Walk Through

1. Speak to Laedron the Geomancer at 59.9S 88.0W in Ayan Baqur. He will give you A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes.
2. As a server you will need to activate the six nodes:
   • Aerlinthe Node Pyramid: 84.1N 44.1E (Blighted Pyreal Golems)
   • A'mun Node Pyramid: 38.2S 12.0E (Blighted Sotiris Hollow Minions)
   • Halaetan Node Pyramid: 93.8N 67.4W (Blighted Hoary Armoredillos)
   • Linvak Node Pyramid: 64.8S 59.3E (Blighted Dire Ursuins)
   • Esper Node Pyramid: 62.0N 18.0E (Blighted Oak Golems)
   • Obsidian Node Pyramid: 68.0S 62.2W (Blighted Bane Grievvers)
3. Near each node a species of blighted creature can be found that will occassionally drop a Blighted Mana Crystal which is then given to the node. Crystals can be given to any node from any of the six creatures (they are interchangable). Each node requires 1000 crystals, Verdantine was the first to reach the halfway milestone of 500 on Wednesday afternoon (July 30th), about one week after the patch went live. Thistledown followed the following day (confirming that it's 500).
   • The pyramid's light is strengthening, but there will be a long way to go before it is restored. It has not yet reached half strength.

Lore & Dialog

Laedron the Geomancer tells you, "Greetings! Are you here to help reclaim the land's ley lines from the corruption of T'thuun? At the behest of our noble Queen Elysa, the mage Asheron has raised six pyramids over the most tainted ley nodes in Dereth, the sites most under the grip of the wicked creature T'thuun. These pyramids must be powered! Certain creatures found in the vicinity of those nodes sometimes bear tiny crystals of concentrated, tainted mana."
Laedron the Geomancer tells you, "Bring these crystals to each of the pyramids! Once a pyramid has been sufficiently stoked by brave Derethians such as yourself, all that will be required to defeat T'thuun's power at that site is to destroy the guardian that T'thuun has stationed there... I have written a book that explains all this. I'll give you one now..."
Laedron the Geomancer gives you A Field Guide to Tainted Nodes.
