Well that could be the dumbest thing I have seen for progression now that i Have figured it out. You cannot finish Partisan of stratos flight (T1) until you do smoke trial, then do some partisan quests from T2 zone. sure hope you do it all at once because you cannot get back into Realms of Ash later if your smoke instance times out if you have not passed all 5 trials yet. You have to do a new trial each time. WTF are they thinking? no wonder nobody is in these zones...
I am curious about the definition of keyed. You can't just zone in, you need to complete the trial of smoke first. That seems keyed to me. Is Keyed being used in a different manner?
