Aetherium Raid (Low)

Quest Overview
One of the many quests from the Inner Sea Gear Knight Invasion Area aimed at lower level characters.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Speak with Sir Oakley at the Inner Sea Gear Knight Resistance Camp at 33.4S, 6.3E. Everyone in the group must speak to Oakley.
 * 2) * Route: Yaraq to Ijaniya settlement at 22.4S, 0.2E, run to 33.4S, 6.3E.
 * 3) Head to the Gear Knight Excavation at 36.0S, 7.2E.
 * 4) Work your way to the bottom. There are a few dead ends but the dungeon is fairly small and easy to navigate.  Just hug the right wall and you'll get there quickly.
 * 5) At the end you will find a Dull Aetherium Ore Stockpile guarded by several Stockpile Guardians. Destroy the stockpile. Note: The guardians respawn very quicky, and do not leave a corpse or drop any loot so there is no use killing them.
 * 6) When the stockpile is destroyed, several Dull Aetherium Ore Fragments appear on the ground after about 10 seconds. Pick one up.
 * 7) Return to Sir Oakley and give him the fragment for your reward.

Lore & Dialog

 * Sir Oakley tells you, "Greetings. I have been stationed here by the Queen in order to assist in the slowing of the Gear Knight forces invading Dereth."
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "To that end, my scouts have identified a stockpile of Aetherium Ore at the bottom of one of the Gear Knights excavations. If you are willing, I am authorized to send adventurers to destroy the stockpile, and reward you if you bring me proof of its destruction."
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "You will find the tunnels they have dug at 36.1 S, 7.2 E. They've been reinforcing the location since they created it, so expect defenses in place."
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "My reports indicate that the resistance in the site is quite high, so you may want to recruit a few of your compatriots to assist in this mission. Just make sure they all come to me first, so I can properly reward them upon your successful completion."


 * Sir Oakley tells you, "You'll find the excavation they're using to store their Aetherium Stockpile at 36.1 S, 7.2 E. Get in there, destroy it, and bring me back some of the remaining debris as proof."


 * With a thunderous explosion, the stockpile is destroyed, leaving only scattered pieces of debris to mark its passage.


 * You allow Sir Oakley to examine your Dull Aetherium Ore Fragment.
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "A job well done. I'll take the remaining debris off your hands, and reward you."
 * You hand over 1 of your Dull Aetherium Ore Fragments.
 * You've earned 5,000,000 experience.
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "It'll take them a while to build up another stockpile. Come back in a week, and I'll have another mission for you."


 * Sir Oakley snaps off a quick salute.
 * Sir Oakley tells you, "Thanks again for your assistance in slowing down the progress of these Gear Knight invaders. Once I've verified another stockpile, I'd be grateful for your assistance in removing it."
 * This quest may be completed again in 6d.
