Tsaph Katta's Urn of Rejuvenation
Introduction
Obtaining the Tsaph Katta's Urn of Rejuvenation (and the achievement) requires completing 22 separate non-group tasks. Each task will yield a pottery fragment: 5 dusty, 5 polished, 5 worn, 5 smudged, and 2 handles. When you have all 5 of a type you can purchase a Pottery Sealant from Trader Hyalunes for 15 Orux. Combine the five like fragments to create a single piece, this consumes the sealant each time. When you have all 4 pieces and both handles, buy another sealant and put all six in to create Tsaph Katta's Urn of Rejuvenation.
The urn comes with 5 charges of Deep Stasis, a buff which heals 500 per tick, acts as a 2k rune, and a 1k spell damage shield. It can last up to 30 seconds, but if the rune is consumed the HoT ends too. It has a 42 minute recast. At any point you can give the urn to Head Attendant Haestus and he will return it with full charges.
