== Quest Overview ==
* As of the [[Secrets of the Apostates]] (May 2009) patch, you no longer need to do the this quest to gain access to Crystalline Crag. Previously this quest was needed to use the Resonant Portal to be portaled to Crag.
* This quest is changing every patch.
 
 
== Walk Through ==
=== Old Ghosts ===
* With the destruction of [[Mar'uun]], the Test Portal is still there, but does not function. Both NPCs are gone, 2 corpses can be found near the Test Portal...
* Pick up a [[Scrap of Paper|Scrap of Paper (Mar'uun)]] on the ground near where [[Kaywin]] once was.
 
 
 
=== Secrets of the Apostates ===
 
* During this patch the Test Portal has become unstable so no experiments are currently possible. Marcus says they hope to resume testing next month.

=== Who Watches the Virindi?/What Once was Lost ===
 
# Enter the [[Mar'uun]] portal at 10.6S, 17.1E.
#* '''Route:''' From [[Al-Arqas]], take the [[Al-Nosaj]] portal at 33.5S, 13.1E.
# The dungeon is a town with regular vendor NPCs and no monsters. In the dungeon find the area with 2 NPCs conducting portal space experiments.
# Talk to [[Marcus Manfried]] then [[Wren the Curious]] and he will direct you to enter the Enhanced Test portal there by double clicking it.
#:: <font color="green">You've earned 1,000,000 experience.</font>
#:: <font color="cornflowerblue">Enhanced Test Portal teleports you with Test Portal.</font>
 
 
=== Unfinished Business ===
'''Optional Step'''<br>
Go to the [[Resonant Portal]] at 14.6S 62.2W. Double click the portal and you will get a green message but not be portaled anywhere.
* '''Route:''' Use the Izji Qo's Portal Device at your mansion.
* <font color="green">The portal emanates an odd thrumming sound. The vibrations through the air seem foreign to even you, an experienced portal traveler.</font>
* This will result in a slightly different response from the NPCs and the Test Portal but as far as we know does not give any benefit.
 
 
'''Required Steps'''
# Enter the [[Mar'uun]] portal at 10.6S, 17.1E.
#* '''Route:''' From [[Al-Arqas]], take the [[Al-Nosaj]] portal at 33.5S, 13.1E.
# The dungeon is a town with regular vendor NPCs and no monsters. In the dungeon find the area with 2 NPCs conducting portal space experiments.
# Talk to [[Marcus Manfried]] then [[Wren the Curious]] and he will direct you to enter the Test portal there by double clicking it.
#: If you didn't go to the Resonant Portal it will only portal you a short distance away.
#:: <font color="green">You've earned 1,000,000 experience.</font>
#:: <font color="cornflowerblue">Test Portal teleports you with Test Portal.</font>
#: If you went to the Resonant Portal before you went to Mar'uun you may get portaled to a strange area called the [[Portal Space Eddy]] where lots of portal space energy is flowing (it looks like the Portal Space dungeon from the Invoker quest). After a few seconds you will be portaled back to Mar'uun near the NPCs.

#::<font color="cornflowerblue">Test Portal teleports you with Portal Space Eddy.<br>
#::Portal Space Eddy teleports you with Test Portal.</font>
# Talk to the two NPCs again and you will be flagged to enter the [[Resonant Portal]].
# Go to the Resonant Portal and double click it. It will now portal you to the top of the [[Crystalline Crag]].
#: <font color="green">Your resonance is now properly in tune with that of the portal.</font>
#: <font color="cornflowerblue">Resonant Portal teleports you with Crystalline Portal.</font>

=== Secrets of the Apostates ===
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "Our test portal has become unstable and we won't be able to continue our tests until we're able to stabilize it."<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "We've heard of some very stange experiences from our test subjects that we're looking into also."<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "There's nothing else that you can do for us now. Come back next month, we're hoping to have everything resolved by then."<br>
 
Wren the Curious tells you, "I've been here adjusing this portal for days and we're no closer to having it stabilized."<br>
Wren the Curious tells you, "Marcus doesn't seem to know what the problem is but I think something is very wrong here."<br></font>
 
<font color=grey>Wren the Curious says, "I can't wait to get back to work... trying to stablize this portal one adjustment at a time is monotonous at best."<br></font>

=== Who Watches the Virindi? ===
 
 
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "We're starting a new round of experiments. Our last round of participants assisted greatly."<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "We'd like to measure the changes in our previous subjects as well as taking in new subjects as this time."<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "You can talk to me again if you would like to assist us."<br></font>
 
<font color=grey>Marcus Manfried says, "We need to examine the properties associated with this modulation."<br>
Wren the Curious says, "I'm examining the modulation of the portal... now."<br></font>
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "Talk to my assistant if you would like to participate in this round of testing. We've also been correcting the resonance of adventurers to match that of the portal found at what is now being called the Crystalline Crag. Simply pracipate in our test and we'll make sure you're set."<br></font>
 
<font color=grey>Wren the Curious says, "Are you back to help again or a new participant?"<br>
Wren the Curious says, "Okay, I'll set up the correct tests. Talk to me when you're ready to go."<br></font>
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Wren the Curious tells you, "The process has been prepared. When you are ready use the test portal."<br></font>
<font color=grey>Marcus Manfried says, "We're never going to make any progress at this rate. We need to bring in some test subjects."</font>

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Our current experimentation is intended to further understand and possibly bypass the restrictions of certain portals."<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "This is only our current round of experiments. We're hoping to unlock all the secrets of portal space and time."<br>

'''Response if you used the Resonant Portal prior to going to Mar'uun:'''<br>
<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "When you came in here I detected some indications that you've interacted with a portal with some strange properties. Could you tell me about the portals you've encountered recently?"</font><br>

<font color=darkgoldenrod>Marcus Manfried tells you, "You've really been around haven't you?"<br>
Marcus Manfried tells you, "Could you tell me more about the portal in the direlands surrounded by crystals?"<br>
