Ellora Sanctuary is a home to the Light Elves who inhabit and protect it under the blessing of Daleroth, the World Tree. After the War of Light, the Light Elves made it their mission to guard the Demonic Stone under Ellora's command. The opposing forces, known as the Chaos Elves, raided Ellora Sanctuary to obtain the Demonic Stone. It is the Rider’s duty to recover it from their clutches.

Lair of Ma'art

Corruption of Light Update Patch Notes - March 8, 2017 08

Shrouded in waves of sand and dust lies the Lair of Ma’art. Conspirator with Ienos, and part of the God of Ruin’s elite squad. Ma’art rules her lair with an iron fist. In order to reinforce the Legion’s army, Ma’art’s been collecting familiars throughout Tritael Rift and Cloying Wastes.

Corruption of Light Update Patch Notes - March 8, 2017 09

Location:

  • Near Fortress of Sorrows in Cloying Wastes

Entry Requirements:

  • A Rider must be level 49 or higher to enter the Lair of Ma’art. This dungeon can only be completed solo.
  • The dungeon can be entered three times a day using the Lair Keystone. After completing the dungeon, there will be a 30-minute cooldown before re-entry. Re-entry Ellun cost is 1.

How to Enter the Lair of Ma’art:

  • Before venturing into the Lair, Riders must visit the NPC “Codont”, who is located near the entrance of the Lair of Ma’art.
  • Codont will provide the daily quest “Lair of Sand”. Riders will have to fulfill the quest by visiting the Temple of Sands, or Fortress of Sorrows.
  • Once you complete the daily quest, you will receive one Lair Keystone, which is used to enter the Lair of Ma’art. The Lair Keystone expires in 12 hours and must be used within that timeframe.

Ma’art’s Control Stone:

  • Riders will need to defeat Ma’art and obtain her control stone. This control stone is required to tame the familiars found in the second chamber. The stone is untradeable, and cannot be sold. There is a 30-minute duration set on the control stone, and must be used within that time. You may only carry one control stone at a time.

Taming Familiars:

  • Once in the second chamber, one aerial and one ground familiar will appear. You can only select one of them to tame.
  • The familiars that appear are randomly selected from a pre-determined list.
  • Use Ma’art’s Control Stone to attempt to tame one of the two familiars. There is a chance that you may fail to tame the familiar. The taming chance depends on the rank of the familiar, and the level difference between the Rider and the familiar.

Familiar List:

  • There are over 30 familiars that can be discovered within the Lair of Ma’art, giving Riders access to more mounts, pets and seals to power up their gear! The familiars that can be discovered and tamed in the Lair include (but are not limited to):
    • Deep within the Lair of Ma’art lies a low rumble of a Legendary Familiar that Riders may come across, if fortunate.

New Transcendence System:

The Corruption of Light update also introduces a new system called “Transcendence”. This system allows Riders to absorb identical gear and weapons to enhance and upgrade the stats of another.

How does it work?

  • Riders need to acquire an identical piece of gear or weapon, and a Modest or Austere Heroic Transcending Stone.
  • Upgrade levels on identical gear and weapons do not increase/decrease the bonus.
  • Modest and Austere Heroic Transcending Stones can be purchase from the NPC “Narain”, Armor Merchant in Ellora Sanctuary. Legendary Transcending Stones can also drop from legendary dungeon bosses.
  • Once you have an identical item and a Transcending Stone, right-click the Transcending Stone.

What does it do?

  • All primary stats on the selected gear are increased by 1 or 2 points per level.
  • The increase in stats is not random.
