information
This page contains information relevant to the group task Become the
Vessel, and all related sub-tasks.
skins
- overview
The group task Become the Vessel has two prerequisite solo tasks:
Saga Skins and Preparing Your New Skins. The solo tasks result in
Enraged Flesh armor pieces, which are used in the group task.
However, only ONE person in the group task needs to have the these
armor pieces to successfully complete the task.
From a raid progression standpoint, the purpose of completing the group task, is to obtain the flag for Razorthorn. This flag is required for completion of the Divine Fetters of Ro. Be aware, the flag is not required to zone into a Razorthorn instance. Therefore, you can still attend a Sullon Zek raid (which is inside RZ) without having completed the group task.
From a non-raid standpoint, a side bonus to completing the Saga
skins solo
task is you will receive a spell/disc which is specifc to your
class. Although there are other solo tasks which result in
the same spell/disc, they are not relevant to this writeup.
Task:
saga skins
This is the first skins task. It starts automatically, upon
looting any of the nine different skins that it requires. Each
skin drops from a different mob type. The mobs can be found in
various PoR zones:
The Devastation
Sverag, Stronghold of Rage
Razorthorn, Tower of Sullon Zek (instance)
Below is a list of all the skins, related mob types and translations
received on hand-in of each skin.

Skin Collection:
Simply collect the nine skins listed above by killing the related mobs for the drops.
Skin Hand-ins:
Once you have th nine skins collected. Each is handed in to the Grand Librarian Maelin, located at the top floor of the library in PoK. Maelin will give you each skin back and the corresponding translation pages listed above.
Note: Don't destroy these skins, they are needed later!
Combines & Hand-ins:
The next stage in the task asks you to create a two books of lore
using a book
binding and all nine pages. The result of the combines are: Saga Skin
Translations - vol. 1 and Saga Skin
Translations - vol. 2. Hand both these books in to Maelin in
PoK to complete the task. Maelin will automatically assign you
the next task (Preparing Your New Skins).
Reference note: A book binding is a container,
that
can be vendor purchased from various NPCs all over.
Below is a list of zones and related vendors. Clicking the
list, then a zone will reveal the vendor information.
Task:
preparing your new skins
This is the second skins task. It's assigned automatically, upon completion of the previous task (Saga Skins). This is another collection task, but also involves handing in certain skins (which you kept!) from the previous Saga Skins task.
The items you collect in this task can all be found in the same zones as the skins. Unlike the skins however, they are not mob specifc, which means any mob can drop them.
The task is fairly straight forward. Once you have the items,
hand them in to Maelin. For each skin hand in that Maelin
requests, he will give you an Enraged Flesh piece of armor in
return. Keep this armor! As it's used in the group task:
Become the Vessel.
Note: Once you
complete this task, the next group task is automatically
assigned. No worries, if you're not in a group or you drop this
group task, you can request it again by simply talking to Maelin and
using the keywords: Become the Vessel.
group
Task: become the vessel
This is the final task, which flags an entire group once completed. As mentioned earlier, only one person in the group task needs to have the armor pieces to successfully request/complete this task.
Initial
Sit Stage:
This task involves equiping the armor from the previous task, and
sitting at a specific location in Sverag, the Stronghold of Rage
zone. The person sitting wearing the armor will get emoted, and
after approximately 5 minutes, the task will update. Any
interruption, mob agro, standing up, will cause a reset, and you'll
have to sit again and start the timer over.
The general area to sit is at loc: +80, +5. Below is a section
of the zone to give you an idea where the location is.
Kill
Stage:
Simply kill 60 mobs. Any mobs in the zone work, including
named.
Final
Sit Stage:
Once the kill session is complete, the task updates the person sits
near the RZ instance door with the armor on and waits for the rage to
overcome them again. The person is judged (emoted) and the task
updates again.
Using the above section diagram, sit up near the entrance to RZ.
Hand-ins:
Take the armor back to Maelin in PoK to complete the task.
You will receive an Enraged Flesh Charm, which is the key to Razorthorn, Tower of Sullon Zek.
