#There are six types of Blighted creatures that drop [[Blighted Mana Crystal]]s about 2-3% of the time. Collect 10 crystals (from any of the creatures).
# Laedron will give you {{Itemlink|A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes}}.
#Next to each of six nodes is a Node Golem NPC, give your crystals to the golem for an xp reward.
# Kill corrupted creatures near any of the six Tainted Nodes and loot {{Itemlink|Blighted Mana Crystal}}s.

== Retired Activation Phase ==  
== Dungeons & Maps ==
#Speak to [[Laedron the Geomancer]] at 59.9S 88.0W in [[Ayan Baqur]]. He will give you [[A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes]].
No quest dungeons.
#As a server you will need to activate the six nodes:
#* [[Aerlinthe Node Pyramid]]: 84.1N 44.1E ([[Blighted Pyreal Golem]]s)
#* [[A'mun Node Pyramid]]: 38.2S 12.0E ([[Blighted Sotiris Hollow Minion]]s)
#* [[Halaetan Node Pyramid]]: 93.8N 67.4W ([[Blighted Hoary Armoredillo]]s)
#* [[Linvak Node Pyramid]]: 64.8S 59.3E ([[Blighted Dire Ursuin]]s)
#* [[Esper Node Pyramid]]: 62.0N 18.0E ([[Blighted Oak Golem]]s)
#* [[Obsidian Node Pyramid]]: 68.0S 62.2W ([[Blighted Bane Grievver]]s)
#The blighted creatures found near each node will occasionally drop a [[Blighted Mana Crystal]].  The drop rate is roughly 5%.  The crystals found on all six creatures are identical and can be handed into the small pyramid in the center of the node.  The nodes originally required 1,000 crystals each. On Monday, August 4th, Turbine set all unfinished pyramids to 750 crystals -- meaning they only needed 250 crystals to complete them.
#Once a node has been filled with crystals, the small floating pyramid in the center will dissappear.  A  Minion of T'thuun unique to that node will then spawn.  When killed, the minion drops a head, for example [[Head of Obsidian Minion]], which grants a unique title (one per server per node).
#A golem will spawn adjacent to pyramid.  The golem wants 10 mana crystals for additional xp.
#Once all six nodes have been completed, all six golems are available for xp for turning in crystals, however all six comprise a single task (handing to any of them advances your turn in count and the reward is the same no matter which one you use). There are no immediately apparent effects for completing all six (the xp for turning in 10 crystals is the same after finishing all six as before).
