When you reach level 65 the first portal of the Prophecy of Ahnket zones will automatically unlock for you.
You can go straight there and start questing, or you can pick up the breadcrumb quest from Tempest Bay first. Find General Batua in Tempest Bay near the Cometary Porticulum and pick up the quest that leads you in to the Prophecy of Ahnket zones. You can find this quest explained on the Scatherran Forest quests page.
Notes About Questing in PoA
Missing Quest NPCs
Many of the quest NPCs will only show up for you when you are on a certain quest. A lot of the time, you will pick up a quest from a NPC in one area and then hand it in to the same NPC but in a different area. Only one of these NPCs will be visible to you at the same time. This can occasionally cause conflict when you have multiple quests in your quest log. Many players encounter this during the The Shadow Market quest, with Tasuil in Feilbocan not showing up for them. You will need to complete or abandon the conflicting quest before the NPC will show for you.
Companion NPCs
For the majority of the quests in the PoA zones you will have at least one companion NPC following you around. For some players this can be very annoying! In your buff bar there will be a ‘buff’ that adds these companions to you. You can right click this buff to remove it and the companions will disappear. Usually the companion buff will be added to you again when you next hand in or take a quest, so this will need to be repeated!
Yay I found a Rare!
Don’t be celebrating too early.. the rares in PoA are all level 70 elites, even in the lower zones! It’s best to not touch them while you are levelling, you can come back when you are big n strong to kill them all! Use the PoA rare guides to find them.
Where is the XP?
The zone quests in PoA are not enough XP to level from 65-70. You can solve this issue with a variety of tactics.
- Use an XP vial! — The two free XP vials you got from your Ascended Cache should be used during the 65-70 journey.
- Complete Dailies and Weeklies while you are levelling. — Pick up all the weeklies from Alittu and try to get them done each week. Complete the Dailies from the PoA zones you have finished.
- Spend time in Celestial Instant Adventures. — Try to complete your 14 ‘extra XP’ IA each day, make sure you complete the IA weekly.
- Do some PVP — Queue up during peak times from level 65 onwards, the XP is not amazing, but it does add some variety to the grind.
- Pay for Patron — A patron sub will increase XP from all sources by 40%. This is much more value for money than buying XP pots.
Planar Fragment Quests
This series of quests takes place in Alittu and is designed to take you through the basics of Planar Fragments.
Planar Fragments are dropped from pretty much all of the 65-70 content.
Click here to go to the Ghar Stations very awesome Planar Fragment guide.
As you level through the content you will find loot many fragments. You should fill up your slots as soon as you can but don’t upgrade any of the fragments! When you start getting much nicer starting Fragments from dungeons and then raids, it is those that you should spend effort to upgrade.
Note: These quests do not count towards any of the zone quest cheevos.

I highly recommend reading the Ghar Station guide to Planar Fragments when you want a more in depth explanation.
You can also find information on the Cadrift Level 70 Gear Guide.
Remember: Do NOT waste platinum, planarite or cores by upgrading low level Frags. Wait til you are getting at least LFR raid drops before you start upgrading! Read the guide carefully so you know which Frags are good to upgrade.
