Plane of Innovation

Plane of Innovation Guide

Plane of Innovation is the step after Plane of Nightmare B. This zone is a custom machine-event crawl built around Plane of Innovation essence, Researcher Kaeon's endurance test, Manaetic prototype hazards, the Manaetic Behemoth loop, Nitram Anizok's Xanamech heart quest, and the Chapter 3 reflected mirror path.

Progression Overview

1. Kill valid trash to gather Plane of Innovation essence.
2. At 1,000 essence, a hostile essence chest spawns at the credited player and the essence count resets.
3. Speak with Researcher Kaeon to begin endurance testing.
4. Clear the endurance waves and watch for glitched manaetic adds.
5. Kill the Manaetic prototypes, greasy clockwork, Junk Beast, and Manaetic Behemoth for Xanamech heart components.
6. Combine the seven corrupted machine components in a Tier Upgrade Kit to create Reforged Heart of Xanamech.
7. Hand the heart to Nitram Anizok, then say READY to wake Xanamech.
8. Kill Xanamech Nezmirthafen and hail the Planar Projection for Plane of Justice access.

Plane Of Innovation Essence

Most normal trash kills in Plane of Innovation grant one essence credit. Bosses and special event NPCs do not count.

• 1 valid trash kill = 1 Innovation essence.
• Same-IP group or raid members can receive shared credit.
• At 1,000 / 1,000, the script spawns a hostile essence chest at the player and resets the counter.

Essence Chest Loot

The Innovation essence chest can reward:

Item	Chance / Notes
Elemental Essence	100%
Twilight Reliquary	100%
Shard of Corrupted Innovation	50%
Face of Mechanical Force	25%
Face of Mechanical Impact	25%
Face of Mechanical Rage	25%
Face of Mechanical Remedy	25%
Innovations Justice Belt of Casting, Innovations Justice Belt of Healing, Innovations Justice Belt of Attack, Innovations Justice Belt of Hardiness	25% each
Planar Shoulder of Casting, Planar Shoulder of Healing, Planar Shoulders of Combat, Planar Shoulders of Fortitude	15% each

Researcher Kaeon And Endurance Testing

Researcher Kaeon starts the endurance-testing event. Hail him, agree with I will comply, then say ready to be moved into the testing bay inside your current instance.

The event spawns an endurance controller and begins sending manaetic contraptions, devices, and gadgets around the room. Every killed test add signals the controller. The event escalates in blocks of eight kills, spawning more packs as the counter rises. At the mid-point and at the end, Assistant Kelrig appears to offer either a continuation or a safe exit.

Assistant Kelrig is the reset/exit NPC for the testing loop:

• Say continue to restart the endurance trigger.
• Say quit to leave the testing bay safely.

Glitched Manaetic Adds

Manaetic contraptions, devices, and gadgets have a chance to glitch when they spawn.

When one glitches:

• It flickers between its normal model and a corrupted Nyseria-guard style appearance.
• It always carries Shadowed Coven Poppet.
• It has an additional chance to carry Coven-Link Neural Shard.

The Coven-Link Neural Shard is one of the seven components needed for Reforged Heart of Xanamech, so do not ignore glitched endurance adds.

Normal endurance adds can also drop the mechanical face pool and Shard of Warped Logic.

Manaetic Prototypes

The three Manaetic prototypes are teleport hazards. While in combat, each periodically banishes its top-hate player to a fixed location inside the same instance. The timer rolls roughly every 15 to 30 seconds, so tanks and healers can get scattered if the fight drags on.

Prototype	Progression Drop	Other Notable Drops
Manaetic Prototype IX	Null-Coded Conductor	Shard of Chaotic Function, mechanical faces, planar shoulders
Manaetic Prototype X	Screaming Resonance Coil	Shard of Shattered Ingenuity, mechanical faces, planar shoulders
Manaetic Prototype XI	Seared Gear Assembly	Shard of Unstable Sequence, mechanical faces, planar shoulders

Treat these as control fights. If the raid is getting split across the room, stop chasing damage and recover positioning.

Greasy Clockwork And Junk Beast

A greasy clockwork is a custom scaled named that can drop Twisted Servo Array, mechanical faces, planar shoulders, and Shard of Errant Motion.

On death, it has a chance to shake the ground and spawn Junk Beast.

Junk Beast is important because it drops Fractured Power Lattice, another required Xanamech-heart component. It can also drop Shard of Misfired Creation, mechanical faces, and planar shoulders.

Manaetic Behemoth

The Manaetic Behemoth loop has an inactive and active form.

The inactive Behemoth waits for clockwork/spider-device activity. Devices move toward the center and signal the Behemoth when they reach the activation point. After the first signal, the Behemoth watches for a two-minute quiet window. If the signals stop long enough, the targetable Manaetic Behemoth appears.

The active Behemoth:

• Is scaled and raid-tuned.
• Has a leash check around the center area.
• Despawns if left idle too long.
• Restarts the device loop when it dies.

Manaetic Behemoth can drop Corrupted Steam Core, Shard of Broken Design, mechanical faces, and planar shoulders.

Reforged Heart Of Xanamech

Nitram Anizok asks for seven corrupted machine components:

Component	Source
Seared Gear Assembly	Manaetic Prototype XI
Fractured Power Lattice	Junk Beast
Twisted Servo Array	Greasy clockwork
Corrupted Steam Core	Manaetic Behemoth
Null-Coded Conductor	Manaetic Prototype IX
Screaming Resonance Coil	Manaetic Prototype X
Coven-Link Neural Shard	Glitched manaetic endurance adds

Combine all seven in a Tier Upgrade Kit to create Reforged Heart of Xanamech.

Hand Reforged Heart of Xanamech to Nitram Anizok. He stores your Xanamech progress, and afterward you can say READY to summon Xanamech Nezmirthafen.

Xanamech Nezmirthafen

Xanamech Nezmirthafen is the major capstone boss of Plane of Innovation. He is heavily scaled, shouts when he wakes, and uses the Chapter 3 reflected check at about 35% health.

For the reflected check, a living player must be carrying Eclipsed Midnight Mirror of Innovative Justice in the ammo slot and have the required mirror buff active. If the check succeeds, Xanamech has a 40% chance to become reflected. A reflected Xanamech gains a large stat boost and adds one reflected mechanical face reward:

• Face of Mechanical Force (Reflected)
• Face of Mechanical Remedy (Reflected)
• Face of Mechanical Impact (Reflected)
• Face of Mechanical Rage (Reflected)

Normal Xanamech loot includes:

• Shard of Fractured Pattern
• Mechanical face pool
• Innovations Justice belt pool
• Planar shoulder pool

When Xanamech dies, a Planar Projection appears.

Mirror Progression

Plane of Innovation is where the Nightmare mirror advances into the Justice-themed mirror.

Use a Tier Upgrade Kit to combine:

• Eclipsed Midnight Mirror of Nightmares
• Construct of Fractured Ingenuity
• Judicators Shattered Ideal

The result is Eclipsed Midnight Mirror of Innovative Justice, which is the mirror used for the Xanamech reflected check.

Plane Of Justice Access

After Xanamech dies, hail the Planar Projection. It grants Plane of Justice access if you do not already have it, shares that access through eligible same-IP group or raid members, and offers the Plane of Justice dynamic zone.

Say Plane of Justice DZ to create the instance, then say ready to enter.

Practical Route

Farm Innovation essence while collecting mechanical loot, then start Researcher Kaeon's endurance test. Watch for glitched manaetic adds because they are your Coven-Link Neural Shard source. Kill the prototypes for the conductor, coil, and gear assembly, work the greasy clockwork/Junk Beast path for the lattice and servo array, and finish the Behemoth for the steam core.

Once the seven components are complete, make the Reforged Heart, hand it to Nitram, summon Xanamech, and bring the Innovative Justice mirror if you are chasing reflected rewards.
