Nobles Causeway

Beware of, the Blighted. You have been warned!!

This is a comprehensive guide. Sit back and enjoy the grind!

Overview

The mobs in this zone have regen that scales based on number of people in group or raid, even if not in Nobles Causeway. The antithesis clickies are a necessity without donor gear to overcome the regen on most blighted named. The antithesis clicks are best to spam on the respective mob type. After using the antithesis click enough times the blue emote will eventually turn green and the regenerative aspect of blighted mobs will be completely negated.

Quests

• Ghillie's Research - Main Quest
• Antithesis Quests - Blighted Regen Nerf Items
• Upgraded PoTactics Spell/Disc
• Unlocking the Totems

Spell/Disc Quest-Upgraded PoTactics Spell (Quest giver-Researcher Havareth)

• Note: This quest DOES NOT appear in the quest tracker.
• Acquire all 8 Fragmented Words from mobs in Nobles Causeway
  • They are Lore and tradeable
  • The 8 Fragmented Words are Des, Fir, Kor, Lum, Rah, Sci, Sen and Ven
• Once all 8 are acquired Hail Researcher Havareth and go through his dialogue
  • The Fragmented Words turned in must be in a specific order, always random from character to character.
• To determine the order of the words, and the 4 that are required for your spell/disc , you must approach 4 totems located around the zone. Each totem will play a series of emotes with a number 1-4 being in the emotes.
  • The number mentioned in the emote determines which number of the turn in the word for this totem is going to be, so write it down.
• When the emotes finish an Awakened Guardian will spawn that takes 7 of the 8 Fragmented Words from your character (even takes from the bank) and leaves you with the word required for your turn in.
• Kill the Awakened Guardian to get the 7 other words back.
• Repeat this process for the remaining 3 totems to figure out the Fragmented Words needed and the order to turn in.
  • I.E. If i go to the totem and receive an emote talking about three claw marks, the Fragmented Word that is left in my inventory after spawning the Awakened Guardian will be the third Fragmented Word I place in the trade window for turn-in.
• With the Fragmented Words and the order known, return to Researcher Havareth and hand them in to receive an upgraded PoTactics spell for your class.
• Immediately head to Haven to complete the Unlocking the Totems quest (next quest in walkthrough)

Unlocking the Totems Quest (Quest giver-Researcher Karath)

Note: This quest DOES NOT appear in the quest tracker. After receiving your class spell, head to Haven and talk to Researcher Karath Upon going through the dialogue you now have the ability to teleport around the map to the 4 totems and Haven by saying the number or haven next to a totem or to Researcher Karath This makes questing much easier especially if the first character it is done on is a Rogue.

Pet Quest (Quest giver-Lannal the Beast Tamer)

Note: Must have completed one of the WoS pets to do this quest. Every drop for this quest is pre-lootable.

• After getting the quest the first step has you turn in your WoS pet (so recommend farming all required items before getting the quest)
• The second step has you turning in 4 items to Lannal the Beast Tamer
  • Iron Clasp - Ground spawn in Slavedriver Menlo room (behind the wall in the back)
  • Very Long Whip - Slavedriver Menlo always drops one
    • Slavedriver Fight (Rooted, Harm Touches every 45s for 45% your hp)
      • 2 strats to this fight either kill the refugees as they agro buffing Slavedriver Menlo or tank through the adds/off-tank/CC them
        • If you choose to kill adds Menlo will get stronger and so will the Harm Touch by 5% for every add you kill
        • If you choose to not kill the adds, after the 10th refugee agros they will switch target and attack Menlo
          • This enrages Menlo and 25-30s later, if not dead, he will AoE Harm Touch for 50%-150% of your HP
  • Reinforced Chain Links - Random drop from a dragorn refugee
  • Feeble Bindings - merchant item in Hidden Forest (10k from Feeb the Animist)

• After that turn in, Lannal will give you a whip clicky which is not going to be used until you are ready to capture your pet. The next step has you capture a noc, ukun, or discordling which requires a noose.
  • Constructing the noose for the type of pet you want will require killing mobs of that type and looting the 8 body parts
  • The body parts are combined in a Zephyr Chamber which drops from Elemental Essence Zephyr.
    • To spawn the Elemental Essence Zephyr it requires a chain of kills of progressing difficulty along a path leading to the room the Elemental Essence Zephyr spawns in (After killing one of the Elemental Essences the next will spawn along the path)
    • This starts with Elemental Essence Breeze (see map), ph appears to be a murkglider that does not path.
    • The Essences will cast a g-flux so recommend killing everything around before engaging

• • • Combine the 8 body parts of the pet you want in the Zephyr Chamber to receive a Noc/Ukun/Discordling Noose which is used to capture one (5s cast time)
• With the captured Noc/Ukun/Discordling acquired, return to Lannal and hand it to him. He will then ask you to create a calming elixir that requires 5 drops from NC
  • 4 drops are combined in a Crystalised Flask
    • Crystalised Flask - drops from Murkglider School Leader (unsure how to spawn other than killing murkgliders)
    • Source of Terror - Bazu Terror (1hr respawn, 50% chance to be Bazu Terror or Discordling Animist, so might take a while)
    • Seed of Fertility - a fecund murkglider (named spawn have only seen in one spot, see map)
    • Essence of Aggression - an aggressive murkglider (named spawn have only seen in one spot, see map)
    • Blood of Insanity - Drarakon the Mad (named dragorn can spawn in multiple spots along the path to Tarlang, see map)

• • • Combine the Source of Terror, Seed of Fertility, Essence of Aggression, and Blood of Insanity in the Crystalised Flask to receive Elixir of Serenity.
• Hand the Elixir of Serenity and the items Lannal requests to him (forgot what other items he wants) and speak to Lannal again to learn the emotes required to capture your pet bazu.
• Go into the tunnels behind Lannal that are full of chained bazu and start killing one
  • KILL SLOWLY SO YOU DO NOT MISS EMOTES AND CLICKS
  • The first emote you are waiting for will tell you if you have the correct bazu
    • Noc - the bazu rears up and beats its chest, bearing its teeth
    • Ukun - the bazu crouches low as if preparing to leap to attack
    • Discordling - the bazu arches its back and buckles down defensively
  • If you have the correct bazu for your bait (they are always random) you are waiting for an emote about the bazu pulling at it’s chains.
    • When this emote happens, you have ~10sec to click the bait
    • Successfully using the bait will result in an emote saying that the bazu breaks its chains
  • The final emote you are waiting for is about the bazu being distracted by the bait, at which point click the Bazu leash and you should get an item on your cursor
    • If this fails wait on the cooldown and kill more chained bazu until successful

• Return to Lannal and turn in the captured bazu to receive your NC pet clicky buff
  • Noc flavored Bazu pet:
    • +10% chance to avoid melee, +58% chance to reflect spell, +20% chance to resist spell
  • Ukun flavored Bazu pet:
    • +10% chance to dual wield, +10% chance to double attack, +10% chance to perform an extra attack
  • Discordling flavored Bazu pet:
    • +10% chance to parry attack, +10% chance to dodge attack, +10% chance to dodge attack
