This is the third of five group tasks from Jaled`Dar (each of which are required for Void progression). It follows the task "The Brood of an Emperor".
You say, 'Hail, Jaled`Dar' Jaled`Dar says 'Why do you bother me small one? I have enough [problems] to deal with here without your intrusions.' You say, 'Problems?' Jaled`Dar says 'You have proven a surprising ally. I would not have expected you to be so willing nor so capable. My need for your assistance is not over. The threat has not been defeated, and the Iksar still hold formidable power. Is your assistance [still available] to us?' You say, 'I am still available' Jaled`Dar says 'Very well. The tasks we ask of you now will not be easy. If you have allies you will likely find them most useful.' A task window pops up. Choose 'The Price of Knowledge'. You'll receive an Akromid Crystal for use in this task. You have been assigned the task 'The Price of Knowledge'. The revelation of the dragonbane weapons has deeply troubled Jaled`Dar. Information gleaned from intercepted messages and interrogation of Sarnak slaves has revealed the creation of these horrific armaments is happening deep within Kaesora. Jaled`Dar has charged you with destroying the knowledge of dragonbane before it can gain widespread use amongst the Iksar troops. Though the exact location is unknown, Jaled`Dar has given you the Akromid Crystal to peer inside the mind of the Iksar scholars, whom he believes hold the secrets of the dragonbane enchantment. Only when weakened will the crystal penetrate the Iksar scholar's mind and reveal the information you seek. Named "Corrupted Sentinel" is a named mob that has a chance to spawn after spending about 13 minutes in the zone (if the named doesn't spawn, a PH "a stone sentinel" spawns instead). It is not a necessary kill for purposes of task progression. It appears around /location -1300, -620 and roams the last hallway leading to the large open area above the pit overlooking the lower library. It's snareable/rootable; single-target rampages; and flurries. It drops one item per kill, with a chance at dropping an armor piece as well: Corrupted Golemstone Fragment Corrupted Sentinel's Pennant Golemstone Fragment Sentinel's Pennant Task Progression Enter the Royal Library of Kaesora 0/1 (Field of Scale) The instanced zone is entered the same as you would the non-instanced zone. Discover the source of the dragonbane enchantment 0/1 (Kaesora Library) Throughout the zone you'll find mobs called "a corrupt scholar". Fight them down to around 30% health (they are health-locked at 10% to prevent accidental death) and then right click the crystal. You'll either see: a corrupt scholar shakes its head wildly. Its mind is too weak to handle the effects of the crystal. ...which indicates it's not the update mob, or... a corrupt scholar enters a trance-like state, muttering incoherent nonsense. You make out something about beguilers and powerful unknown magics. ...which updates this task step: Your task 'The Price of Knowledge' has been updated. Eliminate the corrupted beguilers in the Kaesora library 0/3 (Kaesora Library) There are three corrupted beguilers: One in the main library (west part of the zone) and two atop the vault area (east part of the zone -- don't drop down; they're in the two siderooms on either side of the top area). Kill two of them. For the third one, you only need to beat it down to 30%. As of a December 2013 patch, these NPCs are health-locked at 10%, preventing accidental death of the NPC (task should no longer get bugged). As the third beguiler reaches low health, you'll see this: a Corrupted Beguiler says 'WAIT! Please don't kill me! I was just following orders from Gordak. He's the one you want! He brought the new magics. He's why we've had success recently against the dragons. He MUST be the one you want. Not me. NOT ME!' Retrieve the dragonbane enchantment from Coercer Gordak 0/1 (Kaesora Library) Coercer Gordak spawns on the platform near the "AC aug camp". Coercer Gordak draws their weapon, grinning wryly. He is an enchanter and casts an unresistable single-target mez called "Prismatic Radiance" (5 ticks). He is not any more difficult than a typical trash mob. Coercer Gordak has been slain by _____! Coercer Gordak's corpse clutches its throat as the last gasps of air leave the body. Your faction standing with Sebilisian Empire got worse. Your faction standing with Tynoc, Herald of Scale got better. Return the dragonbane enchantment to Jaled`Dar 0/1 (Field of Scale) Your task 'The Price of Knowledge' has been updated. Jaled`Dar's face eases slightly as you hand him the dragonbane enchantment. Though you are not dragonkind, Jaled`Dar views you with new found respect for your contributions to the struggle against the Iksar. Your faction standing with Tynoc, Herald of Scale got better. Reward: Faction A Number of Chronobines (varies) Timeshear Red Fragment Azia Note: The Akromid Crystal has no other use, so can be safely destroyed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
