Each of these items can be found in the level 85 Dungeon in nightmare mode, the Exelorn Hollows. Available inventory space is required at all times within the Exelorn Hollows if you wish to obtain these items.

Procedure:
  1. Rebirth so that you are on the Scion plane and reach level 100.
  2. Head over to Tyria Village and speak with the Goddess of Fate to begin the Second Rebirth quest.
  3. Remove all other quests EXCEPT the Second Rebirth quest.

Second Rebirth completed.

Notes:

  • Make sure that you have enough inventory space for all of the items that are required for the quest AND 2 open slots in the inventory.
  • You will not lose any of your equipment.
  • Level requirements for ALL equipment, wings, and mounts are still in effect.
  • Once you reborn all previously completed quests cannot be redone (level 1-100).
  • Only optional quests that were not previously completed can be accepted.
  • Honor System will NOT be affected.
  • Soul System will NOT be affected.
  • The skill points and attribute points are not stackable from the first rebirth, which means that you will start at level 1 with 26 skill points and 130 status points.
  • Getting the Exelorn nightmare Boss shards maybe tough if your not strong enough. It's best if you do a group party as everyone in the group will get the shards when that Boss dies. Also, there is a possible bug exploit for the Boss shards by joining a party with someone who can solo Exelorn nightmare, party members outside the dungeon can still get the Boss shards.
  • Boss shards are untradeable and cannot be put in vault so it is best not to do them til your level 98+.
  • Don't forget to turn on Frost buff before you Rebirth, it'll save you some time.

Wings

Wings-are like an extra equipment for your character. They boosts your character stats such as physical/magic attack, physical/magic defense, HP, Healing, Luck & Movement. Unlike equipment there is only one of them and you can only upgrade them. Wings need either Heroic Wings or Ethereal Wings to be upgraded.

You can get Heroic Wings from Dungeons, World Bosses, Events & Cash shop. Ethereal Wings can only be gotten through Cash shop, Events or Red/Black Dragon Hunt. Both are tradable between players. World Bosses' HWs can be distorted (drop 0 HWs) easily due to high level member in the party.

The amount of Heroic Wings you can receive per Dungeon is based on dungeon difficulty and amount of bosses
A rule of thumb to Heroic Wings in Dungeons are:
Normal Dungeons:  0-1 per boss, (chances are pretty much lower as you level up and almost 0% once u start seeing blacken names on Bosses)
Hard Dungeons: 1- 2 per boss, (both Hard & Nightmare drops remain the same as you level up)
Nightmare Dungeons: 1-3 per boss


Some low level dungeons like Revenant's Vault normal do not drop HWs at all. At some point you will be able to solo all of these dungeons.
Revenant's Vault nightmare guarantees you at least a minimum of 3 HW per run (3 bosses) and max of 9 wings per run. In total you can get around 15-45 (5 dungeon runs per day) the average being around 25-30 HWs 
Blood Coliseum (hard)- There's no nightmare so 4 bosses(1-2HWs)* 5 runs= 20-40HWs
Sacrifical Relics-(nighmare) - 3 Bosses *(1-3HWs)* 5runs = 15-45 HWs or 25-30 average
Killer Den (nm)- same as SR
Psychodelica(nm)- Karleya is the only Boss that drops HWs, she can be found 3x per run, so it's the same as SR, 25-30 average HW drop.
Exelorn Hollows(nm)- 7 Bosses that drop HW even at norm. 7*(1-3)*5 runs= 35-105 HWs
VIP Dungeons- add +5 HW per dungeon run except for Exelorn which is +7HW


Getting your wings
You get your wings by doing the Main quests. When you hit level20, you will receive a quest called 'Monikov's Prediction' complete the quest and you will receive your Wings.

Lucky Stars
The reason why you need all these HWs is because it is not easy to upgrade them. Every time you make 'click' to upgrade there is a slight chance of it being a full upgrade, in reality it increase your chance to get an upgrade. The higher your Wing levels are the more Lucky Stars are need to reach Wing upgrade.


Upgrading Wings
1. Open up your Wing Interface Box by pressing 'j' keyboard.
2. Click on Forge button. Continue until you run out of wings or give up.


Wing Types
There are 7 types of wings in the game with 3-tiers in each wing type. The 1st tier is the Wing type (Ex. Glowing Wings), 2nd tier is Extreme version (Ex. Extreme Glowing Wings) and 3rd tier is Ultimate (Ultimate Glowing Wings).

The 7 main types are:
Glowing Wings which take 4 HWs to upgrade
Angel Wings which take 6 HWs to upgrade
Dual Angel Wings which take 10 HWs to upgrade
Fire Wings which take 12 HWs to upgrade
Demigod Wings which take 15 HWs to upgrade
Angel Lord Wings which take 13 Ethereal Wings to upgrade
Demonlord Wings which take 13 Ethereal Wings to upgrade

Blessed Bath



Time: the whole day
Date: Unlimited
Level: 30-100
Attempts: 2 times each day
Event Details: The Valley of Light is known as a holy place in the land of Vidalia. It has been said that bathing in the Blessed Bath can greatly increase the experience of adventures. Be warned, however, that gaining this experience will be no walk in the park. Do you have what it takes?
Event Rules: Upon entering the Blessed Baths, your HP will begin to rapidly decrease while you steadily gain experience. How long you are able to survive in the Baths will be determined by your party's teamwork.
Recommended Party Size: 3+
Event Reward: Level-Based EXP, decreasing as you level up.


Location:
Access to the Blessed Bath by talking to the Mystic Priest (Event) NPC in the center of Starglade.




Point of Blessed Bath

It's a fast free semi-easy way of getting Experience, without killing mobs. However, it is not a free pass of Exp, you must earn it by surviving it. To start a bath, you need 5 members in a party, this will maximize your survival chance as well as your Exp. Once you enter the bath you will gain Holy Water in your inventory. Put the Holy Water into the your skill bar as it is the fastest way to gain access to it during the bath.



Once you're done, go onto the bridge, the furthest your group should go is (X:44 Y:31) or some where close to the center of the bridge but not any further up, due to the lightning strikes that will occur later in the bath, in which you will take damage. When you run low on HP run back down the bridge(not toward the lightning) and wait til a member re-heals your or the group and go back to the bridge.

Once the leader initiates the Bath, by talking to NPC, you will start losing HP, in which we call a 'tick.' The amount of damage you take is proportional to your maximum HP, so having tons of HP will not help you. The amount of HP healed by Holy Water also depends on your maximum HP, and your Heal rating will not boost this so everyone will have the same healing power. After you use Holy water you must wait several ticks or about 1min for the Holy Water to reset and be used again.

When you use the Holy Water, a Targeting Circle will appear as if you are casting an Area-of-Effect spell. Target the group with it. If you go outside the bridge there maybe a chance that the heal may glitch or may miss a member outside the group.

In order to have a successful run in the Bath, is to be organized. Giving each member a place and an order number. By using the system box as a counter for ticks, a successful bath uses a 3,2,3,2,3 tick order or 3,2,3,3,3 order. What this says is Member 1 will wait after 3 ticks (lost of HP) to use Holy water, then member 2 will heal 2 ticks after and so forth. (
Hint: the first Soul Root Crystal Reward is the 8th tick, so the 4th & 5th members don't need to count until they see SRC). Once the 5th member heals, you repeat the process again and again until you get the 'Mother Goddess has weaken' sign in your chat box.

You will receive Soul Root Crystal during your bath, the amount you receive is either 1 or 2 SRC during each midpoint. There are 5 mid-points in 1 bath run so your chances of receiving SRC per bath run is 5-10 or 10-20 in a 2bath runs while the average is really somewhere between 13-18.
You use SRCs to make Soul Shards which are then used to help improve your Soul Development.

Note:Level 50 Priest may be able to solo baths, due to one of their lvl 50 skills. Failed Holy Water  will occur due to glitches and please be patient about that. People will forget to use Holy Water because they lost count, looking at another website etc.. Most importantly if you see a low level player in the party ask them if they've done bath before and teach them as they may be a bane to your successful bath.
