Steps

Head to Phantom Sea and approach Aliena Belzia in Ssraeshza Temple (Heroic) in the northern room before killing the named, or you will need to return. The quest updates when you get close to her.

Obtain:
- a highly explosive item that can be triggered from within a shield -- resonant umbrite from the last named in Stygian Threshold (Heroic). This is a chest drop and only 1 drops per chest. Only 1 mage can be updated per instance.
- a shield spell which can withstand an explosion -- a diacoustic aquatic shield spell scroll from Black Bolt in Maldura: Algorithm For Destruction (Heroic). This is a chest drop and only 1 drops per chest. Only 1 mage can be updated per instance.
- an item that can cause the fragile umbrite crystals to explode via multi-layered high frequency sound waves -- Go to Shimmering Citadel.

    The zone-in to Shimmering Citadel: Inside the Bottle/Tipple's Focus
    - You're looking for an ornate metal lamp, NOT the lamp that goes to Sabaron's Palace or the one that goes to Azhar's Penitence. Thus far, only 12 random spawn locations of the 15 possible are known. Once inside, An inaudible harp can be harvested at to update the quest.
    - Note: this may be bugged and take you to Tipple's Focus or 'A Djinn's Treasure Cache' when you click on it. This may be the case if you haven't completed the prerequisites for this quest, or be at level or chrono to level 50. Complete HQ and ToV quest first to avoid this. Note Update: Remember you should now be able to update this step in Tipple's Focus as of 10/23/2018 -- Please correct this entry if it was a fluke -- check last entry in requirements above.

- Place the scale in the anchor at , then click the anchor to spawn Lady Karkona.

  2. Zone in to Lair of the Haunts by clicking on the Moveable Stone Wall at
  3. Kill Tombwatch L'Drykk (105^^^, may need a group, same difficulty as the Scrollkeeper) at the bottom of Lair of the Haunts. All the quest mobs are invisible to group members, forcing the mage to pull them. Once they are in combat, everyone can see the mobs.
  4. Harvest the Dragon Blood Shard on top of the chest at
    
    The Dragon Blood Shard
- Gather arcane object of draconic breath.
  - Harvest Urn of Dragon Breath in the Lost City of Torsis: Reaver's Remnants (Solo) (or Heroic) in the hidden room at . Just walk through the wall to the left of where the named stood.

- Gather arcane object of draconic destruction.
  - Harvest the Wand of the Wurmslayer in the Crypt of Dalnir: Baron's Workshop (Heroic) in the sarcophagus with the mirror .
