Quest Overview
- As of the Secrets of the Apostates (May 2009) patch, you no longer need to do the Portal Space Research Quest to gain access to Crystalline Crag. Previously the quest was needed to access the area where the Markers are found.
- Only do 5 crystals at a time. For example, find the markers in the 70+ dungeon then return to the NPC and get the reward then go find the next 5 in the 90+ dungeon. If you find all the markers at once then the quest bugs and you will not receive a reward. See: the post on the AC Turbine Forums about this. NOTE: This issue appears to have been resolved.
Walk Through
Level 70+ Section
- Speak to Jyotsana at the Crystalline Crag drop.
- Find the beginning of the floating platforms that extend from the side of the Plateau.
- Jump from platform to platform until you reach the mountain where the 1st Crystal (Marker) is. Double click the crystal to find it.
- Note: Only the parts of platforms that fade in and out are solid. The parts that never fade are ethereal and you will fall thru them
- Optional: Once you get the first marker keep going across the platforms till you reach the Bound Wisp.
- Jump down and return to the Resonant Portal to get portaled back to the Plateau.
- Run to the Crystalline Portal dungeon on the Plateau. Its at the opposite end from the Resonant Portal drop at 17.0S 61.2W.
- The last 4 Crystal (Marker)s are in this dungeon. Run through the dungeon and keep going down. There are some pits you have to jump down on the way. You will find the Crystal markers throughout the dungeon.
- 2: Center of top level
- 3: Center of middle level
- 4: Center of bottom level
- 5: South side of 2nd level
- Once you have used all 5 Crystal (Marker)s return to Jyotsana for a reward.
Level 90+ Section
- At the bottom of the 70+ dungeon is a pit with the 5th Marker Crystal where there's another Crystalline Portal that is restricted to levels 90+. There are five more Marker Crystals in this dungeon (6th to 10th).
- Run through the dungeon and use each of the 5 crystals, see map below for locations.
- Once you have used all 5 Crystal (Marker)s return to Jyotsana for a reward. Note that currently you must do markers 1-5 and speak to the NPC, then return and do 6-10, the quest can bug if you do 6-10 first.
Level 110+ Section
- At the bottom of the 90+ dungeon is a pit with the 10th Marker Crystal where there's another Crystalline Portal that is restricted to levels 110+. There are five more Marker Crystals in this dungeon (11th to 15th, see map for locations).
- You can find the markers easiest in the order of their numbers. The dungeon can be confusing so use the map to get a better idea of layout but these directions will get you through.
- 11: Exit Northwest from the drop room. Stay right till you go up a ramp. Once at the top of the ramp stay left till you reach the marker.
- 12:From 11 jump back into the drop room. Exit through the south passage in the Southwest corner of the room. Stick to your left and you will go up a ramp then down back into the lava. Take the first left and then stay to your right until you reach the marker.
- 13: From 12 stick to your right. You will come to a point where you will go down into the lava tubes then very quickly back up. After that happens you will see a loop in the hallway. After you pass the loop you must start going left. Take the second passage you see on your left and follow it to the marker.
- 14: From 13 take the first passage on your right. The keep to your left until you reach a large open area. Once in the open area stick to your right until you come to the marker.
- 15: From 14 stick to your right until you come to a large room that appears to be a dead end. There in a ramp in the middle of the floor concealed by the lava. You have to feel it out. Go down until you find the marker.

Notes
- The markers have specific numbers assigned to them. So if you happen to enter the dungeon and use the 5th Marker first it will say you've found the 5th marker even if its the first one you found. This makes it hard to remember how many you have left.
