Gates of Discord: Yxtta, Pulpit of Exiles

Overview

Yxtta is opened up along with Kod'Taz and is similar both in terms of difficulty and rewards. General mob population ranges from 64 to 68 and all of them hitting for over 1k with loot having around 125 hp/mana and having a type 8 slot instead of type 7. There are only 5 rares spawning in specific areas. Most rares' loot tables consist of 2 augments and 1 piece of gear. In addition to the rares there are two zonewide drops Glowing Bone Ring and Attuned Discord Earring.

There are zones to Kod'Taz up north, a path to Qvic behind the temple to the west, and the entrance to the raid zone Uqua in the south west. The east side of the zone is blocked off by a locked door, sealed by the Riddles, leading to the Primals. And a rather nasty Ikaav guards the temple leading to Qvic.

Events and Raids

Pixtt Suir Mindrider

Size: Unlimited
Respawn: 3 days
Trigger: None.

Pixtt Suir Mindrider spawns in the temple leading to Qvic and can be a very challenging event. For starters she h its for 2400 and reportedly can flurry as well (any confirmation?). She will buff herself with Chaos Guard, which reduces damage from melee and spells by 50% up to 20k damage. She casts 4 debilitating AEs:

Ward of the Feebleminded - 50% spell slow
Ward of the Weak - a 50% melee slow
Ward of Degeneration - a 50% reduction to spell damage
Ward of Confrontation - a 95% reduction in spell range (bunch up!!)

Each of these have 198 curse counters, so you can't realisticly expect to cure them, but they only last for 18 seconds each. But the real danger comes from a pair of charm spells, a proc Chaos Epidemic, and a random target Curse of the Ikaav which also drains the targets mana. She will debuff herself and her pets with Balance of the Nameless, so be aware of things wearing off.

She drops two of the following:

Quests

Yxtta Riddles

Quest giver: none
Requirements: none
Reward: Opens the door to Primals

In the eastern half of the zone there is a locked door leading to the caves containing the Primals. To unlock the door you must answer 12 riddles in sequence. You begin by clicking one of the idols around the room and you will get a riddle. The answer (1-12) will point to the next idol to click (see map below), which will give you the next riddle, and so on. The order of the riddles is random each time. If you complete all 12 correctly the door will unlock for around 3.5 hours. If you click incorrectly a pair of golems will attack hitting for 1200 each (does this start over?) It is advisible to wait a minute between getting a riddle and clicking the answer, going too fast can bug the script. But waiting too long can cause it to start over.

There are 3 riddles per answer:
