| |
| === Overview ===
| |
| * The quest this month is drawn out over several weeks, with each "week" a minimum of six days between steps. You start the quest at Week One and do the what is required for that week, then you must wait at least six days before you can do the next week's part.
| |
| * There is some degree of divergence based on your choices, which can net you additional dialog and an extra title.
| |
| | |
| === Week One ===
| |
| # '''Required First Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1E and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]]. This is to flag for the use of the randomly spawning Resonant portals.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' While in [[Mar'uun]], go to the portal research area area, north of the main loop of the town and across the bridge. You'll need to jump the gap in the bridge. Climb the stairs to the west and find a hole on the wooden floor. Jump down and pick up the [[Scrap of Paper]]. This will be worth 1 million experience points in Week Three, so hang on to it.
| |
| # Search the western Direlands (i.e. Ayan, Lethe areas) until you find a white Resonant Portal (no level restrict, no summon/tie/recall).
| |
| # Use the portal to travel to Mar'uun at a point in time somewhere during Coldeve, 20 P.Y, AKA February 2009, [[Unfinished Business]], the patch Mar'uun was first introduced. The Virindis Jean and Luc are not present, neither is [[Kaywin]] the machinist, and Marcus and Wren are conducting the original experiments.
| |
| # Proceed to the portal space research area north of the main loop and across the bridge. Speak with [[Wren the Curious]] and [[Marcus Manfried]]. During your interactions with Marcus, you are presented with the option to reveal to him about the arrival of Jean and Luc via a Yes/No Dialog Box.
| |
| # After making your choice, you will be told to come back in a week's time.
| |
| #:<font color=green>You think you have already done everything you can here for now.
| |
| #:If time progresses in this lost place the people here will soon learn more.
| |
| #:It seems like a good idea to check back in a week's time.</font>
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' The Test Portal can be used for 1 million experience if you didn't do so prior to Mar'uun's destruction. The Test Portal sends you to the wooden platform above it, but in the present day destroyed Mar'uun. Make sure you do everything you want in this version of Mar'uun before you do this.
| |
| # Once you've talked to the NPCs once and have left, you cannot return for six days.
| |
| #:<font color=green>There is no response from the portal.
| |
| #:The portal seems to be out of phase.
| |
| #:It seems that you may be in phase with this portal within a week.</font>
| |
| === Week Two ===
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1E and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]].Find the [[Scrap of Paper]] as described in Week One. This is for another 1 million experience in Week Three.
| |
| # Search the western Direlands again for the Resonant Portal.
| |
| # Talk to [[Jean]] and [[Luc]] at the portal drop. A dialog box will appear asking "Would you like to confront the Virindi about their presence in Mar'uun?". You can answer Yes or No. Answering Yes gives additional dialog.
| |
| # Proceed to the portal space research area. You'll notice Wren isn't in her usual spot but rather inside the nearby room staring at the wall. She doesn't say much when you talk to her. Also, the Test Portal is now the Enhanced Test Portal.
| |
| # Talk to Marcus to receive the [[Research Notes]], which he asks you to take to an [[Arcanum Researcher]].
| |
| #* If you told him about the Virindi last week, he will award you 1,000,000 xp.
| |
| #* If you didn't tell him about the Virindi last week, he will award you 750,000 xp.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Hand the Research Notes to Jean or Luc. They will just examine them and give you some dialog.
| |
| # Take the [[Research Notes]] to any [[Arcanum Researcher]] in any one of the capital heritage libraries. The Arcanum Researcher will examine them and direct you to give them to [[Ned the Clever]] in [[Zaikhal]].
| |
| # Give the Research Notes to Ned and he will give you [[Aetherium Research Notes]]. He directs you to give these to Marcus.
| |
| # You must wait a six days before you can enter the random Resonant portal again to give the [[Aetherium Research Notes]] to Marcus.
| |
| === Week Three ===
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1E and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]].Find the [[Scrap of Paper]] as described in Week One. This is for another 1 million experience.
| |
| # Search the western Direlands again for the Resonant Portal.
| |
| # You now have two different '''divergent''' set of steps you can follow.
| |
| #* Hand your [[Aetherium Research Notes]] to Jean or Luc. They will keep the notes so you will be unable to turn them into to Marcus. They award you 250,000 xp.
| |
| #* Talk to Marcus and he will award you 750,000 xp and give you [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]].<br />'''Or you can'''
| |
| #* Hand the [[Aetherium Research Notes]] to Marcus for 1 million xp and the [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]].
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Give your Scraps of Paper to [[Kaywin]] who is at the Stabilizing Machine behind the portal space research area, near where you found them in the destroyed Mar'uun. She will award you 1 million experience apiece.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Allow Jean or Luc to examine the [[Research Notes (Week 3)|Research Notes]]. They will not keep the Notes.
| |
| # Take the Research Notes to [[Ned the Clever]] in [[Zaikhal]]. He will hand you [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to deliver to Marcus next week.
| |
| === Week Four ===
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Go to 10.6S, 17.1E and use the Resonant Portal to enter the destroyed [[Mar'uun]].Find the [[Scrap of Paper]] as described in Week One. This is to give to Kaywin for another 1 million experience. Note that this is the last time you can do this.
| |
| # Search the western Direlands again for the Resonant Portal.
| |
| # You now have two different '''divergent''' set of steps you can follow.
| |
| #* Hand your [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to Jean or Luc. They will keep the notes so you will be unable to turn them into to Marcus. They will award you 250,000 xp. If you handed '''all''' of the previous Notes (Research Notes and Aetherium Research Notes) to the Virindi then they will give you the title ''Virindi Informer''.
| |
| #* Talk to Marcus and he will award you 750,000 xp and the title ''Timeless Adventurer''.<br />'''Or you can'''
| |
| #* Hand the [[Aetherium Research Notes (Week 3)|Aetherium Research Notes]] to Marcus for 1 million xp and the title ''Timeless Aventurer''.
| |
| # '''Optional Step:''' Give the [[Scrap of Paper]] to [[Kaywin]] who is found at her old spot by the Stabilizing Machine. She will award you 1 million experience.
| |
| === Beyond Week Four ===
| |
| * If you exit Mar'uun, perhaps via the surface portal, and use the Resonant Portal at 10.6S, 17.1E, it will portal you into a different version of Mar'uun before it was destroyed. Mar'uun is now stable, and using the resonant portal at 10.6S, 17.1E will now always transport this character to this version of Mar'uun.
| |
| * It appears this version of Mar'uun is identical to the version that was available during the [[Secrets of the Apostates]] patch, the month before the disaster.
| |
| * [[Kaywin]] in this version doesn't know what to do with the [[Scrap of Paper]] but she gives the [[Machinist's Gloves Quest]] as usual.
| |
| * You will be unable to enter the random Resonant Portal in the Direlands once you complete Week 4.

| ==== Week 1 ====
| |
| | |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "Thank you for all your assistance. We have gathered what we can from our understanding of your personal properties, the sum of the things you've done and how that interacted with our experimental portals."<br></font>
| |
| <font color=green>You tell Marcus about what you've seen in Mar'uun.<br></font>
| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "We're here to do serious research, I'm really not interested in your ghost stories."<br></font>
| |
| <font color=green>You think you need to find some way to make him believe you.<br></font>
| |
| '''Dialog Box asks you if you want to tell him about the Virindi, you can click Yes or No'''<br>
| |
| '''If you click Yes and tell him about the Virindi:'''<br>
| |
| :<font color=green>You tell Marcus about the Virindi, Jean and Luc who will soon be moving into town.<br></font>
| |
| :<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "You expect me to believe that Virindi are going to materialize here out of the blue?"<br>
| |
| :Marcus Manfried tells you, "I'm not certain which of your stories is the least likely..."<br></font>
| |
| '''If you click No and don't tell him about the Virindi:'''<br>
| |
| :<font color=green>You elect not to tell Marcus about the Virindi, it may be best not to upset him any further.<br>
| |
| :It seems like it would be a good idea to talk to the assistant as well.<br></font>
| |
| | |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Wren the Curious tells you, "Thank you for your assistance as a test subject. We could use more good subjects like you."<br></font>

| |
| <font color=darkgoldenrod>Wren the Curious tells you, "I'm really not certain who you are, but we're trying to work here. Please leave me alone!"<br></font>
| |
| | |
| <font color=green>You think you have already done everything you can here for now.<br>
| |
| It seems like a good idea to check back in a week's time.<br>
| |
| If time progresses in this lost place the people here will soon learn more.<br></font>
