Shifting Sky Quest Chain

The Shifting Sky Quest Chain is a series of quests that take place in the Primal World. It is a part of the Primal Quest Chain, and based around the Shifting Sky boundary.

Players can begin this quest chain once they have reawakened twice, reached level 100, and have reached Astral Sky 10. Upon reaching Astral Sky 10 the player will be able to begin the pre-Shifting Sky quests, starting with Not-So-Silent Sea available at the Image of Althea in Kirin Town (373, 465). After completing a portion of these quests you will not receive any more until you reach Shifting Sky 1, requiring you to break your Boundary.

Once the player reaches Astral Sky 10 with a full vitae bar they will receive a popup quest named To Shifting Sky when entering the Primal World. Talking to Shifting Sky Envoy Yara in Kirin Town (376, 463) will unlock the Shifting Sky Boundary.

The quest chain is offered in parts that can only be done as the player levels up their boundary. The Shifting Sky quest chain finishes at Shifting Sky 9 instead of Shifting Sky 10.

Tips

 * While this quest chain does offer better vitae rewards, you may want to save your Ancient Gifts until higher boundary quests (Twilight Sky and Royal Sky) if you do not have many.
 * Most of these quests take place underwater. Initially your character will swim slowly. During the quest chain you will receive 2 Gift of the Riptide skill books which allow you to swim up to 200% faster in the Primal World when learned.
 * Tideborns can use their Tide Form skill to swim faster underwater.
 * Pick up all quests in the same area that are available to save time when out killing monsters.
 * The player will receive quest items in their regular inventory instead of their quest inventory. Avoid discarding or selling these items.
 * If the player somehow loses certain quest items they may have to trash their quest and start it again.
 * Quests can be found in the quest log under the Find Quest tab. Their name will be pink in color.
 * There is one Legend Quest during this quest chain named Haunted Woods, available at Shifting Sky 2. It will be found in the quest log under the Legend Quests section and is red in color.
