(Optional) Enough gathering skill to harvest tier 8 roots/bushes: Minimum 340 gathering skill without the use of skill-increasing equipment. This requirement can be avoided by buying the required items.
Ability to get through the green gate (a Bathezid gate crystal or can be bypassed with the Sokokar post), blue gate (a Nak'azar gate crystal), and red gate (a Caroeth gate crystal) inside Chardok, either by having them yourself or someone in or outside the group opening the gates.

Collect 10 pieces of smoldering material. These also can now be bought or harvested and come from any T8 node.
NOTE: You can save a lot of money on these steps by buying ONE mantrap root or smoldering material, putting it on your broker, and taking it back out until you have all of the updates.(for bronze/silver player on the EQX server, you can just put them in to your guild storage box and remove them to get the update, as well.)
