Opticording Sphere Quest/Spoiler

Required Equipment

 * Rope
 * Shovel
 * Access to Gnomebase Alpha (rank 2 of Bigfoot's Burden Quest)
 * At least stage 2 of the Deeplings World Change opened on your server

Method
Go to northern Ab'Dendriel, south of the fruit store, here, open the hole with a shovel and go down.

To the west is a walled chamber with no visible entrance. To open it, use the northern torch bearer (light it) and then use the southern torch bearer.

Note: the door may close while you are inside. To open from the inside, use the southern torch bearer again.

You will see a collection of books and crates. Use the Crate (Heavy) (on the bottom of a stack of crates) to find an Opticording Sphere.

You now must go all around Tibia and find strange symbols engraved in certain places. Once found, use the Opticording Sphere at the spot. The engravings must be decoded using binary to ASCII text conversion in order to reveal their true message. The following is all the data you will need:


 * Venore - Zathroth
 * Walk to here (approx), use sphere (strange symbols are on the roof of the Prison and Garrison).
 * Walk to here (approx), use sphere (strange symbols are on the roof of Paupers Palace).
 * Walk to here (approx), use sphere (strange symbols are on the roof of Crunor's Finest Warehouse).


 * Gnomebase - Ferumbras
 * Go to the Mushroom Farms, walk here and use the sphere (strange symbols are on the rock).


 * Gray Island - Qjell
 * Go to the main Fiehonja library (Stage 2 of the Deeplings World Change required), walk here (approx), use sphere (Deepling ornament is on the floor).


 * Ab'Dendriel - Garsharak
 * Go to the temple (here), use sphere (symbols are probably on the Strangely Shaped Menhir).


 * Ankrahmun - Zoralurk
 * Go to Horestis Tomb, first floor underground, walk here and use sphere (hieroglyphs are on the walls and pillars).

Now that you have all 5 visions, you can begin with the NPC dialog. Go back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge. To open the path to the NPC, light both the northern torches and use the skull to the west.

Say to the NPC (the order may differ depending on the order in which you acquired visions):
 * hi - Zoralurk
 * hi - Ferumbras
 * hi - Garsharak
 * hi - Zathroth
 * hi - QJ-((

You will now be asked the meaning of the five walls of testimony. Leave the room (light the torches and use the torch west of the chest if you get trapped) and travel to the Dwarf Mines in the surface west of Kazordoon. Go down into the southern mine entrance, here, then follow the path to the right and go down the hole, as if you were going to the Sunken Mines. Walk south into the flooded tunnels, then continue east until you find another room with a blocked entrance.

In order to enter the room, you must walk the tiles in a specific order. Walk diagonally by using the keypad or dragging your character.



Note: If the door closes while you are inside, use the torch bearer south of the Chalk Board to open it again.

Inside the room you will find Opticorder Forge (NPC) and a Strangely Shaped Block to the east. Again, to obtain the keywords, it was necessary to convert binary symbols visible on the two walls of the block to ASCII text.

Say to the NPC:

hi - isolated cradle

Then use the Opticorder Forge object.

You may then travel back to the Ab'Dendriel Forge and tell the keyword marionettes to Mysterious Ornate Chest (NPC). Doing this will unlock the chest and allow you to use it. Note: You might have to use the chest first for it to sync properly before speaking to the NPC. You will receive a Mysterious Metal Egg. From Tibia's 19th birthday (7 January 2016) onwards this egg can be opened to reveal an Opticompass Sphere and a Rolled-up Parchment. If you use the Opticompass Sphere you will receive the message The needle spins inside the compass.

Now you have to travel to Krailos, where using the sphere will lead you east from town, to a place with dragon bones. Using a pick on the square above the place indicated by the sphere will send you into a small cave. The northwest area contains a color puzzle and a corridor behind a stone door. If you remove all light-emitting objects on your character you will see the tiles change colours (Blue - Red - Yellow) as you step on them. Also, in the minimap you will see a certain black dots and lines in a hallway, which is, again, binary code.

The binary code from the paper in the egg is: 0000011111011100 = 2012 in decimal.

The binary code from the minimap in the cave is: 00001011 and 00001111 = 11 and 15 in decimal.

Based on this, we have a date: 15/11/12.

Check the Tibia news archive for this date and you should find a concerned with the latest revamp of Venore. Open the first animated gif image you come across and you should notice a flashing frame that is very hard to see. Once you manage to freeze that frame, it will show a 5x5 color pattern made with blue, red, and yellow flowers. This is the answer to the color puzzle. The easiest way is to start at the south and then work to the north. Remember that the tiles have a timer and will be switched into default tiles after waiting for too long, so you got to hurry a bit. When you complete the puzzle will you get teleported into the room. If you want to enter the room again after exiting, you don't have to do the entire puzzle again: just use the Stone Wall (Draft) that is adjacent to the hallway.



Once inside you will find an Opticording Analyser. There is no indication about how to make it work. The community does not know how to proceed from here.
