This is a solo task which begins in Relic.
Find Tenaro the Arcane on the lower level at -607, +193. You say, 'Hail, Tenaro the Arcane' Tenaro the Arcane says, 'Hail fellow Norrathian. It is with much relief that I greet thee, for you see it seems this hostile and strange land is not friendly to the likes of us. But your face is unfamiliar to me. Let me introduce myself, I am Tenaro. Just recently I came from a [camp] of other mages in the land we are calling, Arcstone.' You say, 'What camp?' Tenaro the Arcane says, 'Yes, a camp of several mages all with diverse backgrounds, from different locations. Even different periods of time! Stranded from our homes, we banded together in order to better survive. Alas, our combined might was still not enough as we slowly lost members. What once was many, is now few in number. And I fear that by the time I return, they will have all been lost to the lurking dangers. But I could not simply stand idly by, watching us slowly wither away. No. . .action was called for. So I set out to [unravel the mystery] of these lands.' You say, 'Unravel the mystery?' Tenaro the Arcane says, 'Yes, I sought to discover and explore our surroundings in hopes of finding a way for each of us to return to our time and place. But wounded in a fight, I was forced to flee. I came here only to realize that I managed to not only lose my attackers but also myself. Now that you are here though, I think we can help each other. Wounded as I am, I am not able to continue the [task] I set out for myself.' You say, 'What task?' Tenaro the Arcane says, 'You see, it is my belief that once I have enough information about our surroundings and the manner of creatures that exist here, I will be able to figure out how to tap into the near limitless energies that imbue these lands. Gather the information I seek and I will reward you surely. Start with the Courtyard of Contemplation. It is just North East of us.' Explore Courtyard of Contemplation 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +421 -810. Explore the Mystical Bazaar 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +1060, +317 (near Tellenguards). Find the way to the Upper section 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +415 -315 (teleportal). Explore the Small Platfrom of Storms 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +711 -101 (upper level). Slay two of the creatures near the Small Storm Platform 0/2 (Relic) Kill two living vortexes. Explore the Small Magma Platform 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +439 -327 (upper level). Kill two of the creatures near the Small Magma Platform 0/2 (Relic) Kill two animated flamespouts. Explore the Small Gracial of Platform 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately -338 +77 (upper level). Destroy two of the creatures near Small Gracial Platform 0/1 (Relic) Kill two cresting waves. Find the Locked portal to the Mysterious Tower 0/1 (Relic) Update at approximately +377 +171. Speak to Tenaro 0/1 (Relic) You say, 'Hail, Tenaro the Arcane' Tenaro the Arcane sats, 'Thank You. The information you've provided me today shall go a long way towards my undestranding of this realm. Though somewhat surprised that some dragons have taken up residence here, eventually I shall bend my will towards discovering their true role. For now though, I think I have discovered that indeed something is amiss down in this lower section. It seems that the elemental population of the lower portion is out of balance. We should quickly set out to [correct] this.' Rewards: Melees: Epaulettes of the Lost Magus Casters: Cloak of the Lost Magus Following Tenaro's [correct] dialogue leads you into a task called "Tipped Balance." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There are no living vortex mobs at, or near the storm platform that you are supposed to kill. So what do you have to do? I tried killing the two mobs down on the bottom floor, but didn't get credit for the kills.
This is fixed, the living vortexes are there to kill.
Also the locs in the quest description are wrong, use Norik's post instead.

The correct coordinates for step no. 10 'Find the locked portal to the mysterious tower' are +710, -98 on the upper level. Near a small platform (that looks like a smaller version of the platform where you port into and out of the upper level) at the intersection of 4 walkways you will get a quest update.

These coordinates look correct. I got the update at around 650, -66, 272.

My guild did this as a raid event and it works! We set upcamp near a firepot close to Head Servant Hithorin and got the quest Troubles with Dirt. We cleared out the area where the earth elementlas spawn and camped inside that area. WE then pulled some mobs from the Southwest until it was clear for everyone to move to Tenaro the Arcane and got Tipped balance.
Monk pulled the mobs required for this as we waited for respawns on the earth elementals. Raid style also works for the Circle of Champions quests, just make sure everyone is in the circle in order to get task update!

Using the same quest text after hailing Tenaro, you say correct and it will give you the Tipped balance quest. Same quest info.
Kill 3 a courtyard air current
Kill 3 a courtyard earth pile
KIll 3 a courtyard fire spark
Kill 3 a courtyard water spout

Last step is "speak with Tenaro"
Melee got Belt of the Lost Mage http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=39697
Casters got Gem of the Lost Mage range item http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=39698
I destroyed the belt. Just did it to help someone.
The tipped balance mobs all spawn near the pool around corner from Tenaro, so can pull to him. Just clear the 3 scrykin roamers, or some clever tricks and/or timing to just pull past them.

Finished this a week or so ago - brought a group and the MoBs were a lot easier, of course. The fire ones were as always the toughest.
Oh By the way, if you're having trouble getting the Courtyard of Contemplation waypoint (with all the undead in front of it), the easiest way by far is to go in from above and gate/succor out. Avoid the undead entirely.

Best way Ive found for it, was to invis past the earth guys, then invis undead, and pass through them. There is a spot, not exactly in middle, but still between the red guys and undead, slightly to the side, you are fairly safe, if no roamers nearby. Can invis there and run in, then run out and invis undead at that spot.
Never thought about the floating down part.

The trick is to snag pathers and pull them down to the dragons areas.
This is what I did with all 3 types of mobs, I used Dar'Shan(sp?) for the vortexes and ice mobs and Ashenbacks for the fire mobs. Both Dragons were up and I got as close to Ashenbacks tail without him aggroing.
Fire mobs would cast a 1200 damage dd but it seemed like they would begin to cast, you would move back a step out of range and they stop, so they move up and try again, etc. Making them very Easy to Kite.
770 - 796 DPT is approximately 2-3% and they were giving 9 - 11% AA exp at level with with 90% to AAs.

Incredibly difficult to kite these mobs (as a ranger), there just isn't enough room to operate without backing into an add. Gonna have to bring a group I guess, or try try again...

That's because the coordinates given are wrong. I had the same problem at first. They are: 200, -380.
Scroll down and find the map coordinates posted by Norik. They are bang on.

Spawned the animated flamespouts and evacced to zone -btw they all see invis, so dont camp anyone at upper platform with invis and think your safe.
One comes down ramp single and tight to kite, but managed it. Problem is with resists 400+ it casts ae nukes up to 1170 damage. Even with potions you cant out heal the damage.
Damn annoying as they are the last on my list.

How do you spawn the flamespouts?
What I find funny is that the first line of the information on this task starts off saying...

A solo task doesn't necessarily mean that it's soloable, it means that it's given to one person and that one person has to complete all the steps, instead of the group tasks where anybody in the group can complete the steps...

I've camped the animated flamespouts for the past week, with no spawns. I've been only one in zone for a few hours and no sign of them.
Once you aggro Ashenback the dragon below the fire portal there'll be a message and the animated flamespouts will spawn. Just aggro dragon and run off pad and zone out or fade, FD, succor etc. Then they should be there.

As of april 30, 2006 me and a grp tried to do this got through it with one exception the fire platform guys will not spawn on Saryrn Server not sure why left feedback for SoE but we will see if they fix it. Camped it for over 6 hrs not a single one spawned the entire time. Hope this helps
I am actually soloing this mission as we speak....root snare nuke, rinse repeat. There is usually enough space along the "runways" to get the mob solo. One down so far and no problems yet.
So far none of the mobs you need to kill have summoned

Basically there is another Quest after this one you can get called Tipping the Balance given by Tenaro. I've yet to complete it so I have no definitive answer to what sort of progression exists but's it's not for ToB access. This cloak for casters is infiorer to the one from Archstone.

Encountered a few new ... friends... while trying to get to the courtyard of contemplation:
a twisted flesh fiend
a bone walker
a mud spirit
They were all near the entrance area to the courtyard, and all three of them see invis. The mud spirit summons as well. as i find more (Ranger port in progress:p ) i'll post them up.

Update: I snuck by the above listed mobs using a lvl 70 rogue shroud (or just got really lucky). Was also able to complete all the upper level exploration in this way. GL to all :)

I have camped the fire area for hours on end (6+ hours strait once) at various times, but have never seen 1 fire mob. Any one know if quest is now broken or if these have a spawn trigger?
I did get location part of quest update at this spot.
Someone also said that they got kill credit for the fire guys from a raid encounter, any one confirm that?
Thanks

The quest continues by the way, would have posted this info long ago but I wasnt bored enough at work. It goes on and you have to kill a couple of each of the courtyard mobs, the pyrilin=spark, gelidrin-forget=, earth elementals=pile of rocks. and some other trash. Also certain mobs drop augments like BLUE SHARD OF RELIC and Emerald shard of relic. Not sure if it is listed yet but it drops off scrykin...I will leave you all to figure out which ones. Hint...past arena~
Make sure you bring a group of friends to do the upper level objectives.
And most Importantly, FIND the Location of the Platforms before killing the 2 mobs from each area. If you kill the mobs before updating the location of the platform it will not give you the kill credit and you would have to do this part again.

No.
There are total of 11 objectives for this task.
No looting or turning in items involved.

This is a solo task which begins in Relic
I don't think so...
I beleive he means solo as in it is a personal and NOT a group task, in which case he is right it is a solo, or single person task.

the mobs on the Small fire ring have a VERY long respawn time.... It's more than an hour..... really, it's needlessly long
Have done everything up the killing the two magma mobs on the platform, whenever I head up there, it is always empty. Anyone else having this problem?
