I have a alt that I did the Zerth mortis skip on and I’m trying to figure out how to unlock the optional reagent slot. I talked to a couple of other people who ran through the story and it seems like they have it unlocked but mine says ‘Explore Zereth Mortis to learn about Progenitor Enhancements’. I’ve explored the entire zone on that toon, gathered the cyphers to unlock the table to buff pocopoc for the first two tiers. Anyone know what the requirements are or are the people I talked to blowing smoke?
I figured it out you need to complete a quest called ‘What is this thing’ it starts from an item drop that I got from Protector of the First Ones. Hopefully this helps someone.

They drop from rares, a good tool to find them is HandyNotes Shadowlands, it will mark on your map where they can be found, and from what rares.
OK after reading this and looking around a bit. I know I need to keep an eye out for a drop called “Unformed Essence”. Apparently, it drops from a lot of different NPCs in Zereth Mortis with Xarenak the Soulstealer having the highest drop percentage. Found at coordinates 53.2 59.4. After you get it, turn it in to Firim at coordinates 34.2 48.6. It hasn’t dropped for me yet. sigh…
