You can get this shared task from Great Sky Ocean in Stratos at -82, +679, +239. She is on the find tool (CTRL F).

This is a shared task.


You say, 'mission'

Great Sky Ocean says, 'Good! I am glad you are still willing. I will send you to Esianti whenever you are ready [to go].'

You have been assigned the task 'Contract of War'.

You say, 'to go'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

You have entered Esianti: Palace of the Winds.

It ports you to the building in the south part of the zone with all the norrathians.




  • 1. Find and defeat whomever is palace guardian today and acquire a writ to see the king. 0/1 Esianti: Palace of the Winds

    Task Window: Great Sky Ocean has told you that there must be a second contract sanctioning the war between the djinn and efreeti, and that Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens must have it. She also mentioned that she does not trust the new king, and others in Esianti do not either. Despite having a write for Esianti, you do not believe the locals will appreciate your arrival. Find and take the contract and return it to Great Sky Ocean.

    You will have to draw out the palace guardian. There are three beings that currently serve that position, and one of them must have a writ to speak with the king.

    3 red cons and one of them will drop the Writ of Access - King in Esianti. Order will not always been the same every task.

    Named are:
    Feather Silver Sheen - Casts Gouging Strike (Single Target, Unresistable, 155,105 dmg per tick dot (4 ticks)) Can spawn a nilborien hawk around 10-20 seconds into the fight and will despawn if you lose aggro on Feather Silver Sheen.
    Radiant Fog Evening - Casts Suffocating Breeze (Single Target, Unresistable, 88,888 dmg per tick dot (4 ticks), curse counters 25. DT if not cured before dot wears off?)
    Sunshine Sensible Warmth - Casts Crippling Knives (Single Target, Unresistable, 135,145 dmg nuke, decrease mana 4500, decrease movement by 85%), also
    Casts Lashing Blades (Directional AE 250', Unresistable, 116,126 dmg per tick (4 ticks), 135,135 dmg nuke)

    - The first named is by the bridge and the two adds can be pulled and killed first.
    - The second is on the hill solo.
    - The third is by the entryway and has two adds that can be pulled and killed first.

    NOTE: - Two mephits rush you after the last named dies. The key will poof from your inventory if you die, so be sure to run up and open the door as soon as you can. The Moon Serf will only talk to you after you kill those 2 mephits.

    If you wipe: If you wipe on the first or second boss, just run back, rebuff and try again. If you wipe after the 3rd, the two mephits that spawned will slowly pace towards the first person to zone back in (they don't really "aggro" until they reach you). They can be rooted, snared and mezzed and both occasionally cast a knockback and blind.

    NOTE - Not a step but you should pre-clear the landing before the door and the two guards at the door. Before using the Writ on the door which will start the spawning of the Mephits.



  • 2. Speak with the king about the war. 0/1 Esianti: Palace of the Winds

    Task Window: You will have to enter the chamber the king is currently using for meetings and hope the contract is there. If not, you will have to speak with the king and see if you can gain some traction in convincing him to stop the war himself.


    With the writ in your inventory, click on the Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens door (from the entrance looking north the 1st two level one BLUE DOOR, which is at the eastern most plateau at the complex in the center of the zone.). Make sure to kill the guards at the blue door and the mobs on the plateau below guards and the roamer in the center before you kill the last boss. Also, kill the mephits after the 3rd mini-boss dies. When they are dead, say 'do you know who will follow' to Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens on one of the platforms.

    Map File Location for Moon: P 389.7311, 237.7524, -11.8736, 240, 0, 0, 3, Moon_Serf_of_Harmonious_Heavens_(Contract_of_War)

    Discovered the hard way (though an easy recovery using a Token of Reclamation) that you have to keep the Writ that you get in the middle of this task. The first time you go to use the Esianti entry portal on the south island in Stratos, you have to have it in your bags to use the portal, otherwise you'll get a "You have no right to enter here" message. With the writ, the portal works, and you get an emote that says it's been dissolved and you're flagged for future entry.

    mephits are a nonstop spawn, one after another, and they path to your spot. So just clear mobs to the king and once inside you're safe.



    You say, 'Hail, Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens'

    Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens says, 'So, you have used force to gain my attention. Not unexpected from you and your type. It does seem that your people were created only to wage [war] upon each other, and now you have returned here to bring your aggression to my people. What is it that you wish of me?'

    You say, 'war'

    Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens says, 'What, you claim to be here to stop a war? That seems like mortal humor to me. But you do seem serious, I suppose. What has been agreed to must continue until it is meant to end. I, of all beings, will not break an agreement, it would destroy my station. My people would no longer back me.'

    You say, 'do you know who you will follow?'

    Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens says, 'I await proof. Should you provide it, I will end our war with the efreeti. You may [leave] now. Seek Great Sky Ocean to learn what you must do next.'

    Your task 'Contract of War' has been updated.

    Confusing...

    Mob is located here:

    P 389.7311, 237.7524, -11.8736, 240, 0, 0, 3, Moon_Serf_of_Harmonious_Heavens_(Contract_of_War)

    Eastern most plateau at the complex in the center of the zone.

    In addition to killing the two guards mentioned i suggest also killing the two mobs on the plateau below guards and the roamer in the center before you spawn last boss.

    Finding the staircase: In the structure housing the final boss, the staircase you're looking for is directly NE from the entryway. On your map, it's the only branch on the right side with 2 platforms.

    Feather Silver Sheen can spawn a nilborien hawk around 10-20 seconds into the fight. It only spawned one for me, and it de-spawned when it lost aggro on my toons.

    Two mephits rush you after the last named dies. The key will poof from your inventory if you die, so be sure to run up and open the door as soon as you can. The Moon Serf will only talk to you after you kill those 2 mephits.

    If you wipe: If you wipe on the first or second boss, just run back, rebuff and try again. If you wipe after the 3rd, the two mephits that spawned will slowly pace towards the first person to zone back in (they don't really "aggro" until they reach you). They can be rooted, snared and mezzed and both occasionally cast a knockback and blind.

    Only 2 mephits spawned for me. As soon as I killed them, I talked to the Moon Serf, the chest spawned and that was it.

    The loot for me was:
    2x Diminished Inhabited Mubhis
    1x Battleworn Stalwart Moon Binding Wrist Mubhis
    1x Battleworn Stalwart Moon Binding Chest Mubhis
    Mortal Celestial Vigorous Spark
    Mortal Celestial Brawny Spark
    Mortal Corporeal Light Zephyr
    Glowing Spellbound Lamp

    "NOTE - Not a step by you should pre-clear the landing before the door and the two guards at the door. Before using the Writ on the door which will start the spawning of the Mephits."

    Although it's not a step, it is required. The door will not open unless the 2 guards and all mephits are dead.

    Also, opening the door with the writ on your cursor does not work, the one who looted the writ just clicks the door with it in their inventory.

    And, the mephits do not spawn when the door is clicked, they spawn immediately after the 3rd mini-boss dies, so it's best to kill the guards at the blue door before you kill the last boss.

    The names are the same. The first mob is Sunshine Sensible Warmth. Those spells are already listed under the mob name link on this page. The second name is Radiant Fog Evening. The spell with the DeathTouch is listed in this thread from Reneca. I think it casts a second spell, but I can't say anything about it. The third mob is Feather Silver Sheen. That spell is also listed on the mobs link on this page. I'm not sure if it casts only one spell, but it was the easiest of the three to kill. They all seem to be directional so if people get in back of the mobs, you are pretty much safe. 1st mob for sure, 3rd mob for sure, not 100% sure of that on 2nd mob.

    Tell Great Sky Ocean "Mission" to get and "to go" to zone in.

    1) Find and defeat whomever is palace guardian today and aquire a writ to see the king.
    Kill the three red con mobs in zone. One of them have Writ of Access - King in Esianti.
    * Which 3 mobs is random. If you get "Radiant Fog Evening" it casts <Suffocating Breeze>. 25 Curse counters - 52K dot per tick - plus a DT if not cured in time

    2) Speak to the king about war.
    Say 'Do you know who will follow you' to the king - 'Moon Serf of Harmonious Heavens', he's on one of the platforms.

    3) Done. Now you can get the next shared task from Great Sky Ocean.
