Playing the Game
When you agree to play, you will be teleported to a random spot in the zone, be restricted to level 1 and a countdown clock will appear on your screen. From there you have 3 minutes to find a Shard of Sunlight.

Click on it to get a random number of shards, between one and five. Continue to search the zone and collect as many shards as you can before returning to Babban. You must return to Babban and complete the conversation with her before time runs out to have them count.
Babban's friends are also wandering the zone. If they see you they will attack. They will usually steal your shards, but they can also take off up to 45 seconds of your time and cast gravity.
- Babban's Progeny - steals shards only
- Bryher - gravity only
- Abenzio - steals shards only
- Darach - time off only
- Camlin - steals shards only
Wearing one of the +1 items listed above doubles the number of shards from the spot of light.
Wearing two of the +1 items listed above quadruples the number of shards.
However, the aggro range of the Babban's friends will also increase with each +1 worn.
