Core Competency

Core Competency is a group quest for level 60 in Zereth Mortis. It is step 4 of 9 in The Final Song storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zereth Mortis at 61.2, 37.7. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The poor thing.

The sacred should not be disturbed, but... will the elders judge us if we help it survive? This is preservation, not interference.

...I hope.

We can power it back up. Use this depleted core as a conduit. Perhaps the larger wild animates in the nearby sands have enough energy to charge it.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Junk's Not DeadZereth Mortis · Level 60

    This automa has been hiding here! I suspect it will not be receptive to our help. I am hesitant to suggest this, but if the servitor were to associate you with this facility, it might be more amenable. If you have the means, copy the glyphs inscribed on similar automa outside.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Revival of the FittestZereth Mortis · Level 60

    This core is brimming with energy! Use the charged core to revive the automa. Hopefully, it will no longer see us as a threat. Do be careful. The power of the First Ones is not meant for us to control.

The storyline at a glance

The Final Song has 9 steps, from Finding Tahli to Judgment Call.
