Quest Log

Enhancing the Hold

Enhancing the Hold is a quest for level 60. It is step 20 of 33 in the Among the Kyrian storyline. It rewards 4 reward items, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

As thanks for your efforts in recovering the anima and souls we now have available, you may decide which of Elysian Hold's features we upgrade first.

Once active, it shall expand our capabilities to help not only Bastion, but all the Shadowlands.

Do not worry--as you continue to recover anima and willing souls we will activate them all in time. For now, a single upgrade must suffice.

This quest seems to be a dead end so far after switching to Kyrian. Luckily I kept plenty of anima tokens in my bag, but I can't do the upgrade without a Lost Soul, and I can't get a Lost Soul without the weekly quest to retrieve them, which the Kyrian are currently not offering. I guess I'll see what happens Tuesday and remain soulbind-less in the meantime.

I thought 9.1.5 was supposed to bring penalty-free covenant switching.

There is a good chance that, when you first get this quest, you wont have enough Reservoir Mana for most of your options. Click through the different circles to see which ones are available to you. There is one that only costs 500 Reservoir Mana, and it'll have a green arrow on it. Select that one, then click Activate.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • It's All Coming TogetherLevel 60

    Our brothers and sisters are spread thin fighting the Forsworn, maintaining order among aspirants waiting to ascend, and countless other duties. The willing souls you recovered from the Maw will be a great boon to our capabilities in these dire times.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dangerous to Go AloneLevel 60

    There is one last thing you must do before we can act to clean up Denathrius's chaos. You must have a soulbind. All kyrian undergo this sacred ritual--albeit typically many aeons before they stand before the Archon herself. Soulguide Daelia will guide you in this process.
