Key Quests

Once you have used a key, it is added to your key chain (server side). You can then put it in the bank or destroy it. (I don't trust Sony enough to destroy the keys that are really hard to get.) Type /keys to see which keys are currently on your key chain.

Aerin'Dar's Lair
Must Complete one PoJ trial.
Plane of Valor

  • Sergeant Johson Popoah (In tents near zone-in) - Hail him twice. He'll say something like "Leave before there is bloodshed."
  • Paralin Notion (In tents near zone-in) - Hail and say, "I am brave.", "I will help your company.", "What squad?", "What about that razorfiend?", "I will provide you with assistance.", "What trials?", "What things?"
  • Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln (In bridge house on far side near wastes.) - Do not hail him or anyone else between Notion and here. Just go straight to him and say "I am here to aid the cause.", "What is Aerin'Dar?"
  • Paralin Notion - Hail and say, "How shall I prove myself?"
  • Collect hearts of a razorfiend, a crystalline spider & a planarian larvae, then turn them in to Paralin.
  • Master Sergeant Aaramis Daryln - Hail and say "What glass lair?", "What about Aerin'Dar?", "What company?", "What mission?"
  • Captain Ryglot Cupperhide - Hail and say "Why are you busy?", "I will help.", "What mission?", "What war?"
  • Kill Luminii Crawler and loot A Piece of the Crystalline Globe (A Crytalline Orb).
  • Kill Gamite Frogs near bridge house and loot A Piece of the Crystalline Globe (A Cyrstalline Staff).
  • Kill Undead Vassals and loot A Piece of the Crystalline Globe (A Crystalline Gem).
  • Go back to Captain Ryglot and turn in the globe, staff and shard to receive A Crystalline Globe, the key to Aerin'Dar's lair.

    The quest is buggy, so be sure to follow the text exactly, including punctuation. If the npc's aren't responding with the proper text, try zoning out and back in. Don't turn anything in until they say the right things. It's better if you gather all 6 pieces first, then run through the quest. Some sites suggest turning in 4 junk items to clear the npc before turning in the actual quest items, but I'm not sure that will work.

    Once you kill Aerin'Dar, you can no longer complete this quest.

    The person with this key can open the lair door for the entire raid.

    Bastion of Thunder
    Must complete one PoJ Trial & must do this to progress to the elemental planes.
    Plane of Storms

  • Kill any named giants in the zone and loot 2 Esoteric Medallions, they must be from two different areas (ocean, desert or forest). Put them in the bag and combine.
  • Give bag to Askr and he gives you a Talisman of Thunderous Foyer.
  • Invis up and enter BoT from PoS. In the center area with Tempest Toads & the tornado, click on the small shrine in the middle. The key will be added to your keyring. You will gain an AA point and get stats added to your Intricate Wooden Figurine along with the flag to enter BoT.
