Description

Located at 14.6S, 62.0W, the Crystalline Crag is a large plateau in the middle Direlands. Previously just barren land, in Coldeve, 20 P.Y. the plateau changed drastically, covered in charred ground and large crystal formations.
Accessed via the Resonant Portal at 14.6S 62.2W. Although not displayed in the description, is level 50+.
During the Secrets of the Apostates patch a large crater appeared near the Crystalline Crag. The Crater cannot be accessed from outside. You must complete the quest in the 130+ Crystalline Portal dungeon in order to find the way into the crater. As of now the crater is unpopulated but a blocked tunnel is found in the crater. It will likely be the location of the next part of the Crystalline Adventurer series of quests.
As of the Secrets of the Apostates (May) patch, you no longer need to do the Portal Space Research Quest to gain access to Crystalline Crag. Previously the quest was needed to flag you to use the Resonant Portal.

Leveling

Care bears: You can hunt on the plateau or within the dungeon located to the South on any level. Darktide: Plateau hunting is risky with the large amount of pk traffic. A suggestion would be to hunt in the depths of the dungeon located to the South. As you will notice there are several levels to the dungeons; each more difficult than the previous level and some more confusing, especially in the 90+ and 110+ sections.

Route

Use the Portal to Izji Qo's Temple at your allegiance mansion.
If you don't have access to a mansion device then head to Baishi and purchase a Sake from Kiun Baicho the Barkeeper. From Baishi, run to the Drunken Madman at 53.0S, 61.0E. Give him the sake and use the gateway he summons. From Walled Portals, take the Outside Accursed Halls Portal. Climb the walls, jump outside, and proceed to the Resonant Portal at 14.6S 62.2W
