I'd suggest getting as many people as possible to do it, use general chat to call for help from the whole zone if you can. 5 was not enough people to do this (though we weren't all partied). I'd imagine the longer you fight, the more checkpoints you reach and different things happen (like more vendors with rare stuff or something). They are similar to the other potions you can buy with shards, they only work in blade's edge and Gruul's Lair.Īfter that drink NPC came, the waves of monsters became entirely elites and we were overrun (there were 5 of us fighting aside from the NPCs).

The NPC sells 4 different buff potions for 10 apexis shards each, (don't recall all of them, things like +20 crit rating for 2 hours persists through death). You fight them off as long as you can, at 'checkpoints', the main researchers sends off a flare that calls an NPC. What happens it that waves of monsters start attacking the crystalforge area that the riders landed at. There is no quest to accept for this as far as I can tell (though I'm only friendly with the Skyguard). So if you aren't present when they take off, you can just meet them there. When the timer is up, a squad of riders will head out to Bash'ir Landing, they stop at the Bash'ir Crystalforge (the same place you trade in shards for the magic buff potions). Comment by 34034Talk to the guy by the landing pad near where you get this quest, he will tell you how long until the next assault.
