3. 🎁 Creating the Gift of the Elders: Bloodstone Shard, Gift of Research, Glory, and More
- ✅ The Gift of Tides is obtained by completing the story step 'Path of Divinity' in Visions of Eternity for the first time. Additional ones can be purchased from heart vendors.
- ✅ A Bloodstone Shard is needed, purchased from the Mystic Forge merchants for spirit shards.
- ✅ The Gift of Research is purchased with 250 thermocatalytic reagents, 500 hydrocatalytic reagents, and 250 exotic luck.
- ✅ The Gift of Glory is sold by the Mystic Forge merchants in exchange for fragments of glory, which can be purchased at the trading post or earned in PvP.
- ✅ The Gift of Battle is earned on the Gift of Battle reward track in World vs World.
- ✅ The Gift of War is sold by the Mystic Forge merchants in exchange for 250 memories of battle, earned in World vs World or purchased at the trading post.
- ✅ A stabilized dark energy cube is needed, created by any crafting profession or by the vendors Lear or Luceray (the latter charge more).
- ✅ 75 stabilizing matrices (from fractals or purchased) and a dark energy ball (from salvaging ascended gear) are needed.
Combine the stabilized dark energy cube with the Gift of War, Battle, and Glory to create a Gift of the Mists in the Mystic Forge.

4. 💎 Obtaining the Gift of Insight: Mystic Clovers, Amalgamated Draconic Lodestones, and Gifts of Power and Magic
- ✅ 100 Mystic Clovers are needed (from the Wizard's Vault, Fractals, Raids, etc.).
- ✅ 55 Amalgamated Draconic Lodestones are needed, which drop randomly from Dragonstorm and Drakkar, or can be crafted or purchased.
- ✅ Four Gifts of Condensed Power and four Gifts of Condensed Magic are needed.
- ✅ Gifts of Condensed Power are made by combining Gifts of Fangs, Scales, Claws, and Bones in the Mystic Forge.
- ✅ Gifts of Condensed Magic are made by combining Gifts of Blood, Venom, Totems, and Dust in the Mystic Forge.
- ✅ Individual gifts can be made by artificers, hunters, or armorers, or by Lear or Lucer at a higher cost.
Do not combine the materials in the Mystic Forge, as you would get an incorrect Draconic Tribute Gift. Take the Mystic Clovers, Amalgamated Draconic Lodestones, and Gifts of Power and Magic to Magister in the Star Field to purchase the Gift of Insight.
