chose to grant a defense skill bonus is because only one % skill mod can be included on an item so I had to try and pick an effect that would benefit the most people at once and at the same time not be a skill that was used anywhere else in the game. The idea is that, while the power gain from this item is 'low', it's unique and isn't something that can be gained anywhere else. I can't make any promises, but I'll look into adding some bonus to casters to the item so it's not entirely melee centric.

As to the fact that the item grants 5%, I just picked some random number with the intent that the capped gains would only be 10 skill points. 5% seemed like a safe bet due to the variance in actual defense skill based on your class.

As to the process of leveling evolving items:
Each evolving item has a defined number of exp points you need to obtain in order to level the item from one rank to the next. The tear has some of the highest exp requirements and is also very restrictive based on mob races (only Alarans and Alaran Ghosts work.)

Here are the raw numbers for you math inclined people. Keep in mind that these are the 'lowered' values, the intense grind is intended.
Level - Exp Needed
01 - 0
02 - 4500
03 - 6783
04 - 10224
05 - 15410
06 - 23226
07 - 35007
08 - 52763
09 - 79525
10 - 119861
11 - 180655
12 - 272284
13 - 410387
14 - 618536
15 - 932258
16 - 1405100
17 - 2117767
18 - 3191899
19 - 4810831
20 - 7250885

To make some sense of those numbers here is a chart that defines how much 'item exp' you gain per kill. (Basically, the amount of 'item exp' you gain per kill is based on your group size and the mob's level compared to yours.)

Grey cons at all group sizes yield 0 points of item exp.

Solo
Green: 20
Light Blue: 30
Dark Blue: 71
White: 111
Yellow: 120
Red: 131

Duo
Green: 12
Light Blue: 18
Dark Blue: 42
White: 66
Yellow: 72
Red: 84

Trio
Green: 9
Light Blue: 14
Dark Blue: 33
White: 53
Yellow: 57
Red: 66

Four People
Green: 8
Light Blue: 12
Dark Blue: 29
White: 45
Yellow: 48
Red: 57

Five or Six People
Green: 8
Light Blue: 11
Dark Blue: 26
White: 41
Yellow: 44
Red: 51

The reward for doing the optional step in the Pillars tasks grants a defined number of exp points to the item based on the item's level. It works as follows:
Level 01: 450 points.
Level 02: 710 points.
Level 03: 1120 points.
Level 04: 1767 points.
Level 05: 2788 points.
Level 06: 4397 points.
Level 07: 6937 points.
Levels 08-13: 7000 points.
Levels 14-20: 10000 points.

After working on this item for a week or so, I've figured out a good system to evolve it. Using 2 different characters you can complete the 4 group tasks from the factions continuously without having to faction afterwards. Those tasks being The Word of Fal'Kaa, The Word of Melretia, The Word of Anriella and The Word of Erion. By completing the bonus portion of each task you earn a Fragment of Alaran History clickable evolution item. Level 1 earns 10% per click, Level 2-4 earns 20% per click, Level 5-7 earns 15% per click, Level 8-9 earns 10% per click and Level 10+ earns 5% per click. I used a lvl 100 Ranger (Max AA) and a lvl 100 Monk (7k AA) and a cleric merc for the missions. You must complete "The First Pilgrimage" on each character in order to request these tasks.

I'm able to complete all 4 tasks in 2hours or less after completing the missions a few times. Starting from a level 1 Tear, you're looking at roughly 120hrs with this method to reach level 20. Completing 4 tasks everyday = 2 months for completion. Completing 4 tasks twice a day = 1 month for completion. You can task add friends or guildies outside of the zone to earn a fragment on Fal'Kaa, Melretia and Anriella. Erion requires them to be in the zone.

On one character (I used Monk) complete The Word of Fal'Kaa and The Word of Melretia. These factions are aligned with another.
--The Word of Fal'Kaa bonus is achieved by exiting the tower of Light without holding agro for more than a couple seconds. To be successful on this bonus requires a character that can utilize a harmony type spell to reduce agro radius so you can successfully be "stealthy" exiting the tower of Light or the ability to FD/fade immediately if you obtain agro. Another helpful tool for avoiding agro are blink abilities. If your latency is around 150+ms, lag can cause you to fail this part by holding agro too long due to a delayed reaction. Your other option is to clear the Light tower mobs that will cause agro issues on your way back in and out.
--The Word of Melretia bonus is achieved by completing the mission within 30mins. To be successful on this bonus requires DPS and the ability to tank multiple mobs. The scroll used to spread the word to mobs has a PBAE radius, so be careful of mob proximity (including walls). Also note that the earth elemental models share agro with the alaran models they're next to. Furthermore note that you cannot FD or fade agro from mobs you've angered with your heresy. They will immediately re-agro until you evac, die or you kill them. If they receive the "(Waivering Faith)" tag above their name you can lose agro safely.

On the other character (I used Ranger) complete The Word of Anriella and The Word of Erion. These factions are aligned with another.
-- The Word of Anriella bonus is achieved by allowing the Arcane Guardian to FD you 3 times prior to killing it. To be successful on this bonus requires nothing other than waiting for the random FD to go off. Be prepared for respawns.
-- The Word of Erion bonus is achieved by defeating one "Fal`Kaa`s Shadowward" at the very top of the Fal'Kaa tower. This mob is the same difficulty as a named mob in Pillars.

Once you get your "The Tears of Alaris," you must ZONE once before the convert button will show up.
This new button is in the Item Inspect window. I have uploaded Both of the new SS's of the black and blue versions of this that show the Button. Hope this helps!

Effects work anywhere. The item description is somewhat inaccurate.
is this a slot 3 aug?
# Dec 04 2013 at 11:17 AM Rating: Decent
I looked up the patch note and all I found was that it could be right clicked to turn it in to an augmentation, I saw nothing on what the augment would be when clicked. I ASSUME it would be the same stats, but it would become a slot 3 augment. Can anyone confirm this ??? I'm level 14 now and can see if i applied my soloing time here it could be advanced but it will still take a lot of effort.It would be nice to know for sure what you get upon completion.

Adjusted the amount of experience required for the Tears of Alaris evolving item to reach level 20. The amount of experience required to reach level 20 is about what it previously took to reach level 16. At level 20 you can now right click the item to transform it into an augmentation.

per: Patch Notes for October 16, 2012
