Clearing Mythic earlier in the reset for an alchemy recipe, meant I couldn't loot the Eon Winder when I returned.

Comment by Wundemar

Eon Winder dropped by Advisor Vandros.

please note this quest can only be done on regular Mythic, NOT any M+.

Comment by UnknownBeef

Is this tied to one of the Suramar questlines? I couldn't find it in the Suramar guide.

This quest plus 2 others follow the 30 Corrupted Essences quest in Emerald Nightmare. The other two require you to get item in Court of Stars and Vault of the Wardens.

Introduction
This quest is part of a comment-size guide for "Balance of Power." questline. Quests are pretty much self-explanatory and all it takes is some time and good will to complete them. Completing this questline rewards Artifact Appearance (Appearance 3, Tint 1).

Part 1
Image of Kalec appears in your Order Hall and gives you the following quest:
The Power Within (Meet Archmage Kalec at Azurewing Repose in Azsuna.)
Reasons behind appearance of Archmage Kalec in your Class Order Hall are not yet completely understood but most people noticed him few days after they completed their Class Campaign.

Part 2
From there you take a next quest from Senegos:
The Heart of Zin-Azshari (Retrieve the Heart of Zin-Azshari and defeat the Wrath of Azshara in the Eye of Azshara on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 3
After completing the previous quests you receive a few new quests (exactly 3: two from Senegos and one from Archmage Kalec).
Senegos:
A Vainglorious Past (Obtain a Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon.)
- You can purchase Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon in Crumbled Palace in Azsuna for 150g (Requirement: Court of Farondis - Honored).

Fallen Power (Recover a Corrupted Essence from Oakheart and defeat the Shade of Xavius in Darkheart Thicket on Mythic difficulty.)

Archmage Kalec:
Tempering Darkness (Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.)
Should not be a problem since by the time you get that quest and if you did not spend any Blood of Sargeras you should have some stacked up simply by completing Dungeons and World Quests.

Part 4
Archmage Kalec:
Lucid Strength (Absorb the power from the Corrupted Essence using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 5
Senegos:
The Wisdom of Patience (Await the opening of The Emerald Nightmare, then report back to Senegos in Azsuna.)

Part 6
Archmage Kalec:
In Nightmares (Obtain a Deathglare Iris and the Horn of the Nightmare Lord from The Emerald Nightmare.) NOTE: NOT doable with LFR. It has to be Normal difficulty or higher. In order to complete this quest you need to kill 2 bosses: Il'gynoth and Xavius and loot mentioned quest items.

Senegos:
Essence of Power (Collect 30 Corrupted Essence from The Emerald Nightmare.) This quest gave me a weird WoD and Khadgar flashback. NOT doable with LFR. Only Normal or higher difficulty. Essences ~~do not~~ have a 100% drop rate and bosses can drop 1-2 3 Corrupted Essences at the time.

Part 7
Senegos:
Essential Consumption (Absorb the combined power of the Corrupted Essences using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 8
Archmage Kalec:
Repaid Debt (Meet Archmage Kalec in the Shal'Aran in Suramar.)

Part 9
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Lost Knowledge (Obtain the Scroll of Elun'dris from First Arcanist Thalyssra.)
- Costs 120g. Requirement: The Nightfallen - Revered).

Part 10
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Borrowing Without Asking (Recover a Containment Crystal from the Vault of the Wardens on Mythic difficulty.)

Syrana Starweaver:
Rite of the Captain (Take Advisor Vandros' Eon Winder from The Arcway on Mythic difficulty.)

Lothrius Mooncaller:
Literary Perfection (Find Lothrius' first edition copy of "Wards, Sigils, and the Nightborne Way" in the Court of Stars on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 11
Syrana Starweaver:
Twisted Power (Use a Greater Portal Stone to summon Vizuul the Twisted at the Altar of End Times in Faronaar and collect his runebindings.)

Part 12
Syrana Starweaver:
A True Test (Absorb the power from the Twisted Runebindings using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 13
Archmage Kalec:
Seeking the Valkyra (Seek out Ashildir at the Vault of Eyir in Stormheim.)

Part 14
Ashildir:
The Mark (Prove your worth to the Valarjar, then receive the Mark of the Valkyra from Eyir.)

Part 15
Ashildir:
Retrieving the Svalnguard (Retrieve the Svalnguard and defeat Helya in the Maw of Souls on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 16
Ashildir:
A Feast Fit for Odyn (Acquire flank meat from Thunderhoof in Stormheim, Spinesever's spine in Highmountain, and a steak from Leytusk in Azsuna.)

Presentation is Key (Retrieve 4 Adamantium Casing Scraps and defeat Dargrul the Underking in Neltharion's Lair on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 17
Ashildir:
Odyn's Blessing (Obtain Odyn's blessing in the Halls of Valor on ~~Heroic or~~ Mythic difficulty.)
- Use Grand Feast of Valhallas when you enter the dungeon - at the start. You can enter the dungeon alone, put the feast down, get out and then get a group to defeat Odyn and get his blessing. After you defeat him wait for him to finish his speech (RP) and then you can collect his blessing on the loot chest.

Part 18
Archmage Kalec:
Planning the Assault (Await the opening of the Nighthold, then meet Archmage Kalec in Shal'Aran.)

Part 19
Archmage Kalec:
Into the Nighthold (Collect 20 Nightshards from the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)
- Try and complete this quest without killing Gul'dan because if you kill him before acquiring The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20 he won't drop quest item for you this week and you'll need to wait for a next reset to complete The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20.

Thalrenus Rivertree:
The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur (Collect the core of Trilliax and Grand Magistrix Elisande's Millennia Tome in the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 20
Archmage Kalec:
The Nighthold: Darkness Calls (Bring one Gul'dan's eyes to Archmage Kalec on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 21
Archmage Kalec:
Balance of Power (Absorb the combined power of the Nightshards and the Eye of Gul'dan using the Heart of Zin-Azshari at the Lunar Crucible.)

Congratulations on completing this questline and acquiring new Artifact Appearance. Enjoy!
Foxies, out.

Comment by vvajay

can someone tell me why I can't get into the arcway dungeon? I have the quest (the arcway: rite of the captain) but can't enter....

Comment by tale

"Only a captain of the Guard may receive the power of our order - our ancient laws forbid otherwise." Our laws totally don't say anything about killing people to take their stuff though, so have at it!

Comment by rezzax

As of 7.2 you still can't get the quest item if you did arcway before picking up the quest. I find this really bad designed. :|

Comment by Lennytexas

thank you vcreation, up voted for this. did it on mythic+ for the quest and no luck. thx again

Comment by FaeDyne

but I believe there another way you may prove yourself.

Seems they missed a word and never fixed it. "there IS another way"?

Comment by Iskenator76

Please note that you have to do this on mythic. It will not drop on heroic like I learned the hard way. Don't make my mistake.

Comment by Yordles

As of 9.0.2 this is still impossible to do after being saved to mythic difficulty, I'd assume the same for all of the other dungeon quests from this chain. Great design :)

Comment by wolframwow

The quests Court of Stars: Literary Perfection ,The Arcway: Rite of the Captain (this one), Vault of the Wardens: Borrowing Without Asking are parallel (all 3 can be started simultaneously).

Comment by Heroicveni

So u cannot loot the Eon Winder if you are saved to the mythic instance (I wasn't aware I will need to run this dungeon on mythic so I did the dungeon WQ before it for rep..)

U can however make an LFG group and reset instance to have bosses re-spawn however u still cannot loot any boss including the last boss sadly

The Arcway: Rite of the Captain

Take Advisor Vandros' Eon Winder from The Arcway on Mythic difficulty.

	Eon Winder (1)
	Defeat Advisor Vandros (1)
	Suggested players: 5 (1)

Description

Only a captain of the Guard may receive the power of our order - our ancient laws forbid otherwise.

You must complete the rite of the captain.

Traditionally, aspirants patrol the Arcway for three weeks without rest, the vast labyrinth putting their skills as a Guard to the test. Our laws must still be honored, but I believe there another way you may prove yourself.

Elisandre's advisor, Vandros, has recently descended into the Arcway's depths. Kill him, and take his Eon Winder.
