Materials Required[]

At least:

While in Aurelian Coast, locate the Fordel Midst Tunnel ( 140, 87, -496 ) Copy/waypoint 139.71, 86.93, -495.93, and follow it until you reach the door (portal) at ( 172, 62, -676 ) Copy/waypoint 171.93, 61.89, -676.22 to enter Fordel Midst: Investigating the Shadow Haven.
Make your way to the library at ( 741, -9, -705 ) Copy/waypoint 741.37, -8.55, -704.99
- NOTE: Avoid the glowing orange urns.
  
  A glowing urn
Pick up the book near the base of the toppled bookcase ( 772, -8, -739 ) Copy/waypoint 772, -8, -739.
- NOTE: The Recipe Scroll: Spectral Recipes auto-scribes.
- NOTE: You might not see the Spectral Essence of Midst and Spectral Essence of Fordel at this time. The work around is to leave the zone and reset the zone, zone back and then you will be able to see them

Gather at least 7 Spectral Essence of Midst from small black-ball lightning nodes
Gather at least 7 Spectral Essence of Fordel from blue blubbling nodes. Note: Nodes are trackable. Two pulls per node.
Click the coal scuttle by the workbench to get the Spectral Coruscating Coal.

Recipe book

Craft True-Sight Spectracles on the Fordel Midst Workstation at ( 793, -9, -762 ) Copy/waypoint 792.73, -8.55, -761.71
Find an alternate exit
1. Craft Spectral Phasing Spray on the Fordel Midst Workstation. (You need to use this on the Blacksmiths.)
  - Optionally craft Spectral Tethering Chains as well.
2. Make your way back to the entrance and use the door at ( 485, -23, -532 ) Copy/waypoint 484.97, -23.44, -531.64
  - Use the True-Sight Spectracles to get through the spectral doors.
  - Use Spectral Phasing Spray and Spectral Tethering Chains to neutralize the various hostile creatures in the zone.
    - NOTE: The spray and chains both take much longer than usual to neutralize the threat. Stay as far away as possible.
    - A VoV-equipped 120+ adventurer should be able to easily kill the hostile spectral apparitions, eliminating the time sink for using the spray and/or chains. The spray is still needed for the next step, so don't forget to craft it.
3. Proceed to ( -123, -1, 5 ) Copy/waypoint -122.89, -1.46, 4.84
  - Continuing using the spectral devices.
Use Spectral Phasing Spray on the Purihni "The Edge" Fordel III and Gundeg "The Anvil" Midst around ( -115, -1, 18 ) Copy/waypoint -114.84, -1.46, 17.76.
- (Note: If you are having trouble finding them, make sure you have your "Spectracles" activated in order to see them.)
Speak to Purihni to obtain the next quest.
