StorylineThe Light Mother, step 6 of 13
Rewards5g 5s 50c, 6,150 XP

Description

We're going to need a bigger gun if we hope to free Xe'ra. One of the other bunkers crashed closer to the Xenedar. If Baraat was on it, he will have already begun surveying the area. Perhaps he's found the main cannon of the ship. If you head over that way, make sure he hasn't died, will you?

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.

  • Fire At WillKrokuun · Level 45

    Look out there, the wings of the bats fill the sky. We must offer what ranged support we can, but our hands are full here. It looks like the Legion has not yet destroyed all of the artillery batteries. If you can get to one, you should be able to show those flying fiends the Light.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Bringing the Big GunsKrokuun · Level 45

    Light's Judgment has a security feature to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. We can trigger its recall mechanism, which will teleport it back to a vessel. With the Xenedar out of commission, the gun should recall to your ship instead. You can make good use of its firepower.

The storyline at a glance

The Light Mother has 13 steps, from Gathering Light to An Offering of Light.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Krokuun (10), The Vindicaar (3).
