Walkthrough

Crystal shards can be thrown to friendly Zephyrites, towards the goal basket, or be dropped off directly at the basket. Inquest will spawn periodically near the Abandoned Mine gate, guarded by a squad of Inquest, but only Inquest Technicians attempt to pick up the crystal shards. If enough players are present, it can be helpful to have several stand near the mouth of the cave to attack and immobilize Inquest leaving the spawn area while a few others remain behind to gather up crystals. If a Technician is successful in grabbing a crystal shard it will chime about it, allowing players to react accordingly, and any form of crowd control will force Inquest to drop their crystal shard. Keep a lookout for Inquest Assassins who will fire projectiles that blind the player and force the crystal shard to drop. The event will complete if the Zephyrites collect 20 Crystal Shards or fail if the Inquest collect 20 shards first.
