Notes

• If you do this mission in a group, pay attention!!! The spawns in Mazzeroth and Moto are triggered by warping to a nav. Only one character on the mission should go to a spawn point at a time or you WILL bug the others in your party on the same step! Each character must loot the mobs for the mission to progress correctly.
• First available Christmas 2023
• Portions of this mission take place in difficult to reach areas, i.e. keys for both Maelstroms are needed, as is access to Moto.
• The mission rewards a "random" unidentified L6 AA, but there are only four of those so it is guaranteed to be one of these:
  • aa Bahtu Ry Ne (Equipment Engineering, Resist Psionic, See Cloaked)
  • aa Gahkur Ry Ne (Turbo Projectile, Increase Maneuverability, Increase Speed)
  • aa Gahtu Daimyo Sa Ne (PS-Only, Enhance Weapon - BOOST!, Recharge Shields - BOOST, Deflect Impact)
  • aa Gahyt Ry Ne (Turbo Beam, Enhance Beam, Equipment Damage Control - Weapons)
