Talk to the guy by the landing pad near where you get this quest, he will tell you how long until the next assault. When the timer is up, a squad of riders will head out to Bash'ir Landing, they stop at the Bash'ir Crystalforge (the same place you trade in shards for the magic buff potions). So if you aren't present when they take off, you can just meet them there.

There is no quest to accept for this as far as I can tell (though I'm only friendly with the Skyguard). What happens it that waves of monsters start attacking the crystalforge area that the riders landed at. You fight them off as long as you can, at "checkpoints", the main researchers sends off a flare that calls an NPC. The NPC sells 4 different buff potions for 10 apexis shards each, (don't recall all of them, things like +20 crit rating for 2 hours persists through death). They are similar to the other potions you can buy with shards, they only work in blade's edge and Gruul's Lair.

After that drink NPC came, the waves of monsters became entirely elites and we were overrun (there were 5 of us fighting aside from the NPCs).

I'd imagine the longer you fight, the more checkpoints you reach and different things happen (like more vendors with rare stuff or something). 5 was not enough people to do this (though we weren't all partied).

I'd suggest getting as many people as possible to do it, use general chat to call for help from the whole zone if you can. The rewards seem to affect everyone who is present.

Hopefully some of you out there will get farther than we did and can share what happens later on.

One last thing to note is that once we were overrun the potion seller disappeared, so it seems you can only buy things during the fight, not after (unless you win, I'd assume).

It seems (at least on our server) that the assaults happen on every even hour (12, 2, 4 etc...).

You will need a group of atleast 25 to complete this event, I suggest you bring 30 or more and be organized.
After the first wave is defeated you can buy unstable flasks from http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23243
Defeat more and you get to shop unstable gems from http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23244

At this point there will be total chaos, with many elites spawning along with
The Grand Collector, http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23333
Kill him several times, as he seems to regain his powers, and protect the npc's.
Now you can speak with http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23245

The NPC's only stay a few minutes after the event is completed before they leave.

If you do want to complete this event and are not enough players, you can team up with the other faction to have enough manpower to defeat the spawns.

Some notes:

A *lot* of mobs spawn for this event, and they *keep* spawning! Eventually, these include elites.

You don't have to follow the NPCs in. In fact, they go faster than the standard mount speed. Instead, get ahead of them. They land at the Bash'ir Crystalforge: http://www.wowhead.com/?object=185921.

Some towers spawn that lob bombs with an AoE. These are non-elite, but take a lot to kill. It's possible that they are responsible for summoning more, but that's not clear.

If the NPCs survive long enough, one will spawn that sells flasks (any kind you'd want) for 10 shards each. The flasks only work in Gruul's Lair and the Blade's Edge plateaus.

After that, there's one that sells rare-quality gems for 40 shards each. Finally, there's one that sells meta-gems (160 shards each) and items that appear to be related to summoning outdoor mini-bosses.

Some of the NPCs in this quest repeat lines from the movie Aliens. Fun quest, and very hectic. My group (Prot War, Fury War, Holy Priest, and Marks Hunter) was able to stay alive until the siege towers began attacking heavily along with elite mobs.

Something to note is that the flasks are purchased with apexis shards, but they do not BOP and thusly can be put in the AH. As this quest is the only way to aquire certain ones (of the soldier, etc.) that may be a way of making some decent gold.

Assault on Bash'ir Landing!
Located at 54,10
Blades Edge Mountains

The following guide is a compilation of zone, quest, bestiary, loot, and comments from various sources.

No comments offered specific names for elite mobs so some error is very likely. A Boss loot table is available for the Bash'ir Reckoner which is actually random world drops for this zone. The final boss is called The Grand Collector who has no loot table.

Survival of the NPC vendors is mandatory for completion of all three Phases. **NPCs cannot be healed.** An easy way is consecrate, and they won’t ever get hit except by the last boss's AoE bolts. Using two forces to 1) defend NPCs and 2) assault the waves of spawns will need to be organized.

We recently attempted this with a balanced group of 15 (3 tanks; 3 paladins; lots of ranged dps) Kara/Heroic geard players and vent. We only had one death at the end of the event, but unfortunately the NPC died from the final boss. During each phase, the mobs will spawn in a 180° arc a short distance from the NPC. If you keep your two teams close to the NPCs, the mobs will come to you in groups of 3 or 4 which helps to avoid body pulls.

Completion of Phase I summons the Aether-tech Assistant Potion Vendor – requires <10 participants
All flasks cost (10 Apexis) and may be purchased in quantity of 1 or 5. Search Aether-tech Assistant for details.

Completion of Phase II summons the Aether-Tech Adept Gem Vendor – requires <20 participants
All gems are (40 apexis) and are Unique Equipped. Search "Aether-Tech Adept" for details.

Completion of Phase III summons the Aether-tech Master – requires 20-40. Search "Aether-tech Master" for details.

**Phase I begins with a number of non-elite Flesh Beasts (maybe 10-15). Then the Bash'ir Flesh Fiend (72elite)(80k health) spawns.

After the Bash'ir Flesh Fiend (72elite) dies an NPC arrives and fires a flare which causes the Aether-tech Assistant Potion Vendor to spawn, and begins Phase II.

**Phase II begins with many (20ish) Bash'ir Subprimal (elite)(12k hp) which spawn nearby. Things become somewhat hectic at this point. It did not appear that they all attack at once, but are either pulled or proximity aggroed.

After a short time, non-elite Disruptor Towers (70)(28k hp) surrounded by Bash'ir Controller (elite)(16k hp) spawn at a raged distance. The towers will fire AOE bombs on the NPC. Using ranged DPS on the towers will minimize the number of Bash'ir Controllers aggroed during this stage. As each tower is destroyed, the four Elites arround it will aggro on the NPC. Destroy the towers one at a time and be prepared for each group of Elites. Destruction of the Disruptor Towers will cause the Aether-Tech Adept Gem Vendor to be summoned and begins Phase III.

**Phase III begins with waves of hard-hitting elites (?Bash'ir Reckoner 36k hp?) They are immune to most/all cc and occasionally spell reflect. After a short period, the final boss The Grand Collector will spawn, however he is not targettable. He will stay at range and continually summon a bunch of harder elites, kill them off and after another couple of minutes he will rush into combat and can be attacked.

Have someone tank him, and the rest of the raid needs to control the elites as they will continue to attack the NPC. He has quite a lot of health and takes a good amount of time to go down. He doesn’t hit the tank too hard, however he does an AoE that does about 1500-2500 per person, and has no target limit. Time is a factor, as this will eventually kill the NPC at the forge and end the event.

After killing the Boss, the Aether-tech Master Vendor spawns.

The loot table for the Boss listed on various sites is incorrect. He may drop an Ethereum Prison Key, but any other loot listed is random world drop for this zone.

Okay i just finished the event with 16 mediocrely geared players

The above is generally correct with a few errors. The vendor spawns are linked to the emotes of the main guy, Aether-tech Master Vendor spawned BEFORE the end significantly. We didnt even have to agro the final boss.

I have uploaded pictures, keep in mind it is every even hour on the bliz timer, it is at 54,10. Also note the position of the vendors ( they can be hard to find amongst 20 players ), they are for the first 2 vendors to the side, the last is right at the pool

Confirming the 2 metas that are avaliable do cost 160 apexis shards, they are bought off the FINAL vendor, not the other vendor.

Note the uploaded screenshots for more help

If you're just there for the flasks you don't necessarily have to gather a group by the way. I just went there casually and there was a priest of the other faction and we killed the mobs for a while and when we couldn't take them anymore went away, came back. The vendor came and we got our flasks and left.

Commentaire de Mishiana

I soloed it as a 70 hunter. There were 3 waves but only 1 elite at the end. I kept snake traps down to help pull aggro off of the npc who was at the Crystalforge and kept aggro bounced between me and my cat using multishot and feign death to help keep the fighting npcs from dying. I died after doing a bit of damage to the elite and losing my cat but with the 5 fighting npcs left they finished off the elite. The vendor that I was able to use didn't have metas but had the 4 gruuls flasks so I may not have fully completed the event.

So How do i Unlock this Event?

Commentaire de 699291

I was able to solo this as shadow priest but only up untill half way through 4th wave.... bringing friends are reccomended...

Commentaire de 729564

Soloed extremely easily as an arcane mage with 371 ilvl. Takes just under 15 minutes.

Commentaire de 833385

The fight isn't part of the quest! The quest is just to ask what time the next assault is. Walk or ride the tiny distance from one npc to another and the quest is yours. Soloed at any level.

Commentaire de 962971

Since all the comments on this are old, I thought I'd throw out an update. On 8/20/12 this mission was easily solo'd with a 392 survival hunter and ferocity pet. The NPC's do in fact leave after only a few minutes, so have your crytals ready to buy anything you want.

Commentaire de Khalexa

I've been present at both locations (The Skyguard base) and at Bash'ir Landing at the correct time for an assault, and nothing happens. Does this event continue to occur? I never even saw a quest pop up at the Skyguard base to indicate that it would be happening. I even raised my rep with the Skyguard to honored in case it was a rep problem. Still, nothing. The Aether Tech Apprentice tells me it's going to happen, the time counts down, and then he starts over with "We'll be going in 2 hrs". SO frustrating, since this is the only way to spawn the vendor that sells the gloves to my xmog set (Windchanneller's Gloves), and they are the only gloves like that in game. :(

Any help?

This still happens.

I've been in the area a few times, and every time I talk to Techno-éther apprenti, he says it's starting in 0 minutes. Today, I asked him at around 14:50 EDT and he said the same thing. At 15:21 EDT I asked again, and he said something about someone needing help at Bash'ir Landing

I flew to Bash'ir Landing, to the Crystalforge at 54.4, 10.7, and there were some friendly NPCs defending it from the occasional mob that broke from the pack wandering around to SE.
- I cleared all the mobs, one NPC shot up some flares, and an NPC vendor flew in.
- New mobs spawned, cleared them, 2nd vendor flew in.
- Once more, and the Techno-éther maître flew in.

Of course, I was short on the currencies needed to buy all the xmog, and he despawned shortly thereafter, but take hope! It still exists!

Commentaire de Niixten

The event spawn every 2 hours. It spawned at 10 am server time for me on eu. Npcs reached the assault point after 6-7 minutes.

Commentaire de Mathianas

Can confirm it still happens, 8 server time 9EST on Emerald Dream on 3/22/23. Rolled up to the Skyguard camp on the west side of Blade's Edge at 8/9EST, and they were mounting up and flying over. Follow them, and they go to the crystalforge--the eastmost Ethereal part of Bash'ir Landing. At 8:11 a giant flesh fiend spawned, and after defeating it a bunch of unwrapped Ethereals (Bash'ir Subprimals) joined the wandering flesh fiends. A couple minutes later some Ethereal towers spawned. After killing them, a third vendor showed up selling cut gems. Then large Ethereals started attacking.
After 20 minutes, the boss that appears attacks, and once you kill him the last Aether Tech spawns and you can buy the Acceler Module.

Haro sur le point d'ancrage de Bash'ir

Parlez au Techno-éther apprenti à l’Avant-poste de la Garde-ciel, dans les Tranchantes.

Description

Holà, <mon p'tit/ma p'tite> ! <Prêt/Prête> à vous amuser un brin ?

Toutes les deux heures, mes techno-éthers donnent l'assaut au point d'ancrage de Bash'ir, loin au nord-est dans les Tranchantes. Ils disent y aller pour « étudier » la cristalforge Bash'ir, mais c'est bien une attaque, y'a pas à tortiller. On se sert de la cristalforge pour se réapprovisionner, et il y a toujours du rab à revendre.

Descendez donc sur la piste d'envol pour en causer avec le techno-éther apprenti. Il vous dira quand part la prochaine mission.
