A chronological field guide across the moon of Luclin - from The Duality's chamber to the Vault in the Wound.
SoloLevel 110–120Starts: The Duality, Sundered Frontier13 quests
Before You Begin
You arrive grounded on a low-gravity moon - getting around is the first thing to learn.
Be at least level 110 Adventurer. The first quest is your access to Luclin; it requires the prelude Light Amongst Shadows: Spires of Mythic Passage, and access is also granted during the tradeskill quest Piercing the Darkness: Chasing Moonbeams.
No flying yet. "Due to the need to acclimate to the changed gravity," flight is impossible until you finish either the signature or the tradeskill line - completing this chain (quest 13) is what grants overland flight.
Travel by tamed Shik'nar drones in The Blinding: Grieg's Spire591, 429, -582 (to Recuso Tor), Recuso Tor-584, 34, 358 (to Grieg's Spire or Seru's Ascent) and Seru's Ascent568, 49, 589 (to Recuso Tor).
Free gear: Tishan's Lockbox in The Blinding 616, 428, -627 - gives white/orange adorns plus blue/cyan for primary, secondary & ranged. The drop gear mostly has white/red adorn slots, so the white adorns are the long-term keepers.
Known bug: the first jump to Luclin sometimes completes the quest but crashes / logs you out - if so, fully close and restart the client, then continue.
Milestone: finishing through quest 7 (Burn the Midnight Oil) reveals the Akheva Runes collection and the Fleshless Tongue language path you'll want for the next expansion.
Free every spirit first. In both the Nexus and Wayward Manor instances, talk to all the frightened spirits before you kill the final named - Fire Monger Baltar can only be damaged while you are in spirit form.
