Plane of Innovation

Overview

The Plane of Innovation consists of two main regions, a large looped path to the north and the factory to the south. The northern loops contains the zones only rares (spawning from roamers so difficult to 'camp'). The factory area is behind a locked door. To get the key you must defeat Xanamech, but as long as someone opens the door anybody can run in.

Events

Xanamech Nezmirthafen
  • Size: Unlimited, 3+ groups suggested
  • Respawn: Unknown
To trigger this event you will need to collect three items from trash mobs throughout the zone: Bundle of Super Conductive Wires, Copper Node, and Intact Power Cell. Once you have all three find your way to Nitram Anizok in the northwest. Hail him, follow the dialog (keyword: collecting materials), and hand over the items. Nitram will then start to walk towards the clockwork dragon in the northeastern corner of the zone. You will need to clear the path and keep him safe during the journey, if you need time you can hail him to have him pause. Once he reaches the dragon, Xanamech activates and attacks. You MUST keep Nitram alive so be sure to turn the dragon to keep him out of frontal AE and riposte damage. Once Xanamech goes down you can hail Nitram to receive a character flag allowing you to open the Factory Door to reach the Manaetic Behemoth. Xanamech drops a few spells and two of the following:
Endurance Testing
  • Size: 6
  • Respawn: Instant?
Inside of the factory area (see Xanamech above for access) find Researcher Kaeon. Hail him and follow the dialog (keyword: I am ready) to start the event. This will teleport you and your group into a square room where you will face multiple waves of multiple clockwork spiders. After 6 waves Researcher Kelrig will spawn and ask if you wish to continue or quit. if you say "quit" Kelrig will port you out. If you say "continue" Kelrid will start another set of waves of spiders and you can do this up to four sets of waves. On the final wave of each set you will get one of the following:
Manaetic Prototype IX, X, and XI
  • Size: 3+ groups
  • Respawn: 3 days
Inside the factory (see Xanamech above for access) is a X-intersection with Manaetic Prototype IX in the south wing, X in the east wing, and XI in the west. Each prototype is tethered to their room, if they are pulled out they will reset to full health, which makes pulling any trash out fairly easy. Once engaged randomly a prototype will banish the tank to the next prototype's room, IX to X, X to XI, and XI to IX. You can either choose one, burn it down, rez any banished, med up, and move on to next (which means banished will go to an empty room). Or you can set up multiple tank teams and manage all three at once while dps focuses. Each prototype drops a spell or two and one of the following:
Manaetic Behemoth
  • Size: 54
  • Respawn: 3 days
Inside the factory (see Xanamech above for access) to the west there is a large room with the Manaetic Behemoth. A series of spiders roam into the room and explode. To activate the Behemoth you need to prevent the spiders from reaching him for 5-10 minutes. Once activated engage and kill while keeping spiders contained. Upon its deatha Planar Projection spawns, hail it for your flag to unlock Plane of Tactics. The Manaetic Behemoth drops 4 spells and 2 of the following:
