Methods of Sarnak Destruction is the most important part of progression. Completion gives you Achievement: Essence of the Dragon I which grants immunity to a pair of powerful AEs cast by greenish sarnaks both in this expansion and the next. For this task you'll need at least two of each of the following, they are all prelootable and tradable:

• Intact White Dragon Scale - Yetis in Lcaenium
• Meteorite Fragment - Burynai in Scorched Woods
• Giant Lymph Node - Giants in Frontier Mountains fort
• Dronan Ore - Goblins in Temple of Droga
• Imperial Ore - Di'Zok in Chardok
• Korshan Sarnak Scale - Sarnak in Gates of Kor-Sha
• Ancient Sarnak Bones - "conscripted" goblins in Kor-Sha Laboratory

Place one of each in a forge and combine. If you succeed the task updates, but the result 'fails'. Go back to Ingisitorma Varro in Frontier Montains, collect a ground spawn near Brell in Brell's Temple, then do 8 more combines:

• Intact White Dragon Scale + Viscous Mana in Mixing Bowl
• Meteorite Fragment + Viscous Mana in Forge
• Giant Lymph Node + Viscous Mana in Brew Barrel
• Dronan Ore + Viscous Mana in Forge
• Imperial Ore + Viscous Mana in Forge
• Korshan Sarnak Scale + Viscous Mana in Mixing Bowl
• Ancient Sarnak Bones + Viscous Mana in Oven

In Gates of Kor-Sha head to far east (873, -1648, 255) with Viscous Mana to get a Korshan Portal Resonance. Lastly combine all 8 items in a forge to create Mana of the Sarnak. Return to Ingisitorma Varro to complete the task and get the achievement protecting you and your mercs.
