The Violet Eye: Rings

Fires of Skettis
This bombing run quest, which starts from Sky Sergeant Doryn, involves destroying Monstrous Kaliri eggs with the provided Skyguard Blasting Charges. Fling bombs down at the clutches of eggs until you've destroyed the required number. Look for the platforms high up on the trees, as they have an abundance of eggs. Usually you can destroy multiple eggs with one bomb if you aim correctly. However, it's all not quite as simple as it sounds...



The key to completing this quest efficiently is avoiding the dreaded Monstrous Kaliri, who make a living of knocking players off their flying mounts and sending them plummeting. When one of these ornery birds spots and attacks you, their attacks have a chance of dismounting you if they attack from behind. To make matters worse, they can also hamstring you, impeding your ability to evade them. Strafing around them, so that your back is not exposed, is one way to shake them off. Changing your elevation rapidly, by climbing or diving, is another method.

Escape from Skettis
This escort quest starts from a captive Skyguard Prisoner, who can spawn from three possible cages in the treetop platforms of Skettis. You have to escort him safely from the platform, defending him from any arakkoa he wanders too close to as well as others that spawn in. The actual escort itself can be much easier than simply starting this quest in the first place...

Only one player can be doing this quest at a given time, so when there are many players attempting to do the quest the first one to find the Prisoner wins. Once you learn the location of all three platforms, you can fly between them until he reappears at one of the locations. It's possible, and a good idea, to do this quest in a group as the entire group gets credit for the rescue. In addition, like all escort quests you may encounter an additional obstacle on PvP realms - enemy players.
