With newly forged
weapon in hand, head on back to Mineralogist Acadd, found on the
northern border of Infineum Plateaus and hail her.



She'll tell you now that you've learned to forge the weapons, you're style="font-style: italic;">almost ready to
deal with the cultists.  "Almost." What you've been doing up
until this point, I don't know, but at least you're style="font-style: italic;">almost ready to
deal with the cultists.



She'll remark that the weapon probably doesn't feel the same as a
normal weapon, and that you'll need to train to use it. Go seek out
Yoda to learn the power of the art. Did I say Yoda? Sorry, go seek out
Tahir Jahani, and he'll train you. He can be found at the Alter of the
Ages, which is located at the north east corner of the Infineum
Plateaus.



Before you head over there all willy-nilly you'll probably want to
gather up a group to go with you. The training won't be particularly
easy.

hspace="3">The Alter of the Ages is composed of
three gazebos and a platform. You'll find Tahir Jahani at the top of
the platform. Once your group is gathered and buffed, hail him. He'll
be a little rude to you to begin with, but it shouldn't be hard to
peeve him off enough to begin attacking you, thus training you in the
use of the weapon.



The thing about Tahir is that he doesn't exactly attack you himself
persé. He'll summon a past reflection of himself, and other
warriors to battle you. It's this whole time-shifting thing, and
although confusing in the story-line of things, it's still just a
matter of killing whatever attacks you.



First off, he'll send in three of his Guardians; Ali'toush,
Murfeh and Lokash. During the battle with these three, Tahir Jahani
will join in the fight as well, making four enemies to defeat. They're
all four dot level 25s, thus the reason a group is recommended.



After you've defeated that encounter, run down to the western gazebo,
where you'll see three horror of the Ages, along with another
reflection of Tahir Jahani. You'll need to kill the three Horrors in
order to get Tahir to attack. These will be four dot level 25s, with
Tahir himself being a four dot level 28. After the reflection is
destroyed, the real Tahir will come running down from the platform, and
you'll have to kill him again.



Once that encounter is complete, you'll need to run up to the
north-westerly gazebo and take out three Residues of the Ages before
you can attack another reflection of Tahir. This will be pretty much
the same as the last encounter, except it will be gooes that you're
attacking instead of golems.



Finally, you'll need to run up to the northern gazebo and take out
three Reflections of the Ages, and then the final reflection of Tahir.
These will all be four dot level 26s, and the same strategy. Kill the
three Reflections of the Ages, then the reflection of Tahir himself.
Then kill the real Tahir one final time and you'll complete the quest.

Confusing? Yeah, a bit, and it may take you some practice to get it
down as it's a lot of fighting. All in all it's a fun script, and once
you've completed it you can head back to Mineralogist Acadd, who will
reward you with the Time Weave, which is a chant that Acadd transcribed
from the recipe book you gave her earlier. If you right click the Time
Weave, your weapon will increase in power, and who can complain with
that?



Congratulations! You've now completed the upgraded weapon and it's time
to go get some armor!
