A little tip that can make this quest really fast todo is to ride out the bubble and then reide along it to the cord given above there is road and no mobs, then you can ride ind to the bubble again right where the target is that way it takes maybe 1 or 2 min todo the quest :)

Description

If Mehrdad's results are correct -- and I have no reason to believe they're faulty -- then the rest of the domes could be in trouble. I do think Mehrdad has failed to identify the underlying cause of the failures. From time to time, creatures damage the generators, but never this severely. To be on the safe side, I'd like for you to run a set of diagnostics at the Stormspire's main dome generator, located in Eco-Dome Sutheron at the very eastern edge of the dome.

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.

  • To the StormspireNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Master Engineer Ghabar will want to know about the results of the diagnostics. If anything, they caution us to keep a close eye on the workings of our dome generators. As the fields become more and more unstable, their effects will become harder to control.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Testing the PrototypeNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    I've been working on a portable generator repair kit for use in some of the harsher climates that the Consortium operates in. Granted, it wasn't designed for Netherstorm, but we shouldn't have any problems with it.
