S-A-B-O-T-A-G-E

S-A-B-O-T-A-G-E is a quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 99 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 56.8, 38.7. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

We must destroy the machinery that is making these nexus-stalker aberrations possible. To strike at their proto-accelerator would be futile as it is an ethereal creation. We must instead destroy the manaforge energy tube that they are using as a conduit.

I have all that I need to create a device to overload the conduit save for one item. I need a wrapping from an archon or overlord that might be transforming soon in order to calibrate the device.

Where to go

    They're using relays to transfer information around the staging grounds. There is only one way for you to see these relays and extract the information they hold. Unfortunately, doing so may cause you irreparable brain damage.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Delivering the MessageNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    I'm sending one of my demolitionists out to place the disruption device. Just make sure no harm comes to him as he's placing the disruptor. Keep him protected! He will not fight back if enemies attack him, as he is only a holographic image, but the image can be destroyed!
