  • *You must be a level 100 Artisan
  • 10/23/2018 -- The harp was also collected from Tipple's Focus at ( 20, 1, -8 ) Copy -- So don't worry if you zone in there -- you will see the Harp on the left at the coordinates above in the very first room. Good luck!


Steps[]

  2. Head to Phantom Sea and approach Aliena Belzia in Ssraeshza Temple (Heroic) in the northern room before killing the named, or you will need to return. The quest updates when you get close to her.

  4. Obtain:
    • a highly explosive item that can be triggered from within a shield -- resonant umbrite from the last named in Stygian Threshold (Heroic). This is a chest drop and only 1 drops per chest. Only 1 mage can be updated per instance.
    • a shield spell which can withstand an explosion -- a diacoustic aquatic shield spell scroll from Black Bolt in Maldura: Algorithm For Destruction (Heroic). This is a chest drop and only 1 drops per chest. Only 1 mage can be updated per instance.
    • an item that can cause the fragile umbrite crystals to explode via multi-layered high frequency sound waves -- Go to Shimmering Citadel.

        An ornate metal lamp

        The zone-in to Shimmering Citadel: Inside the Bottle/Tipple's Focus

        • You're looking for an ornate metal lamp, NOT the lamp that goes to Sabaron's Palace or the one that goes to Azhar's Penitence. Thus far, only 12 random spawn locations of the 15 possible are known. Once inside, An inaudible harp can be harvested at ( 61, 1, -20 ) Copy to update the quest.
        • Note: this may be bugged and take you to Tipple's Focus or 'A Djinn's Treasure Cache' when you click on it. This may be the case if you haven't completed the prerequisites for this quest, or be at level or chrono to level 50. Complete HQ and ToV quest first to avoid this. Note Update: Remember you should now be able to update this step in Tipple's Focus as of 10/23/2018 -- Please correct this entry if it was a fluke -- check last entry in requirements above.

      3. Kill Tombwatch L'Drykk (105^^^, may need a group, same difficulty as the Scrollkeeper) at the bottom of Lair of the Haunts. All the quest mobs are invisible to group members, forcing the mage to pull them. Once they are in combat, everyone can see the mobs.
      4. Harvest the Dragon Blood Shard on top of the chest at ( -438, -117, 1 ) Copy

  18. Equip the Dragon's Tongue Staff then destroy the rune cube. (The rune cube regens HPs fairly quickly, so don't expect to just hit it once and have it die.)
