Walthrough
Step 1: The Hidden Vale, The Shadowed Grove, or Guild Hall
-Hail Elsra Emissary of Neriak in one of these three zones.
-Say "solo" to get her quest speech started
-She hands you a Note to take to Vesmund Ti`Then in Temple of Solusek Ro
Step 2: Temple of Solusek Ro
-Take the Letter to Vesmund who is located in the back of the temple through the invisible wall.
-Vesmund Tells you that he wants proof that you are capable of working on this task, he tells you to find a powerful artifact of Innoruuk.
Step 3: Upper Guk
-Head to Upper guk, quickest way there is through Lguk then just turn around and zone in.
-You are looking for the mob Tempus He is the trigger for the Froglok Librarian Its difficult to explain how to find him, hes past the stones where the spiders are, in a room onlyh accessable to dropping into the water and swiming to it.
-The librarian isnt an easy fight! if your a new 70 bring some friends, shouldnt be too hard for you if your in Kael/Ssra gear, might still want a box or a friend to help, hes got a lot of hp.
-He drops The Vision of Inoruuk Take this back to Vesmund in Temple of Sol Ro.
Step 4: Temple of Sol ro
-Turn the vision into Vesmund who then gives you a task to search for his 4 assistants. The first assistant can be found in The Field of Bone.
This is where you can break from finding NPCs: at the moment you dont need to be on that step of the quest to get the mob drops or find the ground spawns. So personally i found it easier to get all the ground drops and the drops you need from mobs, THEN i went after the individual quest npcs. Since thats the direction i went thats how im going to write this guide up. If you wish to go in order, reference below these next steps and just reference back up here for the locations. Below are the locations of all the ground drops:
Ground Drop Locations
Chaotic Water Stones:
-Halas when you port in from Normal zone fairy, turn around facing the water and large bag is on the ground, thats your stone!
-Dagnors Cauldron near Butcherblock zone

-Timorous Deep @ the Elvish outpost, the zone in point form the BB zone in.
Loc: -5155.02, -4158.31, +11.85
-Ocean of Tears, From zone in form the BB docks, turn around and head north into the first hut, this bag isnt like the others, in that its a small bag where-as the others are the large ones.
Chaotic Fire Stones
-Nagafens Lair (solb), in the Kobold Kings/Tagrins Spawn, large bag on floor cant miss it.
-Skyfire, when you zone in from normal zone porter, look out into the zone and the bag is RIGHT in front of you.

Elemental Orb Drop Locations:
The elemental orbs drop from the Overlord of each element, there are 4 in total, just like 4 sets of ground drops (amazing i know!). In order to spawn each Overlord you must kill the 4 feral elementals that are at the spawn point, when they are dead the overlord will spawn.
Lake Rathetear, Water Orb:
Head Directly East from the zone out of The Arena, on the west side of the first large island (one with the Aviak Ladder), swim underneath the water and find the Cave Tunnel Entrance, follow the tunnel until you reach a tower, kill the 4 Feral Water Elementals, after they die Tide Water Overlord Will spawn in the top of the tower. Kill him and loot the Water Orb.
Solusek Eye (Sola), Fire Orb:
Head to Solusek's Eye (Sola), the location of these elementals is very difficult to explain, and i found locations to be useless here. Do some digging around by the Gnome area - if you are familiar with the zone, the spawn in the lava chamber near the old CGS camp.
Kill the 4 Feral Fire Elementals and spawn the Flame Overlord loot the fire orb.
Plane of Air (airplane), Air Orb:
Zone into the plane of sky, (airplane) from normal zone porter, on the first island are the 4 Feral Air Elementals kill them and spawn the Air Overlord, loot the air orb.
Eastern Karana, Earth Orb:
Here you are limited by your Client, if you are using SoD, you have to zone to Ek through Runnyeye --> Gorge of King Xorbb --> EK, then hoof it all the way across the zone to right next to the HPH zone, if your using Titanium, zone into Highpass keep, out into HPH and then into EK, and drop off the edge of the gorge (use levi!) and you will find the 4 Feral Earth Elemental, kill them, kill the Earth Overlord, Loot the stone.
At this point if you have the ground drops and the 4 elemental orbs, you are on the home stretch. only 2 parts remain, the rest of the NPCs and the tradeskill portion of the Quest.

This is the point where the Tradeskills kick in. I will post the 4 Recipies you need, but from there making them etc is your responsibility. The items required for the zones all drop in Kael/Chardok/Icewell/Postorms/Ssra, so there are plenty of places to farm what you will need. Best of Luck Tradeskilling!
Each item requires using, JC, Tailoring and blacksmithing
Chaotic Potion of Air
Chaotic Potion of Earth
Chaotic Potion of Water
Chaotic Potion of Fire
When you are finished with the Tradeskill portions, return to Althea. Take the stone she gives you back to Elsra the Emissary.
Congratulations on your New Aura! You will have the opportunity to review each one before picking your final Choice from her!
