Briefing

Holt Zephyrcroft refuses to learn your name until you have endured the echo chamber resonance rupture and returned with an accurate count.

Steps

Endure the echo chamber resonance rupture on ring one, then deliver an accurate acoustic crystal count to Holt Zephyrcroft. Acousticscale and Echostalker roam that dangerous ground, and an Acoustic Crystal Flush can triple the yield.

Reward

  • Acoustic Draught x2
  • 500 XP
  • 50 Gold
  • 200 Cogmist Engineers rep

Dialogue

  • The acoustic crystal count came back light again, which means someone is skimming.
  • You made it past the resonance pool, which is a good start for a newcomer.
  • Acousticscale and Echostalker roam ring one, and an Acoustic Crystal Flush can triple the yield. Deliver an accurate count rather than a story; I keep the tally at the Great Ravine.
  • Mind the echo chamber resonance rupture once you are out past the line.
  • Keep your mouth shut and your feet quick, and you might last the season.
