== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
For Flagging for Bur for characters 80+, see [[Asheron's Departure]]. The notes you receive contain hints for the flagging for higher level characters.
This guide briefly explains how to get characters level 15-79 to be flagged to use the [[Portal to Bur]]. For more details, see the individual quest guides linked to in the walk through. For information on flagging for characters level 80 and above, see [[Asheron's Departure]].


== Walk Through ==
The notes you receive from these quests contain hints for the flagging for higher level characters.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# Enter the [[Folthid Cellar]] to get the [[Ancient Shard of Metal]].
# As part of the [[Dagger of Tikola Quest]], obtain the {{Itemlink|Ancient Shard of Metal}} and present it to [[Felscuda]]. She will give you the {{Itemlink|Ruminations on Portal Creation}}.
# Hand this shard of metal to [[Felscuda]] to receive the [[Ruminations on Portal Creation]]
# As part of the [[Mountain Sewer Quest]], obtain the {{Itemlink|Inscribed Purple Gem}} and present it to [[Bretself the Translator]]. He will give you the {{Itemlink|Letter to Bretself the Translator}}.
# Enter [[Mountain Sewer]], 15+, at 29.8S 93.9E near [[Tou-Tou]].
# As part of the [[Metos Motes]] quest, obtain {{Itemlink|Metos Pyreal Mote}}s and present them to the [[Golem Warden of Metos]]. It will give you {{Itemlink|Ruminations and Warnings on Portal Creation}}.
# Make your way to the end of the dungeon, and find a heap of portal gems. Grab an [[Inscribed Purple Gem]]
# Obtaining all three of these notes flags your character to use the [[Portal to Bur]].
# Bring the Gem to [[Bretself the Translator]] to receive the [[Letter to Bretself the Translator]]
#* {{Warning}} Only characters level 1-79 can be flagged this way. Once flagged, it is permanent. You '''do not''' need to complete [[Asheron's Departure]] at level 80.
# Go to all 3 [[Halls of Metos]], and at the end, find the [[Metos Pyreal Mote]]s. Hand the motes to an altar in the Yaraq [[Halls of Metos]], and a [[Golem Warden of Metos]] will appear. It will give you the [[Ruminations and Warnings on Portal Creation]] and the reward.

== Detailed Walk-Through ==
 
Partly obtained from Turbine forums by an unknown author:
 
* [[Dagger of Tikola Quest]]
Easiest is [[Dagger of Tikola Quest]]. Do the quest as normal. In the final room, either in the chest or in the sclavus loot, there is an [[Ancient Shard of Metal]]. Give this to [[Felscuda]] (outside the cellar). If you are level 79 or lower, she gives you a note which has a clue to solving the 80+ flagging.
 
 
* [[Mountain Sewer]]
Next is the [[Mountain Sewer]] outside [[Tou-Tou]]. If you're doing this on a lower level (20 or so) you might want to get flagged for the zefir kill task in [[Shoushi]] for an extra 150k exp. Speaking to the zefir kill task NPC will also get you a note with the coords of the dungeon.
 
Once inside the dungeon, head S until you see the surface portal in a room full of zefirs. Go N from there, through this and another zefir room. Keep going, down a few ramps, to a corridor with rats and a split off to the right. <i> Note: The map on ACMaps indicates a locked door here, but it's a normal door.</i> Go right, into the section with undead and right again. A heap of portal gems seems to be behind a locked door, but taking a detour to your right through the other rooms will get you there.
 
Bring the gem to [[Bretself the Translator]] in [[Cragstone]] for another note.
 
 
* [[Halls of Metos]]
Lastly, you must collect special motes from the [[Ayan Baqur]] and [[Wai Jhou]] [[Halls of Metos]], and bring them to the [[Golem Warden of Metos]] in the [[Tufa]] [[Halls of Metos]].
 
The [[Ayan Baqur]] [[Halls of Metos]] is at (56.0S, 89.2W).
 
The [[Wai Jhou]] [[Halls of Metos]] is at (61.4S, 46.6W).
 
The [[Tufa]] [[Halls of Metos]] is at (4.4S, 0.6W). This dungeon should be visited last.
 
The layout of all three dungeons is exactly the same, and there is essentially only one route to the end. Collect the motes found in the last room of the first two dungeons and give them to the [[Golem Warden of Metos]] in the last room of the [[Tufa]] [[Halls of Metos]].
 
* Completing this quest with a character below level 80 will flag you for entrance to [[Bur]].

I am not certain precisely where he intended to open a portal to, but the gems were to be a power source. The inscription reads, simply, "Property of Asheron Realaidain," nothing more."

Bretself the Translator tells you, "I shall share with you the letter I received. Perhaps it will tell you more about the gem and its uses. I'll also give you this trade note as payment for the gem - I am supposed to retain them, but I can at least offer you fair market value for them."

The golem speaks in a normal voice - perhaps Empyrean by its accent.

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "For you who have come this far, I leave a message. Your diligence is appreciated, even applauded, but you should not attempt to reconstruct the portal to Bur. I have learned only too well the risks associated with opening portals to other worlds, and alloing them to remain open. It is better if my portal remains closed. I should be able to repoen it when it is time for me to return. At this point, I shall hopefully have with me a solution to the Burun problem."

Golem Warden of Metos tells you, "Also, I imagine that Metos would have appreciated if I mention that there are no inactive golems available for you. Unfortunately, I required the last one for the portal ritual."

A piece of paper is ejected from the golem slowly, which you take.

Golem Warden of Metos gives you Ruminations and Warnings on Portal Creation.
