Skylance tasks

Task NPC: Spirit of Ao the Fourth Born
Location: Arcstone, near the portal entrance to Relic zone
Keyword: group

Note: Have the taskleader do the looting and hailing for the related tasks.  Avoids issues.

Inside Skylance instance, near ZI, there's a NPC which you can talk to and he'll direct you with his drake which portal to enter.

The Library

Objective: Obtain a book (Codex)

Simple task.  Once you're inside the Library area, kill the pathing kos mobs.

Taskleader drop down into the middle area (indifferent mobs down there), and talk to the sympathetic student for task update.

Now you need to retrieve the two codex halves.   This is done by killing Assistant Gareth and Venorin located on the platforms above.  Make sure the same person loots both halves.

Go to the remaining platform, and turn in the halves to The Head Librarian.  He'll give you the Codex in return.  Hand in the Codex to Spirit of Ao the Fourth Born (mission giver, in Arcstone), to complete the mission.

The Oubliette

Objective: Recover the Egg of Tallongast

Another easy task.  Back to Skylance instance.

In the Oubliette area, there are three little areas, each contains a cluster of eggs.  Simply kill the eggs, it'll spawn a mob.  Repeat this over and over until you get the task updating saying you found the egg.

Taskleader, head back and hail the Spirit of Ao The Forth Born, to complete the mission.

The Laboratory

Objective: hatch the egg.

This is an emote style mission.  But it's very easy to do, with the correct emotes to actions information.

In the Laboratory area, stay on the table, so you don't agro the three mobs pathing around the upper area.

You must respond correctly to 8 emotes, by clicking the corresponding equipment located around the upper area of the room.  This should be done really by one person (preferrably an FD class, so they can avoid the pathers).

For every correct click, a mob spawns (just have the group in middle kill them if they agro).

Failure to match the emote correctly, results in a zombie add to spawn and resets your emote progress back to zero.

Once all 8 emotes are done, the egg in the middle will hatch the named: Tallongast the Discarded.  Kill him to complete the mission.

Below is the emotes to match with the correct objects/panels.  Using cardinals, four directions, each area has two clickable objects or panels.  The ones closest to the middle are referenced below as "close", and the other as "far".  Key words from the emotes are used, for quick reference.

NECROTIC - North far

TRANS-INJECTOR - North close

FROM THE ETHER - East far

GOO - East close

DISPENSER - South far

HYPER MANIPULATOR - South close

DISTILL - West far

GAZE-O-RAMA - West close

Clicker Note:  If you click too fast, you'll get a message indicating the equipement is not ready or some such.  Just wait a few seconds and try again.

Chime Note: Once the mission is complete, you'll receieve your tarnished chime on hand or inventory.  If you didn't receive it, and have the prior two missions complete, go talk to the mission giver and he'll give you a new tarnished chime.

North Ro tasks

Task NPC: Tak`Valnakor
Location: North Ro

The Root of Ro - Key to the Past

Crawl up killing as you go and have the taskleader collect the tablets.  You'll easily get 4 tablets as you progress to the top.  The last one is on the named.  Once you have all 5, return to Tak'Valnakor to complete the task.
