The Highlighting The Problem sidequest has three objectives to complete:

Investigate the area for clues about the statue

Right after interacting with the Wizard Statue, move behind it to find a glowing lore book – open and read it. You will then come to know that the actual password is hidden inside a Dragonkin Vault. This Vault is located northeast of the Guild Tower.

As you go through the vault, you’ll come across an open area with four Giant Rat enemies and what appears to be a broken staircase that doesn’t look like anything else in the vault. You need to jump up to this section to find a hidden statue.

Once you’re near it, head inside and keepAir Runesready, as you’ll need to use theWindstep spell(costs 5x Air Runes)to jump higher once you’re midway through and near an elevated platform.

Use the Windstep spell to get on top of it,move left, and you’ll gradually move into a dark room with a statue that’s glowing blue. Interact with it, and this will start the second part of the quest.

Find a way to power up the Orb

This objective will ask you to retrieve a crystal orb from within the Guild. To do that, you have to charge the orb on the pedestals around the Guild, located on top of the three towers inside.

Again, the best way to get on top of them is by using the Windstep spell again. Interact with these three pedestals, and go back to the Wizard Statue. Interact with it to unlock the recipe of the Staff of Light. Let’s now take a look at how you can craft it.
