Farming tips
-
Check the quest inventory rather than expecting normal material drops.
-
Watch your HP and MP consumption if you are farming alone.
-
If you are in a party, check how the server distributes quest items.
-
Custom servers may change the quest drop rate or add alternative farming zones.
Once you have all 50 ores, stop farming and return to Hilda.
Step 4: Exchange the ore for Vacualite
Speak with Blacksmith Hilda again in Goddard.
She will take the collected Vacualite Ore and prepareVacualite, the refined material requested by Klein.
Check your quest inventory to confirm that the new item has been received.
Step 5: Return to Klein and receive the Floating Stone
Travel back to Forge of the Gods and speak with Watcher of Valakas Klein.
Give him the Vacualite.

Step 6: Enter the Hall of Flames
When you are ready to enter, speak with Klein and select the appropriate entry dialogue.
The Floating Stone is consumed as part of the traditional Valakas entry process.
Remember that possessing the Floating Stone does not guarantee that the raid is currently available. Boss status, entry conditions and command-channel rules can affect your ability to enter.

In the standard access system, each player needs their own entry item.
Can I repeat the quest?
Many Interlude-based implementations treat it as repeatable so players can obtain another Floating Stone. Check the rules of your particular server.
What if Klein doesn't offer the quest?
Check your character's level, quest log, previous quest completion status and any custom server modifications.
