Unstable Ripplegates

Enter an unstable ripplegate to reach the Stone Rotunda where the Arbiter Ceryaen and the Merelew factions reside.

These ripplegates occur when walking around, and you see the following message: With a gurgle, a pool of water quickly bubbles up from the ground and lifts into the air. It begins to spiral, like a whirlpool turned on its side, forming an unstable ripplegate.

Unstable ripplegates will vanish after a set amount of time. When you exit the Stone Rotunda, you will return to the room where you entered the unstable ripplegate.

The Stone Rotunda

[Stone Rotunda, Gathering Hall]
The circular room is massive and contains several tiered balconies reaching towards the dome overhead. Here, on the ground level, the space is open with only a rectangular stone table at its heart -- a centerpiece viewable from the countless elevated seats in the galleries above. Numerous tanks containing bioluminescent fish, corals and other sea-life line the walls, providing ample illumination for the chamber.
You also see a turbulent ripplegate, Arbiter Ceryaen, Form Shaper Vestaet, Transmuter Zaenen, Preserver of Balance Kixfa, Opportunity Broker Petret and Aluna's Protector Iaxet. Obvious exits: east.


[Stone Rotunda, Alcove]
Set in a back corner of the chamber, the alcove contains a solid ripplegate that gleams with the light from the tanks set along the walls. The water spirals in an endless loop with the force of a waterfall. The mist surrounding the portal conceals whatever lies beyond it.
You also see a substantial watery ripplegate.
Obvious exits: west.


The substantial watery ripplegate leads to a number of distinct areas in the Tidal Flats, where you can complete your tasks. Please note that some of these spaces are underwater so you may want to use Air Bubble. You can purchase a 5-use simple lemicule wand that gives 10 minutes of Air Bubble per use in Fang Cove's Ocan's Bait and Tackle for 2,164 Dokoras.

Tasks

Arbiter Ceryaen can randomly assign you the following tasks. Declining a task results in a ten minute penalty until you can ask for another one.


General Kill Task

Arbiter Ceryaen gazes at one of the nearby watery portals. "The seas are in turmoil. Whether caused by or merely responding to the presence of the landwalkers' giant spider remains, beasts of the depths are rising. They have been twisted and corrupted, some of them reanimated from their death, including fallen Merelew."

Ceryaen shudders then adds, "We ask that you seek out these beasts and slay them, that Andreshlew and the life around our home may return to some semblence of norma

Walkthrough

Kill the number of mobs past the substantial watery ripplegate that you're instructed to kill.


Champion Kill Task

Ceryaen taps her trident on the floor in a TAP, TAP TAP, repeating pattern as she speaks, "Among all Elanthian life, whether on land or beneath the waves, great champions of exceptional wit, skill, talent or ability exist. The corrupted and risen foes that harass our domain as well as yours are no exception."

With an echoing rattle, Ceryaen raps her trident on the floor one last time. She says, "For the good of us all, I ask that you seek out such a champion and assist in slaying it."

Ceryaen asks, "This is the task set before you. Will you accept?"

Walkthrough

Enter the substantial watery ripplegate and kill mobs until the champion mob appears (then kill that!).


Clean Debris Task

Ceryaen sweeps her trident out perpendicular to her body and slowly rotates through a full circle, pointing with its golden tips to the areas surrounding you. At last, she says, "Our home is marred with giant pieces of metal, both the island and the surrounding waters. The plants of the deep grow swiftly, winding in, over and through these pieces, concealing them but allowing their corruption to continue spreading. The giant clams and other creatures ingest these fragments."

With a grunt of disgust, she says, "We ask that you join us in searching out these hidden sources."

Mission

The Merelew island of Andreshlew has risen from the depths, but all is not well! Corrupted remnants of the massive arachnid have washed ashore and caused great disturbances for the Merelew people as well as the flora and fauna of the deep seas. Factions of the Merelew are vying for your support and help in cleaning Andreshlew.

Pieces of metal, semi-organic tomiek chitin, and other debris are littering Andreshlew and the seas. Ceryaen has asked that you do whatever it takes to find and remove X bits of this litter. Thus far, you have tended to Y.

Walkthrough

Enter the substantial watery ripplegate and STUDY objects that spawn in the area to learn which verb will clean the objects. Cleaning some objects will require a held weapon.

Recover Debris Task

Arbiter Ceryaen says, "I have a simple request, should you be willing to assist us. I ask only that you venture through one of the nearby portals and seek out more of corrupted items."

Walkthrough

Enter the substantial watery ripplegate and SEARCH rooms to find debris.

Reward

After completing some tasks, ASK Ceryaen about ecosphere. You will only be given one: do not lose it. The standing that you earn for completing tasks can then be dedicated to a specific Merelew faction.
