'''Fire Spire''' is a massive elemental spire dedicated to the god Agni. This spire is further south than any of the spires and is the only location where Fire Protection chestplates can be obtained. The Spire is located near the middle of the map, and is a popular destination for players coming from [[Special:MyLanguage/Huntsgrove|Huntsgrove]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/Bell Farm|Bell Farm]]. In order to loot any of the chests here, players must complete parkour, which is deadly if failed at some parts.
The '''Fire Spire''' is one of four elemental Spires found in [[Special:MyLanguage/MineZ|MineZ]]; it is dedicated to the god Agni. This Spire is the most intact as the others are all ruined/damaged in one way or another. There is one [[Special:MyLanguage/Lore|Lore Block]] at the top along with 8 chests. You need to obtain the Old Gnawed Bone for [[Special:MyLanguage/Asindia Ruins|Asindia Ruins]] from the chests here.

 +
There are three main floors in Fire Spire. The bottom floor has no chests but is where players can start the parkour up the ruined staircase. The first floor has 8 low-tier military chests. Players that decide to continue the parkour must pass medium difficulty jumps, including a 3 up 1 parkour jump that deals 4 hearts of damage if failed. At the top, players are rewarded with 8 unique spire_fire chests. These chests are special because they can spawn baked potatoes (which can be also be found in food_rare chests) and Fire Protection IV chestplates. The chests can also spawn chain armor and iron swords. Players should make sure to have at least 2 water bottles before ascending, as there is no water refill up top.

Bringing Agni's Seal from [[Special:MyLanguage/Frostbain Catacombs|Frostbain Catacombs]] here will allow the player to enter [[Special:MyLanguage/Past Fire Spire|Past Fire Spire]].

Overview of Fire Spire

Fire Spire is a massive elemental spire dedicated to the god Agni. This spire is further south than any of the spires and is the only location where Fire Protection chestplates can be obtained. The Spire is located near the middle of the map, and is a popular destination for players coming from Huntsgrove or Bell Farm. In order to loot any of the chests here, players must complete parkour, which is deadly if failed at some parts.

There are three main floors in Fire Spire. The bottom floor has no chests but is where players can start the parkour up the ruined staircase. The first floor has 8 low-tier military chests. Players that decide to continue the parkour must pass medium difficulty jumps, including a 3 up 1 parkour jump that deals 4 hearts of damage if failed. At the top, players are rewarded with 8 unique spire_fire chests. These chests are special because they can spawn baked potatoes (which can be also be found in food_rare chests) and Fire Protection IV chestplates. The chests can also spawn chain armor and iron swords. Players should make sure to have at least 2 water bottles before ascending, as there is no water refill up top.

Bringing Agni's Seal from Frostbain Catacombs here will allow the player to enter Past Fire Spire.

Lore

Lore Block

  • The lore block is located on the top floor of the spire in the center of the parkour at (677, 144, -194)
Held in permanent stasis at the top of this spire rests the God and Goddess of Fire, Agni.

Agni is said to have favoured humans most of the four elemental gods. Due to this bond, a colossal statue built in the image of Agni is said to preside near the town of Frostbain - a symbol of our ancestors' deep gratitude to them.

The Spire of Agni is the sole remainder of that tarnished bond. Isolated on an island, surrounded by frigid water, no flame will dance in these chilling surroundings. An iconic final resting place for Agni; among water.


External Lore

MineZː Our Story - Episode 4

Whisperers in the dark, hushed voices in cornersː They spoke of an option - one that would free us and preserve our way of life.

In Grimdale a council of the most powerful was held and the schematics for our salvation were revealed. Four large towers were to be erected; each meant to contain one of the elemental gods - like their actions against Hestril. The magic that was to control it - deep and primal. There was no other choice.

We grovelled at the gods' feet, promising to create monuments so grand and so vast that it would mirror the marvel of Axis Mundi - one for each of them.

With bated breath we watched everyday as those spires stretched higher into the sky, until at last they were complete. The greatest work a united human effort had constructed.

Foolishly, we sought peace. Our olive branch was met with a fireball that decimated the eastern city of Joh Nee A.

And so the spires were activated. The elemental gods were wrenched from their high seats in the heavens down to earth and contained in these orbs. Inside they would be placed in a meditative state to think on their transgressions - a fitting punishment for their actions.

At last, we were free.
