Notes

Above: the incense for the quest is located on a table not far from the portal you entered through (-523.83, 9.53, -122.64).

IF you have just zoned in from Thalumbra, the Ever Deep, take the 1st door on the Left for Portal to 2nd floor where quest begins. (you may need to redo "The Final Blow" step 16).

It is a good idea to repair your gear before you enter this instance, because you may die repeatedly.
Due to innate mount speed being disabled, bring movement speed increase buff/item with you (e.g. Earring of the Solstice, Totem of the Sabertooth or Pendant of the Interim.). Because the timer starts counting down when you pass the guards and are running to the crafting statue. Thus the longer runs give you less time to craft.
In addition, bring items to make your crafting more successful, especially Potions of Crafting Progress (99 DBC in Marketplace) or Innovation.

Caveats to note:

• You can only get the Potion of Crafting Progress from the EQ2 Marketplace.
• The Potion of Innovation is an occasional reward from Tradeskill Apprentice quests such as A Sturdy Redwood Mallet.

This takes place in the same Antechamber you are in when you receive the quest. (NOTE: if you ported out and are coming back in, go to the repaired portals at ( 49, 1, 11 ) to port back to the Queen.)

Take incense from one of the tables ( -423, 10, -129 ) Copy/waypoint -422.64, 9.53, -129.48 or ( -524, 10, -123 ) Copy/waypoint -523.83, 9.53, -122.64 near the entrance, it's the fuel for the crafts.

• You will repeat this sequence four times, one for each empowerment. You get one minute for EACH relic to be empowered, not the whole quest! Don't panic!
• If you do not do the quest in the exact order in the steps listed below, the guards will also kill you.

• Once you go near the guards they will become un-aggro, and a 1 minute timer starts. In that 1 minute you need to:
  1. Reach the relic ("statue") at the end of each room, which is a crafting "table".
  2. Craft the relic without failing ANY counter during the craft - a failure will kill you.
     • There are 2 ways to start the craft:
       1. click on the crafting table and only the recipe you need to craft will appear as you click the crafting table. may takes a sec or two for the game to filter the recipes
       2. before you run into a room, open your Recipe book and search for the item you need to craft, run up to the crafting table and just start to craft.
     • It can be very hard to finish some of these in the allotted time. It is strongly suggested that you: bring along Potions of Progress or Innovation to make the process faster, or you may want to equip all your tradeskill items.
     • Sometimes when you failed to craft in time and you don't move from the crafting spot right up against the statue, the mobs become aggro but don't attack. You might be able to try again, right away.
     • If you run out, and the crafting table won't show the recipe again, go back and get another one in the other room.
  3. Run out again even though the timer for that area has stopped.
• After you finish this subquest use the Twark Transport Totem and finish The Final Blow with Brytthel to complete the "tradskill Epic 2.0" series
