Extremely anticlimactic if you ask me.

The cutscene at the end is epic!

But the quest itself? Takes like 5 minutes to do. The projectile is awkward -- its animation feels/looks like it would pierce and be wide (for clearing out the skies especially), but it "explodes" on impact and has a very little radius.

Takes like 5+ circles usually, especially if you're competing with someone else, which is very annoying.

The mobs themselves aren't dense enough and so you rarely get more than 2-3 per shot.

Aiming the projectile itself is annoying. You don't have 360-spherical vision. You don't even have close to that. You have to aim in what feels like a 30-degree cone in front of the bird, and the bird, half of the time, is looking off into the sky where there are nothing but 2-3 crap flying mobs that are spaced out just enough that you have absolutely no hope of hitting more than 1-2 per shot. Half of the time, your shots just go between them.

I've done this zone three times now between my characters. It might honestly be my favorite zone in the entire game -- but this last quest is something I've begun dreading.

Description

The ravenspeaker acolytes have been equipped with Apexis interfaces, they just need to get close enough. Come, let us take to the skies and secure the Terrace of Dawn. When all is aligned, we shall turn the false suns against one another and the spires shall burn like torches! I look forward to penning your actions into history.

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.

  • The High RavenspeakerSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Yes, I knew you were worthy! The Writ of Faith says that great doubt will come in time of crisis but one must put their trust in the Raven Mother and all will be as it should! Come, come, we must go to the High Ravenspeaker!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On Ebon WingsSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Now we bring our fight to the Adherents. Raastok is certain his new invention will give us control of the Apexis weapons, but we must get close - very close. Ka'alu and her ravens will fly us to the Windswept Terrace. We shall gain a foothold there before pressing on to the Terrace of Dawn.
