Banded Adit is Assay Row's bay 2 alcove portal, opening into the Crystal Mine Low workings. The banding runs true here, layer under layer, and something in the deepest layer still catches the light before you do.
Overview
Banded Adit gates at level 30, the same threshold as the Drift Network's Busy Door across the aisle. What waits inside is a single golem family worked entirely in amber-lit stone, spread thick across the mine's full depth.
Inhabitants
The adit is worked by the Lampstone Golem, a single species at level 70 - well above the bay's own entry gate, so every fight here is a real one. Nothing else populates the mine.
Harvest
Bay 2 has no crystal drop to gather. Instead, Platewright Odell Marsh hands over a Lampstone Phial, a near-empty vessel with room for 20 charges. Every Lampstone Golem you personally strike down - only your own killing blow counts, not one felled by a companion or a pet - adds one charge, guaranteed, no roll involved. Once the phial reaches 20 of 20 it can hold no more; bring it back to Odell and he reads the banding and teaches Tiger Eye. A phial that is not yet full is simply handed straight back, with nothing lost.
Access
The Banded Adit portal sits in Assay Row's bay 2 alcove, directly in front of Platewright Odell Marsh. Inside the mine, a return portal named Surface leads back out to the hub aisle near him. Odell Marsh keeps the bench at this bay and reads the phial once it will hold no more.
