Charleston Crisis

Instance

Go in Verus and find Charleston (verus04 75, 114). She needs replacement parts from the factory.

After gaining her permission, you will be able to use the Machine next to her.

The party leader has to create the instance and the other members can join afterwards.

Destroying the Zone Security Devices

Walk towards Charleston 1 and she'll ask you to destroy the Zone Security Devices to move forward within the factory.

Go left and kill the first Zone Security Device (it's a mob). A portal will appear allowing to move forward.

Repeat the same process 3 more times until Charleston 1 asks you to meet her at the lab.

The lab is found in the middle (2@mcd 141, 199) of the map.

Moving there might be tricky, it's not easy to navigate.

Lab Requests

Inside the lab, go near Dr. Vee to trigger the next scene (you must be really close to him). Accept to help him.

The party leader has to speak with Charleston 1 (2@mcd 121, 217) and she'll ask you to kill 3 Locksteps.

You can see their locations on the minimap.

Return to Charleston 1 after killing 3 Locksteps. She tells you there's a problem with the generators, you have to investigate them.

You only have to go near the generators, you don't have to kill the Kickstep.

/navi 2@mcd 175/195

/navi 2@mcd 127/81

/navi 2@mcd 87/230

Return to the lab once you've investigated all 3 generators.

Talk with Charleston 1 again and then follow her to the right.

Note: For the next part, the portals will get closed so it is recommended to bring everyone in the lab before proceeding.

Speak with Charleston 2 and a new scene will begin. The portals will close.

You will get waves of mobs, they are fairly easy to kill. You must kill all of them to proceed and the portals will re-open.

The Core

Walk out of the lab and go all the way south below the middle /navi 2@mcd 130/127. Charleston 1 and 2 will be waiting for you.

Move near Charleston 2 to trigger the next dialogues.

Charleston 1 wants you to gather  1 Explosive Powder . These drop from the Step found in the instance.

Return to her and she will warp you inside the Core.

Walk near the NPCs to trigger the next scene. You have to defeat Charleston 3.

Charleston Parts

Once the scene between 1 and 2 is over, move downward and go back to Dr. Vee in the lab. A dialogue will trigger once you get close.

Talk to Shalosh (2@mcd 77, 167) and select I want to go back.

You will be rewarded with  3-4 Charleston Component and either  0-3 Huge Metal Scrap or  1-4 Old Fuel Tank .
