Phase-Lost Slateback
This Slateback got lost wandering into various phases as it followed some ethereals around.
Acquisition Guide
The Phase-Lost Slateback is a mount obtained as a world drop in K'aresh during The War Within, acquired by collecting Phase-Diving orbs while in phase diving mode.
Unlock Reshii Wraps Rank 3
Before you can interact with Phase-Diving orbs, you must upgrade your Reshii Wraps to rank 3, which unlocks Secrets of the Depths and requires 6 total strands. Without this, orbs cannot be collected.
Enter Phase Diving Mode
Once your Reshii Wraps are at rank 3, activate phase diving in K'aresh. Any mount you own will work while phase diving — it will visually appear as the Phase-Lost Slateback, but you still need to collect the mount itself if you are a collector.

Search Tazavesh Spawns
Check the Tazavesh (map ID 2472) orb spawn locations at 44.15, 34.28 — at 44.32, 26.86 — at 39.61, 32.4 — and the additional Tazavesh point at 66.9, 89.7. Note that each orb can only be looted by one player, so if another player is already farming the same orb, you will need to find a different one.
Collect Orbs for Mount Drop
Each Phase-Diving orb you collect has roughly a 20% chance to drop a weapon reward, with the weapon being one you do not already own. The Phase-Lost Slateback itself is a world drop from this activity, so continue collecting orbs across all zones until the mount drops.
Tips
If you loot an orb but the item does not appear in your bags, exit the game fully and relog — the item will appear after logging back in.
Each orb can only be collected by one player, so multiple players farming simultaneously will compete for the same spawns.
