If you are looking for a “how to use” guide it’s not here, this is for obtaining it. I’m going to link this document which is pretty cool and has some explanations on how to use it. Made by Darkness2544 (Pizza Melt Ambassador).
There are quite a few prerequisites for questing, most being reputation requirements. It is a good idea to farm these reputations out beforehand. There is also a level requirement of being atleast level 80 to obtain the class. While not explicitly stated for any quest, it is VERY recommended you get the Blinding Light of Destiny, specifically the Blinding mace weapon due to the fact you are required to farm Blinding Aura’s. If you haven’t already check out our Blinding Light of Destiny guide.
Reputation requirements:
- Rank 10 Good
- Rank 10 Evil

- Rank 10 Embersea
