Highly recommend you take the reward that lets you socket an upgrade, especially if you already have a higher item level piece of gear. The other options will be better when you have more research and find them at a higher level, while the socketed one will remain useful (for different circumstances) at lower item levels. All three versions only provide their special bonus in outdoor shadowlands content (no raids, dungeons, instanced PVP, or legacy/future content).

To obtain a power for your socketed item you require [order-advancement=1988] from the Aealic (second) tree of your Cypher research, then activate the consoles in the three hubs of Zereth Mortis that dispense enhancements. Only the white-named powers can be socketed. Once you are no longer using your reward for combat purposes, I would recommend socketing it with [item=189724] and equipping it before turning in quests and looting treasures that provide large amounts of gold.

Available Powers:


Ordinary Stat Boosts:
[item=189731] Increase <Primary Stat> by 5%.
[item=189732] Increase Stamina by 10%.
[item=189730] Increase Critical Strike chance by 5%.
[item=189722] Increase Haste by 5%.
[item=189726] Increase Mastery by 5%.
[item=189725] Increase Versatility by 5%.
[item=189734] Increase critical damage and healing by 20%.
[item=189728] Increase Avoidance by 10%.
[item=189729] Increase Leech by 5%.

Non-standard combat effects:
[item=189560] 10% chance to deflect enemy Physical attacks.
[item=189723] 10% chance to absorb enemy Spell damage.
[item=189764] 5% chance to reflect incoming damage back to the attacker.
[item=189761] Inflict 6% max health damage to up to 5 enemies within 40 yards every 5 sec. Elite enemies suffer 2% max health damage.
[item=189727] Restores 1% of max health to raid or party members within 30 yards every 1 sec.
[item=189763] Your abilities have a 10% chance to incur no cooldown.
[item=189760] Protects the bearer from stun, root, and snare effects from enemy creatures. This effect can only occur once every 30 sec.
[item=189762] This effect will absorb a lethal attack, recovering 25% of your maximum health instead. This effect can only occur once every 10 min.

Utility:
[item=189735] Increase Speed by 10% and Mounted Speed by 20%.
[item=189733] Your equipment suffers no durability loss.
[item=189724] Increase gold from looting by 2% and completing quests by 10%.

Target big enemies (elites) only. They are on the sides, not in the pool in middle. The little mobs don't count almost at all to the progress bar.

Try to gather more elites and use abilities one by one. Completed 60% with one big pack.

If you see a cypher equipment with a socket, GET IT.

One of the best outdoor and group spheroids to socket into these is the [item=189727]/[item=189742] spheres. The buff becomes 'permanent' (while on the gear and you wear them), and, if for example you use it on the world boss (you'll almost definitely be in a group to kill it), watch the healing top all heals in the group (even if in a DPS role), and maintain most people alive thru the damage.

If only more people used these... (there's another that increases damage by +20% I heard, but never found it, yet, as I've only sought out this one).

Description

Those guardian automa will shoot down anything that attempts to reach the Creation Catalyst. May I suggest fighting fire with fire? Or rather, fighting the creations of the First Ones with the creation energy of the First Ones? I have had little time to adequately test my theory, but this potion should provide the boost you need to destroy them... ideally without dying from exposure to the creation energy in the process.

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.

  • Herbal RemediesZereth Mortis · Level 60

    Using the roots you collected, I have crafted a concoction that, in theory, will cause the plants to revert to their natural state. Hurl vials of this remedy at the lashers of the Catalyst Gardens. If it works, wonderful! If not, you will need to deal with them more directly, by killing them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Key CraftingZereth Mortis · Level 60

    With those agitated automa quelled, there is but one task ahead. We shall ferry you and your Enlightened companion up to the Creation Catalyst. The rest is up to you.
