Quest Overview
- This is the quest that flags you to enter the Resonant Portal, which provides access to the Crystalline Crag.
Walk Through
Optional Step
Go to the Resonant Portal at 14.6S 62.2W. Double click the portal and you will get a green message but not be portaled anywhere.
- Route: Use the Izji Qo's Portal Device at your mansion.
- The portal emanates an odd thrumming sound. The vibrations through the air seem foreign to even you, an experienced portal traveler.
- This will result in a slightly different response from the NPCs and the Test Portal but as far as we know does not give any benefit.
Required Steps
- Enter the Mar'uun portal at 10.6S, 17.1E.
- The dungeon is a town with regular vendor NPCs and no monsters. In the dungeon find the area with 2 NPCs conducting portal space experiments.
- Talk to Marcus Manfried then Wren the Curious and he will direct you to enter the Test portal there by double clicking it.
- If you didn't go to the Resonant Portal it will only portal you a short distance away.
- You've earned 1,000,000 experience.
- Test Portal teleports you with Test Portal.
- If you went to the Resonant Portal before you went to Mar'uun you may get portaled to a strange area called the Portal Space Eddy where lots of portal space energy is flowing (it looks like the Portal Space dungeon from the Invoker quest). After a few seconds you will be portaled back to Mar'uun near the NPCs.
- You've earned 1,000,000 experience.
- Test Portal teleports you with Portal Space Eddy.
- Portal Space Eddy teleports you with Test Portal.
- You've earned 1,000,000 experience.
- If you didn't go to the Resonant Portal it will only portal you a short distance away.
- Talk to the two NPCs again and you will be flagged to enter the Resonant Portal.
- Go to the Resonant Portal and double click it. It will now portal you to the top of the Crystalline Crag.
- Your resonance is now properly in tune with that of the portal.
- Resonant Portal teleports you with Crystalline Portal.
Lore & Dialog
Marcus Manfried says, "We need to stay organized to maintain the validity of our experiments."
Marcus Manfried says, "Starting next iteration..."
Marcus Manfried tells you, "Sorry about that, I needed to finish initializing the current iteration of our portal experiments."
Marcus Manfried tells you, "Our current experimentation is intended to further understand and possibly bypass the restrictions of certain portals."
Marcus Manfried tells you, "This is only our current round of experiments. We're hoping to unlock all the secrets of portal space and time."
Marcus Manfried tells you, "You can talk to me again if you would like to assist us."
Marcus Manfried says, "Process complete. Observe the results and make the proper notations."
Wren the Curious tells you, "The process has been prepared. When you are ready use the test portal."
Response if you used the Resonant Portal prior to going to Mar'uun:
Marcus Manfried tells you, "When you came in here I detected some indications that you've interacted with a portal with some strange properties. Could you tell me about the portals you've encountered recently?"
You describe the long list of portals that you have interacted with recently.
Marcus Manfried tells you, "You've really been around haven't you?"
Marcus Manfried tells you, "Could you tell me more about the portal in the direlands surrounded by crystals?"
Marcus Manfried tells you, "Very good, I think I can help you out. Just talk to my assistant and he'll do what I believe is required to assist you in entering the portal you've described."
You describe everything you know about the resonant portal you found in the direlands.
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."
Wren the Curious tells you, "Thank you for your assistance as a test subject. We could use more good subjects like you."
Marcus Manfried says, "Yes, we were able to obtain valuable information from the results of your portaling."
Marcus and Wren's Conversations:
Wren the Curious says, "This is never going to work..."
Marcus Manfried says, "Don't get discouraged and be patient."
Marcus Manfried says, "Continue to monitor the mana flow."
Marcus Manfried says, "We need to examine the properties associated with this modulation."
Wren the Curious says, "I'm examining the modulation of the portal... now."
Wren the Curious says, "Where did I place those documents..."
Marcus Manfried says, "We need to stay organized to maintain the validity of our experiments."
Marcus Manfried says, "We're never going to make any progress at this rate. We need to bring in some test subjects."
Marcus Manfried says, "Examining portal differential."
Wren the Curious says, "Examination in process."
Marcus Manfried says, "We need to examine the properties associated with this modulation."
Wren the Curious says, "I'm examining the modulation of the portal... now."

Marcus Manfried says, "We need to examine the properties associated with this modulation."
Wren the Curious says, "I'm examining the modulation of the portal... now."
Wren the Curious says, "When do we expect to get new test subjects?"
Marcus Manfried says, "We should have more subjects any time now. This place has no lack of adventurers."
Wren the Curious says, "Where did I place those documents..."
Marcus Manfried says, "We need to stay organized to maintain the validity of our experiments."
Marcus Manfried says, "We're never going to make any progress at this rate. We need to bring in some test subjects."
Marcus Manfried says, "Adjusting resonance."
Wren the Curious says, "Adjusting resonance."
