Balaur Engineering is an Asmodian quest in AION Classic 5.0. It rewards 3,139,200 experience and [Event] Stigma Shard ×100.

Story

The offer

For all their savagery, the Balaur are such fascinating creatures.

Their technology--Drana, the Dredgion, the rift they opened in Dark Poeta...it's simply astounding! The Balaur might appear crude, but their aptitude for technology rivals that of even the shrewdest Shugo tinkerers.

To have any hope of defeating the Balaur, we need to know more about them. Don't you agree, Daeva?

  • "Knowing your enemy is important."

Yes! Knowing is half the battle, I always say. I just wish my little brother Itar was more concerned with knowledge. Our family has produced a dozen renowned scholars, but sometimes I think he just doesn't have it in him.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. While I was out in the field protecting naive little Itar from the fierce beasts of Balaurea, I noticed an abandoned Drana Growing Device in the Dragonrest.

I'd love to get my hands on it.

  • "Why don't you?"

It's too dangerous to take Itar there with me, and I couldn't leave him here alone. Perhaps you could fetching it for me, Daeva?

Bring it back here, and I might be able to learn how the Balaur operate it. Then we Asmodians will be able to use it!

If this works, I'll gain renown from Lady Lumiel, and bring glory to our entire family! I fear I'm our only hope.... Poor Itar just lacks the conviction of a true scholar.

Well, what do you think? Will you help me?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

Excellent! Head to the Dragonrest and locate the Abandoned Drana Growing Device. The device itself is too big to move, but its power generator should be a superb specimen.

Well, what are you waiting for? Get going!

  • "Going, going, gone!"

Journal

Detach the power generator from a Drana Growing Device abandoned in the Dragonrest and bring it to Tanar.

Along the way

Bah! I can't make heads or tails of this Balaur technology! There are bits of it I understand, but none of it is clear. If only I could somehow become one of the Balaur...

Kidding, of course, Daeva, I would never want to become one of those monsters...probably.

Well, did you find the power generator?

  • "Here it is."

What's this? You don't have it, Daeva!

I thought you had already been to the Dragonrest?

How dare you try to trick me! If this is some kind of joke, I am not amused!

  • "Well, I thought it was funny."

Reward

This is the power generator? It's far more damaged than I had anticipated.... But I swear on Azphel's name, I won't leave Gelkmaros until I make a discovery worthy of our family!

Yes, all shall know the name of Tanar! Well, and his little brother Itar, who made many discoveries but always lived in the shadow of true greatness.

We always repay our debts in my family, so please take this, Daeva.

Completion

While traveling near the Dragonrest, Tanar spotted an abandoned Drana Growing Device, and wanted to use its power generator for research.

You helped Tanar by finding the same Drana Growing Device and getting its power generator, but he seemed disappointed to discover it more damaged than he expected.
