I guess I'm the only person who's had trouble finding it, lol, but when I reached Stage 3 ("Go to the center of the Altar of End Times"), I went to the center of the blue circle on my minimap and spent several minutes trying to find whatever I was supposed to find.

It's actually a large, dark-green circle on the ground at 27,50. Meryl is there, so "/target mer" if you're still having trouble.

If you are doing this at current max level (120), do not go in guns blazing and kill the boss. If you do, you may not be able to loot Ebonchill. Instead you need to engage the boss (maybe smack around a little bit) and wait until he throws Ebonchill down before killing off.

Description

And with that, we have what we need to recreate the ritual... however flawed it may be. It must be conducted somewhere highly visible so that word reaches our target swiftly. I've heard reports that the Legion is heavily invested in the Faronaar region of Azsuna. An excellent place to begin a ritual they won't want us to complete. The chances of us dying horribly are exceptionally high.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Daio the DecrepitLevel 10-45

    That text lists someone named Daio as being instrumental to the demonic ritual. They can't possibly mean Daio the Decrepit! I never knew he was Kirin Tor. I only know him as an elderly warlock who trains young recruits in the infernal arts. This would certainly explain his change of occupation.

The storyline at a glance

Ebonchill has 5 steps, from Finding Ebonchill to The Mage Hunter.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Hall of the Guardian (5).
