In this post I will explain
everything I know about the OCD quest in detail, so everyone
will be able to try it for themselves. I am doing this because
I enjoy helping other people out, and I hate when people
withhold information. I have a 115% Zenrei Ego Matrix, so you
can rely on this information.
Objective
The Oni Communications Device, when assembled, can
ultimately summon an encounter at the Continuum Wrinkle in
Xipe Totec, which includes the Zenrei Guardian Tempest. Many
uber items can be aquired only from this epic encounter. To
build the OCD, we must use the skills of each race, and
collect rare looted items, which drop only from Onis.
Getting Started
Like any other device, the recipe for the OCD must be
aquired. However, getting the recipe is a process unique to
the OCD. To to get the recipe for the OCD, a Slagged (Broken)
OCD device must be analyzed. Upon **** 3 or 4 new recipes
(number depending on race) will appear in the manufacture
terminal. These recipes are for the parts that must be built
first, so the final OCD can be assembled. Each race will
recieve different schematic upon the analyze, which means that
in order to ultimately construct the Communications Device, at
least one member of each race must analyze the Slagged.
Naturally, the lvl 9 broken device will require lvl 9 device
build to analyze. Also, this device is non-tradable and
non-storable.
It is not very hard to get the Slagged OCD, as compared to
some of the other rare drops required. This device will drop
of all Onis from CL 33 to CL 50. Of course, the higher the
level the Oni, the more likely that it will drop the device.
The Slagged OCD is not unique, so you can pick up more than
one. An explorer is needed to mine the fields on the other
side of the Intzalan Line in Xipe Totec. Onis will spawn in
the fields, along with high level manes. Once the Slagged OCD
is retrieved, read it's description. You will see that the
only recongizable word in it is Yasuragi. Yasurai is a lost
ship, but there is a replica of it, which serves as a station
on Swooping Eagle planet. The Slagged OCD can only be analyzed
at Yasuragi on SE planet.
Once analyzed, you will recieve a 3 or 4 schematics.
Terrans will recieve schematics for: [Comm Relay Conduit
(Can only be built by
Terrans) - Requires lvl 8
Bald Eagle engine & 1 vendor part Colloidial Magnetic
Transmitter (Can be built by all races)
- Requires 1 Reclaimed Manes
Essence, 1 Oni BioFlux Phermone, 1 Daeva Emitter, and 1 Wraith
Neurotropics Slagged OCD
(useless) - Requires 1 lvl 2
refined Zirconium
Progens will recieve schematics for: Comm Shielding
Array (Can only be built by
Progens) - Requires lvl 8
Sumter shield & 1 vendor part Colloidial Magnetic
Transmitter (Can be built by all
races) - Requires 1 Reclaimed
Manes Essence, 1 Oni BioFlux Phermone, 1 Daeva Emitter, and 1
Wraith Neurotropics Slagged OCD
(useless) - Requires 1 lvl 2
refined Zirconium
Jenquai will recieve schematics for: Comm Power Source
(Can only be built by
Jenquai) - Requires lvl 8
Veil reactor & 1 vendor part Colloidial Magnetic
Transmitter (Can be built by all
races) - Requires 1 Reclaimed
Manes Essence, 1 Oni BioFlux Phermone, 1 Daeva Emitter, and 1
Wraith Neurotropics Slagged OCD
(useless) - Requires 1 lvl 2
refined Zirconium Oni Communications Device (Can only be
built by Jenquai) - Requires
Comm Relay Conduit, Comm Shielding Array, Comm Power Source,
and Colloidial Magnetic Transmitter
The Veil, Sumter, and Bald Eagle can easily be bought on
market, if noone can make them.
Finding the rare Drops
Most of the time spent on this quest will be the search for
the rare Oni drops. It is not uncommon to search all day and
find nothing, so one must be patient in order to succeed. The
same method of finding the Slagged OCD will be used here. This
time however, each part will drop only from a specific type of
Onis. There are 6 types of Oni in total:
Oni - Combat level
25 - Drops nothing, and is
basically a decoration.
Oni Eblis (Eblis means "Principle
Spirit") - Combat level
28 - Drops nothing, however
killing these may help spawn larger Oni.
Oni Shaitan - Combat level
33 - Drops only the Slagged
OCD, and very rarely.
Oni Fiend - Combat level
36 - Drops the Oni BioFlux
Phermone very rarely. - Drops
the Slagged OCD
occasionally. - Spawns in
fields at (68,60,0) and (87,83,0)
Oni Daeva - Combat level
41 - Drops the Daeva Emitter
very rarely. - Drops the
Slagged OCD occasionally. -
Spawns in fields at (68,60,0) and (87,83,0)
Oni Wraith - Combat level
45 & 50 - Drops the
Wraith Neurotropics very
rarely. - Drops the Slagged
OCD often. - Spawns in fields
at (51,-87,0) and (48,54,0)
Mining fields must be done to spawn Oni in their locations.
On average, one Oni will spawn every 5 minutes per location.
The chances of getting an Oni to drop one of the rare parts
(not the Slagged OCD) is estimated to be between 1/300 and
1/500. Therefore, one could be looking at 40+ hours of camping
before seeing anything. Patience is the key to collecting the
drops. Camp one spot for a while, especially if the field
around it is mined. Sometimes the Oni spawn is delayed, and
other people will leave. Be there to collect the kills when
the Onis finally start to spawn. Once all the parts are found,
the OCD can be assembled.
The Epic Encounter
Bring the OCD to the Continuum Wrinkle near the moon Tetl
in Xipe Totec. You will need a lvl 9 device tech player to
target the Wrinkle and activate the device. Upon activation
wait about 20 seconds for a giant rip in space to from.
Shortly thereafter the giant blue transparent Zenrei Tempest
Guardian will appear, along with a few manes around lvl 40.
Concentrate all fire on the lvl 66 guardian, and loot as
quickly

Due to the maximum word limit, the last part
of my post was truncated. Here is the full last section:

quickly as possible. The encounter itself can be done with
just one group, and even one player only if experienced.
I hope this information has cleared all questions up. If
you have any more, I will be glad to answer here. The entire
quest start to finish takes 1-2 weeks with hard work. Good
luck!

/me bows to Thebo.
Great post.
Even with this knowledge, it will still be simply
impossible for most of the (non organized) players to get an
OCD (as intended, I assume). But, at least to me, the
knowledge about this 'quest' is motivation itself. ;-)
One further question.
Do you have any information about the frequency you spawn
the Guardian?
So long,

Nice post. Everything seems to be
correct. I can confirm the info since I have put 6 OCDs
together already and almost ready with the sevens one. I
have few thing to add and correct: There is no way 1
person can do it. Zenrei tempest spawns with about 4-5 manes
lvl 44+ and about 3-5 onis lvl 55-58 I think. Those lvl 55-58
onis heal the tempest. One person will get ripped aparted
there if not ksed. But yes 1 group can do it. I usually take 2
groups to be sure. Make sure you use impact or energy ammo
there because plasma does not work well.
Let me know if you have any questions.

exactly what you mean by this, Thomahawk. The guardian will
spawn every time you activate the OCD on the Continuum
Wrinkle.

I have seen two TEs who were able to kite the guardian on
galileo by themselves, but that was long ago. Perhaps now with
the "smarter" mobs you are correct, Webmaster. Thanks for the
correction.
Also, I had forgotten to add in that plasma will not work
well. Stick to explosive, impact, and energy for the guardian.
When working 2 groups, it is a good idea to have one long
range group hit the guardian while another shorter range group
takes care of those extra Manes and Onis. Thanks Webmaster!

A couple more small observations from my JE
alt...
"The Slagged OCD can only be analyzed at Yasuragi on SE
planet."
This is not completely true. You can analyze it anywhere,
you just have to go to Yasuragi first, to turn it
manufacturable. Also, no matter what quality it is when you
get it, as soon as you land, it turns to 100%. I landed with a
95% and a 113%, came out with two 100%. Still haven't gotten
the analyze tho.
Also, may I ask a silly question... Why does a lvl 50
Tempest spawn every now and then? It has no hulk to loot or
anything... Is it just eye candy?

Oh ok cool, thanks for the info. I had
always thought of Yasuragi as a nice quiet place for
analyzing, but I suppose if faction was bad there you might
want to try another place.
So far as I can tell, the lvl 50 Tempest is just eye candy,
and has no meaning.
Thanks Deusxi!

... The guardian will spawn every time
you activate the OCD on the Continuum Wrinkle.
- No time gap inbetween? As soon as it goes down, you can
summon another?
- How many Guardians can you summon at the same time? One I
assume, but did someone try to summon more than one at once?
(irrespective of the fact, if such would be clever)
- How behave the minions of the Guardian? -- Can you
summon a new Guardian without killing all of his fellows?, and
thereby increase their numbers? -- Do they vanish, when the
guardian got killed?

I would think you could summon as many
guardians as you had OCDs This brings up an interesting
idea. I remember one time the DEVs said that people were using
the OCD incorrectly. Perhaps one OCD could be used to summon
the guardian, and another to talk to it? This is something I
will work towards trying. Thanks for your insightful questions
Thomahawk! :)
As far as I know, the minions all vanish when the guardian
is killed, but I have never done it with less than two groups,
so I never had time to pay too much attention to what happens
to the minions. If anyone has this information, please share
it. :)

Thomahawk! :) My pleasure, always on duty. ;)
... I remember one time the DEVs said that people were

I am familiar to this (rumor) as well, so some further
questions/suggestions.
- Where do you know from, that the OCD is to be used on
exactly this location? I assume, from the item's description,
but could you post a (hard)copy of the text? - Are the any
other wrinkles, that have been tried within the galaxy (too
easy, I know) - Have you used the OCD 'on' the
Guardian? - A Guardian protects something - what? - Has
somebody tried to pass/use/... the wrinkle, as long as the
Guardian is around (alive)? (Most probabely not implemented
yet) - Ever tried to use mutliple OCDs at once
(simultaneously) at the wrinkle? - spawning an even bigger MOB
could be ... 'fun'

More great questions and thoughts. :)
Perhaps I can build upon them a little.
The description on the assembled OCD reads: "This device
was built from the recovered designs of the students of Master
Zeh Len. The original design was an attempt to communicate
with that master after her unfortunate mental capture by
unknown agents. It ultimately failed."
Nowhere have I found that the OCD must be used on the
Continuum Wrinkle. If anyone knows where such infomation can
be confirmed, please share.
There are no other wrinkles in the galaxy to my
knowledge.
I have not used an OCD on the guardian, but I am currently
working on doing so. I am also working on using two OCDs on
the wrinkle at once.
The 200% Oni Communications Device This is another thing
I am working on. I have collected various bits and pieces of
information from other players concerning a different
encounter when a 200% OCD is used. It is rumored that upon
building the 200% OCD, one must meditate on Yasuragi for one
hour, in order to spawn an even greater encounter. I have not
been able to confirm any of this though, so I must try it
myself. Unfortunately, the last OCD I made used 3 200% parts
and one 190% part and, much to my suprise, turned out 159%.
Once the Wizards of Doom gains control of the Zenrei ID
Matrix, which adds to device build level, we will be able to
construct higher quality OCDs.

ooo - some nice ideas Thomahawk :) I will
add the x2 device activation and activation on the Guardian to
my list of "to do's"
If you have an extra OCD lying about Thebo - try using it
on the Not-Guardian. I've killed him twice now, and he hasn't
dropped anything. :/ Need to get a couple of my guild mates
&/or alts up to build devices 7, before my guild can
continue w/this quest.
I have near max Jenq faction, and I failed x2 at Yasuragi
and x2 at Paren. I succeed the 5th one... at Mars. lol.
I plan on using the 1st or 2nd on the Guardian in IO.
also maybe: Legarto, Mondara and Mazzaroth rifts (inside
& at entrance), the Tomb & the rifts where hyperion is
spawned in VT, the permanent WH on Endriago Planet.
Just due to the description on the device, I doubt that
it's useful outside of Xipe.
I love the multi-step, balance and "hidden" nature of this
quest. Balance- You have to have explorers to get the oni,
freespacers and Thorvald to spawn so you can get the parts
instead of just getting a huge group togeather and tanking
it. Hidden, in that you don't talk to any NPC, you just
have to stumble upon it (w/the hint on the S-OCD). I really
hope there are more quests like this or will be in the future.
Having the Uber loot drop is sweet, but at least for me, not
that important as the discovery/completion.

Yep. One use only. But you keep the formulas
so all you need to do to get a 2nd is collect the parts again,
not analyze another Slagged OCD.

I have max JE faction, but only high, not max, JW faction.
By great good luck, my first slagged OCD analyzed at
Yasuragi.
Getting the components to build out at high levels takes a
lot of practice, which is quite expensive. I lost a couple of
Sumpters that way (still have to buy the things -- very costly
at high quality). [Oh well, back to hunting Bios until I can
build them myself.]
