Geraine's Hosts

Quest Overview
House Mhoire wants to take the offensive against Geraine.
 *  Important:  You must have completed the Mhoire Infiltration Quest before starting this quest.
 * Note: You can complete the books in any order, however you cannot obtain the rewards for later books until you have completed the first 4 books.
 * Note: 7 Hearts were added to this Quest as part of the Wayward Prince update.
 * Note: There is no pickup timer on the hearts.
 * Note: Once you have acquired all 7 hearts the backpack they reside in gets renamed to "Contents of Corpse of Geraine".
 *  Important:  If you wish the Mhoire Lieutenant NPC to spawn in Wai Jhou then all 7 hearts must be turned in within the 10 minute timer on the Hearts, this means that a full 7 host sync kill must take place. All 7 hearts do not need to be turned in by the same person. After a 5 day period the Mhoire Lieutenant will despawn, during The Risen Princess event the Mhoire Lieutenant's timer was adjusted and he now persists in the world longer and is not as stingy at giving out titles. If you lifestone tie or have a portal tie in Wai Jhou you should make it to the Lieutenant in time to receive the titles.

 * 8) * Note: If you miss, you will be portalled into the center of the Graveyard, at 65.6S, 44.1W.
 * 9) * Tip: Because the doors close when you attack Geraine, you may also wish to camp bows/mages in the door. This will allow people to get back if they die. The door will open up after approx. 30-35 minutes.

 * 11) * Note: When you attack, Geraine will summon a variety of elemental defenders onto each on different platforms; Kill them.
 * 12) * Tip: It is recommended that you NOT jump around with Geraine. Simply have ranged attackers kill him. If you move to lower platforms, other mobs will jump down at you and it is VERY easy to get overwhelmed.
 * 13) Once he portals, Geraine will spawn a crystal of each element (Acid Crystal, Ice Crystal, Fire Crystal, Electric Crystal) on each platform:
 * 14) * Note: Bludgeon works on all the crystals and they die fairly quickly.
