Step 1. Take the quest from Mordred

Teleport to Hardin's Private Academy from Giran, Hunters Village or Oren. Dark Knight Mordred stands a short run south of the teleport. Only a level 76 Bladedancer can take the quest — a subclass works too. Mordred gives you the Guild Report and sends you to Elena in Goddard.

Step 2. Elena in the Goddard church

Teleport to the Town of Goddard and find Spellbook Seller Elena in the church. She can't read the ancient document without the Ancient Language Dictionary, and only Bavarin in the Hot Springs has one.

Step 3. An Ice Crystal for Bavarin

Teleport from Goddard to the Hot Springs: Information Broker Bavarin rests by the springs east of the teleport. He trades the dictionary only for an Ice Crystal, which comes from The Finest Ingredients — Part 1 by Chef Jeremy in the same area at level 73+: 50 items each from Hot Springs Nepenthes lv. 75, Hot Springs Atrox lv. 76 and Hot Springs Bandersnatchling lv. 73. Give the crystal to Bavarin and the dictionary to Elena — she hands you Resonance Amulet - 1.

Step 4. The first tablet near the Tower of Insolence

From Hunters Village teleport to the Northern Pathway of the Enchanted Valley and run east along the road to Aden. The Tablet of Vision stands south of the Tower of Insolence. Talk to it and touch it with the amulet — the tablet takes the amulet and shows you the next one in the Valley of Saints.

Step 5. 10 guardians in the Valley of Saints

From Rune teleport to the Valley of Saints and run north, bearing slightly east, to the Tablet of Vision. Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge lv. 76 (level 76) fly around it: you need exactly 10 kills, only your own kills count, and the amulet comes with a 100% chance after the tenth. With Resonance Amulet - 2 talk to the tablet again — it sends you to Ketra.

Step 6. Lillian near Ketra

From Goddard teleport to the Ketra Orc Outpost and run east, towards the Four Sepulchers, to the Tablet of Vision. After you talk to it, Hallate's Dancer Lillian lv. 76 (level 76) appears nearby — kill her yourself and out of a party: if anyone else hits her, she vanishes with no reward. With Resonance Amulet - 3 talk to the tablet again — the vision shows Elena.

Step 7. A Divine Stone of Wisdom for Elena

Return to Elena in Goddard: for the next amulet she needs a Divine Stone of Wisdom. It comes from Magical Power of Water — Part 1 by Wahkan in Ketra or Magical Power of Fire — Part 1 by Naran Ashanuk in Varka — both need level 74 and an alliance of level 2 with that side (Ketra and Varka alliance). The side you name to Elena changes nothing — she accepts a stone from either. For the stone Elena gives you Resonance Amulet - 4.

Step 8. The tablet near the Monastery of Silence

The Tablet of Vision stands north of the Varka camp, next to the Monastery of Silence. The fastest way is the Rune teleport to the Monastery of Silence and a short run south; from Ketra it is a long run west. Touch the tablet with the amulet, then go back to Elena and press "Yes, of course!" — she tells you about the Archon of Halisha.

Step 9. 700 Halisha's Marks at the Shrine of Loyalty

From Goddard teleport to the Wall of Argos and run east to the Shrine of Loyalty. Kill Grave Scarab lv. 73, Scavenger Scarab lv. 73, Grave Ant lv. 74, Scavenger Ant lv. 74, Shrine Knight lv. 75 and Shrine Guard lv. 75 (levels 73–75) — each drops a Halisha's Mark and you need 700 (see the table below for your rate). Once you have 700, the next mob you kill summons the Archon of Halisha lv. 76 and takes 20 marks. Kill the Archon yourself and out of a party within 10 minutes to get Resonance Amulet - 5; the marks disappear.

Instead of step 9: the Archon in the Four Sepulchers

1. Gather a party for the Four Sepulchers: every member needs the Four Goblets quest and an Entrance Pass to the Sepulcher.

2. Kill the Archon of Halisha lv. 81 inside the sepulchers — he gives Resonance Amulet - 5 right away, no 700 marks needed. On some servers every Bladedancer of the party on this step gets the amulet, on others only the one who lands the killing blow.

Step 10. The tablet on the way to Goddard

The Tablet of Vision stands between the Shrine of Loyalty and Goddard, on your way back from the shrine. Touch it with the amulet: the vision shows a shadow at a tablet northeast of Rune.

Step 11. Death Lord Hallate in the Forest of the Dead

From Rune teleport to the entrance of the Forest of the Dead and run west to the Tablet of Vision. After you talk to it, Death Lord Hallate lv. 81 (level 81) and Scryde Heartseeker appear: you don't need to kill Hallate — land 16 hits on him in under a minute and he retreats. Talk to Scryde right away to get Resonance Amulet - 6, then touch the tablet again.

Step 12. Spectral Dancer from Mordred

Go back to Mordred at Hardin's Private Academy and press "Yes." — your class changes to Spectral Dancer. The reward is 2,299,404 XP, 5,000,000 adena (multiplied by the quest reward rate on some servers) and the Secret Book of Giants. If your level dropped below 76, Mordred asks you to come back once you are 76 again.

Next up is the subclass quest, if you haven't done it yet.

How many mobs to kill on your rate

Halisha's Marks drop with a 100% chance, and the quest drop rate multiplies the amount per kill. On some servers marks come one at a time on any rate — then you need 700 kills. The Valley of Saints always takes 10 guardians: it is a kill counter, the rate does not affect it.

Add one more mob to this number — it summons the Archon.
