== Quest Overview ==
This quest is for the Prismatic updrade only. You must have already completed the [[Shadow Armor (Quest)|Shadow Armor]] quest beforehand.
The first part of this quest is essentially medium [[Harbinger Quest#Medium Version|Harbinger]] where you first kill the Essences to weaken him, killing the Harbinger for this quest, however, is not necessary.<br>


== General ==
== Walk Through ==
* You must have already completed the [[Shadow Armor (Quest)|Shadow Armor]] quest to upgrade it to Prismatic Shadow Armor.
 
=== Step 1: Arcanum Research Facility ===
<font color=green>'''Optional'''</font> Speak to [[Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist]] in [[Xarabydun]] (41.8S, 15.8E).
# Head to [[Al-Jalima]] (portal in Arwic) and run to the [[Arcanum Research Facility]] at 5.9N 6.3E.
# From the drop head through the north east or north west doors to reach the rooms with the Decanters. Each person needs 4 [[Enchanted Decanter]].
# Now you have the Decanters you must make your way to the Tunnels to the Harbinger in [[Yanshi]].
 
=== Step 2: The Tunnels to the Chamber of Essences ===
* Make sure everyone from your fellow has a [[Harbinger Quest#Harbinger Item|Harbinger Item]] (see below) before starting.
 
# From [[Yanshi]], run to either [[Issk]] @ 12.9S, 46.5E or [[Vincadi]] @ 12.6S 46.7E.
#* '''Note:''' Each NPC offers the same quest, however the lore is different for each.  Flagging with one will prevent you from accessing the other, so be sure your whole group flags with the same NPC.
#* '''Tip:''' Soft tie to the surface portal @ 13.0S, 47.3E for convenience.  If you die, you'll want an easy way to get back quickly.
# When your group is ready, everyone should hand their [[Harbinger Item]] to the NPC (either [[Issk]] or [[Vincadi]]) and then use the nearby [[Tunnels to the Harbinger (Issk)|Tunnels to the Harbinger]] portal to begin.
# Once inside, the dungeon is linear to the bottom (keep heading down).  The only obstacles are a series of 4 jumps that must be made.
#* '''Jump 1: Acid Pit''' - Full jump ahead (land on invisible platform)
#* '''Jump 2: Lava Pit''' - Jump into the pit and take the hallway to the North
#* '''Jump 3: Ice Shelf ''' - Shift-jump down onto the platform above the ice shelf, clear the spawn, and wait for your group.
#* '''Jump 4: Ice/Acid Pit Combo''' - Dispell, then shift Jump down onto the ice shelf and '''quicky''' run to the edge and full jump across the acid pit (land on invisible platform).  The ice ''hurts'', so be quick.
#* '''Jump 5: Staging Area''' - Shift jump down and quickly move to the south (near the portals).
# Take the [[Essence Chamber]] Portal on right, NOT the portal on the left unless you're are prepared to fight the Harbinger!
# Kill each of the 4 Essences, the [[Essence of Strife]], [[Essence of Enchantment]], [[Essence of Artifice]] and the [[Essence of Verdancy]]
# Each will drop multiple Crystallized Essences.
# After all 4 are killed, a portal will spawn to the [[Harbinger]] <font color=red>'''Do not take portal unless you intend to complete the [[Harbinger Quest#Medium Version|Medium Harbinger]] quest.'''</font>
# Combine the Crystallized Essences with 4 [[Enchanted Decanter]].
# Hand the 4 Decanter of Essence of Artifice, Strife, Verdancy and Enchantment to [[Ciandra]] to receive [[Prismatic Oil]].
# Now you can either apply the Oil to a [[Diamond Shield]], a [[Helm of the Elements]], or use it yo upgrade [[Greater Shadow Amuli Leggings]] or [[Greater Shadow Amuli Coat|Coat]] to Prismatic Shadow Amuli. Or you can complete the next stage to upgrade Greater Shadow Alduressa, Celdon and Koujia suits.

=== Upgrading to Prismatic Armor ===
# To activate the Glyph you now need a [[Pyreal Mote]], if you don't have one simple head to the [[Mysterious Cave]] or a [[Hall of Metos]] and kill the Golems there until one drops.
# Once you have a Mote, use the [[Glyph of Alteration]] on it to make a [[Pyreal Glyph]]. Use the [[Prismatic Oil]] upon the Pyreal Glyph to make a [[Prismatic Glyph]].
# Use the Prismatic Glyph on non-Amuli pieces of Greater Shadow armor to make a piece of Prismatic armor.
# The [[Prismatic Oil]] can also be given to [[Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist]] for a small experience reward.
