Geomancer's Crown of Reformation dropped from The Sand Covered Chest
Gloves of the Jeweled Guard dropped from The Diamond Etched Chest

This raid expedition begins with Dizzl Nulzik at the Wayfarer camp in North Ro and takes place in an instance called The River of Recollection.
You say, 'Hail, Dizzl Nulzik' Dizzl Nulzik bows to you. 'These are most exciting times for us! Exploring the world with such great companions, there can be no greater occupation. Well, maybe tinkering, but this is great. There are so many surprises around the bends of time, aren't there? Much to do, much to do! In fact, I can see that you'd like to get involved, eh? If you can rally the call of your friends perhaps you can help us with a serious [problem].' You say, 'Problem?' Dizzl Nulzik says 'It seems the sand elves of Takish-Hiz are very disturbed by our presence. Now our scouts report that some Geomantic Compact masters aim to create a beast of sand to unleash on all who enter Takish-Hiz. This would impede our gathering of information and such, so we need you to stop them. You will need your best and bravest for this task. Are you [interested]?' You say, 'I am interested' Dizzl Nulzik says 'Put the beast of sand to sleep if you must, _____. We're counting on you.' You have entered Takish-Hiz: The Palace Grounds 
There are three non-targetable earth elementals at the entrance area: "a wayward defender", "a delinquent defender", and "an aberrant defender" . After a short time from zoning in the wayward defender will head north while the other two head southeast (aberrant defender) and northeast (delinquent defender). In order to progress through the instance each of these three elementals must reach the guard event rooms at the end of their path. They will stop moving whenever a hostile NPC is near them but the defenders themselves cannot be killed. There is no timer involved with this event so the raid may choose to either stay in 1 big group and clear a single path at a time or to split up and assign a few groups to each elemental if they feel they are up to it. Each path will have a modest amount of zone trash which hits from around 700-900 but mobs are spaced out enough that pulls should never be more than two mobs at a time. The biggest danger are the Insect Traps that will spawn 15 Ravenous Insects which will all attack simultaneously. These insects are weaker than normal zone trash, hitting for roughly 300 damage, but can be quite lethal as a swarm if caught unprepared. Once all three of the "defender" elementals have reached their respective rooms the enraged guards will begin spawning. Each of the three rooms will have 5 "an enraged jeweled guard" spawn and will charge the raid if you are close enough. These each hit for around 800 damage and do not summon. To proceed, each wave of 5 guards must be killed in all 3 rooms, and there are 4 waves total. The raid will have a period of about 4 minutes between each wave from the time the final guard dies but if you need more time you can simply move further back to avoid aggroing when they spawn. Once 4 waves of guards have been killed in each of the 3 guard rooms, a named NPC will spawn in each: "Master of the Guard" in the Northwest, "Tactician of the Guard" in the southwest, and "Champion of the Guard" in the northeast. These all function the same, hitting for about 1400 damage and can single target ramp, are rootable and are mezzable. They also leash to their rooms if pulled out and will clear all debuffs and fully heal if they do leash. Defeat them all to receive your chests. NOTE: You need to defeat the Tactician and the Champion prior to killing the Master of the Guard in order to get all 3 chests. Three Chests with loot will spawn in the room just south of "Master of the Guard". Known raid loot from this event (Two items from each chest, can have duplicates from the same chest): The Smoldering Chest Battle-Worn Circlet of Sickness Gemmed Sand Elf Slippers Girdle of the Sandy Grove Royal Gem of Alacrity Takish-Hiz Ring of Vengeance The Sand Covered Chest Geomancer's Crown of Reformation Geomancer's Ritual Drape Sparkling Sand-Covered Helm Takish-Hiz Architect's Leggings The Diamond Etched Chest Gemmed Sand Elf Leggings Geomancer's Gloves of Celerity Gloves of the Jeweled Guard Spiritstorm Mask Thick Jeweled Belt Unknown which chest drops these: Geomancer's Crown of Reformation Jeweled Bracelet of the Champion Shawl of Trapped Memories Gloves of the Jeweled Guard | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Important differences on Agnarr as of 10/13/18.
The raid is timed, you get 3 hours.
None of the rooms enraged jeweled guards spawn until all three of the elementals enter their respective designation rooms. Once they start spawning they will continue to spawn about every 6 minutes. Consequently if your raid hangs out entirely in one room, you will have to fight the boss and 20 of his body guards in the other two rooms.
The boss and the guards are leashed, and will clear debuffs and full heal when the pop back to their spawn points. The guards are rootable and about half of them are mezzable.
The chests spawned in the room south of the Master of the Guard (who spawned in the NW room both times I've done the expedition).
Happy Hunting,

as far as the bug in the wall, I got the same thing. I just sent a pet on it. It is similar mechanics as when a water creature gets stuck and seems to warp back and forth. just have to time the attack right.
As of 8/11/17 still does not update achievement. Which is really sad since it's not a raid I'd want to repeat. I've been enjoying soloing these old LDoN raids for the achievement flag and the occasional Type 3 augment drop for my warrior. The +ATK and +REGEN augs are still worth equipping on a melee class, which can't usually fill all their Type 3 aug slots. But this raid isn't much fun to solo because you have to run across the zone about 12 times to slay the guards that spawn before seeing the bosses. By the end I was using egress to save some of the running time and tedium.
One thing to note: when the "ambush bugs" spawn, be careful how and where you fight them. I had a bug end up inside a wall and could not target it and the elemental would not go past that spot. I had to bail out the first time. The second time I camped for a few minutes and then returned. The bug was still in the wall but the elemental had moved past it so I could continue. But this is a real "bug" about a, er.... bug. ;)

As of 07/23/17 this particular raid does not seem to update LDoN raid achievement check mark like all the others.
We all had completion & lockout timer. Bug report submitted.

Updated, though I wonder if anyone will actually run this for it to matter considering there are no augs. 
Updated quest to identify which chests drop which loot rewards along with how many drops from each chest for those looking for a particular item.
There are a handful of items that we don't know exactly where they come from but have been reported to drop from this particular LDoN. Typically LDoN chests have 5sh items from each so that would add up with what we currently have info on.
If any TLP/Live players happen to run this instance in the future and see these items drop if they could make a note of which chest they got it from so that we can update it that'd be awesome!

The 3 chests with the loot at the end all spawn in the same room. Each chest has 2 loots in it + 2 junk (roots, larva, etc)
The chests are called:
The Diamond Etched Chest
The Sand Covered Chest
The Smoldering Chest

Basically, there are three non-targtable earth pet MOB's at entrance area. After a short pause, one goes north and other 2 go (east?).
Bascially you need to clear the way for each of these NPC's to get to the end rooms in the SE, NE and NW (think those are right).
After that, they will despawn and about 4 waves of (5)sand elf Guards will spawn in each of those 3 rooms. Lots of running back or forth or leave groups in each area.
After the waves are down, "named" guards will spawn.
Suspicion: Kill all 3 and get 3 chests at end, rather than just one.
Master Guard drops a note (lore). 3 chests spawn in room just before Master guards a room, after he is dead.
Drops are mostly low end 2-slot armor.

Bonzz beat me to the post. We were able to complete this by having the raid force of about 3 groups run between the rooms. The trash mobs were all green to 80 except the bug traps which were gray. The guard waves were all lt blue at 80. A selfsufficient group of 80s can hold each room instead of running between them.
