#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).
#Next to each of six nodes is a Node Golem NPC, give your crystals to the golem for an xp reward.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
#Speak to [[Laedron the Geomancer]] at 59.9S 88.0W in [[Ayan Baqur]]. He will give you [[A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes]].
# Laedron will give you {{Itemlink|A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes}}.
#As a server you will need to activate the six nodes:
# Kill corrupted creatures near any of the six Tainted Nodes and loot {{Itemlink|Blighted Mana Crystal}}s.
#* [[Aerlinthe Node Pyramid]]: 84.1N 44.1E ([[Blighted Pyreal Golem]]s)
## [[Blighted Sotiris Hollow Minion]]s near the [[A'mun Node Pyramid]] at 38.2S, 12.0E
#* [[A'mun Node Pyramid]]: 38.2S 12.0E ([[Blighted Sotiris Hollow Minion]]s)
## [[Blighted Dire Ursuin]]s near the [[Linvak Node Pyramid]] at 64.8S, 59.3E
#* [[Halaetan Node Pyramid]]: 93.8N 67.4W ([[Blighted Hoary Armoredillo]]s)
## [[Blighted Hoary Armoredillo]] near the [[Halaetan Node Pyramid]] at 93.8N, 67.4W
#* [[Linvak Node Pyramid]]: 64.8S 59.3E ([[Blighted Dire Ursuin]]s)
## [[Blighted Oak Golem]]s near the [[Esper Node Pyramid]] at 62.0N, 18.0E
#* [[Esper Node Pyramid]]: 62.0N 18.0E ([[Blighted Oak Golem]]s)
## [[Blighted Pyreal Golem]]s near the [[Aerlinthe Node Pyramid]] at 84.1N, 44.1E
#* [[Obsidian Node Pyramid]]: 68.0S 62.2W ([[Blighted Bane Grievver]]s)
## [[Blighted Bane Grievver]]s near the [[Obsidian Node Pyramid]] at 68.0S, 62.2W
#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.
# When you have 10 crystals, give them to the Node Golem found at the Node Pyramid to receive your rewards.
#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).
#The following [[Ancient Powers|event]] saw all nodes on all servers completed and Node Golems in place. This retired the activation portion of the quest and any unclaimed titles will not exist on servers that did not complete all nodes.
