Once every two hours, a group of Skyguard will launch an attack from the Sha'tari Skyguard base at Ogri'la to Bash'ir Landing. The remaining time for the attack can be determined by talking to the Aether-tech NPC at the landing pad in the quest N [20-30] Assault on Bash'ir Landing!. Once the attack is underway, several Skyguard NPCs will engage the mobs at Bash'ir landing, and a series of NPC vendors will appear. The items provided by the vendors increase in quality as the attack is maintained, until eventually the entire area is wiped out by a large number of elite attackers.

Stage 1[]

Assault begins:

Bash'ir Arcanist yells: Get over there and realign The Crystal Forge.
Skyguard Aether-Tech yells: A discovery! I need aid with these measurements... I'll send a signal to my colleague!

Stage 1 complete:

Aether-tech Assistant yells: This forge can make unstable concoctions... to study them, I need Apexis Shards!

After the skyguard land a Slavering Slave will move in to attack the NPCs at regular intervals for a minute or two. The Aether-tech Assistant appears after defeating the elite Bash'ir Flesh Fiend. A group of about 5 is recommended for this phase.

Flask Bonus Bonus Bonus Cost
Inv potion 77 [Unstable Flask of the Elder] +20 intellect +30 stamina +8 mana per 5 sec. 10x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv potion 70 [Unstable Flask of the Physician] +20 intellect +30 stamina +44 healing 10x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv potion 91 [Unstable Flask of the Bandit] +20 agility +30 stamina +40 attack power 10x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv potion 84 [Unstable Flask of the Soldier] +20 strength +30 stamina +20 critical strike rating 10x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]

These flasks only work in Blade's Edge and Gruul's Lair. Like all flasks they last 2 hours (Changed to 1 hour in Patch 3.1.0) and the effects persist through death.

Stage 2[]

Stage 2 begins:

Skyguard Aether-Tech yells: The disruptor towers over charged the crystalforge, and uncovered more secrets! Hold them! Hold them while we gather new data!

Stage 2 complete:

Aether-tech Adept yells: I am growing amazing crystals from these waters. For catalysts, I must have more Apexis shards!

Bash'ir Subprimals crowd the area. Once enough have been dealt with, 3 Elite Disruptor Towers appear. Destroy them, and the Aether-tech Adept appears. The disruptor towers launch AoEs at the NPCs and players; a large group (raid of 25) is recommended to clear this one, but it may be possible to get the gems with a smaller group, if you buy quickly and then wipe. It has been completed at level 70 with as little as 3 people (Rogue, Tank Druid and Holy Priest), however, this amount is not recommended.

Gem Color Bonus Cost
Inv misc gem ebondraenite 03 [Shifting Amethyst] Purple +8 Attack Power and +6 Stamina 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv misc gem opal 01 [Deadly Citrine] Orange +8 Attack Power and +4 Critical Rating 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv misc gem ebondraenite 03 [Timeless Amethyst] Green +4 Intellect and +6 Stamina 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv misc gem ebondraenite 03 [Purified Amethyst] Purple +9 Healing and +4 Spirit 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv jewelcrafting talasite 01 [Jagged Mossjewel] Orange +4 Stamina and +4 Spell Critical Strike Rating 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv misc gem opal 01 [Reckless Citrine] Orange +5 Spell Damage and +4 Intellect 40x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]

Stage 3[]

Stage 3 begins:

The Grand Collector yells: They called me down from K'aresh to deal with this band of misfits? Unbelievable! Prepare to be collected!

Fighting The Grand Collector:

The Grand Collector yells: Enough! I will take care of these fools myself!

Stage 3 complete:

Skyguard Aether-Tech yells: At last! The information we seek! Gather quickly, skyguard. We must soon return to headquarters with our findings!
Aether-tech Master yells: Its properties are amazing! Provide me with Apexis crystals, and I'll form weapons and armor within crystal geodes.

Event ending:

Skyguard Aether-Tech yells: Our studies are complete! Well fought! Headquarters will pour over our gained measurements and, with luck, uncover the Bash'ir's intentions. Now, to the skies!

The final wave of Bash'ir Reckoners and Bash'ir Controllers appears shortly after the siege towers have been destroyed and contains a powerful boss mob called The Grand Collector that splits into three at some point during the fight and has some very nasty AoE spells. The Aether-tech Master appears upon completion of the event. The Master sells Meta Gems, Geodes and Accelerator Modules:

Item Notes Cost
Inv misc gem diamond 06 [Imbued Unstable Diamond] UI-EmptySocket-Meta +14 Spell Damage and 5% Stun resistance 160x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv misc gem diamond 07 [Tense Unstable Diamond] UI-EmptySocket-Meta +24 Attack Power and 5% Stun resistance 160x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv battery 02 [Accelerator Module] Activates a Proton Accelerator at Bashi'rs Landing 35x Inv misc apexis shard [Apexis Shard]
Inv ore ethernium 01 [Large Copper Metamorphosis Geode] Hunter, Shaman 4x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore ethernium 01 [Large Gold Metamorphosis Geode] Priest, Mage, Warlock 4x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore ethernium 01 [Large Iron Metamorphosis Geode] Warrior Paladin 4x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore ethernium 01 [Large Silver Metamorphosis Geode] Rogue, Druid 4x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore khorium [Small Copper Metamorphosis Geode] Hunter, Shaman 3x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore khorium [Small Gold Metamorphosis Geode] Priest, Mage, Warlock 3x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore khorium [Small Iron Metamorphosis Geode] Warrior Paladin 3x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]
Inv ore khorium [Small Silver Metamorphosis Geode] Rogue, Druid 3x Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal]

The Metamorphosis Geodes can be "opened" like lockboxes and most likely contain a rare armor piece.

Accelerator Modules[]

These can be used on the small rods that stick up from the ground near the long tunnels of rings on Bash'ir Landing. These are rather buggy at the moment, so be sure that no mobs are in the tunnel, or about to enter the tunnel when you use the controls or the summoned boss could bug and despawn. Summoned harbingers drop an Inv misc apexis crystal [Apexis Crystal] and a couple of boe items, easily five-mannable. Watch out for their spell reflect though.
