To get over this quest faster, and after flying unlocked, get out of the cave, mount up, fly over each spot, talk to pocopoc without touching the ground (you'll only agro the first pack of mobs, as they're flyers, but just ignore them, and move onto the next ones).

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Music of the SpheresZereth Mortis · Level 60

    It started gradually, the energy emanating from the oracle in increasing amounts, until the grand design you see before you took shape. The terrible clamor ringing in our ears began shortly afterward. My attempts to approach the fractals have been... unsuccessful.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Borrowed PowerZereth Mortis · Level 60

    The land provides. The land thirsts. Invaders devour what we require. Reclaim what has been consumed. Absorb what remains abundant. Wings need wind to fly. We need power to ascend.

The storyline at a glance

A Means to an End has 11 steps, from Something Wonderful to Arbiter in the Making.
