Focus of Primal Elements
Once you get your Staff of Elemental Essence, you can start Epic 2.0, which is intented for high-end raiding guilds. Minimum level for Epic 2.0 is most likely 70, but as of now it's at least 69, the level you need to zone into Riftseekers.

It starts with Iilivina, in Dranik's Scar at -570, -260.

You say, 'Hail, Iilivina'

Iilivina says 'The magic here is quite unique. I am thrilled I've had the opportunity to study it.'

Hand Iilivina your Staff of Elemental Essence. She'll hand it back, and continue:

Iilivina says 'My goodness, I did not realize you were the one [Bantil] sent to me! This is truly amazing! I was shocked when Magi'Kot's dream had been realized. I never thought it would be surpassed. My, so much focused elemental energy. This is truly amazing. You have accomplished quite a feat.'

You say, 'Bantil?'

Iilivina says 'Yes, Bantil told me you would be coming. Perhaps we can help each other. There are two tribes of elemental beings here. They have an unprecedented ability to channel elemental energy. I have yet to see one with my own eyes, but they may just contain [power] that will help you unleash the staff's true power.'

You say, 'What power?'

Iilivina says 'They use the elements in a way we have yet to understand. I suspect something in their essence that allows them to tap into the elements in a different manner than we understand. If my suspicions are true, these creatures should leave behind a small portion of their essence, when their spirits leave their bodies. If you find anything like that, bring it to me. They may be rather small, so bring me two from each type for good measure.'

Go to Riftseekers' Sanctum. You will need two each of Pyrilen and Gelidran Essences. Any Pyrilen and Gelidran mobs in the zone drop them.

Return to Iilivina with these items.

Iilivina grinds the small crystals into a fine powder, 'This is like nothing I have ever seen. It will take some time for me to analyze this, but thank you. I have more here than I will need. Take this pouch to Bantil, along with this note. If he doesn't know how this will help you, he may know someone who does.'

Receive Pouch of Powdered Riftseeker Essence and Note from Iilivina.

Find Bantil Io`Tuv in the Plane of Knowledge (location?) and hand him the note and pouch.

Bantil Io`Tuv unrolls the note and reads it to himself, 'Interesting. Well, I'm not sure I can do anything with this, but if you take this to Transon in Twilight sea, he may be able to understand it a little better.'

Recieve Small Pouch of Riftseeker Essence. Take this to Vornol Transon in the Twilight Sea.

Vornol Transon furrows his brow for a little bit as he mixes the powder in a small flask. 'This is most intriguing. There is nothing here that represents elemental magic as we understand it. These beings seem to use different means to channel their power. Let's see. . . Chaos represents fire, Order corresponds to Water, Air is channeled by Spirit, and. . . hmmm. . . Yes! There it is! Earth ties with Body. There you are, Chaos, Order, Spirit, and Body, those are the primal elements, and I suspect they are the key to unlocking the full potential of your new staff there. Which is quite nice if I do say so myself. If you find essences of the Primal elements you may want to speak with Bantil again. He should have some insight on how to complete your journey. Iilivina has been in Discord long enough, she may have some insight as to where these essences can be located.

Return to Iilivina in Dranik's Scar and hail her.

Iilivina says, 'Hello again. So, you are looking for the Primal Elemental essences? That has a nice ring to it Transon has always had a penchant for the dramatic. I do not believe that you will find these beings in Discord however, if they exist at all. I do believe that your staff will resonate when you approach the creatures, so travel the world you know. Elementals tend to gravitate to areas that reflect their element best, I don't see why the [Primals] would behave any differently.'

You say, 'What primals?'

Iilivina says, 'Were I to venture a guess, I'd say look for Chaos near the ruins of a fallen empire, as order would tend to oppose chaos, I would look for the Order elemental near the ranks of a well regimented army, probably an ancient army, it is a creature of prestige. The Spirit elemental would find someplace where death and decay have a strong foothold. The Body Elemental may be the most elusive, as there is life everywhere. I would assume that its strong ties with this realm would pull it to a place where there are Muramites. When you find them, bring their remains to me and I'll see what else needs to be done.'

Take a few groups to the southern section of Ferubi. Take the path you would use to get to Packmaster Skoziat, but instead of heading to him, go west to the square feeding room. The Body Elemental will spawn once you get into a certain range. It hits for ~1000, flurries, and casts the spells Visions of Pain (a rather ugly DoT) and Chaos Affliction. Kill it, and loot the Element of Body off its corpse.

Take a raid to the spires in the Dreadlands, where the Chaos Elemental will spawn. It hits for ~2800 and procs the charm spell Chaos Epidemic. It also AEs Chaos Affliction. Kill it and loot the Element of Chaos. A chest spawns following its death.

Take a few groups to the northwestern-most room of Carprin's area in the Crypt of Decay. Here, the Spirit Elemental will spawn. It hits for about 1000 and procs the spell Spiritual Possession, a single-target charm. Kill it and loot the Element of Spirit.

Take a raid to the southwestern-most corner of the Halls of Honor (-2000, -1000), where the Order Elemental will spawn. It hits for ~3000, flurries, rampages, and casts the spell Cursed Keeper's Drain. Kill it and loot the Element of Order.

Return to Iilivina in Dranik's Scar and turn in the four elements.

Iilivina says, 'You work so fast! Amazing work you have done.' She looks at the 4 essences for a moment, 'Yes, these can probably be used to bind to your staff, but we'll need some sort of binding. Something that can be used to keep large amounts of energy bound together. I have no idea where you'd find such a thing, but if you do bring it to Bantil with your staff, and he'll be able to finish your journey.'

The 'something' she speaks of is a globe of discordant energy from the Asylum of Anguish.

Bring the globe and Staff of Elemental Essence to Bantil Io`Tuv in the Plane of Knowledge to receive your epic 2.0: Focus of Primal Elements. You also receive 10 AAs

Couple mob fight break downs
Chaos Elemental (Level 75) – Dreadlands
(Six - Eight Groups)

Spawns on the northeastern spire of the city, within sight of wizard or druid spires.

MELEE:

Quad 2700's.

This will require a full raid force, at least 40. First off, I must point out two spells he uses before I go any farther.

Chaos Affliction

Description
1: Decrease Spell Haste by 50%
2: Limit: Min Casting Time(10.00 sec)
3: Decrease ATK by 200
4: Decrease Hitpoints by 200 per tick
5: Increase Curse Counter by 16
6: Limit: Combat Skills Not Allowed

Resist: Prismatic (-350)

Chaos Epidemic

Description:
1: Charm up to level 0
2: Increase Curse Counter by 18

Resist:Magic (-900)


The best way to start this is to kite him and fully debuff him – He is unsnarable, but moves very slow. The other night i was outrunning him by a good distance with just Run 3, nothing more. Cripple is especially important as it will lessen the amount of times he procs the charm when wailing on people. He doesnt start summoning till 96% hp.

This charm has a successive proc on it – Meaning, your main tank will get charmed, and he will turn around and charm whomever he hits, and they charm who they hit, and so forth. The number of people charmed grows faster and faster as the time goes on, and it procs quickly.

The secret to this fight, and best catch for winning, is that the charm only procs on a successful hit. When you get ready to kite him towards the raid and engage, the tank should immediately click a riposte disc to hold agro, and not get charmed. It will keep the elemental busy, and not charming people, for the duration of the disc. As agro switches, anytime someone gets hit they pop riposte as well.

With increased cast duration, healers will have to work out a method to keep the tank up, possibly with fast heals, or just RGC and get it removed (I dont know that much about cleric things =) )

Then, i suggest going an all out DPS/Disc fight, extreme DPS to burn him down. His hp isnt that high, The dps of the raids that attempt it just slow amazingly as more and more get charmed.

At the end, he dies.

He drops the epic piece Element of Chaos, and a 2.0 chest will spawn.


Order Elemental (Level 75) – Halls of Honor
( 4 Groups )

This elemental is directly south of the Halls of Honor B zone in - In the building with some undead. You'll probably need to clear from the first room down, so about 10 mobs is all in the way. Basic setup is buff up the raid, save an MGB clarity for engage.

He has approximately 500k Hit points (I know Allas says different, its wrong =) ), hits for 2700, average hit is 960, AE rampages. Pretty low attack.

The only problem is one AE

Justice
Description:

1: Reverse Damage Shield(-10)
3: Decrease HP when cast by 800
4: Hitpoints unknown calc: 122 range: 1 -> 0

The AE cancels out C7 every ten minutes, so you just have an enchanter MGB Clarity 6 seconds after it goes off (The duration)

On a side note, It has a High MR (full debuffs to get MR check slows on; DR slows work fine).

The rest is just a dps fight, and shouldnt last more than a couple minutes depending on the groups - Rampage goes off fairly slow, so its not a huge issue. Burn it down and loot up.
