Our Lost Brother - Find the Container IV
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This task is a 'sub-quest' in the Crystallos access task Beyond the Barrier (given to you upon first talking to one of the four siblings, Tonas, Vesiss, Jashy, and Aring).
Aring is located at -25, +1815 in Dragonscale Hills (refer to this map for specific spawn). You say, 'Hail, Aring' Aring says 'Greetings _____. I pray that your days are [brighter] than mine, and I wish you well.' You say, 'Brighter?' Aring says 'My heart is heavy with worry. I am here in these hills searching with my siblings for our lost brother. Our brother has always been rash and after a falling out with the rest of us he made his way here, alone. We have come to [search] for him for we fear what would happen if we did not.' You say, 'Search?' Aring says 'My siblings and I all have a certain affinity for each other, one that is subtly magical in nature. No matter the distance we can always find each other. Or at least that was true until very recently, in the case of our brother. We sensed that he entered a stretch of hills in this area but he [vanished] from our sight sometime after. I cannot express to you the worry that this has caused us.' You say, 'Vanished?' Aring says 'In the south eastern area of this region there are strange prismatic hills of unknown origin. A strange substance has taken root there and pools of still prismatic liquid have collected in various locations. Beyond these hills is a barrier that we are unable to pass. It is our belief that our brother has somehow moved past this barrier and is [lost] to us now.' You say, 'Lost?' Aring says 'Try as we might, my siblings and I are not strong enough to pierce this barrier, although we have divined a way that another might accomplish this feat, if that individual was stronger than we. Would you [dare] to try?' You say, 'I'll dare!' Aring says 'Excellent! To succeed you will need to assemble a ward that should provide you with the means to move beyond the barrier in the Prismatic Hills. Come, I will show you one of the small tasks you must perform to accomplish this feat. My siblings and I will each have such a task for you and when you have accomplished each the deed will be done. I beg of you to find our brother and bring back word of his health!' You have been assigned the task 'Our Lost Brother - Find the Container IV'. Aring has given you directions to a large room in Meldrath's Mansion where he believes you will find a certain type of crystal native to that area. This crystal has the rare property of being able to absorb certain types of magical energies. Aring believes that this crystal will be able to prove vital in your quest to pierce the barrier in the prismatic hills. Find the light blue base in a clockwork graveyard 0/1 (Meldrath's Majestic Mansion) The spawn is at +694.58, +54.55, -89.11 in the basement of Meldarth's Majestic Mansion. Enter from the Steam Factory and head to the graveyard. Refer to this map for the spawn location. Return to Aring 0/1 (Dragonscale Hills) Upon hailing Aring, you are immediately assigned the sub-task 'Our Lost Brother - A Light Blue Crystal'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

tip for mages for MMM base. you MUST have Companion of Necessity AA for this to work. Zone in from the Steam Factory. There should only be 1 see invis mob between you and the base at this point and thats the Ooze in the first room you will enter (the trash filled room right off Steam Factory zone in). wait until he paths around to right in front of you and set off the Companion mem blur pet AA on him. Then invis (easiest with the Perfected Invisibility insta invis AA) and wait for AA pet to depop. when he does mob will be stunned and unaggroable for a few seconds... RUN!. enter door. once in the hallway you're safe. then make sure you know exactly where the base is in the crypt room (recommend using Aspect of Zomm at SteamFactory zone in to find it. then charge invis into the room with inventory up. pick the base up and drop it in inventory. now at this point unless you have invis verses undead and normal invis both on somehow you will aggro the zombies and skellies... you have 2 option.s either use an instant gate pot (or the door from Cauldron) or die and rez. i did the later because i didn't have any instant gate items at the time heh. GL guys :)

used goblin shroud lvl 70, run 5, with hide and sneek and went in and looted last shard today, just had to get by the plasms they the only ones that saw me. looted the shard and died and went to the guild lobby and rezzed and got the base from the GY
Cleric cast Target DA on me. I ran with no problem from the zone in to the room with the base, but yes, as soon as I entered the room I was lagged to a standstill from all the aggro messages, I guess.
I stared at the base for about 3 to 5 seconds trying to target it.
But the aggro spam might as well have been a 5 second stun. DA wore off and I went splat in no time.
I will try turning journal logging off next run.
I have also run the guantlet for guildies. I hit WS, ran to first door to open it for next DA runner, continued to next door to open it as well, and turned around and ran back to zone out and exited the zone with no problem.
Only got hit from behind a couple of times. I'm not even sure if I needed to WS ahead of time.
Opening the doors in front of the runner gives the DA runner more time to loot the item.
They simply start their DA run after I have opened the first door.

If agro messages are lagging you too much to do suicide runs, turn off journal logging.

I found exactly where the piece drops, I am a level 78 SK named Nislabik on the prexus server. I use my DA and try to solo to the drop but because I have so much melee on me it won't let me loot the piece. I can't use my spell FD or my Tome FD because I have the DA on. and when it loses power and drops I get interupted when I try to FD by the piece. Can anyone give me any clues or hints or maybe if you are on my server help me get this piece. It is my last piece I need for the key have all the others and have the Essence's to do the combine. LEt me know in game if you can help or give me a clue on here please.

Got my key done, and went to MMM. Every single mob was seeinvis. Waited till it looked like most of them were out of the way, and made a suicide dash, never even made it to the room with the thingee. Tried a couple times more, got agro quickly, and made it back to the exit with like 1hp. Without da or something comprable, is there any way to do this solo?

Tried it today without DA, having approx 15k HP (bst). Died right on top of it, but was unable to loot. In the time it took me to move my mouse pointer and click, I had been splutted. There are 4 or 5 mobs in the final room with the container, and they will happily splut anyone who doesn't have DA up.
Will try tomorrow with a bard or cleric DA up.

Having trouble accessing MMM from the Steam Factory. Found a small brownie service tunnel - used a shrink potion to get in and was careful to back up to avoid agro.
Think I will need a bard to act as a diversion because the agro spam was so intense, my graphics were stuttering and I died right on top of the Crystal Base, unable to loot.
One other item: in going through Steam Factory, it pays to have a tracker tell you if the named Foundry Master Slagspring is on track because he sees invis and will kill you on your way to the service tunnel.

You have to go through The Steam Factory zone to get to the downstairs part of the Mansion.
Exact loc of this ground spawn is:
694.58, 54.55, -89.11
694.58, 54.55, -89.11
I could see it from the door of the room as a white 'shard' on the ground like the other cases.
