  • Make sure everyone from your fellow has a Harbinger Item (see below) before starting. You must have

Step 1: The Tunnels

  1. 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.
  2. 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 portal to begin.
  3. Once inside, the dungeon is linear to the bottom (keep heading down). The only obsticals are a series of 4 jumps that must be made.
    • Jump 1: Acid Pit Full Jump Ahead
    • 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 shelf, clear the spawn, and wait for your group.
    • Jump 4: Ice/Acid Pit Dispell, then shift Jump down onto the ice shelf and quicky run to the edge and full jump across the acid pit. The ice hurts, so be quick.
    • Jump 5: Staging Area Shift jump down and quickly move to the south (near the portals).
  4. At this point, everyone should rebuff, and when ready, use the Harbinger's Lair portal to begin the fight.

Lore & Dialog

You give Vincadi Bloodthirsty Monouga Idol.
Vincadi tells you, "You have chosen to enhance your understanding of Weapon Tinkering."
Vincadi tells you, "If you are not already aware of the fundamentals of this skill you will earn nothing. You have been warned. Now enter the Harbinger's Lair so that we might one day reach our goal."


"It cannot be. I am the well of world blood given consciousness, your blades should not matter. They will not stop me. I will not fall to darkness. I will not listen to her sweet song. They both mean to imprison me for their own purposes. No! I shall return, I have tasted freedom, I shall rise again!"


Vincadi tells you, "You have done well to earn your reward."
Your base Weapon Tinkering skill is now 526 and has reached its upper limit!


You give Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist Harbinger Arm Token.
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist tells you, "Ah, excellent, an arm from the Harbinger! Oh, just look at the glow it has! That's thaumic residue from the absorbtion of the Essences! This is so exciting, I can't wait to begin testing this! Here take this as a reward for helping to keep the Harbinger in check. Return it to me if you would prefer a different reward."
Ciandra, Arcanum Alchemist gives you Harbinger Arm Guard.
