Plane of Air

Overview

The Plane of Air is a Tier 4 zone which requires all flags except Solusek Ro to access. Unlike the rest of the zones, most of the mobs here have very long respawns, around 3 hours. There are 5 islands, each with a mob type. Four of those have a rare mob which can spawn (no Stormrider rare mob), and four of them trigger an avatar when cleared fully (no avatar for armors at zone in). The Avatars reside in their temples and each drop a component to create the key for Xegony. Each temple also has a mini, an easy target with a single drop. Xegony is accessed via the rainbow on Spider island.

Avatar of Dust
  • Size: 54
  • Respawn: 3 days

One of the four ring events required to reach Xegony. Head to the Spider Island and start clearing trash. When cleared 15 "an erratic arachnid" will spawn, these need to be locked down for the duration as they instantly respawn if killed. While you lock down those you'll get a larger spider, 'a vorladien archwalker', which you need to kill. When it dies 3 'a vorladien spawn' will pop. Kill those for another archwalker, then 3 more 'a vorladien spawn', then a third archwalker. When the final archwalker goes down the mini-boss 'Sigismond Windwalker' activates. He flurries, AE rampage, procs a 3500dd, and casts a 100 range PBAE 6 second silence. Sigismond drops one loot:

Upon its death the Avatar of Dust spawns in its temple and you have just 45 minutes to engage it before it despawns. The Avatar flurries, AE rampages, casts an AE armor debuff, an AE 6-second silence, and a small AE with 500 dd and mana drain. The Avatar drops 5 Mystical Essence of Dust for the Xegony key, 1 Elemental Sleeve Mold, and 1 of the following:

He procs a 3500dd and casts a 100 range PBAE 6 second silence. Melernil drops one loot:

Xegony the Queen of Air
  • Size: 54, one key per group
  • Respawn: 3 days

The big boss of Plane of Air. To reach her you'll need to have one key per group. To get the key speak with Sarhya the Dawnbreeze in Tranquility to get a pouch. Combine the drops from the 4 Avatars in to get a Wind Etched Key. Head to the spider island and click the rainbow, the key will go on your keyring and your group gets ported up. Once you port up you are met by Muzlakh the Chosen so you'll need a decent squad up right at the start. Once it is defeated you get a bit to get setup.

First is 3 High Councilman of the Queen, each with a 1k AE and a 3k AE with 90% slow and like nearly everything here can memblur. Next up you'll deal with 6 A Prismatic Guardian of Xegony. With the guards taken care of you can start on Xegony. She has a 125 range PBAE that is a 1k dd, 200pt dot, melee silence, and melee slow with 13 curse counters. Once she hits 99% she spawns the first wave of adds, the raid needs to focus on them before taking Xegony down. Every 15% you get another wave of adds. The adds do not despawn when Xegony dies so you need to handle them, and they can memblur frequently making it near impossible to simply kite them. When Xegony dies you wil get an Amorphous Cloud of Air, one of the 4 pieces needed for Plane of Time key. Has a chance of dropping an Elemental Leg pattern as a bonus along with 2 of the following:
