START

Mission Description

A strange flask resonates in the presence of nearby wisps. Someone may have been attempting an experiment involving the creatures. Finishing the experiment could yield useful information.

This mission was present in The Secret World and was cut for Secret World Legends. It is unknown why it was cut. There is a chance it may be added again in the future, so its information is added in this preliminary mission guide in the mean time as the mission in its current state as of 2025 February 16.

Tier 1

Task Description

The flask could have been used to entrap the essence of the wisps. Test this theory.

Objective: Pick up the flask

Pick up the Spirit jar. At least, it should be a spirit jar.

Objective: Destroy wisps to collect their essences

Kill 6 Ghostlights.

Tier 2

Task Description

The flask is filled with the essences of wisps. Any further information on the experiment would be documented at Innsmouth Academy.

Objective: Search the Academy for information

Go to the Innsmouth Academy library and read the book [Wisps: Nuisance or Menace?] that was left on a table (260,378).

Tier 3

Task Description

The research indicates a link between wisps and spirits of the dead. Completing the formula and testing it on resident spectres may yield results.

Objective: Combine the wisp essence with an alchemic catalyst

Enter the Alchemy Lab on the second floor of Innsmouth Academy. An Alchemic Catalyst (247.5,395.5) has been left on one of the lab benches. Use it to receive [Volatile essence flask] in your Mission Inventory.

Objective: Test the mixture on a spectre

Words about using [Volatile essence flask] on any spectre in Innsmouth Academy. Any spectre works, right? Let's check. Use from Mission Inventory or Quick Access Inventory Shortcut Bar.

Did not work on a Professor, but worked on a Phantasmal Faculty Magus to spawn a Spectral Wisp.

Volatile essence flask: Its effects on spectres are completely speculative. Used in "Wisped Away."

Volatile essence flask is not consumed on use. Using it casts "Wisp Transformation".

Picture of a Spectre as an example.

Tier 3

Task Description

There is no doubt the mixture had an effect on the spectre, but it proved relatively useless. The experiment should be considered of little practical use, but it was worth checking out. Finish up by destroying the spectral wisp.

Objective: Destroy the Spectral Wisp

Kill the Spectral Wisp. It is Level 20 and has X HP.
