Opticording Sphere Quest/Spoiler

* Rope * Shovel * Pick (Will be lost and can't be one of the secret agent tools) * Access to Gnomebase Alpha (rank 2 of Bigfoot's Burden Quest) * At least stage 2 of the Deeplings World Change opened on your server

= Obtaining Sphere

= You now must go all around Tibia and find strange symbols engraved in certain places. Once found, use the Opticording Sphere at the spot. The engravings must be decoded using binary to ASCII text conversion in order to reveal their true message. If you stand on the correct spot when using the sphere a message will appear: "Suddenly, the opticording sphere emits an extremely bright light. It seems something inside the sphere has changed.". If you are on the wrong spot the following message appears instead: "Nothing happens except... no, absolutely nothing is happening at all." The following is all the data you will need (the order in which you go to these locations doesn't matter, but you need to remember which order you did them for the next stage of the quest): * Venore - Zathroth "wikitable" style="text-align:center;" style="width:33;" "width:33;" "width:33;" | Entrance to the Prison and Garrison Roof of Paupers Palace Roof of Crunor's Finest Warehouse Note1: To get to the roof of the prison, get to the upper floor and you will find a levitation spot between the first and second column of beds. Note2: To get the vision of the Paupers Palace roof, you need to stand in the location shown in the map, at street level, you will be able to see the strange carving on the roof. * Gnomebase - Ferumbras *:Go to the Mushroom Farms, and use the Sphere near the Strange Symbols (Mushroom Gardens). * Gray Island - Qjell *:Go to the main Fiehonja library (Stage 2 or 3 of the Deeplings World Change required, lvl 120+ recommended) and use the Sphere (Deepling ornament is on the floor). * Ankrahmun - Zoralurk *:Go to Horestis Tomb, first floor underground and use the Sphere (Hieroglyphs are on the walls and pillars). * Ab'Dendriel - Garsharak *:Go to the temple and use the Sphere (symbols are on the Strangely Shaped Menhir). Show-HideClick to view how each symbol is translated. The translation of the symbols to visions is as follows.

= Now that you have all 5 visions, you can begin with the NPC dialog. Go back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge. Use the skull to the west to open the path to the NPC Mysterious Ornate Chest (NPC). Say to the NPC (the order may differ depending on the order in which you acquired visions): :hi - Zoralurk :hi - Ferumbras :hi - Garsharak :hi - Zathroth :hi - QJ-(( You will now be asked the meaning of the five walls of testimony. Leave the room (light the torches and use the torch west of the chest if you get trapped) and travel to the Dwarf Mines in the surface west of Kazordoon. Go down into the southern mine entrance, , then follow the path to the right and go down the hole, as if you were going to the Sunken Mines. Walk south into the flooded tunnels, then continue east until you find with a blocked entrance. In order to enter the room, you must walk the tiles in a specific order, walking diagonally. File:Opticorder entrance.png Note: If the door closes while you are inside, use the torch bearer south of the Chalk Board to open it again. right|150px Inside the room you will find Opticorder Forge (NPC) and a Strangely Shaped Block to the east. Again, to obtain the keywords, it was necessary to convert binary symbols visible on the two walls of the block to ASCII text. The method to decode this is the same used on the Strangely Shaped Menhir in Ab'Dendriel's temple, explained above. These dots, in binary, correspond to 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101100 01100001 01110100 01100101 01100100 01100011 01110010 01100001 01100100 01101100 01100101 Translating into ASCII characters you'll get isolated cradle, which is the keyword you must say to the NPC. After doing so, use the Opticorder Forge object. thumb|220x220px|none Now, when you use your Opticording Sphere, it will give you the following message: '''You seem to recognise several words: 'Key mechanism adjusted' and 'Opticorder key mechanism adjusted. Password required.'''' After this, travel back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge and tell the keyword marionettes to Mysterious Ornate Chest (NPC) (this comes from the text shown when you use the sphere after gathering all visions: The sphere shows a faint glow. You seem to recognise several words: "Manipulated from above, dancing on a string."). Doing this will unlock the chest and allow you to use it. Note: You might have to use the chest first for it to sync properly before speaking to the NPC. none|thumb|220px You will receive a Mysterious Metal Egg. This egg can be opened to reveal an Opticompass Sphere and a Rolled-up Parchment. If you use the Opticompass Sphere you will receive the message The needle spins inside the compass.

= Now you have to travel to Krailos, where using the sphere will lead you east from town, to a place with dragon bones. Use a pick on the tile north of the Pile of Bones, to go into a small cave. The northwest area contains a color puzzle and a corridor behind a stone door. If you remove all light-emitting objects on your character you will see the tiles change colours (Blue - Red - Yellow) as you step on them. Also, in the minimap you will see a certain black dots and lines in a hallway, which is, again, binary code. The binary code from the Rolled-up Parchment in the egg is °°°°°°°° = 0000011111011100 = 2012 in decimal. File:Opticording Krailos Minimap.PNG The binary code from the minimap (as shown to the right) in the cave is: 00001011 and 00001111 = 11 and 15 in decimal. Based on this, we have a date: 15/11/12. Check the Tibia news archive for this date and you should find a concerned with the latest revamp of Venore. Open the first animated gif image you come across and you should notice a flashing frame that is very hard to see. Once you manage to freeze that frame, it will show a 5x5 color pattern made with blue, red, and yellow flowers. This is the answer to the color puzzle. The easiest way is to start at the south and then work to the north. Remember that the tiles have a timer and will be switched into default tiles after waiting for too long, so you got to hurry a bit. When you complete the puzzle will you get teleported into the room ("Before you get a chance to react, you find yourself at the other side of a solid wall in the midst of a dark tunnel.''"). If you want to enter the room again after exiting, you don't have to do the entire puzzle again: just use the Stone Wall (Draft) that is adjacent to the hallway. Frame 1 delay-0.1s.gif|The frame extracted from the official news article with the answer. Opticording Quest Krailos.png|The (unsolved) puzzle. Once inside you will find an Opticorder Analyser. Click on the Analyser, having in your Backpack the Complete Opticording Sphere. You will recieve the message '''''"The device fits. A lock clicks, the strange thing starts rumbling and then grinds to a halt faster than you can say 'magic'."''''' and the Analyser would turn into Opticorder Analyser (Activated).

= A new site was discovered under the Gnome Deep Hub. You can access it by entering the Gnomus' tasks area and then going to the Lost Ruin, . There will be one Skull Pillar and one Pillar Vine. Use them once each to be sent to the forge. Inside the forge, you'll find an Opticorder Rectifier and Blue Spectacles inside a chest just next to it. You can also read about the experiences of one the planegazers in Lone Gatekeeper (Book). Now you have to use the Blue Spectacles in each one of the sites to have a glimpse of a ghost. Go to all the Sites and use the Spectacles in them to see their respective ghosts: * In the Gnome Deep Hub, where you acquired them, use them near the crops; * In Ab'Dendriel, ; * Near the Sunken Mines, ; * In the Rathleton Sewers, below a sewer grate, you'll find a . To reach it go down , then , and finally down the grate ; * On Krailos, ; After using the Blue Spectacles inside all Sites, go back to the one in the Gnome Deep Hub. You will now be able to use the Opticorder Rectifier while holding a Complete Opticording Sphere in your backpack, and an Energy Gate will appear. Enter it to access the Headquarters of the Planegazers. You will find many Ghosts of Planegazers here. They are very hard to kill alone and don't pose much of a threat, so don't bother trying to kill them. They will attack you from a distance but you can keep them away using Fire Bombs and Fire Walls. You now must gather 3 Vocal Keys to be able to enter the Chamber of Reflections. Find the 3 NPCs to the south-east, marked the map: Yielothax, Glimpse of Allusion and WOX. You must greet them using the known password PLNSTRDR. * The Yielothax, will give you a riddle: ...THE THING ... WAS ASKED EIGHT AND SHAPED FIVE WITH HIS MOUTH... THE THING WAS THEN ASKED SIXTEEN AND SHAPED SEVEN... I ASK YOU SEVEN. The answer is the number of characters in the word: eight has five characters, sixteen has seven characters, and seven has five characters as well, which is the answer; * The Glimpse of Allusion will ask you a series of questions about an Edron traveller. The answers can be found in a room on the northern part of the map, called The Travelling Savant (Book). The correct answers you must say are: Fiehonja, Tin Key and Food Crate. * Finally, you must talk to WOX using Jekhr, the Deeplings' language. He will ask JEH GOUTHN JARKH. UM DIVIDE J. UT JE JUL KU LH. GONN EN NA? (The surface come in peace. And we let him stay. What are you?). Tell him you are Buhel, a visitor. (This dialog can also be found in a book in the Fiehonja Library). After talking to the 3 NPCs and gathering their Vocal Keys, you can access the Chamber of Reflections. You can enter the chamber with a team of up to 5 players. Once inside, you have to kill 5 bosses, one by one: * Reflection of a Mage * Reflection of Mawhawk * Reflection of Obujos * Last Planegazer The reflections are very similar to their real counterparts. The Last Planegazer is similar in strength to the Reflection of Obujos and can be attacked with all elements but Death Damage. The blocker can trap it in one of the small corridors to the north so it doesn't retarget on the shooters. The Last Planegazer drops The Cube . This fight can be repeated every 7 days and you'll always loot a new Cube from it. Note: There is a 10-minute time limit until you get kicked from the boss room.
