Defeat the Inquest to prevent them from capturing the Ley-Energy Coalescence is a level 17, 22, or 24 event that occurs on the hill southeast of Lost Child's Sorrow Waypoint, the hill east of Snowdrift Haven Waypoint, or on the hill north of Skradden Waypoint.

This event spawns 15 minutes after the previous occurrence after the relevant NPCs are escorted to its location. The consortium and Durmand Priory research teams will randomly choose from any of the possible locations, causing either two events against the inquest or a larger event with a three-way battle. The NPCs leading each party are determined and do not need player assistance, but will take a safe route with fewer hostile enemies which may increase the length of the escort phase. The random inquest enemies and coalescence scale depending on the number of players.

The Consortium (Manager Shana) escort event starts south of Lornar's Gate at the map portal, while the Priory (Magister Fiona) escort event starts inside the tower courtyard at Scholar's Cleft waypoint. A member of each party, Consortium Representative Bjorni and Priory Explorer Teela, will remain at the camps to guide players towards the location their leader chose to investigate.

Objectives[edit]

  • Inquest Morale
  • Event bar.jpg Event swords (tango icon).png
  • Coalescence Proximity to Inquest Collector
  • Event bar empty2.jpg
  • Coalescence dissipates in x/7:00

The tethered coalescence will drop raw Ley Energy bundles during the event which enemy Inquest, Consortium and/or Priory NPCs, and players may carry back to the Ley Capacitors to pull the coalescence closer to their camp. If the Inquest manage to capture the coalescence the event will fail, but if the Priory or Consortium pull it, the event will continue until the Inquest morale bar is emptied. Once the morale bar reaches ~50% the Inquest waves come with a higher number of mobs and super-fast golems for running Ley Energy. One strategy is to turn in enough Ley Energy to pull the coalescence close to the Priory and/or Consortium camp and then abandon collection in order to quickly defeat the Inquest.

Event success requires only that Inquest morale is zero, not any Ley Energy collected. Note: The second event bar is informational, letting players know how close Ley Energy is to the Inquest Ley Capacitor and thus how quickly the golems may pull the tethered coalescence to their camp.
