A weekly quest activated by Lesser Benthic Arcanocrystal.

When summoning the elemental creation, you can use drops on the arcanocrystals:
Strange Volcanic Rock
Strange Mineralized Water
Strange Oceanic Sediment

These empower the elemental and thus empower the rewards.

Super frustrating trying to get there with all the current overtuning. Good luck.

Commento di LostInFlorida

A weekly quest, of which I managed to gather 9 of the items to activate the crystals with on patch day. If these items are going to continue to drop like this, and only reward 5 pearls a week, I wont even bother with them anymore.

Commento di Annaillesa

Please note: You can only do this once a week. So if you get one of these items and have already done it for the week, they will have to sit in your bags until the next week(s). I ran all the way there without realizing this and wasted a trip.

Commento di Vexed5150

Not sure I understand the point of this weekly quest. Maybe I don't understand how it functions but the first time I did it, it told me the reward would be 5 pearls. But there's a lesser and greater arcanocrystal you can choose to do, you can effectively empower the enemy you need to kill, turning it into an elite with about 1.5 million HP. So that's what I did -- used the resources I had collected, buffed the encounter boss and killed him. Reward did not improve and I didn't receive any special loot from the drop table either. Still got 5 crystals. Maybe this will be different in following weeks, where activating a lesser crystal will grant less pearls than activating the "greater" crystal will but on the first attempt at least, it made no difference. Still, 5 pearls for this and it can only be done once a week based on what I've read so far? Seems like a waste of time with how many pearls are necessary to start upgrading benthic gear up over 400+ ilvl.

Commento di Gazorninplat

As an iLvl 398 Fire Mage, I could not kill him alone. Am I stuck now? I tried to group and was phased out.

Commento di marklm68

Im a 402 enhancement shaman and hes kicking my butt. I tried inviting a guildie and it says they are in a different phase. Sucks!

Commento di forrrest

Prole di Salgos is spawned by using Greater Benthic Arcanocrystal and Lesser Lithic Arcanocrystal.

Commento di Sift

Lesser Lithic and Greater Benthic spawned "Spawn of Salgos". I'm assuming the combination matters, so figured I'd share.

Commento di Rixa44186

Adding my experience here since it seems activating different crystals before facing the elemental leads to different results.

I just did the quest and chose to empower the lesser benthic arcanocrystal (small bluish purple one) and the greater lithic arcanocrystal (big yellow one) before activating the essence amalgamator. It summoned an elemental named Zomera who cast both frost and earth spells. It had about 1.8 million hp and hit decently hard. I found it pretty easy to solo on my 413ilvl frost mage.

Strangely, although I had the quest item reagents in my bag (including the Strange Oceanic Sediment and the Strange Mineralized Water) the items weren't consumed upon use. I assumed they would be.

Edit: it appears there was a bug and the items are now consumed on use. You can also activate the amalgamator without empowering any crystals.

Commento di jfoobar

Only have picked up the water and the volcanic rock so I summoned Omus with lesser blue and greater red. A pretty easy kill (albeit time consuming one) on a 393 ilvl BM hunter. Since I have lots more of each of the water and rock, I'll probably just keep doing that one since I mostly care about the 500 rep per week.

Commento di Phalock

I was very confused about how this whole system worked until I found Neryssa’s comment.

TLDR: If you've already completed Il Laboratorio di Mardivas for the week, you won't be able to use the Arcane Reagents to do anything inside Mad Mardivas's Laboratory.

Longer explanation: once you have unlocked Mad Mardivas’s Laboratory, you will find a weekly quest (Il Laboratorio di Mardivas). If you just do the quest in its most straightforward form, you will spawn Amalgama Arcano. However, if you wish, you may use Arcane Reagents (Acqua Minerale Strana, Roccia Vulcanica Strana, Sedimento Oceanico Strano) to empower either one Lesser Arcanocrystal OR one Lesser Arcanocrystal and one Greater Arcanocrystal. Different mobs will spawn depending on which Arcanocrystal(s) you empower, and different mobs can drop different loot. Defeating the mob spawned by every possible combination is the point of the achievement Distruzione periodica. (Incidentally, this will take a minimum of 13 weeks to complete, but some of these mobs are rather hard to kill if the comments on their individual Wowhead pages are to be believed.)

One other tip: Arcane Reagents are not soulbound, so keep them all on your bank alt until you're ready to use one or two on reset day.

Commento di Shaggypaw

Did Lesser and Greater Pyroclasmic, got fire Elemental Ungormath, only 2 gray drops

Commento di Lucetia2896

This quest summons the mobs needed for Distruzione periodica which is a part of the meta Usurpatore degli oceani.

The mobs seem to drop ~2-3 Perla di Mana Prismatica and the final quest turn in giving 5 Perla di Mana Prismatica. If you are unsure if you have done it this week you can copy and paste this into your chat log. If "true" is returned it has been completed. If it states "false" then the quest hasn't been done. /script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(55121)).

Commento di Ribcakes

I activated the lesser and greater benthic crystals and got Osgen with 1.38M health, he had 2 manaperls, 2 greys, and a scrying stone.

Commento di Amaleana

I activated with a Strange Volcanic Rock, and Strange Oceanic Sediment. Spawned Moghiea, 1.82mil health. 416 balance Druid, used treants and watched where i stood. Easy peasy. Dropped Staff, Granbastone Maestoso degli Shirakess, 3 , 100 Ankoan waveblade rep, and some vendor trash. Quest turn in gave me another 500 rep.

All told I got:
8
600 Ankoan Rep. (100 for the kill, 500 for turn in)
Granbastone Maestoso degli Shirakess (At 390ilvl)

Commento di Char

Just beat one and got rep for the kill. now i can turn in the quest. I'm wondering if I can abandon the quest and start again to kill a different one. Just dont want to lose out on the quest altogether. Has anyone tried this after killing the summon?

Commento di elzzipilf

I used Strange Mineralized Water for the lesser and Strange Volcanic Rock for greater and summoned Omus.

Has a fire and frost AoE that will stay on the ground for a while. Might be tricky for squishy classes or those that aren't geared enough to end the fight quickly. Has two interruptible skills; one that will increase his elemental damage by 25% that stacks if I remember correctly and one that provides him with shields to pad his HP. Personally, I started with interrupting the shields but when I saw that his damage increase stacks I just interrupted that and pushed passed the shields.

Commento di Hanke

Lesser Pyroclasmic + Greater Benthic= Xue.

3 manapearls, 100 unshackled rep, some grays, and then 500 rep from the turn-in.

Commento di Dunkeld

Spawned Zomera by using a Lesser Benthic Arcanocrystal and a Greater Lithic Arcanocrystal.

Uses Sandstorm, Icestorm, Deep Waters and Earthbolt

Sandstorm oddly enough is a channeled sandstorm dealing light damage and pushes you around. Unavoidable. Zomera will stand still and channel this ability, it cannot be interrupted.

Icestorm is a travelling aoe zone dealing frost damage, damage increases the closer you are to it's centre it seems. Avoidable. Zomera will cast this ability and continue fighting, it cannot be interrupted.

Deep Waters will launch water globules into the air with targeted void zones on the floor, standing in these causes damage. Avoidable. Zomera will channel stand still and cast then channel this ability, it can be interrupted in both the cast and the channel.

Earthbolt is a damaging spell that deals moderate Nature damage. Double the damage of a standard melee attack. Unavoidable. Zomera will stand still to cast this ability and then continue fighting, it can be interrupted.

Zomera has 1.7 Million HP, hits for 11k (26k crit) with melee attacks, 23k with Earthbolt, ticks for 4k with Sandstorm and between 3 and 8k with Ice Storm. I was not foolish enough to let Deep Waters hit me.

At the time of recording I am a 401 ilvl Elemental Shaman. The fight lasted 1 minute 33 seconds and was easily handled using Heroism, a Primal Earth Elemental for the first minute of the fight and a Primal Storm Elemental for the remainder.

Zomera Dropped 3 Prismatic Manapearls, a Scrying Stone and gave 100 rep with the Waveblade Ankoan for killing and a further 5 Manapearls and 500 rep with the Waveblade Ankoan for turning in the quest.

Commento di artix

I did the Lesser Pyroclasmic Arcanocrystal and Greater Pyroclasmic Arcanocrystal and ended up with Ungormath. He was quite annoying and ALOT of fire patches, will be annoying for melee.

Both Arcanocrystals require the Roccia Vulcanica Strana as reagent.

Commento di Uroon

By using different combinations of reagents each week, you can work towards summoning each of the creations for the achievement Distruzione periodica. Check out Neryssa's top comment over there for the combinations for each creation.

Commento di Aisenfaire

Ignore all the comments complaining about how small the reward is. This is a free 550+ rep every week.

All your alts that need the Nazjatar heart essences should be doing this.

Note that if you are undergeared, you can click on the highlighted gray bowl to start the encounter directly, without clicking any of the crystals that empower the mob.

Quest turn in: 500 rep
Killing the creature: 50 rep base level. Buffing the creature 2x makes it give 100 rep. It was easy to kill at 415 ilvl equipped, to give an idea of gear.

Commento di Castor27

Lesser Fire/Greater Water = X'ue

Commento di Kurasu

You are only able to kill one per week.

If you activate, then drop the quest and re-take, you will not get the chance to resummon; you simply get the quest marked as 'completed' and turn it in.

Commento di Chronokatan

If you, like me, have bad gear and a class (I am a mage with ~390 gear) that can't tank the mob one item that's super helpful:

Balsamo Fangoso you can get these in Nazjatar and they have no cool down/heal you up nicely.

It has 5 charges and needed 3 for one of the bigger elementals. Allowed me to even kill the bigger elemental that you can't slow down and destroyed me before.

Commento di Ozonekiller

Here's the script to check to see if you have done this for the week:

/script print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(55121))

Commento di mushu999

NOTE: do not enable (use) an item and then click and turn that same pylon off. It will not let you enable it again and you have just wasted your item for the week. :(

Commento di frakbt

Please note: You must have the appropriate reagent ( Acqua Minerale Strana, Roccia Vulcanica Strana, Sedimento Oceanico Strano) in your bags when you accept the quest, or the corresponding crystals will not be enabled. Having them in your bank will not count.

However, you can just abandon the quest and grab the needed reagents and pick up the quest again.

Commento di reidsb

It's looking like every one of these summons has additional items they can drop. I believe all of these models can be found elsewhere, like in Arcane Chests or from Nazjatar rares. But this is still a source for a few interesting pieces of transmog, or at the very least, a few interesting recolors, and allows you to farm specific models by choosing specific elementals every week.

The elementals also have a chance to drop the various 'tool' items from Nazjatar. (Pietra Rivelatrice, Esca, Seme Germinante, and Piccone per Salmastrite)

Happy farming!

Commento di Lavisaur

I had an issue where I could not click any of the pedestals for the crystals. All the pedestals already have their opaque coloured crystals on top of them and I didn't have the cogwheel cursor to add an Arcane Reagent to them.

BUT I was able to fix this issue by relogging. Every pedestal was showing crystals on them, but this time I was able to click them and add Arcane Reagents!

It was really annoying me since week 2 of 8.2 and I just got my alt to do the lab weekly (not the initial one) to use Arcane Reagents. When I walked in and grabbed the quest, the pedestals were empty with translucent crystals showing the possible placement of the crystals and I was able to add Arcane Reagents to them with no issue.

Commento di archdruidbook

WARNING: If you are a squishy little spellcaster with a low item level, DO NOT TOUCH THE BIG CRYSTALS. Don't be an idiot like me who summoned an elemental too big for me to kill.

Commento di Gwiez

Do we know if the epic drops only drop for certain classes? Like if I were farming xmog, could my hunter get the 2h strength sword? Or could my demonology warlock get it for my felguard?

Commento di Gershuun

To start this quest, kill an Algan. It starts from this item Arcanocristallo Bentico Minore

Commento di Sulis

Cave is on Azsh'ari terrace, coords to entrance 60,31

Commento di Smeller

After you defeated the Elemental you can't cheese the achievement by abandonong and re-accepting the quest to fight another Elemental. As soon as you re-accept the quest it gives you kill credit for defeating an Elemental.

Commento di Malvenue

You will only be able to interact with the crystals for items in your bags when you pick up the quest. If you keep the items in your bank (like me) and pick up the quest and are unable to activate the crystals you want after getting the items out of your bank, drop the quest and reacquire it and you'll be able to interact with all the crystal types that match the items in your bags.

Commento di jasper02

The quest to unlock Mardivas' Laboratory comes from obtaining a 'Lesser Benthic Arcanocrystal'.
As far as I know, the fastest way to get this item is from the Bloodfin Murlocs near the Ashen Strand.
After killing a few dozen of them, the quest item dropped.

Commento di heus

if we accidentally summoned without using crystals but didnt kill can you not redo with crystals?

Commento di Atrocita

So I can't seem to find if these kills count account wide for the achievement? Can anyone confirm?

Commento di ladynagini

Despite putting you in a phase all by yourself, this quest cannot be completed in raid. You can summon the elemental and get credit for the related achievement, but no quest credit. You are locked in to the crystals you chose, and can summon the same elemental again to finish the quest.

Commento di megamart

If you cannot find any quests in the laboratory, then you need to get Arcanocristallo Bentico Minore from mobs in Nazjatar. This will give you access to complete the weekly quests.

Commento di Kaerfemagsh

how do you do this? i went in here to do the weekly & could only interact with the pedestal at the end, not any of the crystals, even though i have several of the reagents

Commento di Turkodos

This quest is involved in the achievement Periodic Destruction Distruzione periodica
Read about it before deciding how to proceed with this quest.

Commento di joker102877

Access to Mardivas' Labratory and completion of the achievement Periodic Destruction begins with completing L'eredità del Mago pazzo, and leads to opening up the weekly quest Il Laboratorio di Mardivas, in which you will have to summon various elementals over the course of 13 weeks. You may summon one elemental per week by, either activating the Amalgamatore di Essenza Elementale alone, or activating various combinations of the lesser and greater Arcanocrystals, using Acqua Minerale Strana, Roccia Vulcanica Strana, and Sedimento Oceanico Strano along with the Amalgamatore di Essenza Elementale, and completion of the quest grants 10 Perla di Mana Prismatica. Activating the Amalgamator will summon the elemental and lock out until the weekly server reset. Each elemental also has a chance to drop various rare and epic loot. I'm not sure how other classes fare, but I completed all elementals as an Unholy Death Knight, never bothering to switch to Blood spec.

To Summon:	Use Item(s):	To Activate:
Arcane Amalgamation	None	Amalgamatore di Essenza Elementale

Commento di crimsonhellgr

Also mind that this is most probably a reference to the Dungeon and Dragons "Dungeon of the Mad Mage" where Halaster Blackcloak is waiting to ~~trap~~ welcome adventurers daring enough to venture into the Undermountain

Commento di Nekrotik

This quest starts with Arcanocristallo Bentico Minore, which drops from algans, murlocs, certain Zan'jir mobs and others. Or just open the arcane chest at 79,27 and most likely it will drop. The cave entrance is under an overhang at 61,32. I did this quest and the immediate follow-up weekly quest on an alt in 8.3 and received 12 Perla di Mana Prismatica, 1600 rep with The Unshackled, and some gray items. Easy kills at ilevel 406.

Commento di Flyv

Entrance: /way 60.69 32.16

It's at the bottom level; the "natural" level if you're on foot, else in a cave with nagas if you're flying above. Under an underhang.

As a level 53 Goblin priest with 15,540 health, I didn't stand a chance against the Water Amalgamation which had a health of 54,714.
Is this quest really worth the trouble?
